I mean, it's not like time travel is a new concept in Dragon Ball.

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHABHAHAHAHAHA
IS ANYONE SURPRISED?!?!?!?

 

[ShinRPGamer]

And here is where all conflict in Super dies unless they make it so that Whis can't pull the reset button.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

WHIS' THIRD BOMB, BITES ZA BULLSHIT!

 

[Dr. Chaotix]

I laughed at it earlier but it is a little fucked up that Goten and Trunks have died twice in their lives already as kids.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Man, this shit got hella dark.

 

[Shard]

Nothing matters.

 

[RandomExpletive]

DIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[Doctor Decimate]

at the very least it does some stuff for Goku's character and it's totally consistent with what Frieza would do but this is still a load of shit

 

[BatDan]

BITES ZA.....er.....Whis ex machina.

I mean, it's not like there was any tension to begin with given the Dragon Balls

 

[Zonic]

but

didn't future trunks prove that in this series, the multi-verse exists?

meaning that the characters right now would still exist in an universe where the earth is destroyed?

They do.

They address this later, but

Spoiler

Whis's time travel is better than the time machine, and doesn't split timelines.

 

[Morlas]

I think Whis' ability is better used in the series instead of saying it outright earlier they hint at it.

 

[Xe4]

Has Dragon Ball ever had any consequences ever?

 

[Man God]

Remember Granny Erina and Lisa Lisa riding the coffin back? Neither does Jim Jam's writer!

 

[aspiegamer]

The was the most casual destruction of earth I think I've ever seen. He triggers it-- Had you not known from the original Freeza arc that he could do this you'd have no idea what was going on-- And it just -happens- in a few seconds.

 

[Ponn]

I am so ready to walk like an egyptian

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

There's a reason no one likes ROF.

 

[friskykillface]

What happened to 5 minutes
They always need 5 minutes to blow a planet up

Whis's thing is different

 

[TheOGB]

Tien forgot about Launch.

Everyne forgot about Launch

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Thats kakyoin voice, i dont know if i like it.

 

[Htown]

fuckin hate this show

I think the idea is supposed to be that he's literally rewinding the universe or something, instead of going back to another timeline

 

[JadedWriter]

Does he come in purple?

 

[Dr. Chaotix]

For some reason the image of Master Roshi, standing on a rock in outer space, with his hands behind his back, overlooking the Earth having just blown up, while triumphant music plays is very relaxing...

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

fuckin hate this show

That's pretty much exactly how he explains it later on except replace universe with time.

 

[Zonic]

So we now have 3 deus ex machinas:

- One that insta-heals anyone
- One that can bring things to the status quo
- One that can just reverse time

Why should I feel anything when it comes to "stakes"?

 

[Hellwarden]

That's a really weird commercial...

"This guy just ate a larva, haha, right?"

 

[Morlas]

This part of the show is rushed and it shows it gets a bit better in the next arc and improves more in the one after, and even more so recently

 

[blitzwolf215]

This movie/arc not giving Vegeta the kill here is the WORST part of this. So dumb/bad >_<



LOL

Agreed, pissed me off so much, should have been Vegeta's moment.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

What happened to 5 minutes

He got strong enough to speed up the time it takes to destroy a planet.

Or more simply, they forgot.

 

[ckohler]

I

Spoiler

don't

WANT A DO-OVER'

 

[Doctor Decimate]

i don't have much of a problem with deus ex machina here because let's be honest DBZ is full of this kind of bullshit

it's more that this is HUGELY less satisfying than the alternative of just...giving Vegeta his character moment?

 

[B-Dubs]

The show starts going to extremes to give the arcs some kind of tension after this.

 

[BatDan]

"can't use it for a while" There, there's your nerf.

 

[Raxus]

Does he come in purple?

Oh....oh that is evil. LOL

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Don't blow it.

REWIND!

That was a long 3 minutes.

 

[Shard]

Oh look, they are trying to have things matters, that is cute.

 

[Zonic]

- get the dragon balls
- wish that whis could use his time reverse power any time that he wants
- i just broke whis

 

[Hellwarden]

Once more, with feeling.

 

[Xe4]

I would've actually given Dragon Ball props if it killed everyone. Like, that would've taken guts and been really cool and dark.

But not even a minute later it undid all of that feel bad montage made. Fucking pointless.

I guess what I'm saying is:
fuck this show.

 

[Man God]

Grab freezer, instant Transmission him as far away as possible.

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

No one wants to see ROF plot again with worse animation.

Toei should have gave Super the proper production time from the start.

 

[Moaradin]

- get the dragon balls
- wish that whis could use his time reverse power any time that he wants

Doesn't work like that.

 

[8 X 11 Printer Paper]

Goku....just instant teleport...

Who watches Dragon Ball for serious plotlines? I come here for dumb ass fights and screaming.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Even when Vegeta wins, he loses.
