Before the deadline, the sequel to the Dragon Ball series "Dragon Ball Super" has entered the universe survival chapter: the climax of the twelve universe martial arts meeting. With Goku briefly breaking the limit, he once touched the "freedom" that Beerus, the god of destruction, could not perfectly grasp. In the realm of "Extreme Yi Gong", Hit, the strongest player in Universe 6, who appeared as the BOSS in the Xiangpa chapter, succeeded the exhausted Goku and fought against the ace Jiren of Universe 11, and was finally defeated and eliminated. Hot discussion.
And the old-fashioned question of "Whether Toriyama Ming is not guaranteed in the evening" has also been put on the table again.
Before "Dragon Ball Super", there were two theatrical versions of "God and God" and "The Resurrection of F". They brought out King Frieza again and whipped the corpse again and again. Everyone knows. But even so, Dragon Ball fans who believe in "the most flammable Dragon Ball" are still full of hope for the new work. After all, that is Dragon Ball! However, at the beginning, the two theatrical versions were re-engraved, which lasted for 27 episodes. Two pots of cold water were poured on the head, which seemed particularly insincere. But this is only the beginning of all problems.
The plot is thin and uninteresting
Let's briefly recall the three main chapters of Dragon Ball Z.
Namek, the story leaves the earth for the first time, develops into outer space, and confronts Frieza, the emperor of evil in the universe. Although it was relatively early, Goku also experienced the story of being replaced by Frieza's strongest warrior Ginyu, and then recaptured with difficulty. In the end, he became a Super Saiyan and defeated Frieza because of Krillin's death. The whereabouts of Buster's explosion are unknown.
In the Shalu chapter, Frieza, who was resurrected at the beginning of the light, rushed to the earth, and was instantly killed by Trentes who traveled from the future in a time machine, and he was full of appetite. Then, because of Vegeta's arrogance, Sharu was allowed to evolve into a complete body, which led to a reversal of the situation, and Goku was completely defeated. Incomparably powerful, he proposed a "Sharu game" similar to the world's No. 1 martial arts club. Let the earth warriors be besieged by wheel battles, and this has created such a super villain who is even worse than Frieza. image.
Not to mention the Majin Buu chapter, Buu implemented the human extinction plan, Trunks and Goten took up the banner to fight against Buu, and were absorbed; the mysterious Gohan, who was brought out of his full potential, beat Buu and was careless. , was absorbed; and then finally achieved the historic integration of Goku Vegeta, the birth of the strongest warrior Vegeta, which wrote a lot in the history of animation. With twists and turns, ups and downs, people can't help but admire Toriyama's imagination and ability to grasp the rhythm and plot of tomorrow.
All kinds of treasures.
In the blink of an eye, the pressure came to the Dragon Ball Super side, who was known as Toriyama Akira who personally wrote the original story.
In the God of Destruction chapter, after having a dream of an epic battle with the Super Saiyan God, the sleeping God of Destruction Beerus woke up and went to Earth to find the opponent in this prophecy. Challenge the God of Destruction to be killed in seconds, and then accept the power of all Saiyan warriors to become the Super Saiyan God. After a battle where the output depends entirely on roar, Goku was defeated and ended.
In chapter F of the resurrection, Frieza was suddenly resurrected. After four months of penance, he went to Earth to take revenge again. Under the watch of the God of Destruction and Vegeta, he faced off against Goku. Goku defeated Frieza, who was finally exhausted, in a half-playing state. , Frieza desperately destroys the earth, and the angel Weiss turns back time to resolve the crisis and end.
In the Elephant Pa chapter, the sixth universe destroyer Elephant Pa, next door, challenged his twin brother Beerus to hold a five-to-five competition between the two universes. After a pot of stew, the seventh universe won and ended.
The plot has always been the main line of the soul of a work. There is no fight but no support for the wonderful plot. It tastes like a boiled chicken breast.
Let's look at chapter F of the resurrection only. Frieza seeks revenge from Goku after he has become golden Beerus was so shocked that he almost fell on his knees and confessed his father on the spot.
At this point, it is already clear at a glance that Frieza is destined to not make a difference. He proposed a one-on-one battle with Goku, and finally Goku was careless and nearly destroyed the earth by Frieza. They were all just trying to fix the loopholes in the plot. Goku didn't even have it during the battle He tried his best and kept fighting all the way. The reason for the victory was that Frieza was quick and diligent but his stamina failed to keep up, not to mention that Vegeta, the second leader, hardly made any shots, and no matter what the result was, Biru was always standing behind him. Si and Weiss, can control all the troubles that appear, and the triple protection allows Wukong to play without any worries.
In the face of such a plot, the heart is like still water, and there are few waves. It is hard not to think of the corresponding Namek in Dragon Ball Z. When you meet Frieza for the first time, Vegeta, Piccolo, and Gohan take turns in Frieza's triple form. After losing the battle, Wukong's strongest move, the vitality bomb, did not work. After witnessing the tragic death of Krillin, he broke through the limit and became a Super Saiyan. And after defeating Frieza, Goku's whereabouts are unknown, which is worrying, and the plot also smoothly integrates into the Charu chapter.
Start with a few friends, and the outbreak depends on dead comrades. Every time the characters grow up, they are born after death, which is almost never seen in Dragon Ball Super. Comparing the two, it is self-evident that the plot of Dragon Ball Super is thin, there is little tension and suspense, and it can no longer support the blood. This is largely due to the limitations of some settings of Dragon Ball Super, and I will talk about it in detail next.
The overall setting is obviously limited
According to Toriyama Akira's early plan, Dragon Ball should end after Goku defeats the Great Demon King Piccolo. At that time Goku was already the strongest warrior on earth, and Dragon Ball's comic editor Torishima Kazuhiko said lightly, "Then let him become the number one in the universe. ', which started Kakarot's growth story.
Yes, the same situation happened again after the end of Dragon Ball Z. Goku, who defeated Majin Buu, became the strongest warrior in the universe. How else to fight? So the overall world of Dragon Ball Super is set out: the God of Destruction corresponding to Kaiwang God, the angel responsible for serving the God of Destruction, the chief priest of the angels, the multiverse twelve universes, the master of the entire universe, the king of all, and the god of nothing. Super Dragon Ball that can't be.
In fact, all of this is very reasonable, but at the same time, it is accompanied by a huge problem: what about the villains, where can the powerful villains be found?
Looking at the main plot line of Dragon Ball Super, you will find one thing: what Goku can't solve, there is God of Destruction; what God of Destruction can't solve, there are angels (Whis knocks Beerus out with a single blow, the angel's The power is obvious); in the future chapter, it is special. The villain Zamasu killed the Kaiwang God in the whole universe. Because Kaiwang God and the God of Destruction are in a symbiotic relationship, they indirectly caused the God of Destruction to all die. At the same time, he was responsible for serving the God of Destruction. The angels of God will stop functioning due to the death of the destruction god, which will result in no one to punish him. But it doesn't matter, there is the supreme Quanwang, who was summoned by Goku, and waved his hands to cook the already helpless fit Zamasu.
do you understand? In the past, he used to rely on himself to fight the country, but now he has become a related household . Dragon Ball Chao exposed all the leadership of the 12 universes early, which led to this work directly touching the ceiling of the upper limit and losing the possibility of pondering the plot. In the current universe survival chapter, the universe that was defeated in the martial arts meeting will be eliminated by the Quanwang, and the process is more than halfway through, but you dare to say that you can't guess the result? It's nothing more than Goku using Super Dragon Ball to restore other destroyed universes.
Seriously broken
As for the character design, it is worthy of a special book.
Wukong, bear the brunt. It is indeed a tradition that our protagonists have always been obsessed with sparring and fighting, but they are also relaxed.
Recalling the two details of Dragon Ball Z, once in the "Sharu Game", Wukong took the lead and was inseparable from Sharu. He knew that he could not defeat him, so he left early, hoping to train Gohan to bring out his potential. The other time was in the Buu arc. At that time, Wukong had not been resurrected. He believed that the crisis facing the earth should be solved by those who still survived. Goten and Trunks said that he was a coward, sitting on the strongest Super 3 at that time. Form is also reluctant to intervene too much in the fight, opting instead to exercise these two children within its short time limit. He has already begun to focus on the future, and the demeanor of a generation of martial artists has been fully demonstrated.
In Dragon Ball Super, with age, he has become a complete fighting idiot. First, he did not listen to the king's dissuasion and provoked the God of Destruction, and then he tried to persuade Jin to propose to the king to hold an all-universe martial arts meeting, and made a bet on the fate of the twelve universes. This is nothing but the brain's thinking, and this aspect alone can be said to be completely broken.
Gohan, the son follows the father. As the first warrior in two specific moments in Dragon Ball Z (the period of defeating Sharu, the period of the mysterious Gohan), Akira Toriyama's love, once replaced the protagonist of Wukong, and now the situation is not bad, as if he is repaying the previous openings. After hanging up the debt he owed, he fell into the mortal world, and the words " Super Saiyan has probably become something " popped out of his mouth. He was beaten by Frieza's minions. It was incredible.
To explore the reasons for the bankruptcy of Akira Toriyama's protagonist replacement plan, in the final analysis, it is that Gohan and Goku have too similar personalities, but in terms of personal charm and effort, the son is not as good as his father, so why should the audience accept such a low-profile version of Goku? So in the later period, on the basis of Gohan's love, marriage and birth to Xiaofang, only the setting of such a model husband could only be added to it. In the fighting manga, it was really unattractive, and was gradually eliminated from the front-line combat team.
This is the biggest flaw of Dragon Ball Superman's design - grabbing a certain main feature of a character and magnifying it infinitely . Just like Wukong is labeled as a fighting maniac, he can't get rid of it. Also troubled by the same trouble is our arrogant Saiyan prince Vegeta, who incarnates as a wife-guardian madman, analogous to Gohan, not much to say.
For me personally, the most nonsense and incompetent is that Goten and Trunks have almost no growth, and the characters are portrayed in a very naive way. Most of Gotenks' roles are played in the original animation plots, playing soy sauce. In the chapter of cosmic survival, the earth has to choose ten strongest warriors. I would rather use the turtle fairy Tianjin Fan and the like than let these two The Saiyan teenagers who once showed their talents in the Buu chapter showed their charm, so it is not difficult to find that they have become the new generation that was abandoned in Dragon Ball Super.
At the same time, the combat power of some other characters has been raised like a bug, such as No. 17, who is in the same state as Wukong's super blue, such as the turtle fairy in the universe survival chapter, and even you can see the magic seal. Tricks like Bo appeared again and again, and even played a role in turning the situation around in the future chapter. It is very difficult to imagine that Akira Toriyama, who planned a gorgeous big move like Dragon Fist in the later stage of Dragon Ball, needs to take out the products of the ancient times to support the scene , can he be worthy of a sentence of Jiang Lang?
As we all know, the three tenets of Juvenile JUMP: friendship, hard work, and victory . However, under the seemingly sudden expansion of Dragon Ball Super, but the actual but obvious worldview, the author has passively lost the operability of the plot direction.
At the same time, the character image is one-sided, labelled, and childish, which contradicts the setting of the previous work. The protagonist no longer needs to work hard to obtain the final victory, and there is always a presence to wipe his ass, which is very disappointing. Since the broadcast, the ratings have continued to drop. Even the autumn special episode called "The First Ultimate Battle in the Universe", such as Goku and Jiren, who had a good reputation two weeks ago, has set a record low.
It can be seen that Toei's cold rice is fried. Toriyama is not guaranteed for tomorrow night, so it can be concluded.
Make a final prediction.
Not long ago, the screenwriter revealed that there will be a new warrior in episode 114, and everyone will be excited about his birth. As soon as the news came out, everyone speculated that Goku Vegeta, the warrior Gogeta made of fusion techniques, would appear, but I don't think so, because whether fusion techniques or earrings fit together, whether Gogeta or Vegeta, never did. Have fought against any single character in the main storyline of Dragon Ball : Buu, who swallowed the mysterious Gohan at that time; in the future chapter, Black Goku and Zamasu merged; even in Dragon Ball GT, Yixinglong absorbed the other six an evil dragon. Not to mention the theatrical version. This may be the inheritance set by Dragon Ball, or it may be the proud bottom line of Saiyan's fair fight——
If there is a plot like Gogeta vs Jiren, it would not be an exaggeration to remove the word "a few" in the title of this article.
