The Dragon Ball Super Manga Is BETTER Than The Anime

The BEST Moments from the Dragon Ball Super Manga

The Dragon Ball Super Manga has been in the shadow of the DBS Anime for a long time, but with it being on hiatus, many of us have gone back to read Goku and Vegeta's adventures in this format while we wait for Dragon Ball Super 2 or Dragon Ball Daima. Well, I'm here to speak my truth; I think the Dragon Ball Super manga is better than the anime! From Future Trunks and his Supreme Kai training, or Goku getting Master Roshi to help him with ultra instinct- there is too many things to love.

Thanks for watching everyone! Be sure to share with friends who like dragon ball! Tell me, have you read the DBS manga?

Manga Zamasu is better but i like the symbolism of anime Zamasu where he tried to wipe out the mortals because he saw them as barbarians and monsters and in the end he ends up becoming what he hates the most: a barbarian, a monster. Both his design and attitude reflect the change and it's honestly a very nice piece of writing.

My fav manga moment was roshi vs jiren. It showed that ultra instinct isnt simply a power up but a true mastery of martial arts plus the value of experience in battle. You can feel the love of dragon ball in each panel.

0:02 Battle of Gods and Resurrection F movies came to existence after Akira Toriyama was rebuffed by the producers of Dragon Ball Evolution when he offered to help them, and it made him something beyond furious.

The Dragon Ball franchise got revitalized with DBS and their movies DBS Broly and DBS Super Hero because of that.

Goku taking Roshi's coupon instead of the seal is so funny. It feels a lot more in line with OG Dragon Ball's humor than Goku simply forgetting because he's dumb.

Goku: *sees the Zamasu army* "I'm getting Cooler flashbacks here!"
Zamasu: "We are legion, for we are many, and we are-!"
Trunks: "A pain in the ass!"
Vegeta: *smirks with pride*

SSJG Vegeta VS Goku Black was awesome. 🔥

Finally someone do DBS Manga justice, this need to be heard out.

Eh, I still prefer the anime version of the Arcs we have gotten. And hope whenever the anime comes back they continue to do that. It leads to more interesting differences.

The Black arc really grinds my gears

Goku never fights his evil counterpart

They try to give Zenkais a limit by explaining that they get worse as time goes on, expect A Vegeta wasn’t even that damaged and B Goku Black has an older body then actual Goku.

The red to Blue switch never made sense too me. They explained in the universe 6 arc that the “Act” of turning Blue drains a ton of stamina which is why Vegeta got wrecked by Hit. He had lost like 90% by then. So why in the world is consistently turning the form on and off a good idea. I understand he made the stamina drain less in the time chamber but even if he’s losing only like 15% per change it does seem worth it just to reference Goku using Kaio Ken in the Sayian Saga.

Instead of explaining Future Trunks Super Sayian Rage, they plain just don’t give him it at all so he gets sidelined in his own arc.

Mastered SSB makes sense written down, but actually being drawn makes it confusing as the only visual difference is the lack of Aura. So now we have to question whether or not if a character is mastered blue or just doesn’t have an Aura at the moment. Plus I still have a hard time buying it was enough to fight a fusion.

Also merged Zamasu having a time limit and somehow changing the way his regeneration abilities was lame compared to having his soul survive alone.

For the T.O.P my main problem is that the other universes get treated with way less respect then anime ever did, at that point why even have them.

The Superhero arc, was fine most of the major stuff happened before or after the movie, so besides making Krillin even more of a fool it didn’t do much wrong.

So yes I would like to see what you think the anime did better.

There were also a few other things. I really like how SSJG was used in the manga. Particularly with how Vegeta used it in his fight against Zamasu.

There are other little things like Goku’s personality being better in the manga as well too

(5:24) I wish this Future Trunks’ version was made into a couple of manga chapters, but Elder Kai was freed and helped Trunks unlock his Ultimate form. I think it would’ve been cool.

(8:27) Agreed!

The Goku Black manga arc was the peak of Dragon Ball Super for me outside of the intro of the Moro Arc

[DylanStorley]

Toyotaro, could you at least consider bringing Raditz and Nappa back for the battle against black frieza I think it would be cool to see the 4 original Saiyans defeat the person who destroyed the planet of the Saiyans

[insecure]

I definitely want to see a video of what the anime did better than the manga. Don't get me wrong, the manga definitely had some cool ideas, but there's a lot of stuff that just doesn't go well with me (most of it during the Goku Black Arc, my favorite arc in the anime), so I want to see what's your takes on the things the anime did better.

[CyanicCore]

The Super Manga, especially compared to the anime, is a mixed bag. There's debatably better ideas like 17 training with Cell Jrs, or how Frieza outplayed Dyspo. However, it's also missing good scenes the anime had, including entire fights such as Goku vs Black and pretty much anything with Agnilasa. Having read/watched them both, I prefer the anime for giving us more content and roughly equal plot despite the time crunch.

[divineshrek]

Honestly, the GREATLY rushed schedule of releases for both the anime and manga really made biggest money-hungry stains on Dragonball as an IP to me personally.

But man, the different takes on the arcs are genuinely great sometimes.

[justinsden]

Its about time I came across a video like this. The DBS Manga doesn’t get the credit it TRULY deserves. Honestly if the anime ever comes back, I HOPE it does the manga justice. 💯
