Aight, that was pretty freaking good. Thin out the groups really quickly, and we can develop the more interesting characters later. There's still a pretty wide gap between the top fighters and the fodder, just like in the anime, but given that we didn't spend a lot of time developing every member of the team, it feels way more appropriate.
I also like Kefla a lot. Like, the Broly thing I never really liked (I wasn't a huge fan of the Broly movies), but her just being incredibly talented in base form but not wanting to overshadow Kale is something I can get behind. Kinda like Trunks and Vegeta back vs Cell.

Wow I fucked up those names, yeah.

The manga just makes it abundantly clear what Dragon Ball Super would look like if it was written/produced to resemble something of quality instead of being a dragged out cash-cow. It clearly tries to respect the intellect of it's characters and that of it's readers. Case in point? The battle royale is shaping up to actually being a battle royal between all universes, instead of; LETS TARGET UNIVERSE 7 FOR NO APPARENT TACTICAL REASON.
Yes, I'm salty at this arc in the anime.

Don't forget, the animation arc started the same way. It showed other universes fighting others and than it became all vs universe 7.

^ well, they should be thanking Goku and U7 otherwise they wouldn't have even had a chance and would've been wiped out long ago.

Yea I wasn't trying to sound fully convinced that it won't devolve into what happened in the anime. However, at-least the manga doesn't have any inclination thus far that some furry losers (or otherwise) would fully commit to take down U7 from the get go for no real tactical reason. Nor is U10 (namely Jiren) just standing around like he was in the animation arc.
I just hope the manga doesn't give U7 a 90 percent knockout count like the animation did. That to me truly made U6 and U10 look plain silly.

I'll be dreaming of a sort of Dragonball Super Kai, where they take the manga and use that as the storyboard, instead of whatever that week's writing team had for lunch. I mean, it still doesn't fix the Zamasu arc, but at least Goku used Hakai that one time. That's still better.

I just remember thinking "oh god, no" as soon as I saw that scythe. I couldn't help but wonder if whoever wrote that had even seen DBZ before. It was just such generic, out of place bullshit.

The Vegito retcon is also unforgivable. Issue is that they wrote themselves into a corner with Zamasu and Zeno. They couldn't use the "fusion kills immortality" obvious out because they needed Zeno to erase shit because they had Goku promise Zeno a playmate. Really, really bad writing ruined a good arc.

It's like they assigned one person to writing the first 90% and another person writing the last 10%. They were both told to not talk to each other under any circumstances. At the end of 3 months, smash the two together and ship it.

Wow what big recruitment arc. Before Super kai. I actually want the first part dragonball given a new animation. A high quality stuff. I dream of something like netflix having a deal woth toei and animate those stuff with propper teams doing it. And not a continuous every week anime but a season thing. A arc a season. To give it some prepartion and to retain the quality. Plus, you can give each season a subtitle. Tje very first could be callee Dragonball: A journey to the west.

Also, the potara retcon was indeed silly. Wrinting into a corner. It was a really huge weapon to have there and not veing used. The premature ending because of too much power is okay, but being a time limit in the first place is not. The fusion could end anyway without a time limit. Vegito seemed confident in the manga that he was so much ahead of Zamas that he could desintegrate him through his immortality. Vegito was pretty brutal. The anime fight had nice animation, but lacked the overwhelmingness and brutality that Vegito showed in the manga. Anime also tend to 'hide' blood a lot more than the manga

Yeah I really wish they had shown U11, 6 and others knocking out more people. Really dumb of them.

U11 only Jiren eliminated people (low single digits of people though). Universe 7 did like 75% of the eliminations on the other Universes and to make things even better, Roshi, Tien, Gohan, 17 and 18 all pretty much eliminated themselves.
They gave the other universes nothing.

Waking up today and remembering there's no DBS this week was really painful.

The wait hurts, but the hype is real. These episodes coming up are what we've all been waiting for, and seeing how garbage the rest of the arc has been in comparison, apparently they're the only episodes the writers really give a shit about either. But it's been worth it.
