Is Db Super Manga Different From The Anime

Hi,

The purpose of this thread is non to belittle or bash the anime or the manga. Rather, information technology is to organize all the facts and interviews with regards to production, Toriyama'due south involvement, and talk over primal differences in plot between the manga and anime. Everyone has discussed the topic of what is considered "canon" in DB Super. In the past, it was easy to define as the manga was always canon since it is the original piece of work from the mangaka (the author). DB and DBZ manga were canon while the anime included fillers. Withal, this has inverse with DB Super anime ahead of the manga. Now, the DB community has practically been divided between anime and manga. Now, again, the manga is ahead of the anime.

To do this, I'thousand going to go through some interviews in which Toriyama was involved in.

Let's kickoff with the starting time interview, conducted on April 4th, 2016:

Point 1: Hither, Toriyama confirms that every chapter that Toyotaro puts together has its storyboard reviewed by Toriyama himself.

Point two: In addition, when the interviewer states that the animators may employ Toyotaro's manga as reference, Toriyama responds, "Oh, that's expert! That should continue them on track!". This is an interesting answer every bit it could imply that Toyotaro is already on track and that following him would keep the animators on track.

Point 3: Toriyama himself states here that when he supervises the anime, in that location'south e'er something that "bugs" him that he will enquire to have fixed. All the same, when he reviews Toyotaro'south storyboards, he can take it easy. Additionally he says that Toyotaro's art mode is the closest to matching his fifty-fifty including the animators!

Spoiler:

Point 4: Here, Toriyama is asked if he has whatsoever communication for Toyotaro. He responds saying that he's perfectly fine with the style things are going. Then when pushed further, Toriyama can only think of using more than diverse angles for different scenes.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next, is the second interview, conducted on October. 26th, 2016:
https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interv ... ou/.107579

Spoiler:

Betoken 1: Since Dragon Ball Super has ended, fans have been on withdrawal and wondering when the next series will commencement. We all know that the pic is coming this year in December 14th, only a new anime serial has non notwithstanding been confirmed. One of the reasons postulated for the DB Super Anime ending was so that the production team could focus on animating the movie. However, what if there is also some other good reason? Here, Toyotaro himself states that while his manga is behind the anime, in the future, it will be ahead. Equally the DB Super manga is continuing and will end the events of the Tournament of Power, the adjacent series may follow after the manga as information technology ever did for DB and DBZ. How volition this change the anime? Is it a good thing or a bad thing? I definitely recollect that it is a good matter, simply you decide. Fast frontwards to now, the manga IS ahead of the anime as it is starting a manga exclusive arc called the Galactic Prisoner arc with the help of Toriyama.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Side by side, is the third interview, conducted on Dec. 2d, 2016: http://www.kanzenshuu.com/translations/ ... alk-vol-two/

Spoiler:

Point one: In this interview, Toyotaro explains the product process which a lot of united states of america know by now. We see Toyotaro's original draft that was sent to Toriyama equally example – the planet on which the U6 tournament took place. Then we come across that Toriyama completely redraws information technology and then that the planet is bigger than the Super Dragon Balls. Then Toyotaro incorporates these changes into the final production.

Spoiler:

1st Major Departure - Super Saiyan God:
Bespeak 2: Super Saiyan God was first new unique we see in the debut of DBS. Information technology was supposedly a transformation that eclipsed all of Goku'southward previous transformations and even fusion in society to take a chance to fight Beerus. Yet, in the anime, the scene in which Enraged SSJ2 Vegeta fights Beerus, Beerus states that he used i/10th of his strength. One does not need to exist a hardcore powerscaler to realize that this is casuistic.

Spoiler:

Furthermore, after the advent of the SSG, it was thought that Goku had absorbed the ability into his base form. All the same, in the manga, Goku used SSG confronting Striking. At that fourth dimension, it was thought that the manga must have mistake. Nevertheless, 3 story arcs afterward in the anime, we see Goku utilize SSG suddenly in the Tournament of Power against Dyspo in the anime with no explanation of why Goku never used it before against Hit or Zamasu for that affair. The transformation simply appeared out of nowhere. In fact, the rationale in the anime was the same as the manga - to conserve energy and stamina. Similarly, SSG Vegeta made his debut in the manga against Black in their rematch. From the interview above, it is clear that Toriyama supervised SSG Vegeta in the manga. Now, SSG Vegeta has made an appearance for the first time always in animated form in the Dragon Brawl Super Broly Motion-picture show.

Even in the anime, during the Tournament of Ability, Whis says the aforementioned affair he stated in the manga prior in the U6 arc - that using SSG before SSB conserves stamina and allows the user to apply the full power of SSB in short bursts.

When we get-go learned of the Super Saiyan God (SSG), we thought it was a temporary transformation that Goku could not access anymore and that he had absorbed the powers of the SSG into his body. This was even confirmed by Toriyama himself in another interview conducted on fourth October, 2013 for the Battle of the Gods moving picture:

Furthermore, in the RoF spin-off manga also by Toyotaro, there is a panel shown where Base of operations Goku punches Whis and a SSG Goku is shown in the background, implying that this Base of operations Goku indeed has god ki. It seems at this point, the manga was still congruent with the moving picture and anime. A possible rationalization could be that Goku did in fact blot the power of SSG into his body, but he could only utilise fractions of god ki during the BoG film as a SSJ in space vs Beerus. In improver, a base that uses a fraction of god ki could exist used. This what formed the "two base theory". However, in the manga, the scene where SSJ Goku is fighting Beerus in space never happens. The fight ends when Goku comes out of the SSG in the manga.

Spoiler:

Therefore, we subsequently saw SSB in the anime and didn't see SSG again for two complete story arcs. That is, Base Goku was shown to be fighting Freeza in RoF and this was thought to be a new Base with god ki. And so during the U6 tournament, Goku did not use SSG at all. Instead, he used Kaioken on elevation of SSB against Striking. In the manga however, Goku used SSG against Hitting, much to everyone's surprise. Of a sudden SSG resurfaced but nosotros thought that this form was captivated and Toriyama himself stated that we would not see it again right? The logic used in the manga of using SSG beginning is that it immune Goku to conserve his stamina before using the full power of SSB. In fact, this was the pivotal signal in the story where the manga and anime really diverged.

We too didn't see SSG at all during the Zamasu arc of the anime. We all know that Vegeta got slaughtered past Black in their commencement fight, both in the anime and manga. In the rematch, Vegeta trained in the Room of Spirit and Time. All the same, instead of just getting stronger like he did in the anime; in the manga, he utilized a dissimilar strategy. Here, Vegeta discovered that switching from SSG to SSB allows him to release the full ability of SSB in short bursts without losing stamina. He learned this from watching Goku fight Hit when Goku used SSG. Goku himself explains this when Trunks is confused how Vegeta, using a lower form, is able to beat out Black.

2d Major Departure – Hit'south Time Abilities:
Furthermore, Striking putting his hands in his pockets was antiseptic in the manga to not only be for fashion and showing off, but that his hands twitch just before the Time Skip. This is the existent reason how Goku was able to predict Hit's movements and trounce him! In the anime, this was not explained until the Tournament of Power when Dyspo could hear the twitches of Hit's body before the Time Skip. Same concept but why this late? Hence, it seems that the anime is incorporating things from the manga in later episodes but then this also makes the anime seem like it's communicable up to the manga. Since, in the first fight between Goku vs Hit in the anime, none of this was ever mentioned at all. Instead, in the anime, Goku magically predicted Hit'south movements 0.1 due south alee of time. In the manga, Goku also predicted Hit's movements 0.one s ahead but considering of those twitches, he knew when to predict.

Spoiler:

Source: Chapter 13, Page 8

Source: Episode 104, 9:05

We also learn that Hitting'southward power to shop time for 0.ane s only works when the opponent is weaker than him. As the fight continued, Goku went SSG and this made Hit's ability to freeze Goku less than 0.one s allowing Goku to counter quicker. Whis explains this very well here:

Spoiler:

Source: Chapter 13, Folio nineteen

So then the logical question to inquire is how come SSB Vegeta wasn't able to overcome Hit'due south time skip since SSB > SSG correct? Well Beerus asks the same question from Whis and he answers it. The SSB transformation cannot be used repeatedly in succession as information technology drains stamina, so Vegeta was using less than x% of SSB'south full power. It also tells the states that SSG > 10% SSB. That is, if Vegeta didn't show off to Cabba and turn SSB, he would've had saved the stamina and had a risk to shell Hit'southward time skip.

Spoiler:

Source: Chapter 13, Folio 20

Hit's other ability was the "Time Lag" in the manga or the "Time Cage" in the anime, "Time Cage" was used against Jiren to freeze all of Jiren's movements. To exercise this, Hit needed to land one puch on Jiren'due south trunk. Hit'due south programme was to essentially throw him out of the band, but Jiren overpowered Hit. According to Vados, Jiren was so powerful that he transcends fourth dimension itself.

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

Source: Episode 111, DBS Anime

In the manga, information technology was stated past Hit that he trained hard after his fight with Goku and tried to fix the flaws with his Fourth dimension Skip technique in that in but worked for 0.1 seconds and it required that his opponent is weaker than he is. Hit has trained his ain torso and doesn't rely on Time Skip anymore. He then removes his belt to increase his speed and moves a lot faster. Then, he uses the "Time Lag"on Jiren to impede or slow down Jiren'south movements. Unlike the anime, Hit doesn't demand direct contact with Jiren'southward trunk to initiate Fourth dimension Lag. and fights Jiren while his movements are lagged. Eventually though, Jiren beat the Time Lag by increasing his speed to overcome the lag. However, this was not transcending time like Vados stated in the anime. This minor item becomes a major departure to explicate how Time Lag works.

3rd Major Difference – Hitting'southward Comeback Power:
Remember that time in the anime when Hitting was getting beat by SSB Goku and we all thought Goku was winning? Then Hit started doing what seemed to exist powering up but actually he didn't raise his ability level. Then, Hit landed a critical blow to Goku. Nosotros found out later that Striking did something called "improvement", an ability like to zenkai, the hallmark trait of the saiyans, only different in that he adapted to the state of affairs and increased his Time Skip from 0.1 due south to 0.2 due south without raising his power.

In the manga, however, this never happened. When Striking powered upwardly, his ability level did increase just as expected from regular logic. The idea was that if SSG Goku exceeding Hit'due south power was the reason the Time Skip wasn't working, and so all Hit had to do increment his power farther. Hitting and so said that since he hasn't used his total power in a long fourth dimension, he could simply practice the Time Skip once but it would freeze Goku for a full 0.1 s. That is, in the manga, Hit's Time Skip remained at 0.ane s and did not increase.

The "improvement" ability was never mentioned or heard of again in the anime. He didn't "better" during the fight with Dyspo or Jiren. "Improvement" was dropped from the anime considering the anime again incorporated what was in the manga.

It'south at this point in the manga that Goku switches over to SSB and then that he nonetheless exceeds Hitting in power even more. Therefore, Hit still tin can't freeze him. In the anime, Goku instead used Kaioken on top of Blue. Information technology was explained that 10x Kaioken was enough to make Goku move faster than Striking's Time Skip simply this actually made no sense since Hitting's ability is Time Skip not Time Lag. Therefore, moving faster cannot overcome the Time Skip. It tin can only exist overcome by increasing one's ability above Hit. In the anime, Striking improved his Time Skip to 0.five s which overcame even the 10x Kaioken at which point Goku forfeited since he knew his torso was already suffering from the effects of the Kaioken.

quaternary Deviation – Black'southward Zenkai

A Saiyan's hallmark trait of getting stronger after each fight is called the Zenkai. This occurs when a Saiyan is healed from their injuries. The zenkai is fifty-fifty divers in the Daizenshuu. In Dragon Ball Super, Black however was different because he got stronger during the fight subsequently taking impairment. This is quite different from the zenkai we've known in Dragon Ball Z. Commonly a Saiyan has to be healed after taking impairment or being near the brink of death. A Saiyan doesn't just go stronger from harm alone.

Source: Chapter xx, DBS Manga

The manga depiction of Black was different. In the manga, as Black took damage from the fight, he in fact did non get stronger. However, we detect out later that Hereafter Zamasu is using his abilities equally a Kai to heal Black. This double team of Zamasu healing Black immune Black to continually get stronger. Each time he was healed, Blackness made Goku's torso more than his own and was able to unlock more of its power. This is consistent with Dragon Ball Z's original logic as to how a zenkai works. In addition, when Ginyu took Goku's body, he wasn't able to apply its full power immediately either.

5th Departure – Merged Zamasu'due south Strength

Spoiler:

Point 3: Next, the manga was criticized for making Merged Zamasu very weak compared to the anime. In the manga, Vegito Blue said he could wipe out all traces of Merged Zamasu before he could regenerate himself, implying that he could beat Merged Zamasu even if he was immortal. Vegito was effortlessly beating the crap out of Merged Zamasu only defused just before he could finish off his Final Kamehameha which was supposed to be the ending assail. In addition, we see from this interview, Toriyama said that while Merged Zamasu is strong, 2 SSBs was enough to accept him on. It was in fact, Toyotaro'southward idea to use fusion in the offset place and convince Toriyama to do some fan service. In fact, the unabridged typhoon for the Zamasu arc was given an OK by Toriyama.

In the anime yet, Merged Zamasu seems somewhat equivalent to Vegito Bluish, giving him some actual competition and hitting back. Also, unlike the manga, Vegito did consummate the Terminal Kamehameha and damaged Merged Zamasu, merely only one-half of him. One question is - what was Vegito Bluish'south purpose in the anime if Merged Zamasu was immortal? In the manga, at least information technology was stated that Vegito could wipe out all traces to foreclose him from regenerating. Without the mafuba, there was no way to defeat an immortal, so what was the strategy? Ultimately, the fusion would have run out.

A pocket-sized difference noted was that when Goku and Vegeta fused, they ate a unmarried senzu bean after fusion rather than two senzu beans before fusion. To me, that seemed smarter as it saved a senzu bean. It was more than dramatic that they merely had i senzu bean left.

6th Major Divergence - Hakai

In the Dragon Ball Super manga, the hakai technique was thought to exist exclusive to the Hakaishin. It uses hakai energy which seems to be a form of negative energy to erase any being, fifty-fifty if they are a ghost. We found out though that anyone can go a Hakaishin and one is not born into it like the Kaioshin. In the Zamasu arc, Goku suddenly uses the hakai free energy against Merged Zamasu which was seemingly working for a chip. If hakai energy is a form of free energy used by the Hakaishin, we can conclude it requires god ki. Perchance Goku learned information technology from watching Beerus just like he learned the Kamehameha from watching Roshi. In addition, Trunks was able to learn how to use the ability to heal others because he was training under Shin and Kibito. Thus, in the manga, these techniques may in fact, tin can be taught to mortals.

7th Major Deviation – Mastered SSB vs SSB + Kaioken x20

Goku used a Completed SSB (CSSB) grade in the manga which allowed Goku to be on par with Merged Zamasu. A lot of people just couldn't accept this compared to the anime since that would mean CSSB Goku lonely is enough to beat Merged Zamasu, and then is his new course as strong as Vegito? No, Vegito was just much much greater in power just the anime nerfed him. Vegeta was besides later able to acquire the CSSB course and used it confronting a quick spar against Beerus where he lost horribly. This immune both Goku and Vegeta to be able to catch up to each other. In contrast, in the anime, since Kaioken is being used, Vegeta had to be given another form called SSB Evolution (SSBE) since Vegeta doesn't know Kaioken. We also now know from Chapter 35 in the manga, that Goku used CSSB against Jiren analogous to Episode 109 of the anime where he used SSB+Kaioken x20, and then information technology can be assumed here that CSSB is indeed equivalent to the anime'southward version of SSB+Kaioken x20.

In addition, the manager of Episode 131, Megumi Ishitani, stated herself that the SSBE is equivalent to Goku'southward SSB Kaioken x20:

Point 4: When asked about calculation Toyotaro'south own ideas into Toriyama's original draft, Toriyama welcomes information technology and fifty-fifty goes on to say that Toyotaro knows more than Dragon Brawl.

eighth Major Difference – Marty Stu Trunks and Space Zamasu

In pop culture, Mary Sue is a female person perfect fictional character. They tin can usually perform meliorate at tasks than should be possible given the amount or grooming or experience. Marty Stu is the male equivalent of that. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Sue

In the anime, Hereafter Trunks learned the Mafuba, Spirit Bomb, and SS Rage all over the course of a couple of episodes. SS Rage was a new transformation that came out of nowhere without whatever explanation in dissimilarity to MSSB where it was explained that it was substantially the total ability of SSB without any ki leakage. Both in the anime and manga, Trunks cut Merged Zamasu in half. Withal, in the manga, Merged Zamasu was also afflicted by the 1 hour fusion time limit since neither Black or Time to come Zamasu are complete Kaioshins. Since they are the aforementioned person in different bodies, they had fused at the cellular level and hence was rejecting the defusion. They started separating and Trunks took advantage of that to slice them in one-half. And so, Merged Zamasu became like to Buu, in that each part that was cut regenerated itself into another Merged Zamasu with the same power as the original Merged Zamasu. Eventually, he made several clones of himself – Infinite Zamasu.

Spoiler:

Source: Chapter 29, Page 37

In the anime though, later on Merged Zamasu was cutting in half, he went into the sky and essentially became intangible without a physical torso. Hither, infinite Zamasu was divers very differently. In the manga, information technology is implied that if an attack wiped out all traces of Merged Zamasu, similar to Cell or Buu, then he wouldn't regenerate even if he had immortality. Though different from Cell or Buu, each clone of Merged Zamasu was as strong equally the original, which is scary!

I mean imagine Naruto doing Kage Bushin with each of his clones potent as the without their power divided. Tenshinhan was the first person in Dragon Ball to clone himself at the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai into four clones. Goku hands defeated all four since their ability was ane/fourth.

8th Major Departure – Kale

In the anime, Kale is shown to exist a shy, introverted girl. She is reluctant to fight. She loves Caulifla similar a sister and would do anything to receive praise from her. She showcases her true power equally a Berserk Super Saiyan before the Tournament of Power. In the anime, she literally becomes a man punching pocketbook from her opponents. After she turned into a Berserk Super Saiyan, she hands overpowered Super Saiyan Blue Goku and walked through his Kamehameha.

Spoiler:

Source: Chapter 37, DBS Manga

Source: Chapter 38, DBS Manga

However, in the manga, Kale was an orphan found on the streets by Caulifla and hence, she hid her abilities from Caulifla as a mode of respect. She did not transform into a Berserk Super Saiyan until the Tournament of Power, surprising both Cabba and Caulifla. Equally a Base of operations Saiyan, she was already stronger and faster than Super Saiyan Caulifla. Golden Freeza confirmed this when he said that Kale's strikes injure more than Caulifla'southward. After she turned Berserk, she easily overpowers Gilt Freeza and breaks the guard of Super Saiyan Blue Goku. She beats Anilaza with ane kick whereas in the anime, it took 5 main characters using their final attacks and it still wasn't plenty to defeat him.

Different the anime, Kale's Berserk form wasn't invincible. Vegeta goes on to say that brute power isn't everything and that Kale'south moves are predictable. It took five Pride Troopers to defeat Berserk Kale, using teamwork. We fifty-fifty larn that Kale might be the legendary Saiyan of Universe 6 that appears every thousand years.

10th Major Difference – Kefla

In the manga, Caulifla fused with Kale due to an emergency in order to control Kale and prevent her from destroying herself. As in the anime, they fused as Super Saiyans. However, dissimilar the anime, the resulting fusion was a Super Saiyan Kefla not a Base Kefla. In fact, it was the Elder Kaioshin who told Goku since the DBZ manga, to non fuse equally Super Saiyans, considering it overstresses the body and shortens the life span. This is because the fused entity cannot ability down. This is also why when Black and Zamasu fused into Merged Zamasu, Black was already in Super Saiyan Rose so Merged Zamasu was permanently in a transformed state. The anime withal contradicts what the Elder Kaioshin stated long ago.

Spoiler:

11th Major Divergence – Roshi vs Jiren

In chapter 39 of the manga, Roshi uses what seems to be Ultra Instinct. Notwithstanding, it is establish that Roshi is NOT using Migatte No Gokui but using something that has similarities to information technology. Whis said that what Roshi is using has similar principles simply is a "far weep" from Ultra Instinct. Roshi is hundreds of years sometime and has studied martial arts from Mutaito. The concept of reacting, moving instinctively, and anticipating or predicting your opponent'south movements is not new in martial arts. Information technology's chosen Mushin. Information technology'south a state of mind that is achieved later on years of practise past the pinnacle grandmasters. Roshi had zippo take chances against Jiren. Roshi isn't moving faster than Jiren to dodge those punches. He predictable and predicted the punch, moving out of the way before the punch was thrown. At the same time, Jiren is fighting a wing. He tin be disqualified for killing a wing such as Roshi. Thus, he is barely using an ounce of his ability. Ki suppression has been prevalent since early on DB. If one suppresses their ki to 1, they can even be harmed by a bullet. Whis has besides been shown to concur the wings of a bee to evidence how he can control his strength. Goku isn't Superman. He doesn't have superstrength permanently. Rather, he tin increment or decrease his ki at will, which is how he can eat with chopsticks without breaking them or hug his wife. In the end, Jiren karate chops Roshi to knock him out. The entire purpose of Roshi demonstrating what he did, much to the shock of Beerus, Whis, and Goku, was what a person can do against someone more than powerful without gaining more than power. Goku learned to minimize unnecessary movements from trying to grab Korin and as well from Mr. Popo when moving without making a noise with a bell attached to his clothes. This is office of being "placidity as the heaven" only "faster than lightning". The manga goes out of its fashion to remind the fans all the direct quotes from Goku'south teachers. These fundamentals nonetheless, were lost as Goku surpassed his limits through power alone. In DBZ, Goku needed to close the power gap betwixt him and his foes because without ability, he can't practise whatsoever harm regardless of martial arts. This is why DBZ was mostly nigh Super Saiyan transformations. Goku learns from this and tapped into UI Omen. Information technology was the perfect segue into Goku achieving Ultra Instinct.

12th Major Divergence – Ultimate Gohan vs Kefla

Gohan is a hybrid Saiyan. It was stated since the get-go of DBZ in the Saiyan saga and also equally in the official Daizenshuu 7, that the Humans and Saiyans have excellent compatibility. Gohan can increase his strength as a human being and a Saiyan, tapping into new heights. Information technology is as well explained that when the Elderberry Kai unlocked his potential, he unlocked his latent potential as a human which is why he didn't need to turn into a Super Saiyan. Since he doesn't turn into a SSJ, he doesn't waste stamina. He was shown to exist every bit strong as BSSJ Kefla who is stronger than BSSJ Kale. This makes Gohan stronger than SSB Goku. In the manga, it is shown that Gohan, with just a little serious preparation tin can be even stronger than Goku. In the anime, we see Gohan fight SSB Goku with Kaioken.

13th Major Difference - Android 17's bomb
In the anime and manga, Android 17 seemingly "self-destructed". Even so, in the manga it was outright explained that Android 17 couldn't take self-destructed even if he wanted to since Krillin already made a wish to remove the bombs from the Androids. At the aforementioned time, characters tin can been shown to self-destruct without a bomb past just using their ki solitary like Vegeta. However, as herms98 pointed out, the attack that Vegeta uses to sacrifice himself using his ki, stated in both the anime and manga is called 捨て身/sutemi, literally to throw abroad one's body/self. This is opposed to the discussion used in the anime and manga for Android 17's self-destruction which is 自爆/jibaku.
Source: https://twitter.com/Herms98/status/1068708017804210176
Hence, in Japanese, these ii seemingly similar moves are distinct. Therefore, it was all a tactic to fool others and hide Android 17 until the end since Android 17 does non emit a ki signature that can exist detected. Rather, his free energy is artificial than biological since he is an Android, designed by Dr. Gero, Infinite Energy model. This does non contradict annihilation in the prior manga material. It as well explains why the Grand Priest, who appear that Android 17 is gone, both in the anime and manga, was unaware that he is nevertheless nowadays. In the anime, Android 17 survives his ain self-devastation out of sheer luck with no explanation given that it was a plan devised past him and Freeza.

14th Major Difference - No Kaioken or Evolution Blue in DBS Broly picture
The most recent DBS Broly pic has more involvement by Toriyama than any other movie in history. We know this from Tatsuya Nagamine's interview, who is the director of the movie:

Source: http://www.kanzenshuu.com/translations/ ... interview/
In this movie, Goku and Vegeta do not employ Kaioken or Evolution Blue, which were anime-exclusive forms. Rather, the aura shown for SSB seemed to lucifer the aura shown by Vegeta in the ToP in the manga, which was the manga'south equivalent of Evolution Blue. This is perchance the greatest evidence in favor of the manga being more consistent with Toriyama's script. Before, both the anime and manga were told to be adaptations of Toriyama's draft but since we did not have access to his draft, there was no manner to know which one was more consistent. In this case, the movie is conspicuously following his script and it is more consequent with the manga than the anime.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In determination, the manga and anime each have their own unique story elements that we either love or hate but based on the evidence, the manga has less inconsistencies than the anime. Toriyama works very closely with Toyotaro, reviewing each affiliate. I promise that this clears up whatever misinformation regarding how the manga is produced and that information technology is non some spin-off or fan-manga. If yous disagree with anything I said, please feel gratis to comment below stating why or why not. What exercise yous think is "catechism" or do you even intendance? Practice y'all like anime more or the manga? Why? Or do you utilise both to make your ain head canon, taking data from each? Do you recollect in the futurity the anime will be more based off the manga? Post below.
