Objectionable Objection

The manga is trash but I feel you guys are giving too much credit to the anime. People fanboy over the manga for a reason. They think just because it's different than the DBS anime, it's good (Which is retarded), because the anime is a bloated mess of abandoned ideas and bullshit fluff and inconsistent scaling. Only difference is when it needs to it can buckle down and make some amazing entertainment, but that's just it have 8-9/10 stuff in a sea of 4/10 shit. At least GT is just a continuous 6/10.
Well, I’d also give the anime credit for more fleshed out/entertaining antagonists.

Anime Hit and Goku Black >>>>> Manga Hit and Goku Black.

Hit only loses and has no personality in the manga. Whereas Anime Hit has two back and forth fights with Goku pretty much ending in draws, and a brutal beat down of Dyspo and elimination of Kunshi, before finally losing to Jiren (while still getting to display a cool new technique that makes Jiren struggle a bit in the process with the time cage). And of course he has a more defined personality as someone who had his warrior’s pride awakened by Goku despite being a cold assassin for so long, and someone who adapts and improves the longer a fight goes on as he learns more about his opponent (like when he tricked Dyspo into almost getting ringed out).

The very idea of an “evil Goku” is something straight out of fanfiction but the anime managed to elevate that concept quite a bit with Goku Black actually being elegant, menacing, and badass (Masako Nozawa put in work with her voice acting to make her Goku Black inflection different from when she was voicing Goku as well so props to her for that). Whereas the manga made him a whiny bitch that threw a tantrum when Vegeta was beating him. Pretty much erasing the distinction of Zamasu’s mind being affected by being in a Saiyan body that the anime showed.

GT even if more consistent with its animation and some other stuff still really only had one good antagonist (Baby) with the rest mostly being boring rehashes (Super Android 17, Omega Shenron) or complete jokes (Haze Shenron and almost every other Shadow Dragon I can remember except Nova)

And the manga is an anemic mess of ideas that should have been abandoned, none of the classic fluff that makes Dragon Ball Dragon Ball (fluff or not, those moments helped make DB and DBZ), and even worse scaling than the Anime once you really look into it.


The real reason people simp for the manga are because they are Idiots who always believe Manga > Anime, no matter what. The vast majority of the biggest DBS manga fans over anime fans is that section. They will lie if called on it, but its 99% this reason alone.

Calling his fight with Goku a loss is really freaking stretching it :mjlol . Dude had help with his help and he still nearly died :skully.
To be fair, in the next page it states Vegeta was winning against Goku but only lost because the latter had help

Promotional material states the Ultimate Gohan in this movie is the strongest he’s ever been

so I guess he’s not weaker here

It's using the Anime Continuity so Gohan finally stuck to what Piccolo taught him at the ToP Arc.
Promotional material before said he’s been slacking off on his training in this film

honestly it just seems like the Ultimate form boosts him to his prime, whether he’s been slacking off or not

I'm a huge Gohan and Piccolo fan so I have been staying away from all the details of this movie.

Curious to see what Gohan does post ToP.

If Cell comes back I want him to stay alive

I don’t want him to die again while that goober Freeza gets to walk free
