  • Good podcast

    I don’t find anything about this podcast especially surprising to me but I think it’s the best dragon ball podcast out there since there aren’t any options. If your looking specifically for a dragon ball podcast, great! If not, then not great.

Q: Why does DragonBall Super come out in V-Jump instead of Weekly Shonen Jump?
DragonBall Super is in V-Jump because the author Toyotaro started there, and V-Jump was designated for sequel series and spin-offs, especially since Toyotaro wasn't able to handle weekly serialization.
