Personally i love that the manga actually feels like a battle royale instead of everyone vs universe 7. also the fodder characters are scaled down considerably to levels that make more sense
ehh. In this video basically every battle felt like a universe 7 battle maybe except for the kale bit. The anime shows many people fighting each other in the beginning, hit vs jiren alone, and jiren taking on kale iirc and some other majin buu like dude.
@@justindai8401 this video focuses on the u7 battles but reading it it was Definitely more battle royale like if anything u7 interrupted other battles rather than everyone takin turns with them and kale was knocking the majority of folks out too in this version, also that's not saying much for the anime, it literally turned into everyone vs u7 with an occasional u6 fight here and there, I get they wanted everyone to have a moment but it could've been executed better for the tournament theme. You're fighting for your universes survival yet almost everyone is on the sidelines waiting for there turn with u7
One of the only problems I had with the manga interpretation was the MUI transformation All Goku did was close his eyes and suddenly he finds grey hair without aging
@@MacJWitDaCheeseThe manga just feels like everyone vs u7 but the anime has different fights throughout all the universe thats why i think the anime did top better than the manga sorry if my english is terrible lol
The manga feels a bit too fast, while anime feels a tad bit slow, also the anime had episodes that had more of a focus, instead of just kinda mindless fighting
I really like the manga detail that Roshi has a very tiny tiny bit of ultra instinct. Honestly it makes sense because it isn’t a saiyan thing, it is a martial arts and your mind. Considering Roshi is over 300 years old, it kinda makes sense and I like it a lot.
@@MrLachapellikr like casually my guy has a bit of ultra instinct even though it's something you need to be in the realms of god to even learn or know about.
He doesn’t have a tiny bit he needs god ki for that he just has something very similar since ultra instinct is a fighting style that anyone can learn/recreate
The tournament wasn't reckless. As far as Goku knew it was a chance to entertain zen oh and test his medal against other top fighters with nothing but their pride on the line. Zen oh who would of erased those universes with not so much as a notice instead decided the tournament was a great idea and at some point decided to spare those that were to be purged because he saw potential
I really love the manga version in the sense that Gohan wasn't just fighting random fighters, but rather one of the major threats of the Tournament. Also rather than Ultra instinct existing due to the spirit bomb, it relied on not only Roshi's sacrifice, but goku remembering every major lesson from each of his masters, something that actually made the build up to UI much better rather than just tossing a big ball at an unstoppable enemy, failing to hit said unstoppable enemy and causing the big blue ball to break his limits. Then again, it was a spirit bomb, spirit being something that did come up in that panel with all of Goku's masters, so maybe they just wanted to incorporate a spirit bomb.
I was surprised that Kefla didn't fight Goku in the manga like in the anime. The Anime completely changed the story which usually doesn't happen most anime create filler to fill between arc but not completely change fights.
@@surajvinod1567 The anime didn't change anything actually. The entire dbs manga actually released after the anime began. In fact, it wasn't until around the Goku Black arc in the anime that the manga iteration had begun. The manga ended up changing many of the things that the anime had already made (most of it starting in the U6 tournament with the first iteration of switching between god and blue being an effective strategy to counter the energy consumption of blue), and had also improved many parts of later arcs that seemed like asspulls (especially the goku black arc, but also the ToP in some cases). Which means that the filler arcs in the anime were most likely periods of time where toei had to think of a concept which they could use to continue the anime.
Toyotaro thought "Damn why did I only put the UI right at the end, the animation did it much more smoother" and then he blasted us with Ultra Ego like Three times in the Granola arc
yeah i feel that ui from the anime adaptation percifictly the part how they used the spirit bomb to introduce ui, it had a more dramatic feel and it was great way to introduce ui.
not only are the panels and summary clear, but the perfect use of db and fighting game music in the background makes the video a whole lot more enjoyable, thumbs up.
the only thing I not like about the manga is that it doesn’t have the ending we’re goku and frieza beat him together sacrificing there self’s it’s the better ending I think other then that manga tops
The one thing i like about the manga is that since the tournament was 45 minutes they actually like eliminated a bunch of characters that really only had a gimmick but since the anime arc had to fill in more time it allowed more universes characters to be fleshed out which made it more interesting to watch
I thought piccolo would last longer seeing how he can literally stretch his arms which would of given him an edge in the tournament. Honestly would of loved to see him do that and see other characters use more of their races or specialized ability each had.
Having only watched the anime, this is really cool to see/hear. It’s also surprising to me that TOP didn’t do his God transformation in the Manga and that it was anime only. Him and Dyspo went out relatively easily. The general gist is there though. I do certainly like the UI introduction in the anime better - it has a better shot at conveying how badass it is with multiple frames and the music lol.
I like the anime just generally better. I think the power makes a lot more sense for what's meant to be survival of these universes. Not to mention that everyone at least got a chance to show off, and there seemed to be bigger that's so people had to work together more often which I think makes more sense. In a pure free for all things are fluid.
The anime has lots of fillers (as usual) so the manga could catch up... Remember the mangas get straight to the point! I feel the UI transformation better in the manga because it explains that it's what Goku was training for all his life! (For further context go back to the trainings with korin and mr Popo, the cell games, when Gohan and Goku were training to perfect ssj...) they all basically lead to this point. The anime looked really cool! But in terms if practical applicability and the science of the relationship between the body and mind, the manga is better!
You’re channel has made me realized how much i underestimated the manga for all of db.. the stories pacing and thought out story telling is in fact a lot better even though the anime does still hit more emotionally
I much prefer the mangas version of ui. Goku is aware he’s in the state and he remember how to activate it on his own. Saying “it’s not easy” is implying he knows how to keep it and it’s not easy to do. Also how quickly he realises how to master the form makes Goku a genius and much more admirable like Z Goku. Anime Goku just gets destroyed and uses it afterwards. In the manga when he first activated it,he charged foward with a cocky smirk on his face. The slight show of emotion evaporated the aura and he got smacked. Gokus quick learning really is Showed in the manga and proves why he is a martial arts master.
Exactly I really love the way he was just able to calm and do it naturally showing how far he has come but then people will be upset for cabba reaching ssj even though they are still Saiyan but probably evolve differently from being from a different universe
@YOSH_DONEALREADY goku sacrificed his life to keep the earth safe. He said himself that most of the danger on earth is because he is there so he doesn't wanna be revived. And secondly he took his son and forced him to fight when he isn't a fighter. Albeit it was necessary to protect earth, but he also is parent present in his 2nd sons life even after the revival
This is amazing. So much better than the anime. It wastes no time on the lesser battles and weaker combatants, but also, the arc itself feels more like a setup for the future of the series rather than a climactic final battle. Kefla’s power-scaled infinitely better here, being on par with Gohan, and Ultra Instinct felt a lot more like a new technique that Goku was barely able to tap into and utilise, making it feel much less like an asspull of a transformation which just miraculously surpasses Jiren in the short time frame of the tournament. Instead, Goku and Vegeta don’t even manage to “make a dent” in Jiren at all, and I love this. It shows Goku still has a lot to learn, setting up their inevitable rematch. And the fact that Roshi was the one that led to Goku tapping into UI shows that he isn’t just some fodder old man; he actually still has a place in the story and is able to connect Goku back to his roots with the Turtle School. The whole thing’s just great.
I heavily disagree that it's better the anime, especially on the "much" part like yeah certain changes were welcome but I feel like the manga cuts so much that it makes it so much less grand, like we all complained about how much characters like Roshi did and in the Manga Krillin is out immediately While kale's character is a welcome improvement, Cabba's role being reduced to being a straight man between Caulifla and Kale and then getting kicked out after putting Potara on Kale's ear and the general forced fusion between the girls is just...just feels wrong, I rather have Kale be mid then have her be good but have 2 characters be sacrificed in the process also the scale somehow feels smaller, the tournamet feels like it's basically U6 vs U7 rematch for half of it and the rest is to fill up space, then everyone is just out Also I feel like anime setting up characters and team up makes the conclusion and later parts of the arc hit much more then straight up just going to the climax with little to no build up, like with UI
@@husariuspl117Yup. And the fact that the match-ups are randomized ruins certain moments. I believe Krilin and Tien knocked out at least one competitor in the anime before they got eliminated, with Android 18 and Master Roshi taking down more. There's no scene where Gohan felt bad for that one guy with his amulet left on the battlefield. Top and Dyspo were absolute frauds, they didn't get to show their strength in the anime, and Jiren's defeat felt anti-climactic.
I think for this story, it would have been important to mention that the two Zeno's planned to get rid of most universes as they were playing that chess-like game because they couldn't count. They were so sinister about the whole thing that they initially planned to only have 2-3 remaining with the royal guards and the grand priest watching in shock and fear. Son Goku showed just in the nick of time and they discarded the idea in favor of the tournament. Pretty significant plot point and in complete contrast with the anime, which painted Son Goku as the enemy of all universes for his idea to hold the tournament.
At the beginning when beerus was play fighting with vegeta, i feel like a unique character opportunity for vegeta was missed here. After getting slammed into the ground by THE GOD OF DESTRUCTION, you survived. Think about that. The one entity you once revered to be stronger than both the likes of frieza and majin buu (both of which killed him) one who you wouldn't dare challenge nor question the power of. and now here you are. Tanking a hit directly to the face from him THAT. IS. INSANE. How could he not laugh at the absurdity. Its just like that time he and trunks were training in the gravity room and vegeta bet if he could hit him then they'd go to the park.
Several moments from this arc had me wondering about Vegeta's ultimate fate... will he take the job as God of Destruction when he and Kakarot are finally at that level, or will life with Goku have changed him so much that he just lives life out as a family man?
I like the Manga version of TOP. and seeing alternative versions that Super has done. but I feel overall, the Anime did it better, especially in the second half of the tournament. Goku vs Kefla was one of the best things I have ever seen in dragonball. And of course the MUI goku vs jiren, Vegeta Final explosion against Toppo, The namekian battles, and of course the best thing in my opinion, The team up of goku frieza and 17 against jiren at the end. That was a chefs kiss to dragonball.
I love thr manga in how it was more exclusive. But i also appreciate the anime for letting specific characters like Toppo shine cause that Destroyer Mode was epic!
Both versions of the TOP are so good. Even though its hard for me to like DBS due to Goku's flanderization (seriously, why are they writing him like he's a toddler), the deep storytelling and awesome fights bring me back so many times.
As for Goku's writing, I believe it's the duality that was also brought to GT, simply reversed, as that old feel of OG Dragon Ball was demanded from the fandom Since a serious Goku in his kid body didn't please, they gave us the opposite, Adult Goku with a kid's mindset on general life
@@bathyste4560 That makes sense. Though I wish this was just a reboot in that case. It's hard to believe that this is the same Goku who grew wiser as the series continued. Do you remember how wise and cool he was in the Buu saga? And he still had goofy moments that felt so Goku. Then Super makes him immature and ironically dumber but still tries to build off all that character development.
i remember the reason why goku became dumb was because since super was catered to a younger audience, they decided to make sure that audience watches goku learn things again, by making him dumber. and from what i remember it wasn't toei, toyotaro or anyone else who made that decision, but Akira toriama. i might be wrong. they could have done that without making goku dumb maybe make sure goku knows the skills that he knew from z and og db, and the gods can teach him that he can Improve on those skills even more kinda like what they did with ultra instinct
@@suckerhat toei dialed it back more than akira toriyama wanted. toei marketed the anime more for younger new fans, while the manga, he was def dialed back from buu saga it was no where near as bad
16:30 I love that Beerus tells Shin not to argue with Bulma. It seems like a sign of respect towards her. That or he didn’t want her going of on Shin lol.
The manga one actually feels like it's 40 mins or at least closer to it. Many battles are happening at once. I do like the end bit where Frieza and 17 made up a plan that succeeded a bit more than what happened in the anime. I don't like the negligence of krillin and tien. Krillin is like one of the first eliminated in this version. The weak characters here are weaker than they were in the anime. I liked gohan vs kefla (mainly because I feel like there's no way 2 saiyans who had just gotten ssj forms fused together should stand a chance against the main pure saiyans of u7). I liked Jiren's story here a bit better.
In my opinion, this was 10000 times better than the anime. The way sacrifices were made to help Goku along was just an amazing way to get him to where he needed to be. Rossi standing up to the literal STRONGEST opponent in the whole tournament, to Goku LEARNING how to use the technique, rather than powering up to it like it was a form. This, was a W
Wow❤🎉 This is my first time hearing of the TOP arc from the manga and I say it's quite different from the anime. Kale going on a rampage. Jiren refusing to help Dyspo and Top and the story just having an overall better plot.👍🏾❤️😊 Great video and we hope to see great videos. (P.S. great video featuring Cage)❤
@@burritocat4391 yeah but it's different. In the anime she did go on a rampage but was knocked out of her berserker state by Jiren. And as Justin said in the video, she was on the rampage but it all stopped when she fused with Caulifla to become Kefla.
The manga ending was better than the anime ending but still can’t decide which version i like more. I like details that were in the manga that i wish was in the anime and vice versa
It actually makes every character in U7 more reliable and useful in the Manga than they are in the anime. Roshi being the reason for Goku achieving UI, Frieza managing to eliminate Jiren along with Goku. Krillin being the very reason for 17 to join the tournament, and 17 wishing everyone back.
TOP power has been one of my favorite Dragon Ball arcs anime wise, the manga kind of left a lot for me to be desired the first time I read it. The main issue I had is I wanted to see the other fighters another time to shine, instead of getting eliminated right off the bat. I think that's the main thing that made me sour throughout. But looking at this a second time around thanks to you guys, really does make me appreciate The story the second time around.
4:49 This part here is overlooked by many because Goku actually gave a lot of universes a chance to survive with ToP instead of just being erased out of existence just because the Omni King felt like it.
Personally i think the buildup to the actual top is better in the manga (exhibition matches and recruitmwnt) but the anime did the actual top better (battles wise and giving ither fighters more focus) cuz everyone else is fodder unless they're main in the manga but the anime did a better job exploring em Thanks for this review been looking forward to it
Gohan my boy Gohan! One big criticism I’ll have for the manga is that they do an even worse job at utilising the different characters. Everyone is fodder except the main ones. Some people get knocked out far too early!
From what I know of the TOP in the anime, this is significantly better. The pacing, the power scaling, the characters no one gives a shit about, all of it. There are maybe two moments I can think of that are iconic in the anime and didn't happen here. It makes me want a proper manga adaptation of Super
I wondered why Krillin got yelled at in the anime when he took out like 3-4 people… But he really didn’t do anything in the manga. 😂 Tien didn’t either! And Frieza betraying them both? 😪 And Frost not retaliating and getting instantly deleted, I think the anime did it better for him😂
the two things i think the Anime has in its Favor is giving Toppo his God of Destruction time and more people being useless Fodder(which in turn made someone else shine brighter), with almost everything else i like the Manga more, its not a pure Saiyan show where Goku fights againts most bigger threats, Gohan gets his time to shine against Kefla and Roshis 'Fight' against Jiren is still one of my favorite moments of the whole Tournament. Ultra Instinct (especially Sign) looking less Bulky than in the Anime, which makes more Sense. Kales Rage actually doing something and her not beeing as Meek (i actually hated her in the Anime, Love her in the Manga)
I love kale in manga to, Her personality feels more natural and logical, She is loyal with caulfe, and knows how to do basic fighting, her rage is really a threat, the anime version is really stupid She's obsessed with caulife, coward doesn't even know how to fight, and just screams like stupid non even fun. Manga kale🔥 anime kale 🤮
bro i thank you from the deepest part of my heart for this video, i saw it all in one go and it truly delivered, never thought I'd have the chance to "read" the manga version of the TOP but thanks to you that's different, for one last time thank you.
@@justinsden After seeing first how Goku unlocked UI, how he mastered ultra instinct, frieza and goku fighting together in the anime the manga fell short for me.
I absolutely love how Beerus was the one making the most sense when they were gathering fighters for the tournament and how Friza is scared of Beerus and complying with Goku because of him
I'm fascinated by the changes the manga made though there are aspects I like more in the anime e.g. goku & jiren's interaction & how he went ultra instinct initially & learning more about it through his fights. I'm surprised toppo didn't go his god of destruction mode that would have made sense why he's a candidate you see? 😂
I really wish they would have added the Xeno Exhibition from the manga to the anime. I, personally, think it may be one of the coolest parts in Dragon Ball manga as a whole. Seeing the Gods of Destruction all try and gang up on Beerus and him basically holding them all back. Kinda a missed opportunity, would have been pretty damn cool to see animated. What we did get in the anime. Mmm, I guess it's not the worst of all time, but no where near as incredible. Except maybe the Gohan fight. That one was kinda cool. 😎
I feel like im the only person on the planet who prefers the manga version of this arc over the anime version. No matter where I go on the internet, people always insult me and call me an idiot for daring to prefer this version.

also the scale somehow feels smaller, the tournamet feels like it's basically U6 vs U7 rematch for half of it and the rest is to fill up space, then everyone is just out
Also I feel like anime setting up characters and team up makes the conclusion and later parts of the arc hit much more then straight up just going to the climax with little to no build up, like with UI
@@husariuspl117Yup. And the fact that the match-ups are randomized ruins certain moments. I believe Krilin and Tien knocked out at least one competitor in the anime before they got eliminated, with Android 18 and Master Roshi taking down more. There's no scene where Gohan felt bad for that one guy with his amulet left on the battlefield. Top and Dyspo were absolute frauds, they didn't get to show their strength in the anime, and Jiren's defeat felt anti-climactic.
I think for this story, it would have been important to mention that the two Zeno's planned to get rid of most universes as they were playing that chess-like game because they couldn't count. They were so sinister about the whole thing that they initially planned to only have 2-3 remaining with the royal guards and the grand priest watching in shock and fear. Son Goku showed just in the nick of time and they discarded the idea in favor of the tournament. Pretty significant plot point and in complete contrast with the anime, which painted Son Goku as the enemy of all universes for his idea to hold the tournament.
At the beginning when beerus was play fighting with vegeta, i feel like a unique character opportunity for vegeta was missed here. After getting slammed into the ground by THE GOD OF DESTRUCTION, you survived. Think about that. The one entity you once revered to be stronger than both the likes of frieza and majin buu (both of which killed him) one who you wouldn't dare challenge nor question the power of.
and now here you are. Tanking a hit directly to the face from him THAT. IS. INSANE.
How could he not laugh at the absurdity. Its just like that time he and trunks were training in the gravity room and vegeta bet if he could hit him then they'd go to the park.
foreshadowing to ultra ego??? possibly?? ik its a stretch but if you consider the situation it makes some form of sense
Several moments from this arc had me wondering about Vegeta's ultimate fate... will he take the job as God of Destruction when he and Kakarot are finally at that level, or will life with Goku have changed him so much that he just lives life out as a family man?
@@tristan8940He almost missed the tournament of Power to be there when Bura was born, I think he'll reject it if he was asked
I like the Manga version of TOP. and seeing alternative versions that Super has done. but I feel overall, the Anime did it better, especially in the second half of the tournament. Goku vs Kefla was one of the best things I have ever seen in dragonball. And of course the MUI goku vs jiren, Vegeta Final explosion against Toppo, The namekian battles, and of course the best thing in my opinion, The team up of goku frieza and 17 against jiren at the end. That was a chefs kiss to dragonball.
I love thr manga in how it was more exclusive. But i also appreciate the anime for letting specific characters like Toppo shine cause that Destroyer Mode was epic!
43:07
The unspoken rizz of Krillin is clearly unmatched
Roshi’s final lesson is my favorite moment in TOP
Both versions of the TOP are so good. Even though its hard for me to like DBS due to Goku's flanderization (seriously, why are they writing him like he's a toddler), the deep storytelling and awesome fights bring me back so many times.
As for Goku's writing, I believe it's the duality that was also brought to GT, simply reversed, as that old feel of OG Dragon Ball was demanded from the fandom
Since a serious Goku in his kid body didn't please, they gave us the opposite, Adult Goku with a kid's mindset on general life
@@bathyste4560 That makes sense. Though I wish this was just a reboot in that case. It's hard to believe that this is the same Goku who grew wiser as the series continued. Do you remember how wise and cool he was in the Buu saga? And he still had goofy moments that felt so Goku. Then Super makes him immature and ironically dumber but still tries to build off all that character development.
@@drewalexander6024 I know dude, I know
i remember the reason why goku became dumb was because since super was catered to a younger audience, they decided to make sure that audience watches goku learn things again, by making him dumber.
and from what i remember it wasn't toei, toyotaro or anyone else who made that decision, but Akira toriama.
i might be wrong.
they could have done that without making goku dumb
maybe make sure goku knows the skills that he knew from z and og db, and the gods can teach him that he can Improve on those skills even more
kinda like what they did with ultra instinct
@@suckerhat toei dialed it back more than akira toriyama wanted. toei marketed the anime more for younger new fans, while the manga, he was def dialed back from buu saga it was no where near as bad
16:30 I love that Beerus tells Shin not to argue with Bulma. It seems like a sign of respect towards her. That or he didn’t want her going of on Shin lol.
The manga one actually feels like it's 40 mins or at least closer to it. Many battles are happening at once. I do like the end bit where Frieza and 17 made up a plan that succeeded a bit more than what happened in the anime. I don't like the negligence of krillin and tien. Krillin is like one of the first eliminated in this version. The weak characters here are weaker than they were in the anime. I liked gohan vs kefla (mainly because I feel like there's no way 2 saiyans who had just gotten ssj forms fused together should stand a chance against the main pure saiyans of u7). I liked Jiren's story here a bit better.
Frieza and 17 carried U7 in both manga and anime
The manga UI version has better build up. Goku remembering his masters is a nice touch too
In my opinion, this was 10000 times better than the anime. The way sacrifices were made to help Goku along was just an amazing way to get him to where he needed to be. Rossi standing up to the literal STRONGEST opponent in the whole tournament, to Goku LEARNING how to use the technique, rather than powering up to it like it was a form. This, was a W
Lore: Muscles make you slower.
Jiren: I am gonna pretend I didn't hear that.
Broly: I am gonna pretend i didn't hear that.
Trunks: I wish I can pretend I didn’t he that TvT
Manga Kale: Bet
Can’t wait for everything from 21st tournemt to cell sagas and everything else in super
I got you bro 🔥💯
Yes you are right 😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
Wow❤🎉
This is my first time hearing of the TOP arc from the manga and I say it's quite different from the anime.
Kale going on a rampage. Jiren refusing to help Dyspo and Top and the story just having an overall better plot.👍🏾❤️😊
Great video and we hope to see great videos.
(P.S. great video featuring Cage)❤
I appreciate you watching! I got more on the way!
Kale did go on a rampage in the anime tho😭
@@burritocat4391 yeah but it's different. In the anime she did go on a rampage but was knocked out of her berserker state by Jiren. And as Justin said in the video, she was on the rampage but it all stopped when she fused with Caulifla to become Kefla.
Not gonna lie, seeing Frost pop off on universe 9 was something I didn’t know I had to see. Even if he was tricked into using all his power.
I love that they gave more respect to gohan in the manga
Facts
Damn I never realised how different the manga and anime are, it’s so cool to see the different paths
Lets go! THANK YOU JUSTIN! SIGN UP FOR THE PATREON!
YESSIRRR. I APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT BRO
18:30 that actually makes me like Jiren a bit more. He never wanted to fight because he knew others were gonna get erased
For a supposed quiet 7yrs after the defeat of Kid Buu, DBS sure retconned all of that.
For a majority of the earth it was unlike it was with the saiyans, cell & buu the rest of the earth knew about nothing going on in super
Uhhh Moro literally invaded, became the earth, and almost destroyed it
This made me appreciate the anime even more. Thank you!
I have a feeling the ToP is going to be the Frieza saga of Super. Maybe not the best arc of the series, but definitely the most important.
The manga ending was better than the anime ending but still can’t decide which version i like more. I like details that were in the manga that i wish was in the anime and vice versa
Some people just make up a perfect version in there mind
Manga did Krillin and Tien so dirty
I love how goku gets mui so quick and doesnt need the spirit bomb to push him to ui level
It actually makes every character in U7 more reliable and useful in the Manga than they are in the anime.
Roshi being the reason for Goku achieving UI, Frieza managing to eliminate Jiren along with Goku. Krillin being the very reason for 17 to join the tournament, and 17 wishing everyone back.
TOP power has been one of my favorite Dragon Ball arcs anime wise, the manga kind of left a lot for me to be desired the first time I read it.
The main issue I had is I wanted to see the other fighters another time to shine, instead of getting eliminated right off the bat. I think that's the main thing that made me sour throughout.
But looking at this a second time around thanks to you guys, really does make me appreciate The story the second time around.
Yes but the 48 minutes are not respected, the manga one respects more the time limit.
@@furizasan4331still doesn’t make it better than the anime
Honestly the Manga has some cool concepts but the Anime was better Written
@@StevenJones851it indeed was not
@@StevenJones851 no it was the anime was kinda dumb with it
Thanks again for having me on bro, this was a great collab!! 🔥🤝
Glad to have you bro! That was an amazing collab!
Fire
Big fan !!
Buu cool
Fuck it why half of the time his voice is too bad
The video is ruined for me
Your a w UA-camr
I love these, I was going to read it myself but it is so much better this way. Also your voice is perfect for this.
Thank you man. That means a lot!
It’s crazy how much different this is than the anime. It feels like a whole retelling of the story and I love it
Kale was an absolute menace to society in the manga version that's for sure
Why is Kale so badass in the manga but in the anime she can’t knock anyone out if her life depended on it
4:49 This part here is overlooked by many because Goku actually gave a lot of universes a chance to survive with ToP instead of just being erased out of existence just because the Omni King felt like it.
Sick recap and editing. Thanks you two!
Personally i think the buildup to the actual top is better in the manga (exhibition matches and recruitmwnt) but the anime did the actual top better (battles wise and giving ither fighters more focus) cuz everyone else is fodder unless they're main in the manga but the anime did a better job exploring em
Thanks for this review been looking forward to it
No worries bro. I appreciate you watching!
I love it, thank you. I noticed you’re using the classic Dai no Kai or Dragon Quest, which is genius. Thumbs up 👍🏾
Solid video foolie. Manga version of UI/MUI will always be my favorite variant. Maybe, when BT4 comes out, UI/MUI has the blue shirt custume! 🫡
Much appreciated bro! Manga version is definitely tuff, and Im excited for the possibilities of BT4!
Jeez the manga is so much better I had no idea
I thought only one piece manga were goated but this is up there
Gohan my boy Gohan!
One big criticism I’ll have for the manga is that they do an even worse job at utilising the different characters. Everyone is fodder except the main ones.
Some people get knocked out far too early!
I love the fact that there's music from Chrono Trigger playing in the background. Well done, bro
Loved the whole thing and thank you for doing it but…wtf with the massive VOICE CHANGE on the 1:14:36 mark?! 😂😂
These kinds of videos,by you and some other youtubers made me change my mind on the manga,and now i am thinking of buying it
This is incredible!! I can't wait to see the rest of the summaries
Thank you! I got more coming!!
My absolute favorite reviewer. I love your breakdowns. Absolutely stellar as always.
From what I know of the TOP in the anime, this is significantly better. The pacing, the power scaling, the characters no one gives a shit about, all of it. There are maybe two moments I can think of that are iconic in the anime and didn't happen here. It makes me want a proper manga adaptation of Super
The anime gave a lot of characters time to shine the manga left out a lot of people. Heck Tien, Krillin, Roshi, and Piccolo did worse.
well editted, goodjob! :D
Thanks! 😄
I wondered why Krillin got yelled at in the anime when he took out like 3-4 people… But he really didn’t do anything in the manga. 😂
Tien didn’t either!
And Frieza betraying them both? 😪
And Frost not retaliating and getting instantly deleted, I think the anime did it better for him😂
He took only 1 person from the ring by himself in anime
In your belief theme was perfectly put to Kale. What an amazing video
Wow, thank you!
I think this is an arc that is legitimately much better in the anime than the manga
Yeah, because most of the characters In the manga was done dirty.
The only ones done right were gohan and roshi.
@@exxoloki8390I agree, I think Gohan should’ve been vs Kefla in the anime and the master Roshi moment is just amazing
This video is amazing already it’s great your recaps are really good
Im so glad you like them! I really appreciate you!
No problem I like db and I like your videos a lot
Those robbers really thought they was doin sum tryna rob my mans🤣. Love the video bro💯🔥🔥
Thanks man! 🔥
the two things i think the Anime has in its Favor is giving Toppo his God of Destruction time and more people being useless Fodder(which in turn made someone else shine brighter), with almost everything else i like the Manga more, its not a pure Saiyan show where Goku fights againts most bigger threats, Gohan gets his time to shine against Kefla and Roshis 'Fight' against Jiren is still one of my favorite moments of the whole Tournament. Ultra Instinct (especially Sign) looking less Bulky than in the Anime, which makes more Sense. Kales Rage actually doing something and her not beeing as Meek (i actually hated her in the Anime, Love her in the Manga)
I love kale in manga to, Her personality feels more natural and logical, She is loyal with caulfe, and knows how to do basic fighting, her rage is really a threat, the anime version is really stupid She's obsessed with caulife, coward doesn't even know how to fight, and just screams like stupid non even fun. Manga kale🔥 anime kale 🤮
@@happyblue4940 Kale was Timid with a temper and actually learned to control her legendary super saiyan and evolve it.
Wow I just realized how different the Manga and the animated show really is!!!!... bro they really are different af!!!😮😮😮
I love your videos they’re great can’t wait for more
Thank you bro! I got more coming soon!
These videos are really helpful for when I forgot most of the arc
Glad to hear it man
there's no way lmao , i was just working on the T.O.P arc lmao. beat me to it. ggs. amazing vid man
I appreciate you bro!
I just appreciate that jiren actually tried to win the tournament instead of just mediating for 90% of the time.
Bro your cotent is si amazing 👏 ❤
Thank you so much! ❤️💯
Such a well made series, Its gonna be hard without akira. Rip Akira, may he rest🕊️
Goated as always
I appreciate it bro
bro i thank you from the deepest part of my heart for this video, i saw it all in one go and it truly delivered, never thought I'd have the chance to "read" the manga version of the TOP but thanks to you that's different, for one last time thank you.
You’re so welcome bro! I really thank you for your support of the channel, and Im glad you enjoyed the video!
Subscribed !! My god this mad genius 🧠 ACTUALLY F*ckin did it ! Literally about to call of work on 3rd shift smoke a blunt and watch this 🐺 👑
LOL THANK YOU MAN! THAT MEANS A LOT!
I love the use of asuras wrath soundtrack in the video
I personally think that justin is one of the best dragon ball youtubers
I really appreciate you bro. That means the world to me ❤️🔥
Let's goooo! Another amazing video from Justin
Thank you bro! Ma boy C.A.G.E is amazing too! 🔥💯

Frieza got his ahh beat by two legendary super saiyans in two different universes lmaooooo
I love dragon balll!!!!!
Thank you for this great video
Thank you!! ❤️
I love the asuras wrath music in the back
Ngl the anime made this arc way better with their creative choiced with the story.
I think some aspects of the manga are better, but the anime did better with MUI.
@@justinsden After seeing first how Goku unlocked UI, how he mastered ultra instinct, frieza and goku fighting together in the anime the manga fell short for me.
I absolutely love how Beerus was the one making the most sense when they were gathering fighters for the tournament and how Friza is scared of Beerus and complying with Goku because of him
I like how Gohan was the one who defeated Kefla
i will never forget goku surfing on keflas ult
those 3 different angles of point blank kamehameha still lazered in my head
I'm fascinated by the changes the manga made though there are aspects I like more in the anime e.g. goku & jiren's interaction & how he went ultra instinct initially & learning more about it through his fights. I'm surprised toppo didn't go his god of destruction mode that would have made sense why he's a candidate you see? 😂
I really wish they would have added the Xeno Exhibition from the manga to the anime. I, personally, think it may be one of the coolest parts in Dragon Ball manga as a whole. Seeing the Gods of Destruction all try and gang up on Beerus and him basically holding them all back. Kinda a missed opportunity, would have been pretty damn cool to see animated. What we did get in the anime. Mmm, I guess it's not the worst of all time, but no where near as incredible. Except maybe the Gohan fight. That one was kinda cool. 😎
This is a first time seeing the manga and I’ll be honest think this is better than the anime
I love these Videos Bro!!!
Keep It UP!!!
Thank you bro!!!
Love the video. Didn't know how different the Anime and Manga is.
Thank you! They definitely ARE different. Appreciate you watching!
I feel like im the only person on the planet who prefers the manga version of this arc over the anime version. No matter where I go on the internet, people always insult me and call me an idiot for daring to prefer this version.
I like the manga's version of events in Super more than the anime.
