[@MaRgEd.ZamaSU]

Art= started with episode 47 but some of the episode made it bad animation or art. Story: Goku black best story in entire Dragonball imo. Frieza will be first cause yes he did bad played with the Saiyan race. But Goku black a supreme kai became a psychopath because of the point of view on mortals. Music: start with goku black arc (yes bog has those ost's but man when future mai let future trunks leave and future trunks screaming to her ' no mai I can't leave you here again'. Fight: start with Goku vs zamasu and goku black first fight. (Man Goku was back flipping zamasu's move and fights in the city which was rare to see) Villain: lol only zamasu was villain in dragon ball super. Frieza just a remake of DBZ ROF which most of the fans ignored it as well as bog arc. U7vsU6 Tournament and tournament of power isn't about villain. So only Villain or best villain was Zamasu. Surprises: started with Goku black spoilers and final surprises was Goku raged in Mui on jiren but most great surprise was 109-110 together in one day. Great moment: Vegito my boy.

[@stevenjohnson6962]

My biggest complaint about the future trunks ending is trunks going to a new universe. To me at that point it makes more sense to me to have him stay in the past then to go to another universe. It would have been an interesting storyline to have him trying to figure out a new life, dealing with the consequences of his failure, and then have him available for future arcs. Like I think it would have been interesting for him in superhero trying to deal with new androids.

[@Cody_L._Brock]

Plus he would’ve been among people who he’s bonded with and not duplicates.

[@Cody_L._Brock]

@@j04370859 Yes. Because one is an adult with different experiences than the child version of himself. 2. They’re easily distinctive. 3. Tournament of Power Trunks? They could’ve had an awesome moment where he and the Androids teamed up. Especially the irony of how they were enemies once.

[@entertainmentnewsnow3682]

Toriyama and Toyotaro really fucked yo by not having Future Trunk stay in the current timeline. It would have been great dynamic that would have fit especially with current trunks relationship is stronger with Goten, whereas we could have seen how current Gohan and future trunks would be now that they are older being that this trunks only had gohan in his future timeline.

My favorite Gohan moment in the T.O.P. was when in the earlier episodes when they eliminated one of the universes and a locket fell right in front of Gohan of the warrior he was fighting that had a pic of himself and his family. Gohan looked so hurt. It hit hard cause Gohan was fighting for his family too. One of the most underrated scenes from T.O.P.

A lot of parallels between the Goku Black arc and the Cell arc! Trunks coming to the past. A mysterious villain with a plot twist. Multiple plot twists in each arc. They both really kept you guessing!

Also: 1. A villainous duo terrorizing the Future: Cell saga Androids 17 & 18; Goku Black arc Goku Black & Future Zamasu. 2. The main villain is green who think he is the perfect being when he reaches his final form. Cell thought he was perfect after absorbing 17 & 18 & reached Super Saiyan 2 levels of power after Goku teleported him away from earth while Zamasu thought he was perfect & divine when he was fused with the invincible & immortal Future Zamasu & Super Saiyan Rose Goku Black

[@cosmosofinfinity]

It's a shame Dragon Ball Super only really amounted to a prologue multiverse tournament, Goku Black (which totally bastardized Trunks), and then the actual multiverse tournament arc. 2 mini arcs, and then one actual arc. And even including the manga, not one arc has carried the weight or longevity of any of Z's arcs, which pretty much marked entire eras unto themselves (4 clean cut dividers between saiyans, Namek, androids, Buu as the entire story). I guess in this sense it is going back to more original Dragon Ball (non-Z) sorts of arcs?

[@punishedvenomsnake716]

[@buildaggedonarmanaziie4462]

I like both arcs, but I ABSOLUTELY *LOVE* the Goku Black/Zamasu Arc more, because - 1. There was a good reason as to why Goku Black was as strong as he was, because he was using Goku's body and power and it wasn't like Jiren how he is just here and he is just that strong, because he did have an origin, but that origin was dry as hell. 2. Zamasu/Goku Black actually had a great buildup how he became the way that he became and how his mindset developed. 3. Goku could NOT defeat Goku Black, because every time that Goku fought Goku Black even when enraged all Goku Black is going to do is learn and feed off of Goku and get stronger, which is why Bulma was wrong when she was telling kid Trunks to leave everything to Goku, because Goku cannot beat Goku Black, and this leads to another character being able to get the win and be the main hero of the arc. 4. There was a lot of interesting powers in the Goku Black/Zamasu Arc, now Goku Black just used Goku's powers, but it was really, really interesting to see Goku's own powers and moves being used against him, but mainly powers like the Fused Zamasu thing with Blades of Judgement, and Divine Lightning, and the smoke clones, and the Ki blade and ki scythe, and the smoke bird thing, those were just cool to see. 5. I ABSOLUTELY *LOVED* the ending of the Goku Black Arc, because Zamasu actually won, and I don't care what anyone says about, "Oh they redid that with sending Future Trunks and Future Mai back to an earlier time in their timeline, with getting rid of Zamasu before anything happens," I don't care about that, I mean I hated that, but I was ok with Zamasu killing everyone, because at the end Zamasu got rid of all of the mortals on the planet apart from the main cast, so Zamasu basically got what he wanted, and that was good because it was new and unexpected where the villain actually won apart from the old "The hero always wins" BS, because for the Tournament of Power we all already knew that Universe 7 was already going to win so it kind of takes away from the stakes and surprises, but with Zamasu he succeeded. Now yes, Zamasu did lose overall, but he did get what he wanted, because it was like, "He won the battle, but he lost the war." Kind of a thing. I liked that. 6. The Goku Black/Zamasu Arc had actual stakes, because everyone who died could not be brought back since the Dragon Balls in Trunk's timeline were gone, so those were some actual real deaths in Dragon Ball and that gave the Zamasu/Goku Black Arc actual stakes and actual consequences. If you can't take anything else away from the Zamasu/Goku Black Arc take this away from it. These are the reasons why I love the Goku Black/Zamasu are over the Tournament of Power are to an extent.

[@leultrainstinct406]

agree but the tournament of power definitely has stakes because even tho universe 7 would survive, we had no idea how and what would happen to all the other universes involved. it had the entire internet on a chokehold for months because of all the tension.

[@daymianhogue1634]

Can't agree more on basically everything said in here... And to add on to like the whole crap show of Trunks going away to another timeline again? It threw away some of the best moments of the arc in the anime... Like Future Trunks' conversation with Kid Trunks and, his distrust of meeting 18. Imagine him on the TOP team when Goku recruits Freeza and 17? How paranoid he could get especially if Trunks made it towards the end. Could have been such great character development. Like 18 was arguably the less evil of the twin androids, and everyone was stronger than her, so it'd be understandable for trunks to accept her a bit more... But then when they find 17 and he's nearly as strong as Goku? And Freeza is as strong as Goku... And it's just the 4 of them vs Jiren. Just imagine his paranoia. And him seeing Gohan get back into fighting shape and such. And like Trunks' response when the ToP is made a thing, and he'd also probably get a bit of blame for it too given he was a time traveler that brought the 2nd Zeno around

[@joshuahackshaw7703]

That’s actually a good idea

[@rudysmith1552]

The tournament of power felt like it took the best of all eras of dragon ball and ran with it share. It doesn’t equal the cell saga but damn, the payoffs were great ultra instinct was great and making every character relevant was amazing.

[@joshuahackshaw7703]

Yeah

[@SleepingTroubles]

Jiren is a boring idea but executed well enough which helped him. That is props to the animation team that made him look cool despite the script they were given. I mean the base Toriyama script for him, not the storyboard. The lack of further development him in the next arcs hurt the whole thing more because it left it just the way it were. Jiren needed a tv special like future trunks and Bardock got.

[@monfe5532]

I kinda liked the fact that jiren wasn't really helping in the ToP. It shows what a bad teammate he actually is, despite being a member of the pride troopers. The whole point of the pride troopers is fighting evil as a team, but jiren just doesn't get the importance of trust and teamwork. He only steps in when he decides something is worth his time, and he only fights alone. His lack of trust was his biggest weakness, and it ultimately led to his defeat.

Goku Black arc was really strong, let down by an absolute abortion of an ending. Tournament of Power's drawback was awkward pacing that really dragged out some parts.

Best character. Best character in town.

Goku Black Arc started of strong and Goku Black made for an interesting villain, but it's poor ending makes it a bit hard to go back, among other stuff. Overall, the Manga's ending was way better. While the TOP Arc had some of the best fights, I also thought the concept of Goku using UI was good but its poor pacing make it a drag to get through and Jiren didn't make for an engaging antagonist overall. The manga, while it still has its own pacing issues, at least had Jiren's personality fleshed out more. My Results: Goku Black (Manga) TOP (Anime)

[@j04370859]

The Goku Black manga ending was worse, besides the spirit sword. Zamasu became part of the universe, so Zeno, erasing it, felt more justifiable and made more sense, rather than it being because of Zamasu clones. Plus, Trunk's goodbye was more emotional.

Both sagas were fanservice that have TRIED to be serious. The Goku Black/Zamasu arc had the fanservice of Future Trunks returning, an "Evil Goku", Super Saiyan Rose, a first ever evil Kai, Goku & Vegeta going to Future Trunks' timeline for the first time in their lives, a first time ever fusion villain & Vegito returning. But it was all to demonstrate the omnipotent power of Zeno who had to be summoned to erase the timeline to get rid of Zamasu. But it was only a loss for Future Trunks. Goku & Vegeta still had their timeline full of luxury of Dragon Balls & the full Dragon Team still alive. Future Trunks had to go to a new timeline to live in but Goku's & Vegeta's old lives continued on as usual. The Goku Black/Zamasu arc showed how luxurious the present timeline was compared to the future timeline in the very beginning. In the present when Goku & Vegeta finished their training with Whis & Beerus, they were eating bowls of ramen noodles with corn, meat & butter & they were chilling & talking about how omnipotent Zeno is. But in the Future timeline, Future Trunks & Future Mai were weakened, tired out, hiding & eating dog food & cat food. That is how bad the future was.

I will say, Kefla vs Gohan is way better than Kefla vs Goku because it does a great job of showing how strong Gohan is. In the anime, he needed Frieza's help to take out Dyspo and ONLY Dyspo. But in the manga, Gohan essentially takes out Caulifla AND Kale. They've always talked about how smart and strong Gohan is, and this showed this off way better. And even though Danny said it came out of nowhere, Gohan took on Blue Goku and did a lot better than most of the other fighters did against Blue Goku in the TOP. I dunno, I just enjoyed Gohan getting to flex a bit and prove that he's one of the strongest fighters in Universe 7.

[@PhoenixKing567]

All gohan did was block a punch and land one hit and then got one shotted when he told goku to go all out tho lol that's not doing any better than anyone else

[@FoxxyFire-HellFrost]

@@PhoenixKing567 In the manga? No.

[@PhoenixKing567]

@FoxFighter-HellBringer oh don't remember them fighting in the manga

[@FoxxyFire-HellFrost]

@@PhoenixKing567 In the manga, Gohan and Kefla fight and come to a draw after beating the crap out of each other. In the anime, Gohan needs Frieza's help to cage in Dyspo to limit his movements so he can come to a draw. I thought the fight with Kefla was a bigger flex since Kale alone was eliminating swaths of fighters from the ring. Once she fused to Caulifla, she gained control of her power and tried to eliminate Jiren and Goku but Gohan swatted away one of her energy attacks and declared that he'd take her on. It's a way better showing for Gohan than just Dyspo.

[@PhoenixKing567]

@FoxFighter-HellBringer wait I was talking about goku blue vs gohan before the tournament. But anyway I mean yeah guess that was cool but dyspo was so fast that of course he needed freiza helped to cage him in cause that showed that gohan can take him on too but I get your point

[@KaiserMattTygore927]

Anime: ToP Manga: Everything but the ToP The Anime's ToP would've been second had the Goku Black Arc stuck the landing (either a complete dark messed up ending that lasts and has consequences that go on to future arcs, or a hopeful good ending that also has consequences that go on to future arcs) The ToP had some lame moments here and there, but was a lot more consistent in quality compared to the wild quality shift from the bulk of the Goku Black arc The Manga: It's tournament of power is actually embarassing and Toyo should actually be ashamed of rushing through that. I don't know what was in the water in that era for media, but everyone and their dog was rushing through important stories to get to something else back then.

I've been trying to re watch the Goku black arc. There was some inconsistency with how time travel rules.

[@joshuahackshaw7703]

Like what for example if you don’t mind me asking

[@ronward6519]

I think which one is better is easy. It has to be the tournament of power. Here's the thing, though. The tournament of power was an almost perfect execution of the story they wanted to tell. It had a lot of potential and lived up to almost all of it. I can only complain about small things like Roshi getting so powerful for fan service. Goku black is a different story. I think that arc had to potential to be the best in all of dragonball, in my opinion. The problem is it lived up to a much lesser percentage of it's overall potential. It's been too long since I've seen this to accurately criticize it. I just know I felt like there was way too much back and forth in time travel and just a lot of stuff they could've taken out and replaced with other stuff. I think it will be a long time before they come out with an arc that had more potential than the goku black arc. They may never do it. It will always be the "what could've been" arc to me.

Trunks should have received SSJ4 instead of the rage transformation and Trunks should have been allowed to stay in the past, and be able to train with Gohan, Goten, and Kid Trunks instead of the ending he got, and finally be a permanent member of the Z team.

[@KaiserMattTygore927]

I mostly agree with your points, but there's no real narrative reason for him to get SSJ4, it'd be almost as much of an asspull as Rage, SSJ3? I could see him potentially getting.

[@joshuahackshaw7703]

Yeah that’s true for the most part except for ssj4

[@joshuahackshaw7703]

@@KaiserMattTygore927yeah perhaps ssj3 would have been a little better

[@Stephanie-kh6nx]

@@KaiserMattTygore927 It is Rage base already plus it would be complete opposite of the God forms. Which would be aligned with his nature of being the opposite of Zamasu with his storyline arc. Plus, he did earn this new transformation considerably with how many battles and how much he has gone through. He has no dragonballs and hardly any support. Plus, no point in him having SSJ3 because his SSj2 already equally matched Goku's SSJ3.

The tournament of power was one of the best DRAGON BALL sagas, let alone DBS sagas. It was fucking beautiful in so many ways, ESPECIALLY in the anime.

Goku black was the more unique arc with the cooler concepts. But I don’t think it was executed as well as the tournament of power, and I think the action in the tournament was incredibly done.

I could pick out alot I like and I dislike about the super animie so far, but ultimately I am just going to stick with one and that is just how the animie in the top handled roshi.

I hope people will undersrand this someday, but Gohan should not have "lost" his mystic form or even re-awaken or whatever y'all said. That form became his new base, that's why he's so much stronger, as strong as SS3 Gotenks. Gahhh, this world I live in, lol.

Is that actually true

[@sirmel11]

I think the new saiyans gaining forms fast isn't an issue. They need forms and the story can't pause completely for them to learn.

goku black arc was amazing

[@DawnSolar]

For super saiyan i stopped being seirous about it when i saw goten and trunks do it. Not even because they were angry. But just because. Literally just cause. No explanation. Not even a good reason. So from then on i knew its not something to take seriously at all

[@Cedricfilms]

Goku Black is simply iconic. Hes my favorite villian of all of dragon ball. Both arcs fire tho

[@baldpolnareff7224]

The future Trunks arc was too much about Goku and Vegeta. Not that I didn't love seeing Vegeta winning his rematch with Black or Vegetto going super saiyan blue, but it would've made more sense if the arc involved more Trunks and Gohan. The TOP was fun in the anime because we got the excitement of a new episode every week, it had some great moments, but the plot was pretty much linear and predictable almost all the time. I didn't like how Gohan did not shine as a leader at all, I hated how Piccolo was eliminated and I didn't even like how Tien was eliminated. And I hate the saiyans from Universe 6. Also Hit could've done better, but I guess it makes sense to make him look weak compared to Jiren

[@joshuahackshaw7703]

That’s understandable

[@maximillianoorosco-randhaw9336]

In the Anime, my vote goes to T.O.P. easily. I feel the art and animation is an edge up, even it got rocky from time to time. The while the pacing was very long, I feel that story was still better than the Goku Black arc as the T.O.P. had the Universe 7 team win using team work and cooperation rather then the protagonist scapegoat their way out of the erasure using the Future Omni King in the end. While I feel the execution of Jiren's backstory could have been better and feel less forced at the last minute, I think Jiren's motivation for his pursuit of strength is better than Zamasu's motivation to commit multiversal genocide because of his skewed and shortsighted views on mortals(in my opinion), with one of the last straws being that he lost a sparring match against Goku. I also think that the T.O.P. had better moments too.

Tournament of Power easily the best of Super for me. It was the most fun. The convoluted plot of Goku Black almost made me quit watching the show all together. Only liked the Vegito fight that they then abruptly ruined. Also ruined Trunks' story for me. Universe 6 arc for all its flaws was still better than Goku Black.
