Unpopular opinion: I actually like the way Rageta's asspull power up aura looks.

It's because this franchise is stale and tired at this point, and it constantly repeats the same tropes over, and over, and over again. Vegeta will always be yearning to surpass Goku, Goku will always be nothing more than a battle junkie, etc. Because this franchise is also incapable of decent character writing at this point.

I agree, pretty much. It's like how I said before: the series has basically already offered everything which has to offer... so to contiue the story from a point in which most characters seem already as developed as they could, they have to ignore the character's development and make them regress. Forgot how this is called... Deus Ex Machina? Nah, don't think so.

Anyway, manga is still trash to me.

How many Power Ups does Jiren have in the Manga?

Only 3 so far... I think.

1.- Increase against Hit.
2.- At some point he increased his power gigantically, going from being inferior to Kefla LSSJ to being completely superior to Goku PSSJB Pseudo Kaioken.
3. When he was going to face UI Goku.
4.- At the end of chapter 40.

It's a homage mengs. No-one was in Toei's facking case when they shot-for-shot redid the Freeza Genki-Dama thing from the Freeza Saga were they?

And not like AT didn't do the same thing with Nappa and Recoome.

This is all approved by AT, so 2018 AT would probably do the same if he was the one writing. Booyah.

Toyo is unexperienced. There's a lesson to be learned on hiring a fan artist based on how well they can mimic a style.

Tbf DB Minus makes Super look good and it's illustrated by :troll

Minus is a bonus chapter of Jaco the Galactic Patrolman. And Jaco the galactic patrolman is easily the best modern dragon ball product.

I'm speaking artstyle wise. DB Minus' art style is far more deviant from that of the OG 42-volume manga than Super or the Yamcha spinoff.

While the art may be different from the original, I'd argue that it's still far better than Toyo's style, which is just a cartoony version of Toriyama on a good day. Toriyama's still far more experienced, and skilled than Toyo is by a gigantic margin. Jaco the Galactic Patrolman's art beats the pants off Toyo's art, in everyway.
