It's interesting....looks better than I expected honestly.

seems broly motivations will be different. He
actually attacks Vegeta first. Also frieza seems excited with his power level, not worried. But then we see him fight broly. I think frieza might be controlling him at first.

New chapter. The ending makes my intelligence hurt. I don't even know what the hell to make of this. I literally have a headache after reading that.

Jesus that's an incredible train wreck of a chapter, I don't know if the editor told him to wrap things up asap or something but it's so bad it's almost comical.

What like 30 fighters were rings out in the spawn of 8 pages? Kale just destroyed everyone, they even seemed to troll the reader with the robot fusion getting one shot, and universe 11 amazing teamwork has half a second to shine before also getting roflstomp by the fusion. And then Gohan, fucking Gohan just show up and his suppose to be has strong as her/them or something, seriously why didin't Gohan just ring out everyone if he was so god damn better then everyone else.

Random question, because I generally don't read manga: How do you consider what's canon and what's not when there are discrepancies between the anime and the manga? Is it always manga? Always anime? Always whichever is released first? Second? Are they both considered canon and you just clarify whether you're talking about anime-canon vs. manga-canon during discussions, whenever relevant?

Manga is generally canon if there is any discrepancy.

Manga or the original source (manga in this case) is always canon. Anything different from the manga is considered filler and not canon.

That's not true anymore though. That was true in Z. But now anime is ahead and Toriyama doesnt write the manga, so the manga in reality has no merits over the anime anymore.

The problem is Toriyama doesnt write the anime either. He technically however did write an outline saying exactly who would win and how each character (or each u7 character?) Would get knocked out. I read an statement about it with screenshots and all. I haven't been following the manga, are the eliminations from U7 characters still the same? Or did toyotaro change them?

In that case I'd say the anime is more cannon. But in reality. There isn't a cannon anymore. Simply anime and manga as different versions.

Yeah Toriyama gave an outline of the story, and the manga and anime are very different interpretations of that.

I'd actually like for an anime adaptation of the Super manga to be made one day. I think some of the things done in the manga would be real cool to see animated.

Keep in mind the guy releases 1 chapter per month. If he paced the manga the way the anime was paced he'd draw the Tournament of Power for the rest of his life.

I personally prefer the manga's execution over the anime. Though we get lesser side characters, I don't think there are any intentions that will explore them later.
We mainly see the possibility of U7 interacting with U6 and U11 in future arcs, but for the other Universes, they are relegated as more side characters and forgettable characters that we are unlikely to see again. So the development they get in the anime sort of makes it feel like filler.
But that's just my interpretation.

The manga has generally had better execution overall than the anime. This latest chapter is the largest, most significant exception in that regard.

Geez, I know there wasn't really a good way to deal with "suddenly an extra strong SSJ wrecked everyone's shit" but geez. I guess it's better that we're getting rid of this faster. Poor Gohan gonna lose though...
Also, is Roshi still alive? I don't think I saw him on the stand. That's actually amazing.

It would need to hit the anime for it to be considered canon in regards to DBS, imo.

Yeah while short, I prefer that Gohan and Kefla fight and it be an even fight compared to Goku who shouldn't have needed UI to beat her (imo). Some stuff I think the anime did better in there as well but not the worst chapter.
