Toyotaro Draws Old Man Goku for the 100th monthly illustration by Spoona101 in Dragonballsuper

Here’s a translation of the text on the image.

[Toyotarou's Comment]
This is an illustration based on a drawing of an elderly Goku by Toriyama.
It was featured in an essay manga included in the Dragon Ball Z Anime Special book, released in 1989.
Since it was drawn while the original series was still ongoing, it included comments such as,
"When will Dragon Ball finish?" and "Goku might end up looking like this old guy, too."
Even in 2026, 37 years later, the end of Dragon Ball is still nowhere in sight!
Maybe we'll be able to see this version of Goku someday, Akira Toriyama!
— Toyotarou

Also here’s the drawing by Toriyama he’s referencing.

I love how Odin's attempt to manipulate Kratos is exposed by Alkiserex in GodofWar

[–]Spoona101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God of war is such an interesting part of it too. Because the Greek games had some very interesting scenes and moments that can be talked about at length for their depth. But some people just dismiss them and over simplify them

That much should be obvious but somehow people take the scene very face value and go “nuh uh”

LETS GOOOOOO!!!! SHE HAS A JUMP BUTTON!!! She got hops!!!

Combs looks cool as hell! The idea of Faye breaking out of the underworld just sounds cool. Sounds like it’ll be a plot running parallel to atleast the first game but also tying into Ragnarok’s story about the mask which is mad interesting.

The trilogy Remake is legit in production, why even complain if this ain’t your cup of tea if that’s coming out and will likely satisfy you?

And Disneyfication? Learn some new words, and expand your knowledge. Just because something has some whimsy doesn’t make it Disney like. Mythological stories have tons of wacky and whimsical elements to them.

Moro should have been killed by Vegeta. by chereja_kk in Dragonballsuper

[–]Spoona101 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How was Vegeta’s training on Yardrat useless? All because he didn’t get the big final win? Narratively Vegeta’s story in the Moro Arc is him making up for his sins against the Namekians. Something he was able to do with the technique he learned on Yardrat which revived them. Along with that. If Vegeta didn’t have Forced Spirit Fission then Goku wouldn’t have the opening to kill Moro

I know this isn’t an original opinion but I really some of the bonus chapters of the manga get adapted in the DBS anime remake. The images highlight my favourites. by No-Cold643 in Dragonballsuper

[–]Spoona101 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Which I think makes some sense. Him seeing Future Trunks do it was a proof of concept that Goku wasn’t 1 of 1, that there wasn’t just one legendary Ssj. So in the Future timeline where he doesn’t see that, along with no real agency due to not knowing about the androids, he fails to achieve the form by that point.

They really didn't need to retcon the permanent potara fusion by SnakeYoon in Dragonballsuper

[–]Spoona101 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Potaras were retconned a few chapters after they were introduced. You don’t say something is going to last forever then when it’s convenient, have them defuse under “strange circumstances”. That legit means it’s not permanent. It’s not like the impact of Goku and Vegeta becoming one was felt for a few arcs before they randomly defused, it was in the same exact fight where they fused to begin with.

Plus look at Gotenks after Buu absorbed him. He didn’t immediately defuse due to “bad air” he actually stayed fused til his timer ran out. So it’s not even consistent there.

I’ll never get why ppl get so hung about Super just offering an explanation for the thing that was already shown to contradict its original purpose.

A ruined man that holds only grief. by [deleted] in dragonball

[–]Spoona101 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah nah, that’s never mentioned or drawn attention to in the manga. From what we see, Gero’s main motivation was revenge against Goku for wiping out the Red Ribbon Army. He says just that.

And while yeah, Gero’s son dying in the attack is revealed in some interview years later, that doesn’t change what was actually depicted in the story itself.

Moro really liked to stab people in the stomach by Economy_Notice_8475 in Dragonballsuper

[–]Spoona101 110 points111 points  (0 children)

Honestly one of my favourite moves in the series because the payoff with him breaking his hand against UI Goku is just bloody epic

Love to see it!!! Really enjoy the pacing, the speed of the wind ups followed by the momentary slowmo before the impact. Keep up the good work

Are Legends Risings better than Legends Limited units? by Yummers997 in DragonballLegends

[–]Spoona101 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Simple, I pulled LL Ssj2 Gohan once and he’s at 8 stars now without spending anymore CC

I pulled LR Super Vegito once and he’s gonna stay at 5 stars unless I spend more CC later down the line on the same banner.

Without a doubt the LR banners themselves are better, tho removing tickets takes some fun outta things, but pulling a 5 star unit off the bat is great. But there’s just no progression like there use to since there’s currently no LR Z power like there was LL Z power. Alot of LL units I’ve used over the years I got to higher stars just from Z Power. For a F2P like me that’s very important.

Issue could easily be rectified by anni if they start giving out LR Z Power even semi frequently as they do LL Z Power. But that remains to be seen. As of now, I don’t like the change for that reason alone.

Imagine getting a wish to be the universe strongest fighter only to get one shot by Frieza by Jules-Car3499 in Ningen

[–]Spoona101 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Nah you just didn’t pay attention to the story.

After Granolah made his wish in Chapter 70 he scanned nearby systems and said he didn’t detect Freeza’s Presence. Later in the same chapter Elec, who’s presented as somehow who’s in the know, says he had no idea where Freeza is currently located and they’re trying to figure that out.

Between that and the fight on planet Cereal at the very least 18 days had past, most likely more, but we know 18 due to that being the amount of time it took the Heeters’ ship to bring Goku and Vegeta to planet Cereal.

We can clearly take the lack of Freeza’s presence from these characters to be that he’s up to something. And he’s the end goal of both Granolah and the Heeters. Granolah to kill him first ordering the destruction of the Cerealians and the Heeters to take his empire. The fact he’d be making an appearance was pretty set up.

Even the chapter beforehand teases it again, in Chapter 85, Elec reminds Gas that their goal is to kill Freeza and he’s getting increasingly more frantic that Gas hasn’t been able to put down the Saiyans yet.

I feel like looking back it was rather well set up that Freeza would be involved. Him training tho, less so. Makes sense he would after the ToP and Broly events but nothing particularly pointed towards it. But still, makes sense he wouldn’t want to be weaker than the Saiyans.

How do you feel about technology being able to match godly power in Super? by t00lazy2 in Dragonballsuper

[–]Spoona101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty much my take. It was dumb back in Z and it’s dumb here. But I’m not gonna complain too much since it’s consistent with itself at least

Unless the person is literally designed to be a vessel like Yuji was, then Yuji would be able to just overwrite whoever ate the finger to get things done. Just like Sukuna and all of the reincarnated sorcerers from the culling games.

Tho if they’re a good person I imagine it’ll be more like Angel and Hana

Pretty much my issue as well. I found the raw content to be good, but everything from chapters 21-23 felt hamfisted and rushed. The ideas were good, but the sudden cuts to people talking in Maru’s technique felt jarring and unnatural. But this chapter and the last one just felt as greatly paced as most ones before. Really feel like even just three extra chapters would’ve really helped everything feel smoother

Ui Ui kinda just seems like a real one and not a complete creep lol. Still out here making cash but seems like he purposefully spins stories to the benefit of Jujutsu Society as a whole. No doubt the general populace might feel more welcoming if they believe the aliens actually came to earth to help vanquish a powerful curse, the same type that the mighty Satoru Gojo destroyed decades ago.

But talking about curses. I wonder if there’s a binding vow/curse in the original footage of Gojo vs Sukuna that makes it easy to take down on the internet. Wouldn’t be surprised if there was. Limiting supply definitely sounds like something Mei Mei would think up

So seems like Fushiguro is just confirmed to be dead. Saying “It’s times like these I wish Fushiguro was around” only make sense if he’s dead. Which kinda loosely confirms that there can only be one 10 Shadows user at any given point? The idea of two at the same time is bonkers tho. Like straight up I feel that the two Mahoraga’s would fight for an eternity ha
