Thank you for your love and support. All 56 of you :> it gives me motivation to keep posting,at least on this blog. I feel free to be myself and love what I do. Truly it means a lot. I might do something special if we ever reach 100 follows. But until then we’ll continue to have fun with my redraws and oc hoarding while my phone overheats. It can’t handle it I guess 😂 or it’s garbage.

Sooooo...Black Frieza.... ooookay......?

Don't get me wrong. I love Frieza. He's my all time favorite villain in Dragon ball, he is a very interesting character of course I would always say yes to more Frieza. And I absolutely LOVE how he's back to being LORD Frieza, once again a real threat in the recent DBS chapter. I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR IT

But... but can we get a different design now? Really toyotaro..? Just color changes again?? Did you really just-

I know I'll eventually grow fond of this form like I did with Ultra ego, but come on, Black is a real good color on him he could've had a much cooler threatening design. Remember when Frieza had 4 different looks every time he powered up in the good old Namek saga

At this rate we'll run out of every color on the palette soon- who knows maybe in chapter 149 we'll get Flower patterened Frieza fighting SSJ Ultimate Vegetable or whatever

....Okay I'll actually watch the hell out of that, but you know what I mean something new other than color schemes will be nice

¡Hola, soy Goku!

here he is, goku

Chapter 59 of the Dragon Ball Super manga demonstrated something I really really like about Dragon Ball Super, specifically the anime (but now seemingly the manga, starting with the end of the ToP) - it brought back technique into the fights.

Not so much BoG or RoF, but the U6 tournament was a great start for that.

Most of the Z portion of the story became about just punching really hard with maybe lone exceptions here and there, but however simple, the U6 fights introduced strategy back into the fights.

In the anime version Goku ringing out Botamo, Vegeta dealing with inconvinient conditions in the Mageta fight, Piccolo using his techniques against Frost and Frost using trickery himself and Hit having to be figured out before he can be beaten showed that.

The Future Trunks arc stepped back from that a little, but we still at the very least had the Mafuba brought up and the ToP went in there full force with ultimately teamwork (the team-up between Freeza, 17 and Goku) and technique (Ultra Instinct) being the main players that won it all.

Krillin's couple of victories came from smarts and teamwork. Roshi's contributions were almost entirely technique-based. Gohan and Piccolo were excellent team strategists. Caulifla and Kale/Kefla literally lost because Goku was so much more experienced and skilled and Jiren almost lost to Krillin's Destructo Disc. This goes for several other fights.

This not only fixes much of the monotony of the fights, it also brings the story back on track thematically.

It already does this by making the weaker members' progress worth something more than it was for a long time (making it so hard work pays off for everyone, not just the saiyans) - even Tenshinhan eliminated someone when he was ringed out (in the anime at least).

I think it still could be better in terms of side character contribution, but that's much much better to me than most of the Z portion of the story to me.

In addition to that, though, this says power isn't everything, which is a massively important part of what the story is actually about: self-improvement and also martial arts. You can grow in many ways: to be a better person (Vegeta and Piccolo), to be a more confident or braver person (Gohan) or to gain direction, patience and skill (Goku).

The Broly movie follows that principle in fun show-don't-tell ways: Goku's fighting being much more technical than Vegeta's and Gogeta's delibrate and skillful fighting being a strong contrast to Broly's mindless power.

The story has slowly been moving back into where it started and this fight with Moro is a further return to that: after several fights that were power vs. skill, this is now a fight of skill vs. skill.

Moro's magical technique that blocked Goku's hands, his illusion technique and his telekinesis with which he pulled Goku towards him offered some great ideas in this fight to counter UI.

UI's weaknesses and effectiveness are also appropriate and smart to me.

I have wondered how UI could counter Moro's energy absorption for a while now, but it being speedy enough so that Moro can't lock on Goku's energy is logical and smart.

It needing a lot of energy is a typical handicap, but not necessarily a bad one.

What I do like is that it sets up Goku for a natural loss, not a forced one to possibly just set Vegeta on a pedestal.

Him possibly winning still reeks of Toyotaro's favoritism of Vegeta and I personally don't see anything that would add to Vegeta's character - a character's value is always in what substance their moments have rather than the scale of their moments or whether they win or lose in my eyes, so I don't particularly care for that, but as said, I 100% appreciate to return to more technique-based fighting and this whole chapter is exactly that.

I wish the art backed the ideas much better, but I think it's still just a really good fight.

Perfection takes time… At least that’s what I’m telling myself! Which is ironic, as the ‘Demon of Namek’ project will be far from perfect. But there is some good news! There has been progress with the scripts. Please enjoy this little taste of what is to come.

More updates on this project, and others, soon.

Hello! I just wanna say your drawings of Frieza are simply amazing! I don’t know if you take requests, but would you be willing to draw Frost too?

I haven't met Frost yet but he seems like a nice boy so here's the chilly squad featuring Cooler
