Yeah right OP, these are the REAL gods.

Are we forgetting Kenta Kuraaku (aka Suppaman) Heck, his first appearance was in '79 in Dr. Slump, predating his role in Dragon Ball.

Toriyama has always had a thing for DC, especially Superman. It's why Goku's backstory in Z is so similiar to Superman's.

Akira is a DCfag.

Toriyama loves DC comics, man. Goku is a Superman reference, and there's a far more blatant Superman expy flying around.

We also have a god of destruction elephant for world ten. So Gowasu even got a new apprentice it seems.

Who may be Lord Konpei waaaaay back from the Dragon Ball-era games.

why are you people even watching this trash? Terrible animation, awful characters, uninspired villains.

truly dragon ball has become a series for plebs

On second that. That's his angel, ha.

I also just noticed we may have a fox god of destruction.


Perhaps a wolf god of destruction will show up too...

Zamasu is the most entertaining villain of Dragon Ball.

He's even more autist than Kid Boo.

Crossover when?

A lot of people forget the other 2 these guys are with.
The hooded guy and the Supreme Kai are Batman and Robin

>famous creator loves DC comics
Who doesn't?

>Terrible animation
i think you forgot that steven univeres an nuPPG exist

>implying it hasn't been for 30 years

ya super is totally the normies only mainstream series. the rest was cool and popular right

i suppose if i was autistic, i would also find an autistic villain entertaining.


>implying I dont agree.

just because power puff girls and steven universe are the epitome of garbage animation doesn't mean that this is good.

Why does goku look like he's around ten in this
I thought he was an infant when this part went down

Dragon Ball Minus. Toriyama retconned Goku's origin and introduced Goku's mom
It's fucking garbage.

As if the old DBZ didn't have shit animation. And what the hell do you mean uninspired villains? Zamasu is the only one so far.

Well, then I'm quite glad I never heard of it, thanks user.

It only retconned the anime ya dweeb.

Never thankfully

It seems like all of Japan was for Superman.

It was the Emperor's favorite TV show after all.

>being a DBZfag
Kill yourself

i'm i'm not saying dragon ball super is good, i mean there's a lot wrong with it, but if i had to choose between dragon ball super and Steven universe, i'd choose dragon ball super.
on the other hand, steven universe has better slice of life episode than actual plot episodes, like the main story and fight scenes suck and is almost basically a ripoff of dbz and other anime.

if there's one thing the bothers me while watching dragon ball super, it's goku's nose at times

>pandering
That's another word that doesn't mean anything anymore.

I suppose you're right. but having to chose between Super and Steven universe is like saying "What would i rather have, Cancer or Anthrax?"

the major problem with goku is the same problem the last 20+ years. Japan can't seem to get their head out their ass and cast an actual adult man for an adult man. he sounds like a 10 year old kid,.

One of the few Japanese shows that were done better dubbed in english than its native language. have you heard imperfect cell in japan, its pathetic. almost as bad as goku.

...

Gokus voice is less annoying than the fact that when he and gohan interact I literally can't fucking tell them apart. Like in the sparring scene they had a conversation and I lost track of who was talking immediately. It's fucking obnoxious.

Maybe Japan just loves DC more.

Is this porn?

Nah, they just love Spider-Man above all else

Supermand and Spiderman.

Maybe they just like superheroes that start with 'S'.

It's My Gym Partner's a Monkey only all the girls are human looking but the dudes still look like animals

Batman had a mana

*manga

Cool.

I liked the dragon ball minus number, the one akira did after seen MoS.

Why do DBZ fans are so autistic? Akira is obviously a fanboy of superman

English not my first speaking but no one really cares about Marvel characters overseas. DC is much more recognize to people.

Nop, it's just that they got Spiderman rights easily.

Remember beforeall that Toho tried to get the rights to BATMAN


the original planned sequel for Godzilla vs King Kong was BATMAN vs GODZILLA, but the Adam West series madeit impossible.
Superman and Batman are more popular in japan, don't be fooled by rights stuff. India on the other hand is where Spidey rulessupreme

Where's Ivy?

...

>Kid touches Spider-Man
>Has to endure OMM and getting cucked by Norman Osborn

>no one really cares about Marvel characters overseas

Not even Spider-Man?

Not him ids love spiderman everywhere,the thing is that saidkids eventually grow up,they still remember spiderman, but they wont remember any of spiderman's villians if they are not into comics

Spider-Man is loved well, no one else really. Sometimes X Men too but more DC.

>Why do DBZ fans are so autistic?
It's like Star Wars. What was originally meant to be some one off movies/comics was forcefully evolved into a huge franchise that the fans think they have as much right too as the actual creator.

Why can't we get more DC Japan shit?

BATMANGA?

You have summoned The Mighty Lord Death Man. Welcome to DIE.

what kind of school give's P.E. after lunch?

Mine did

The American kind. Mine sometimes did, on certain days.

Don't forget how badly Superman fans lost their shit because MoS portrayed Superman differently. Those guys were complaining about it for years.

Did Akira like Man of Steel? How about Batman v. Superman?

...

BatManga was pretty great (even beyond Lord Death Man)

I wish there was a Franco Belgium Superman

Hey SU has its moments, like the fact that their really getting good at making sand explode.

My school did

>why is Japanese Superman influenced by DC
Oh gee I don't know

who the fuck gives a shit about sand nigga!?

You're all forgetting the best new character Super revealed.
>Broly. BUT WITH TITS.
The waifu is maximum.

Oh mama

I'm more interested in delicious brown god of destruction

Faggots like Horikoshi or whatever the fuck nip writes Boku no hero

I can't be the only one who thinks the "God" thing in DB has gotten unbelievably retarded. King Kai was as far as I could take it.

Anything written after Cell should be ignored.

I think the same, I love King Kai best character in DBZ.

Well it looks like my dick has work to do, goodbye anons, to the spankcave

I wonder if you get in trouble for banging the God of Destruction.

FemBroly is great because you can fuck her as a waifu, but then she turns into a giant Amazon and kills you with SnuSnu.

At this point in super, shouldn't goku be at least on par with beerus

>normie question

>Sup Forums hates FemBroly
>Sup Forums loves her

I hate this trope so fucking much

you become the destroyer of pussy

But is he more autistic than Mr. Buu?

Sup Forums has shit taste, we've known this since the board was created.

Just saying "FemBroly" brings me closer to nirvana.

His role made sense. He was essentially a larger scale Kami, almost like his boss. Minus the counterpart thing, Frieza was to Kai how King Piccolo was to Kami. I thought it was a bit too much, but I could even stand the idea of having North, South, East, and West Kai's to a degree (though that's more the animu's thing).
The Kai shit introduced in Buu was fucking asinine, and it only got dumber and messier from there.

if i recall from what fans say, each god of destruction is based of some sort of folklore, legend, history or whatever.
i think pic related is based of egypt like Cleopatra and king tut
