Toriyama has went on note to say he doesn't really go back to look at what he wrote before. Hell, it's the reason why Launch was forgotten for so long, he writes chapter from chapter. Even forgetting things that happened a few chapters ago.

(Which is why Cell's regeneration makes more sense in the English version then the original.)

Bad trait, but when year gap start to happen things like this and Dragon Ball Minus are made.

Okay, I'll allow it.

Also Sadatsuka Nao (White) is the biggest downgrade since the GBA version of Sonic 1.

Boy, I sure can't wait for the next discussion when people start shitting on specific Soma girls.

Especially after said Shitty girl just stood up for said Boring girl when the Head Chef was scaring her and trying to squash her insightful input.

And one of the focuses of this recent arc is for said Irrelevant girl to gain enough confidence to go back to said Shitty girl, whom actually treats her like a real friend.

Never mind that if all three were to casually interact they would probably get along fine without a need to sling insults at each other and and get into cat fights about who is better than who.

Something barely any fans of any specific girls can ever seem to do.

Actually I like all the girls in Soma, it's just a specific one I don't like.

Is Lasboss x Hero pretty good? The editing seems REALLY shaky in the first chapter, so I only want to suffer through it if it's worth it.

Would say average.

First few chapters are a real drag.

And it does get sorta interesting when the MC has a realization.

But its not something I would recommend someone unless they have time to waste.

I don't know why but this reminds me of a Shonen version of Shamo. The MC is like a edgy version of Ganta from Deadman Wonderland. Though he's the type that doesn't give a fuck whether he cheats or not in a fight. This series is a much better version of Judos that deals with all types of fighting rather than just judo.

Pretty good.

Oh hey, poll results.

Well, it could've been worse. Chitoge could've been first or something.

It's been interesting to finally learn what the side characters are fully capable of, since it feels like they've just been coasting in the background until now. Up next, Alice's dish. Her buffet breakfast was inspired (bias aside) so I'm hoping for a small scale massacre here.

Hitomi chapter, so you know it's great.
In this chapter, Hitomi learn how to speak the "real" American English. Samuel L Jackson will be proud.

Decided to clear up some mangas in my backlog and I got to this one. Nice art, and nice humor. While I don't care for the fights much, I give props for the author going risque with some stuff.

Highest score from both groups? Yeah, I'll take that, even with Tadokoro stealing her thunder shortly afterwards. Anyway, aside from the mystery giant who showed up at the end the qualifiers were pretty much as expected. Good place to stop for the day.

You wouldn't think so with all the money he got from the games, movies and Dragon Ball Kai.

At any rate, this is gonna be absolute trash, but hopefully it will at least be fun trash. I guess there's no chance that anyone else but Goku gets some time in the spotlight seeing how he made everyone useless compared to him.

Movie information spoiler i guess?:

Vegeta training with Beerus too? The movie could be the revenge of Vegeta against Freezer that he deserves... at least i hope so because that would be completely awesome.

I enjoyed it too, lol.

Also, that random DBZ reference cracked me up. What are the odds on the timing of that one.

I'm so mad that I put off buying Lucky Star volume 8 back in the day, even though I knew that Bandai was pulling out of bringing manga.

The whole series is really expensive now, and I'm only missing volume 8. This is bugging me.

This is the most impressive serialization round I've ever seen. Why couldn't one of these series have been paired with Sporting Salt, HiFi Cluster, E Robot, Butterfly on the Table, or HiFi Cluster?

I'm assuming Jump is trying to fill the Naruto hole so they went full on action/shonen this time. Without a doubt at least two will survive the first axe, I'm guessing Black Clover and Kagami since both feel the safest and the most up Jump's ally.

Yeah Ultra Battle Satellite was enjoyable, but I still prefer Cyborg Roggy out of all the Jump Start series. God is Roggy such a loveable bastard, the second chapter was pretty great. Now I really hope it stays.

I'm betting on Cyborg Roggy because man is it good, plus the art is great. The series doesn't deserve to be axed, the MC reminds me of Gintoki and he's one of my favorite MCs in Jump.

Seriously if this gets axed but Black Clover doesn't I'll be severly dissapointed.

Its not gonna end well for me is it.

Well... that was kinda dumb. Best part of it was seeing Pilaf and his gang again, even if this wasn't drawn by Toriyama.


Man, that translation for that lol. That scanlation team always goes crazy with swear words.
Click to expand...

Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous. Even if they're trying to be faithful to the original text (which I seriously doubt) they completely missed the spirit of that original scene. A simple "YOU FOOL" would have sufficed.

I simply don't see the point of this new mini-series, even if it's for hyping up the upcoming movie or whatever, and yes, I don't actually believe that Toriyama's running out of cash, considering that he's considered to be the richest mangaka around.

This translation, did these guys actually read Dragonball? Because I don't think I ever imagined Goku (or anyone else) was capable of cursing this much.

But really, this is super stupid. The last movie was really fun so I'm hoping this one matches it but really, if Freeza trained for four months he would pass Buu's level? This is just taking the piss out of power levels now.

Cash should be the least of his concerns.

Toriyama don't know any better is what I'm rolling with.

My point still stands. you REALLY expected better from one who isn't that far off from Kubo? On one who relies more on fanservice than telling a decent story?
