Manga: Dragon Ball Super

[DarthEnderX]

I've been using the anime thread for Dragon Ball Super to discuss the differences between the anime and the manga of which there are quite a few. But I decided to make a thread here to start doing that.

I'll repost a few of my posts from the anime thread on the subject:

On the manga front of differences from the anime(spoilers for the manga, even though it's behind the anime):

They make it clear that Black didn't have access to any of Goku's powers when he first took his body, and the only way for him to gain them was through the Saiyan Zenkai powerup. Which is why Trunks was left alive so long. He'd let Trunks almost beat him, then leave and have Zamasu heal him.

They also mention that Goku and Vegeta's bodies have both already reached the limits of what Zenkai powerups can do for them. They don't get stronger when they almost die anymore.

Also, Goku doesn't stupidly forget the Senzu beans in the manga. Zamasu just destroys them after Goku uses one.

There's also an entirely new subplot about how Trunks survives that day fighting Black and Zamasu alone while Goku is learning the Mafuba.

The manga continues it's trend of making Goku a little less comically stupid than the anime.

He actually kept the Mafuba Jar in a Capsule, so it doesn't end up getting destroyed with the Time Machine. And when the time comes to seal the jar with the tag, he accidentally brought a coupon from Master Roshi instead of the spell tag. Which is still pretty stupid, but not quite as much.

Also, Vegeta actually uses his base SSJ God form against Black. A form the anime has never even shown us.

In the Manga, Fusion Zamasu doesn't do the weird slime thing when he takes damage. He's fully immortal just like Zamasu was before. Which is how it should have been.

They've also introduced a new twist where Zamasu's fusion will only last an hour, because the earring fusion is only permanent for Supreme Kais, and Zamasu never officially became a Supreme Kai. So because he's just completely immortal, they're basically just trying to draw out the fight until he unfuses.

Supreme Kai also makes a comment about Vegetto Blue's power being greater than Beerus'.

And now, Chapter 24

---

This chapter has a fairly significant difference. It mentions how all attendants of a Supreme Kai have healing abilities, and it's revealed that Trunks was made the Supreme Kai's attendant just before he fought Dabura in the future. So he had healing abilities that he wasn't even aware of until the Supreme Kai offhandedly mentioned it.

Zamasu also has cool portal abilities he didn't have in the anime.
