Still doesn't change the fact that this was the best arc of DBS, I would still say it's better than both Naruto and Bleach.
Of course this was the best arc of DBS. Shit on Naruto and Bleach of course! Lawddd If zamasu didn't had that emo Gaara form, I would put him up there with sephiroth! Dude was a clutch ass villain.

Who watches Dragon ball for the deep embellished story and complex plots? Dragon Ball is about muscular aliens with badass transformations, who fighting to the death while protecting humanity in the form mind-blowing fight sequences. It literally doesn't get much deeper than that. I could care less about a few retcons.

Eh, there were like three separate instances where Gohan's "Hidden Power" was released. It's like every time he needed a power-up to become relevant, the series just pretended that Gohan hadn't already tapped into that power.

Then there's Goten/Trunks going Super Saiyan at such a young age; Toriyama wanted them to be relevant, but logically there's no way that their power-level should have been that high.

Also, Saiyans growing stronger from near-death experiences (including self-inflicted wounds like Vegeta's during the Frieza Saga)... why not just constantly hurt each other and eat Senzu?

Dragon Ball has always just made shit up as it goes along. It doesn't follow a rigid set of rules. Even the means of awakening SSG is pretty similar to Trunks' recent power-up; out basically combined that with the spirit bomb. And gaining power through emotion has always been a thing since at least SS1.

Trunks was always going to land the final blow; this is his arc, despite Goku/Vegeta sharing the spotlight.
To become relevant? Your assumption is from only one point of view, a childish one. Gohan was naturally born stronger than Goku and his hidden potential was no secret at all. Goten and trunks was probably given the SS naturally without need of training because the breeds potential seemingly increases by generation. I have nothing against that from my aspect, the saiyans get senkai boosts because they are saiyans. The longer they fight the stronger they become, they are a warrior race.

The SSG awakening is not to be related to this ridiculous asspull that trunks did, lmao how exactly do you define Trunk's emotional spirit bomb as logical? First, the spirit bomb can only be used by those who mastered the technique not by just automatically getting the feeling of it. And akira clearly was out of his mind when he chose to end it like that, the genkidama(spirit bomb) is meant to be gathered by a fighter when you request the energy. Trunks did not utter a word, and yet the energy was flowing from the people for no reason.

"gaining power through emotions" is heavly exaggerated by akira, i accept and understand how a emotion triggers the legendary saiyan transformation. And emotional power ups are common in saiyans, BUT there is no logical reason for trunks massive power increase when he fought zamasu black. Seriously? how can someone expect me to belive such rapid change. Trunks did not train as harsh like Vegeta nor Goku did but he still pulled off that BS. If that's akira's way to make someone relevant in DBS and heroic then i'm doubting his memory.

HxH has always been worse than the entire Dragon Ball franchise/anime.

Hey buddy. Remember me? You basiclly called me a fool for coming up with that theory of zamasu's immortality fading away. XD
Well i had my reasons, a fact showing that Vegeta And Goku used the potara earrings the first time while vegeta being death. I thought the potara would do the effect same with this immortal and mortal body fusion, i guess akira did not choose that route.

You like to keep up with the spam game? Huh a funny and ironic response. You only proved how far below worth your dear franchise is below dragon ball.
Sure, if you mean better in lame powerup changes (hair color changes), lack of story depth, asspulls, inconsistent power levels wank, lack of thought put into fights, little character development, etc. In that regard, Dragon ball Super is better....much better.

The franchise, especially more so with Super is mostly adored by people blinded by nostalgia. It's complete garbage. Even after the whole recap...

Dragonball super was, "RIP" when it started.

So dragonball series is complete garbage because of petty personal complaints? Typical. I must be the only one that knows the REAL problems with it.

The entire Dragon ball franchise story & power scale pales in the face of HxH.

I feel this way despite loving DB my whole life & only finding out about HxH earlier this year. That speaks volumes in and of itself.

I dont think it was an asspull. Trunks pretty much used Genki-Dama unconciously it wasn't a FT type asspull. The asspull was that Vegito unfused like that...I mean wtf Potara was supposed to be permanent. Akira clearly doesnt stick to his story but simply changes the rules when it seems convenient. Honestly if you're going to change the rules it would've been better from the get-go to instead of making Potara "permanent" it would simply last until the earrings are taken off. Zamasu got lucky because Vegito was wiping the floor with him.

The Juubito fight was just them combining their powers it had nothing to do with the power of friendship. People can pull together their strength to accomplish something without it being a massively dumb and illogical asspull like Trunks' random powah of hoomans sword.
