EP. REVIEW: Dragon Ball Super

Zamasu/Black ended up being a really well-written villain, too. I appreciate that Toei's doing the franchise proud with the characters, at least, if not always the art.

Content above me

Except vegeto was kicking his ass, unfortunately he just ran out of time/energy. The while issue with power levels isn't exactly special to super, it pretty much fluctuates at wild rates all the time throughout the entire series. Calm the heck down

This minute alone by Naotoshi Shida was better than almost everything in the Vegetto's original DBZ arc which consisted mostly of still shots, a lot off-model, and extreme overstretching of a fight that lasted two chapters in the manga.

He should absolytely destroy Zamasu, he should appear so powerful that the community would debate wether he is stronger than Whiz and Beerus.

Like, with the fight this way, it made absolutely no sense at all for [expletive] Trunks to defeat him.

If Zamasu had been absolutely destroyed by Vegito beforehand, and then had a final clash with a desperate Trunks where he realizes JOJO-style that Vegito has weakened him more than he thought which leads to Trumps cutting him in half.
AT LEAST THAT WOULD HAVE MADE SENSE AND BEEN [expletive] COOL.

Which is why the manga version of that fight was so awful.

I'm okay with it considering Vegetto's whole purpose was hold its own for long enough to get trapped by Buu and save everyone, not defeat Buu (which we don't know if he could do that since Universal Genkidama just outrules everything else in terms of destroy power).

Vegetto was moping the floor with Buu, so it's incredibly likely he could've outright killed Buu, doing so would've killed Gohan, Piccolo, & Gotenks in the process which was the whole reason he let himself get absorbed in the first place......and was ultimately rendered moot by Buu destroying the earth and killing those four anyway, but still.

But in any case, that last part is basically what happens every time in the Buu arc: nothing works, every transformation, fusion and power-up is basically fodder for making Buu transform...except Hercule/Satan, his part was the best, and Majin Vegeta's role was great because the character moment was great too. That was my biggest takeaway in enjoyment from the arc, despite having some cool ideas such as Vegetto, it always goes back eventually to just use whatever worked before and rendering most efforts and time useless.

I get the idea here, the poetic justice behind Trunks getting the final attack, but there's a reason why a similar thing didn't happen during the Android and Cell arcs back in DBZ. It's just too obvious, too neat and tidy for a sprawling shonen action show.

Hate how they treated Vegito, you can't just bring out Vegito and have him appear weak. He is supposed to be the very manifestation of power, He should absolytely destroy Zamasu, he should appear so powerful that the community would debate wether he is stronger than Whiz and Beerus.
