History Manga / DragonBallSuper

** Zigzagged by Frost. He fares a lot better against Super Saiyan Goku in the manga, even if it's clear Goku is still stronger. However, he does overall worse against Piccolo who comes close to overpowering him, where in the anime Piccolo stood ''no'' chance against Frost even after Goku weakened him and had to outsmart him.

** Future Trunks, who in the ''Super'' manga is more powerful than his anime counterpart. In the anime, Future Trunks is about as powerful as Super Saiyan 2 Goku and Vegeta in the Buu Saga if we used his fight against [[spoiler:Future Dabra]]. Manga Trunks has a [[spoiler:mutated Super Saiyan 2 form that is almost on par with Super Saiyan 3 Goku]]. Instead of using Super Saiyan 3 to knock Trunks out, Goku uses Super Saiyan God. Also, [[spoiler:he trained with the Supreme Kai and pulled the Z-Sword. Even better, he fights Dabra with it, before he [[SuperSpit spits]] on it and shatters it, killing Old Kai]].

* WarriorVersusSorcerer: The Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga has the Saiyan warriors Goku and Vegeta fighting the evil KungFuWizard Moro.

* WeakButSkilled: Future Zamasu possesses [[TheMedic healing]], materializing matter, telekinesis, allowing him to fight the stronger Goku on par.

An interesting observation regarding the manga is its status as optional by the franchise. For example, current ''Dragon Ball'' videogames have mostly adapted characters and moments from the ''Super'' anime branch, with very few exceptions. The manga, by contrast, has only been used if a specific character doesn't have enough references for their movements to adapt.

The manga version of ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'' is serialized monthly in ''V-Jump'', with its story by Creator/AkiraToriyama and illustrations by Creator/{{Toyotaro}} (who previously created the ''VideoGame/DragonballHeroes'' spin-off manga ''Victory Mission''). As ''Anime/DragonBallZResurrectionF'' was adapted in ''V-Jump'' just prior to the start of ''Super'', the manga begins with the ''[[Anime/DragonBallZBattleOfGods Battle of Gods]]'' arc before skiping into to the "Champa" arc.

* TookALevelInJerkass: Goku's ''Super'' manga portrayal when it comes to Gohan's lack of training. In the anime, Goku is understanding and sympathetic to Gohan not wanting to train and fight, even going as far as supporting Gohan when he says he can't go to the tournament since he has a conference the same day. In the manga, Goku voices disappointment and is dismissive towards Gohan being part of the Universe 7 team, going as far as calling Gohan a little shit when Videl tells him that Gohan had a conference and couldn't watch the tournament.

* AdaptationalIntelligence:
** Inverted with [[spoiler:Goku Black's]] manga incarnation. He is more likely to grab the IdiotBall such as not killing Future Trunks after he's weakened from fighting Future Dabra and actually spares Trunks' life again because he wants to keep fighting him, while anime Black is far more [[CombatPragmatist pragmatic]] and [[NoNonsenseNemesis no-nonsense]] since he tries to kill Trunks every chance he gets and even traps him in the past by [[spoiler: destroying the Time Machine]]. However, sparing Trunks is justified: [[spoiler:much like Captain Ginyu, this version of Black couldn't access anywhere close to all of Goku's power at first, requiring him to use the saiyan race's innate CameBackStrong abilities to tap into it by having Trunks injure him and being healed by Future Zamasu in turn.]]
** Zigzag. In the manga, Gowasu is far more aware that there is something wrong with Zamasu. He notes while Zamasu's fighting skills are top-notch, his personality needs work. In the anime, Gowasu knows about the conflict in Zamasu's heart about mortals and the role of the gods, but thinks that if giving time and enough guidance Zamasu will come to understand his role as a Supreme Kai. At the same time, manga Gowasu seems to have only chosen Zamasu as his successor based on his [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority fighting power]] and almost nothing else, something Whis lampshades. In fact, Gowasu is blindsided by how much Zamasu hates mortals and doesn't understand his role as an upcoming Supreme Kai. In the anime, while Zamasu's power is a factor, Gowasu seems to have chosen Zamasu mostly because of his pure-heart and strong sense of justice, which are good qualities to have in a Supreme Kai. Where anime Gowasu messed up is that he doesn't seem to be aware of PureIsNotGood and BlackAndWhiteInsanity.
** In the anime, when Zamasu mutates into Infinite Zamasu as a result of his immortality, he has become an AlmightyIdiot and isn't capable of speech aside from mad laughter or fear when he is about to get erased by Zen'o. In the manga however, he still retains his sanity and is still capable of speech even when he mutates into his Infinite form [[note]]Which in this version, is basically him duplicating himself into multiple Fused Zamasus[[/note]], even point blank declares to Goku that he could TimeTravel to the past when they tried to ran away and upon seeing Zen'o, [[HorrifyingTheHorror he showed complete fear and ran away]] as he and his armies are about to be erased from existence.

The manga version of the ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'' story (also an anime) serialized monthly in ''V-Jump'', with its story by Creator/AkiraToriyama and drawn by Creator/{{Toyotaro}}, who previously created the ''VideoGame/DragonballHeroes'' spin-off manga ''Victory Mission''. As ''Anime/DragonBallZResurrectionF'' was adapted in ''V-Jump'' just prior to the start of ''Super'', the manga skips from the Battle of Gods arc to the Champa arc.


An interesting observation regarding the manga is its status as optional by the franchise. With very few exceptions, the videogames will mostly adapt characters and moments from the anime incarnation. The manga, by contrast, will only be used if a specific character doesn't have enough references for their movements to adapt.

* AdaptedOut: The manga completely skips over the Resurrection 'F' Saga, but the events that occurred within it are brought up from time to time. It was likely skipped due to already being adapted into manga form by the same author prior to ''Super''.

* AdaptationDistillation: The ''Super'' manga to the TV series due to it being a monthly publication:
** It cuts down or abridges some of the details from the anime while adding some scenes that are not in the show, such as the birthday cake incident, the Supreme Kai and Kibito defusing earlier, and Champa being seen much sooner.
** The manga completely skips the Resurrection 'F' arc, going straight to the Champa Saga after the Battle of Gods Saga.

** Vegeta seemingly gets hit with this in the ''Super'' manga adaptation of the Universe 6 arc. In the anime, Goku and Vegeta are statically equals. Goku only manages to surpass Vegeta because he can combine [[spoiler: Super Saiyan Blue with the Kaioken and can take it up to times ten]]. In the manga, Vegeta not only loses to Hit as rapidly as in the anime but it's revealed that Goku is able to dominate Hit using Super Saiyan God, a form which Vegeta has never shown he could access and that is markedly weaker than Blue. Subverted in this arc as it's revealed that Blue has a major stamina weakness and using it multiple times reduces its power to only about 10% of normal. Further averted in the Goku Black and Universal Tournament arcs. Vegeta not only shows he can use Super Saiyan God but develops a way to shift between God and Blue a huge number of times in order to bring out the best in both forms. While Goku gains the upperhand by completing Blue, allowing him to compete if not defeat Merged Zamasu, their equilibrium is restored in the next arc when Vegeta masters the form as well.

* AwesomeButImpractical: Super Saiyan Blue in the manga version of ''Super''. Overall, it comes off as more powerful than its anime counterpart in raw strength, but it comes at the cost of being a major energy drain to the point that you lose 90% of your power if you transform too many times and its full power can only be maintain for a short time. It is basically a more powerful version of Super Saiyan 3. When Goku does master the form by keeping his energy within himself, he becomes so powerful that he can fight [[spoiler: Merged Zamasu]] on almost equal footing. However, this causes a rapid breakdown in Goku's body making this form similar to [[spoiler: Super Saiyan Blue/Kaioken]] from the anime.

* BlackComedy: It's revealed that the Future Pilaf Gang made their wish for youth just before Piccolo died to the androids, and Bulma and Gohan were rushing to use the wish to revive everyone killed by the androids. Although the subject matter is dark and cruelly ironic, the chapter is PlayedForLaughs and the final shot is baby Pilaf and the others trying to escape, while Gohan cries in the background over the inert Dragon Balls.

* CompressedAdaptation: The manga finished the entire Beerus and Super Freeza arc in ''4 chapters''. In fact, the Resurrection F events weren't even shown, and only told through narrative text. This is likely so they could get to the Champa arc more quickly and the same author already did a compressed telling of ''Resurrection 'F'''.

** In Chapter 14, just before Future Trunks makes his return to the present, Bulma just happens to be messing around with time travel for makeup products, for some reason. Jaco is there to tell her the dangers of time travel and split timelines. On the side, we see Trunks and the Pilaf gang's teacher talking about time travel and how drastic different timelines can be. Future Trunks also returns when everyone happens to be at Capsule Corp [[spoiler: celebrating their victory over U6]].
** Also on the day Future Trunks comes to the present, the Supreme Kai of U7 happens to be visiting U10. Zamasu congratulates the Supreme Kai and Kibito for defeating Majin Buu, saying how much he admires them (keep in mind, Kid Buu died over five years ago at this point). The Supreme Kai corrects him, saying it was actually a bunch of mortals who killed Buu. This disturbs Zamasu since he never thought mortals could surpass gods.
** Chapter 18 of the manga runs on contrived coincidences where everyone figures out Black's origins thanks to [[spoiler: Zamasu specifically asking Zuno if it was possible to switch bodies with a mortal using the Super Dragon Balls. This allows Trunks to figure out that Zamasu must have traded bodies with Goku after speaking with Kibito, who Goku decides to ask about Black (who sparred with Zamasu in an earlier chapter) for no real reason. Whis also has a picture of Goku Black, somehow, and guessed that he's a Supreme Kai based on his different color earrings and correctly figures out that Zamasu learned from Goku from the U6 tournament]].

* CosmicHorrorReveal: The series drops into this, following the revelation of the existence of gods. The very first one, Beerus, is a foe of such magnitude that the heroes are only able to amuse him and make him change his mind. And then it's revealed that there are much stronger gods than Beerus, until the all-powerful [[TopGod Zen'o]] himself, whose presence sends other gods quaking in fear and his whims are laws. If he wants something, you better give him that lest he obliterates your universe in a tantrum. Nothing is more apparent than the Tournament of Power arc. Just to begin, did you lose? Say goodbye to your universe!

* DemotedToExtra: Many of the Tournament of Power participants who had a memorable or important role in the anime count, but for the earliest part of the saga Krillin counts on team U7. His status as the first eliminated member of team Universe 7 came as a huge shock, after getting a whole well-received mini-arc about him regaining lost strength and resolve, not to mention going down after taking out several opponents on his own. Here, the instant the starting formation he and the rest of team U7's more cautious half formed breaks, he's knocked out of the ring by Frost without a chance to do anything. Tien, too, is eliminated that same chapter by Frost, but his role was barely any larger (amounting to one KO Roshi needed to assist on, and a second that he needed to end up taking himself down to finish) and involved a lot of IdiotBall.

** Because it only has so many pages to convey information over a month, any plot details are often dumped into long dialog boxes between characters. It's to the point that character development gets sidelined in favor of long lines of info, with the characters some times repeating themselves or the same info being said in a different way by another character: like Jaco explaining why time travel is dangerous and then having Trunks' teacher repeat the same information with a more detailed example.

* RetCanon: Despite being advertised as a sequel to the original ''Manga/DragonBall'' manga, it contains elements from the animated continuity, such as Bulma and Future Trunks having blue hair rather than purple, Namekians having five fingers instead of four, Gregory becoming a CanonImmigrant, and Goku mentioning the anime-only name of his childhood home, Mount Paozu.

** Future Trunks, who in the ''Super'' manga is more powerful than his anime counterpart. In the anime, Future Trunks is about as powerful as Super Saiyan 2 Goku and Vegeta in the Buu Saga if we used his fight against [[spoiler:Future Dabra]]. Manga Trunks has a [[spoiler: mutated Super Saiyan 2 form that is almost on par with Super Saiyan 3 Goku]]. Instead of using Super Saiyan 3 to knock Trunks out, Goku uses Super Saiyan God. Also, [[spoiler:he trained with the Supreme Kai and pulled the Z-Sword. Even better, he fights Dabra with it, before he [[SuperSpit spits]] on it and shatters it, killing Old Kai]].

** Zigzagged: While he's weaker than [[spoiler: Goku Black]] in both mediums, the manga gives [[spoiler: Future Zamasu]] all of Kibito-Kai's abilities like telekinesis, the [[HealingHands ability to heal others]], and the ability to paralyze the movements of others. He used these to easily freeze [[spoiler: Goku during their fight]]. At the same time, the manga portrays him as a weaker fighter compared to the anime version, being taken down by Goku and resorting to his [[spoiler: immortality almost immediately]] whereas in the anime he can still fight and inconvenience Goku in an 1-on-1 fight for a while, and even hold down Goku and Future Trunks simultaneously. In fact, according to Goku, he's way weaker than even Super Saiyan 2 Trunks and he gets overwhelmed by Super Saiyan God Goku after he used the [[spoiler: Evil Containment Wave]].

** In the anime, when Zamasu mutates into Infinite Zamasu as a result of his immortality, he has become an AlmightyIdiot and isn't capable of speech aside from mad laughter or fear when he is about to get erased by Zen'O. In the manga however, he still retains his sanity and is still capable of speech even when he mutates into his Infinite form [[note]]Which in this version, is basically him duplicating himself into multiple Fused Zamasus[[/note]], even point blank declares to Goku that he could TimeTravel to the past when they tried to ran away and upon seeing Zen'O, he showed complete fear and ran away as he and his armies are about to be erased from existence.

** Beerus is much harsher towards Gowasu in the manga about choosing Zamasu as his successor. In the anime, he simply tells Gowasu to choose his students more wisely after Gowasu apologizes for everything that has happened. In the manga, Beerus not only tells Gowasu to picks his students better, but threatens to ''destroy'' him if this happens again or at the very least beat the crap out of him. Also, when he confronts Zamasu in the anime he refuses to act despite all the evidence since he needed more hard proof of wrongdoing since Zamasu is the successor of a Supreme Kai from another universe. To that end he lets [[spoiler: Zamasu kill Gowasu and has Whis rewind time]], giving Zamasu the benefit of the doubt. In the manga, once U7's Supreme Kai confirmed that he [[spoiler: messed up Future Trunks' world, he declares that he can destroy him]], while adding that he didn't really need a reason since he's a God of Destruction. He also doesn't bother to explain to Gowasu what's going on with Zamasu before [[spoiler:killing him]].

* CosmicHorrorReveal: The series drops into this, following the revelation of the existence of gods. The very first one, Beerus, is a foe of such magnitude that the heroes are only able to amuse him and make him change his mind. And then it's revealed that there are much stronger gods than Beerus, until the all-powerful [[TopGod Zen'O]] himself, whose presence sends other gods quaking in fear and his whims are laws. If he wants something, you better give him that lest he obliterates your universe in a tantrum. Nothing is more apparent than the Tournament of Power arc. Just to begin, did you lose? Say goodbye to your universe!

** [[spoiler: Merged Zamasu is utterly stomped by Vegito Blue. The only reason why he isn't killed is because of his immorality]].

** Merged Zamasu also fits this trope as when [[spoiler:Goku almost kills him with an incomplete version of Beerus' Destruction technique, he proceeds to portal out and grab Future Mai as a human shield, distracting Goku enough for Zamasu to take him out of the fight. He's also pretty cocky and smug when he corners the heroes in his infinite form, but when Goku summons Zen'Oh, he and the rest of his clones pretty much shit themselves on the spot and spend their last moments running for their lives in terror]].

* PetTheDog: Despite being an angel that normally doesn't care about their God of Destruction, Kampari spared Ea and Mosco from Zen'O's wrath by falsely translating that Mosco is excited that the Tournament of Power is happening soon (In actuality, Mosco is outraged at the short time frame it takes to gather enough fighters for the tournament, something that Ea thoughtlessly repeat).

** Future Trunks, who in the ''Super'' manga is more powerful than his anime counterpart. In the anime, Future Trunks is about as powerful as Super Saiyan 2 Goku and Vegeta in the Buu Saga if we used his fight against [[spoiler: Future Dabura]]. Manga Trunks has a [[spoiler: mutated Super Saiyan 2 form that is almost on par with Super Saiyan 3 Goku]]. Instead of using Super Saiyan 3 to knock Trunks out, Goku uses Super Saiyan God. Also, [[spoiler: he trained with the Supreme Kai and pulled the Z-Sword. Even better, he fights Dabura with it, before he [[SuperSpit spits]] on it and shatters it, killing Old Kai]].
** [[spoiler: Future Dabura]] in the ''Super'' manga is far more impressive than his anime counterpart. [[spoiler: Not only did he kill Kibito and the Supreme Kai of the future, but he broke the Z-Sword by spiting on it, turning it to stone, and then shattering, killing Old Kai who was still trapped, which indirectly killed Beerus since his life is linked with the Supreme Kais. Future Trunks only won because the Supreme Kai used the last of his strength to hold Dabura down so Trunks could kill him]].

** From what little we hear from Future Trunks, the anime version of the Supreme Kai isn't that different from his present counterpart. He's more successful stopping Buu thanks to Trunks not fooling around like his [[ArrogantKungFuGuy father]] and [[IdiotHero Goku]]. In the manga of ''Super'', he fought with Trunks against Dabura and [[spoiler: he made Trunks into a Supreme Kai disciple, which allowed Trunks to gain healing powers (although he didn't know).]]

** Chapter 16 tells what happens during Future Trunks' struggle to prevent Majin Buu's awakening. Trunks trains with the Z-Sword and takes out Pui Pui and Yakon off-screen. [[spoiler: Kibitio dies, making Trunks ascend to Super Saiyan 2, the Z-Sword is destroyed by Dabura, killing Old Kai, the Supreme Kai is fatally injured and eventually dies of his injures, but not before he holds down Dabura, giving Trunks the killing shot. Since all the Supreme Kais are dead, Beerus also dies. Goku Black is also watching all of this from the distance]].
** The manga shows Black earning his [[spoiler: Super Saiyan Rose]] form. He started off with a standard [[spoiler: Super Saiyan 2 transformation]] and battles Vegeta, who kicks his butt and [[spoiler: have to be saved by Future Zamasu]]. Taking advantage of the Saiyans' ability to grow stronger from near-death, he becomes stronger and is able to beat back Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta with just his [[spoiler: Saiyan Saiyan 2]] form. To show off his evolution, he transforms into his [[spoiler: Super Saiyan Rose form]].

** From what little Future Trunks tells us in the anime, the Supreme Kai's role is the same as his present counterpart, coming to Earth to warn about Majin Buu's revival. This is not the case with Future Supreme Kai in the manga, [[spoiler: who made Trunks into a Supreme Kai disciple, which allowed him to gain healing powers]].
** Frost and Frieza's VillainTeamUp subplot during the tournament of power's early part receives more focus, revealing that [[spoiler:Frieza himself suggested that Frost target Krillin, Tien, and Master Roshi. In the anime, there was nothing particularly special about his role in the elimination of the first and third on that list, simply being portrayed as U6's TokenEvilTeammate doing what he does best.]]

** Inverted with [[spoiler: Goku Black's]] manga incarnation. He is more likely to grab the IdiotBall such as not killing Future Trunks after he's weakened from fighting Future Dabura and actually spares Trunks' life again because he wants to keep fighting him, while anime Black is far more [[CombatPragmatist pragmatic]] and [[NoNonsenseNemesis no-nonsense]] since he tries to kill Trunks every chance he gets and even traps him in the past by [[spoiler: destroying the Time Machine]]. However, sparing Trunks is justified: [[spoiler:much like Captain Ginyu, this version of Black couldn't access anywhere close to all of Goku's power at first, requiring him to use the saiyan race's innate CameBackStrong abilities to tap into it by having Trunks injure him and being healed by Future Zamasu in turn.]]

** Beerus is much harsher towards Gowasu in the manga about choosing Zamasu as his successor. In the anime, he simply tells Gowasu to choose his students more wisely after Gowasu apologizes for everything that has happened. In the manga, Beerus not only tells Gowasu to picks his students better, but threatens to ''destroy'' him if this happens again or at the very least beat the crap out of him. Also, when he confronts Zamasu in the anime he refuses to act despite all the evidence since he needed more hard proof of wrongdoing since Zamasu is the successor of a Supreme Kai from another universe. To that end he lets [[spoiler: Zamasu kill Gowasu and has Whis rewind time]], giving Zamasu the benefit of the doubt. In the manga, once U7's Supreme Kai confirmed that he [[spoiler: messed up Future Trunks' world, he declares that he can destroy him]], while adding that he didn't really need a reason since he's a God of Destruction. He also doesn't bother to explain to Gowasu what's going on with Zamasu before [[spoiler: killing him]].
** Champa and Vados are more villainous in the ''Super'' manga compared to the anime. In the manga, Champa gives Sorbet the idea to revive Frieza just to troll Beerus when no such thing happens in the anime. There is also no mention of the birthday cake incident where Vados set up Beerus and Champa to fight, which leads to several planets being destroyed. Champa is also overall nicer, treating Goku and Vegeta with some degree of respect and even shares food with them.
** [[spoiler: Present]] Zamasu gets a few:

*** This is also reflected in his fighting style. Manga Black fights more like a brute, is more aggressive, and his eyes as a [[spoiler: Super Saiyan Rose has a dark outline like Majin Vegeta]]. He also prefers to beat his opponent down with pure force instead of using a specific style. In comparison, Black in the anime fights with an air of elegance and indifference which is reflective in his [[spoiler: Super Saiyan Rose form]] that is drawn more refined and ethereal even compared to [[spoiler: Super Saiyan Blue]]. He is also more flamboyant, talking about how beautiful his [[spoiler: Super Saiyan Rose is]], and he tends to go for quick critical hits instead of just beating his opponents into submission.

** Hit is also not spared in the same manga chapter. In the anime, Hit was on par with Super Saiyan God Goku, although he was overwhelmed once Goku learned how to counter his [[spoiler: time-skip]]. That is until Hit improved and [[spoiler: increased the time so he can freeze time, forcing Goku to use the Kaioken to counter it. Even then, it was an even match and Hit was holding back since he couldn't use any of his killing techniques. In the manga, Hit is overwhelmed by Super Saiyan God Goku and he doesn't improve. He has just been holding back and can only use his full power time-skip for a few minutes before burning out since he's out of practice, much like 100% Frieza on Namek]]. After Goku transformed into a Super Saiyan Blue, he has the match all but won, but forfeits since Hit can't use his killing techniques. Goku then tells Vegeta that he may have beaten Hit if he didn't waste so much energy with Cabba.
** Even Goku underwent this in the ''Super'' manga. The reason he can use Super Saiyan God at will now is because he never absorbed its power during the manga's adaption of ''Battle of Gods''. This also keeps Goku (and Vegeta) around the same level of power they were in the Buu Saga, because the manga skips over ''Resurrection 'F''' and the Base Goku vs. 4th Form Frieza fight. In Chapter 15, Whis indicates he's slightly weaker than Future Trunks while both are using Super Saiyan 2 and Trunks even outmatches Super Saiyan 3 Goku with his mutated Super Saiyan 2 form.
** Manga Black is far less impressive than his anime counterpart. His higher form appears to be [[spoiler: Super Saiyan 2]] and he gets his shit kicked in by Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta. Even worse, Super Saiyan 2 Vegeta can beat back his [[spoiler: Super Saiyan form]]. He would have died if [[spoiler: Future Zamasu]] hasn't intervened and healed him. Keep in mind, in the anime, Black in his base form was able to take hits from Vegeta at full power and not take any noticeable damage. Chapter 20 mitigates this and has Black curbstomp Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta and Goku in a similar fashion to his anime counterpart - by using his AdaptiveAbility to increase in power and surpass them. [[spoiler: He also gains Super Saiyan Rose, although he does take a downturn in his last fight where he doesn't grow stronger after Vegeta beats him to a barely living pulp, instead choosing to whine about it to Future Zamasu]].

*** Katopesla, who manages to endure attacks and humiliation from fighters like Frieza, Kale, Vegeta, Android 17, and the Pride Troopers, is one of the first eliminated in the opening chapter of the battle.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: While Zamasu in the anime starts out as a well-meaning Kai who has a very strict sense of justice and a strong distrust towards mortals, manga Zamasu was always a jerk since he wanted to kill mortals from the start, seeing them as unneeded beings. Unlike the anime version who [[SlowlySlippingIntoEvil slowly slipped into evil]] through a series of events, manga Zamasu gets triggered just seeing powerful mortals and decides [[spoiler: to kill his master and commit mass genocide]].
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: Future Trunks prevents Majin Buu's awakening, and kills Dabura and Babidi. However, Kibito and the Supreme Kai die in the battle, and the Z-Sword was petrified and broken by Dabura, killing Old Kai, which leads to Beerus' death since his life is directly linked with the Supreme Kais. To add further bitterness, Goku Black was watching everything, making sure that the Supreme Kai dies]].

* CallBack: Future Trunks [[spoiler: pulls the Z-Sword and practiced with, much like Gohan during the Buu Saga. He even wears Kai clothing like Gohan during that time. Dabura kills Kibito the same way he did in the main timeline. The Future Supreme Kai also binds Dabura, allowing Trunks to kill him, similar to what the Supreme Kai did to Super Saiyan 2 Gohan so Babidi's men could drain his energy]].

* CompressedAdaptation: The manga finished the entire Beerus and Super Frieza arc in ''4 chapters''. In fact, the Resurrection F events weren't even shown, and only told through narrative text. This is likely so they could get to the Champa arc more quickly and the same author already did a compressed telling of ''Resurrection 'F'''.

** Goku Black comes off as this since he brags about how he [[spoiler: murdered the gods while fighting Vegeta and how his word is now law. Goku points out that Black technically cheated since he didn't fight the Gods of Destruction and just killed the weaker Supreme Kais since their lives are linked. Black shoots back that the method doesn't matter]]. While Black in the anime did the same thing, he comes off less cowardly and more pragmatic since no one calls him out for 'cheating' and he didn't use the [[spoiler: death of the gods]] as a BadassBoast. Also in the manga, Black [[spoiler: chose Future Trunks' timeline because Beerus died thanks to Future Dabura killing all the Supreme Kais and Goku and the others are long dead, leaving no one powerful enough to stop him]]. Which makes Black look like a bully since he torments Trunks to get stronger, after he purposely avoided anyone who could challenge him. Black having a VillainousBreakdown as Vegeta beats him up highlights this trait. Also, when Gowasu and the U7's Supreme Kai saves Future Trunks and Mai, he becomes scared that they may tell Zen'o what happened, so [[spoiler: Future Zamasu]] and he are ready to flee into another timeline. In the anime, Black never mentions Zen'o, although it's unclear if he simply didn't [[FearlessFool fear]] Zen'o or he did't think he would interfere.

** In the ''Super'' manga, Champa is [[AdaptationalVillainy portrayed]] as this. While Beerus causes chaos on Earth during the Battle of Gods Saga, Champa is flying around with Vados searching for the Super Dragon Balls, and giving grief to Old Kai and the Supreme Kai who don't know what he wants. He also tells Sorbet to revive Frieza just to troll Beerus. In the anime, Champa doesn't even appear until the Resurrection 'F' Saga and he has nothing to do with Frieza or his revival.
** Also in the manga, [[spoiler: Goku Black was watching Future Trunks' battle against Future Dabura, making sure the Supreme Kai of U7 died along with Beerus]].

* HeroKiller: [[spoiler: Future Dabura kills Kibito, the Supreme Kai, and indirectly kills Old Kai by shattering the Z-Sword, which then indirectly kills Beerus since all the Supreme Kais in U7 are dead, making him one of the most successful villains in the series]].

** [[spoiler: Goku Black]] looks down on mortals and thinks they all deserve to be destroyed, yet he [[spoiler: steals Goku's body in order to attain a perfect form]].Even more, in the manga, he let mortals like Future Dabura and Babidi kill U7's Supreme Kai. Then, after Future Trunks flees the timeline and with all the gods in his time dead, [[BloodKnight he becomes bored without anyone to oppose him]] — just like how he and Zamasu believe mortals can't go on without war and destruction]].
** [[spoiler: Goku Black]] hates Vegeta because he finds him an arrogant prick. This is coming from the same person who bullied Future Trunks for over a year and rubbed his face in about him being weak. He also declares himself to be beyond any mortal after he obtained his [[spoiler: Super Saiyan Rosé form]].

** The manga also, unfortunately, gives one to [[spoiler: Goku Black]]. [[spoiler: In the manga, he was watching Future Trunks fight Future Dabura, making sure the Supreme Kai died in the battle, assuring that Beerus will also die because the Supreme Kais and the Gods of Destruction are link. The idiot part comes in that he leaves after Trunks kills Dabura, instead of taking out a weakened and hurt Trunks, assuring that he would have one less powerful enemy to deal with in the future. Given how [[CombatPragmatist pragmatic]] and [[NoNonsenseNemesis no nonsense]] Goku Black has shown himself to be, especially in the anime, his inaction against Trunks is out of character for him]]. The manga drew further contrast to the anime by Black telling Trunks to his face that he's keeping him alive to get stronger and even [[BondVillainStupidity spares Trunks when he has the chance to kill him]].

* RealityWarper: Much like Janenba, [[spoiler: Merged Zamasu]] can create warps in space to punch or kick someone from the distance.
* RedemptionRejection: Goku tries to get [[spoiler: Future Zamasu to used the Super Dragon Balls to reverse the damaged he's done]], but he refuses.
* {{Sadist}}: While [[spoiler: Merged Zamasu]] enjoys toying with Goku, Vegeta, and Future Trunks in the anime, he is downright brutal in the manga. Once he has Goku and Vegeta at his mercy after they [[spoiler: defused]], he slowly beats them up and mocks them. He personally sits on Vegeta's chest and plummets him until he loses consciousness.

** If it wasn't for the Future Majins, the Future Trunks Saga would not have happened in the way it did. [[spoiler: Dabura killing the Supreme Kai caused the God of Destruction to also perish (since their lives are linked), which then in turn was what led to Goku Black to invade the timeline, since he was only doing so for timelines without a God of Destruction]].

* SmugSnake: Goku Black comes off as a smug snake since he gives a long MotiveRant to Vegeta about how he's righteous because he's [[spoiler: a god]], while getting his butt kicked. He demands to know what era Vegeta came from to be so powerful and can't go no further than a [[spoiler: Super Saiyan 2]]. Vegeta would have outright killed him if [[spoiler: Future Zamasu]] didn't save him. Also, before then, he isn't happy to see Goku and Vegeta nor is he amused by how powerful they are, while in the anime, Black is [[DullSurprise little surprised]], but delighted to see Goku. He only starts acting smug again after he gains his [[spoiler: Super Saiyan Rose form and stomps Vegeta]]. In fact, the only real reason why he didn't get squashed like a bug in the wake of Vegeta and Goku and made it as far as he did was luck and little else.

* SuperMode: In the ''Super'' manga, Goku Black has a normal golden Super Saiyan form before he unlocks his Rose transformation.

* SuperSpit: Anything Future Dabura spits on turns to stone. He uses this to [[spoiler: break the Z-Sword, killing Old Kai in the ''Super'' manga]].

* TookALevelInBadass: Future Trunks states that originally Black had to go Super Saiyan against him when they fought. In time, he got so strong that Black didn't need to transform anymore. After getting his ass kicked by Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta, [[spoiler: he's able to beat Vegeta easily using only Super Saiyan 2. Then he reveals that he has Super Saiyan Rosé, his version of Super Saiyan Blue]].
* TookALevelInJerkass: Goku's Super manga portrayal when it comes to Gohan's lack of training. In the anime, Goku is understanding and sympathetic to Gohan not wanting to train and fight, even going as far as supporting Gohan when he says he can't go to the tournament since he has a conference the same day. In the manga, Goku voices disappointment and is dismissive towards Gohan being part of the Universe 7 team, going as far as calling Gohan a little shit when Videl tells him that Gohan had a conference and couldn't watch the tournament.

* UnskilledButStrong: Goku Black can only get as far as [[spoiler: Super Saiyan 2]] before getting a near-death experience by being beaten up by Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta, which boosted his power and allowed him to upgrade to his [[spoiler: Super Saiyan Rose form]].
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Future Dabura [[spoiler: kills all the Supreme Kais during his battle with Future Trunks to revive Majin Buu, which also kills Beerus since the Gods of Creation and the Gods of Destruction are linked. Goku Black was watching the battle and invades the timeline since Beerus was dead. This eventually leads to the destruction of the entire timeline, including Dabura's own Demon Realm]].

** Manga Black suffers a noticeable one after Vegeta goes Super Saiyan Blue and proceeds to beat the crap out of him, while giving him a vicious TheReasonYouSuckSpeech just like the anime. He had yet another one after Vegeta trained in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and beat him up as a Super Saiyan God (he was using the form to save energy while he 'attacked' as a Super Saiyan Blue like Goku's Kaioken from the Frieza Saga).

* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Champa and Vados appears in the ''Super'' manga months before they debut in the anime.

* HardWorkingHardlyWorks: Averted with Future Trunks, who has powered up to the point of being an even match for [=SSJ3=] Goku, only losing their sparing match because Goku used his god form.

!The ''Dragon Ball Super'' manga contains examples of:

* TakeThatUs: Goten calls Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Red, before Trunks corrects him.

* AdaptationalWimp: Nearly every fighter in the Tournament of Power gets hit hard with this. Notable examples are:
** Katopesla, who manages to endure attacks and humiliation from fighters like Frieza, Kale, Vegeta, Android 17, and the Pride Troopers, is one of the first eliminated in the opening chapter of the battle.
** Android 18 and the Maiden Squadron both had significant roles in the anime, but while Android 18 did fare a little better during the early parts, she and the girls get easily taken out by Gamisaras (or possibly even Damon).
** Kale gets a huge buff in the manga, at the expense of almost an entire fourth of the fighters. Her victims who were rather formidable in the anime include Darkori, Ganos, Anilaza, Zarbuto, Zirloin, Rabanra, Obni, Magetta, Pirina, and Saonel (keep in mind that almost all of these fighters were the LastStand of the respective universes that gave their opponents a tough fight, while Ganos himself proved to be quite a showdown for Roshi). Ironically enough, the Pride Troopers she fights afterwards give her more of a hard time.

** [[spoiler: Merged Zamasu's]] manga counterpart is even worse than his anime self. Much like in the anime, he could have easily killed Goku, Vegeta, and Future Trunks upon [[spoiler: fusing]], but choses to toy with them. ''Unlike'' his anime counterpart, he ''still'' screws around with them even after [[spoiler: Vegito Blue]] smashed him into the ground. What makes this even worse is that he knows that he has a [[spoiler: one hour time limit since he isn't a full Supreme Kai]], yet he still wastes time.

** Minor examples for Goku and Vegeta in the Future Trunks Saga:
*** In the anime, Vegeta wants to fight and kill [[spoiler: Goku Black]] because he [[spoiler: murdered his future wife]] and tortured his future son. He's also fighting for the sake of Trunks' world to the point that he states to [[spoiler: Goku Black]] that he isn't fighting for himself even after [[spoiler: Goku Black]] [[CurbstompBattle humiliated]] him. [[spoiler: Goku Black]] lampshades how this doesn't sound like a Saiyan and even deduces that Vegeta got stronger from righteous fury. Against [[spoiler: Merged Zamasu]], he willingly fights alongside Goku and even [[spoiler: fuses with him, although he says no at first and only relents when he learned that the Potara Fusion isn't permanent for mortals]]. In the manga, Vegeta wants to fight [[spoiler: Goku Black]] because he looks like [[spoiler: Goku]] and gets stronger to fight him again because [[spoiler: Goku Black]] kicked his butt after going [[spoiler: Super Saiyan Rosé]]. He also does his usual TrashTalk to [[spoiler: Goku Black]] while Vegeta in the anime was dead serious to the point that [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness everyone took note of it]]. Most of all, Vegeta in the manga never fights alongside Goku to the point that they actually take ''turns'' fighting [[spoiler: Merged Zamasu]]. He also absolutely refuses to [[spoiler: fused with Goku until he hears the Potara Fusion isn't permanent for mortals]] and Trunks gives a speech about why he can't let Vegeta die. Overall, anime Vegeta was willing to put aside his pride and fight for the sake of others. Manga Vegeta in comparison wasn't, at least until Chapter 24 where Vegeta asked Trunks to heal Goku since he was the only one who could fight [[spoiler: Merged Zamasu]] as an equal since he mastered Super Saiyan Blue. Trunks even notes how Vegeta swallowed his pride.
*** Goku in the manga never takes [[spoiler: Goku Black and Future Zamasu]] completely seriously despite everything they did. Even hearing that [[spoiler: Goku Black]] killed his [[spoiler: alternate self]] is treated with some humor. He gives [[spoiler: Future Zamasu]] several chances to walk away, while also mocking him for being a weakling who would lose to Future Trunks even with his [[spoiler: immortality]]. In the anime, while Goku does treats [[spoiler: Goku Black]] with some measure of respect, despite being disgusted by his mass destruction, he comes to despise [[spoiler: Goku Black and Future Zamasu]] after they bragged about how [[spoiler: Goku Black murdered him and his family after taking his body]]. After that, he offers ''no'' mercy and actually tries to kill [[spoiler: Goku Black]] when he's down.

** Goku Black comes off as this since he brags about how he [[spoiler: murdered the gods while fighting Vegeta and how his word is now law. Goku points out that Black technically cheated since he didn't fight the Gods of Destruction and just killed the weaker Supreme Kais since their lives are linked. Black shoots back that the method doesn't matter]]. While Black in the anime did the same thing, he comes off less cowardly and more pragmatic since no one calls him out for 'cheating' and he didn't used the [[spoiler: death of the gods]] as a BadassBoast. Also in the manga, Black [[spoiler: chose Future Trunks' timeline because Beerus died thanks to Future Dabura killing all the Supreme Kais and Goku and the others are long dead, leaving no one powerful enough to stop him]]. Which makes Black look like a bully since he torments Trunks to get stronger, after he purposely avoided anyone who could challenged him. Black having a VillainousBreakdown as Vegeta beats him up highlights this trait. Also, when Gowasu and the U7's Supreme Kai saves Future Trunks and Mai, he becomes scared that they may tell Zen'o what happened, so [[spoiler: Future Zamasu]] and he are ready to flee into another timeline. In the anime, Black never mentions Zen'o, although it's unclearly if he simply didn't [[FearlessFool fear]] Zen'o or he did't think he would interfere.

** [[spoiler: Merged Zamasu]] is utterly repulse by the idea of having to use Mai, a mortal, as a meatshield to save himself from Goku's of Destroy technique.

** Also in the manga, [[spoiler: Goku Black was watching Future Trunks battle against Future Dabura, making sure the Supreme Kai of U7 died along with Beerus]].

* HairTriggerTemper: Manga Black loses his temper very easily. He goes into rage just because Super Saiyan God Vegeta is smirking at him, saying how he hats that [[{{Hypocrite}} arrogant look]]. When Vegeta keeps easily dodging and hitting him, he starts screaming for him to stop smile.

** The manga also, unfortunately, gives one to [[spoiler: Goku Black]]. [[spoiler: In the manga, he was watching Future Trunks fight Future Dabura, making sure the Supreme Kai died in the battle, assuring that Beerus will also die because the Supreme Kais and the Gods of Destruction are link. The idiot part comes in that he leaves after Trunks kills Dabura, instead of taking out a weakened and hurt Trunks, assuring that he would have one less powerful enemy to deal with in the future. Given how [[CombatPragmatist pragmatic]] and [[NoNonsenseNemesis no nonsense]] Goku Black have shown himself to be, especially in the anime, his inaction against Trunks is out of character for him]]. The manga draw further contrast to the anime by Black telling Trunks to his face that he's keeping him alive to get stronger and even [[BondVillainStupidity spares Trunks when he has the chance to kill him]].
** The manga gives Black another one in the way that it doesn't explain why Black never wanted immortality. In the anime, Black doesn't want to be an immortal since he just wants power and losing the ability to die would eventually make him rusty and [[ChallengeSeeker battles no fun]]. While shortsighted, the reason why Black feels this way while none of his other counterparts share this view is because [[spoiler: [[TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody Goku's body corrupted him]] and he's taken on several of Goku's [[BloodKnight character traits]]]]. In the manga, Black acts more like his true self [[spoiler: Zamasu]]. Outside of having Goku's battle lust, he is still [[spoiler: basically Zamasu in personality]] so he should want immortality like [[spoiler: Future Zamasu]]. The manga not explaining or discussing Black's mindset on this matter makes him look like an idiot to the point that even [[spoiler: Future Zamasu]] indirectly throw spades at Black for [[spoiler: abandoning his godly body for power]].

** Because it only has so many pages to convey information over a month, any plot details are often dumped into long dialog boxes between characters. It's to the point that character development gets sideline in favor of long lines of info, with the characters some times repeating themselves or the same info being said in a different way by another character: like Jaco explaining why time travel is dangerous and then having Trunks' teacher repeat the same information with a more detail example.

* JerkassGod: [[spoiler:Merged Zamasu's]] manga counterpart take this to new levels when he declares that he will destroy everything that isn't him.

* KneelBeforeZod: [[spoiler: Merged Zamasu]] tries to get Goku and Vegeta to kneel before him as a god and beg for their lives. Both of them basically tells [[spoiler: Merged Zamasu]] to screw himself.
* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler: while Merged Zamasu's immortality is left intact, his fusion will only last an hour since he isn't a true Supreme Kai. He usurp the position when he killed Gowasu, something Vegito rubs his face in]].

** In Chapter 25 of the manga, Goku reveals that he knows Beerus' [[spoiler: Destroy technique]]. This comes out of nowhere since Goku has never even seen the technique in the manga, at least on scene.
** Future Trunks in the manga gets this since he has a mutated form of Super Saiyan 2 that makes him even with Super Saiyan 3 Goku [[note]]In the manga, Goku didn't absorb godhood. Instead, Super Saiyan God is its own form.[[/note]]. How did Trunks get this mutated version Super Saiyan 2 when all the other fighting geniuses didn't has no explanation other than he trained for it, somehow. The closest one can reason is that Trunks' Super Saiyan 2 is based off of Vegeta's rage Super Saiyan 2 form that he got after Beerus slapped Bulma. Even then, that was just a brief power-up and an explosion of rage. He also knows the Solar Flare, something he claimed that he learned from Gohan before he died. Except, we never see Gohan, future or present, ever used the Solar Flare. In fact, Gohan has never witnessed it in use since when Krillin performed it against Dodoria in the Namek Saga, Gohan's back was turned because he was flying away. Later, Trunks conveniently discovers that he can [[HealingHands heal people with his hands]] since he trained as a Supreme Kai's attendance when he was preparing to stop Babidi from awakening Majin Buu.
* NoChallengeEqualsNoSatisfaction: When [[spoiler: Future Zamasu]] suggests wishing for immortality on the Super Dragon Balls, [[spoiler: Goku Black]] dismisses the idea since he won't have anymore challenges and stop growing. He also needs to become stronger for the 'Zero Mortals Plan'. In the ''Super'' manga, he's closer to Cell and Super Buu in this regard. He only likes fighting people who can give him a reasonable challenged, but not actually beat him like Future Trunks. The moment he goes against a superior opponent, he has a [[VillainousBreakdown breakdown]].

* PlotHole: Gowasu explains that [[spoiler: Merged Zamasu's fusion isn't permanent since he wasn't officially a Supreme Kai. He usurped the position when he killed his versions of Gowasu]]. In the very next chapter after this statement is made, U7's Supreme Kai wishes he was still an apprentice Supreme Kai so he could heal. Gowasu tells him that if was still an apprentice he wouldn't have been able to use the Time Rings since only full-fledged Supreme Kais can use them. This contradicts Gowasu's previously statement that [[spoiler: Merged Zamasu wasn't a Supreme Kai since both Black and Future Zamasu could use the Time Rings]]. Unless Creator/{{Toyotaro}} explains this as only the Potara Earrings being needed to used the Time Rings or [[spoiler: Merged Zamasu doesn't defuse]], this one heck of an oversight.

** If it wasn't for Future Majins, the Future Trunks Saga would not have happened in the way it did. [[spoiler: Dabura killing the Supreme Kai caused the God of Destruction to also perish (since their lives are linked), which then in turn was what led to Goku Black to invade the timeline, since he was only doing so for timelines without a God of Destruction]].

* TakeThatUs: Goten calls Super Saiyan God, Super Saiyan Red, before Trunks corrects him.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Both Future Zamasu and Goku Black clearly do not like each other due to differing views on what they define as power but they reluctantly worked together in order to carry out their Zero Mortals Plan where Black murders any mortals that Zamasu could not do even with his immortality while the latter looked down on Black due to forsaking immortality for power. Indeed, when Goku and Vegeta managed to gain the upper hand on them, it caused them to briefly suffer from infighting before Black suggest that they fuse.

* TookALevelInJerkass: Goku's Super manga portrayal when it comes to Gohan's lack of training. In the anime, Goku is understanding and sympathetic to Gohan not wanting to train and fight, even going as far as support Gohan when he says he can't go to the tournament since he has a conference the same day. In the manga, Goku's voices disappointment and is dismissive towards Gohan being part of the Universe 7 team, going as far as calling Gohan a little shit when Videl tells him that Gohan had a conference and couldn't watch the tournament.

* TrashTalk: Manga [[spoiler: Goku Black]], however, talks crap to everyone, especially Vegeta. Funny enough, [[spoiler: Goku Black's]] battle record in the manga is much poorer than his anime counterpart.

* AdaptationDistillation: The ''Super'' manga to the TV series due to it being an monthly publication:

** In the Future Trunks Saga, [[spoiler: Goku Black]] never comes to the past. Instead, Zamasu learns about Goku indirectly from U7's Supreme Kai, who was visiting U10, when asked about Majin Buu. He then become obsessed with Goku after watching Godtube videos of him. Beerus and Whis learn most of their information about Black from Future Trunks and suspects that he's connected to the gods since he [[spoiler: murdered all the Supreme Kais to kill the Gods of Destruction, something that only high-leveled gods know]]. The entire mystery of Black's identity is condense into one chapter via InfoDump and the characters makes two trips to the past instead of the three like the anime. Vegeta's beat down of Black is also a combination of Goku's first match with Black from Episode 50 and Vegeta's third rematch with Black from Episode 63.
* AdaptationDyeJob: Bulma's hair is purple here, while it was blue in the ''Dragon Ball Z''.

** The manga shows Black earning his [[spoiler: Super Saiyan Rose]] form. He started off with a standard [[spoiler: Super Saiyan 2 transformation]] and battles Vegeta, who kicks his butt and [[spoiler: have to be saved by Future Zamasu]]. Taking advantage of the Saiyans' ability to grow stronger from near-death, he becomes stronger and is able to beat back Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta with just his [[spoiler: Saiyan Saiyan 2]] form. To show off his evolution, he transforms into his [[spoiler: Super Saiyan Rose]].

** Inverted with [[spoiler: Goku Black's]] manga incarnation. He is more likely to grab the IdiotBall such as not killing Future Trunks after he's weakened from fighting Future Dabura and actually spares Trunks' life again because he wants to keep fighting him, while anime Black is far more [[CombatPragmatist pragmatic]] and [[NoNonsenseNemesis no-nonsense]] since he tries to kill Trunks every chance he gets and even traps him in the past by [[spoiler: destroying the Time Machine]]. However, the sparing Trunks is justified: [[spoiler:much like Captain Ginyu, this version of Black couldn't access anywhere close to all of Goku's power at first, requiring him to use the saiyan race's innate CameBackStrong abilities to tap into it by having Trunks injure him and being healed by Future Zamasu in turn.]]
** Zigzag. In the manga, Gowasu is far more aware that there is something wrong with Zamasu. He notes while Zamasu's fighting skills are top-notch, his personality needs work. In the anime, Gowasu knows about the conflict in Zamasu's heart about mortals and the role of the gods, but thinks that if giving time and enough guidance Zamasu will come to understand his role as a Supreme Kai. At the same time, manga Gowasu seems to have only chose Zamasu as his successor based on his [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority fighting power]] and almost nothing else, something Whis lampshades. In fact, Gowasu is blindsided by how much Zamasu hates mortals and doesn't understand his role as an upcoming Supreme Kai. In the anime, while Zamasu's power is a factor, Gowasu seems to have chosen Zamasu mostly because of his pure-heart and strong sense of justice, which are good qualities to have in a Supreme Kai. Where anime Gowasu messed up is that he doesn't seem to be aware of PureIsNotGood and BlackAndWhiteInsanity.
** In the anime, when Zamasu mutates into Infinite Zamasu as a result of his immortality, he has become an AlmightyIdiot and isn't capable of speech aside from mad laughter or fear when he is about to get erased by Zen'O. In the manga however, he still retains his sanity and is still capable of speech even when he mutates into his Infinite form [[note]]Which in this version, is basically him duplicating himself into multiple Fused Zamasus[[/note]], even point blank declares to Goku that he could TimeTravel to the past when they tried to ran away and upon seeing Zen'O, he show complete fear and ran away as he and his armies are about to be erased from existence.

** Beerus' much harsher towards Gowasu in the manga about choosing Zamasu as his successor. In the anime, he simply tells Gowasu to chose his students more wisely after Gowasu apologizes for everything that has happened. In the manga, Beerus not only tells Gowasu to picks his students better, but threatens to ''destroy'' him if this happens again or at the very least beat the crap out of him. Also, when he confronts Zamasu in the anime he refuses to act despite all the evidences since he needed more hard proof of wrongdoing since Zamasu is the successor of a Supreme Kai from another universe. To that end he lets [[spoiler: Zamasu kill Gowasu and has Whis rewind time]], giving Zamasu the benefit of the doubt. In the manga, once U7's Supreme Kai confirmed that he [[spoiler: messed up Future Trunks' world, he declares that he can destroy him]], while adding that he didn't really need a reason since he's a God of Destruction. He also doesn't bother to explain to Gowasu what's going on with Zamasu before [[spoiler: killing him]].

*** A minor example. In the anime, when Zamasu slices the Babarian in half, he has a [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone shocked, almost horrified expression]] on his face. He is so ashamed that he doesn't try to defend himself when Gowasu tells him off, [[IgnoredEpiphany at least until later]]. His attack on the Babarian also come off as almost instinctual. In the manga, Zamasu not only purposely cut the Babarian in half, he did it with a SlasherSmile and seems shocked that Gowasu didn't approved of his actions. When Gowasu confronts him about this, Zamasu dismisses his concerns since 'that mortal was trash'. Later, [[spoiler: just before he tries to kill Gowasu]] he indirectly admits that his actions are evil, but they will [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans eventually lead to good]]. Manga Zamasu scoffs at the notion that anything he does is evil.

*** In the anime, Vegeta wants to fight and kill [[spoiler: Goku Black]] because he [[spoiler: murdered his future wife]] and tortured his future son. He's also fighting for the sake of Trunks' world to the point that he states to [[spoiler: Goku Black]] that he isn't fighting for himself even after [[spoiler: Goku Black]] [[CurbstompBattle humiliated]] him. [[spoiler: Goku Black]] lampshades how this doesn't sound like a Saiyan and even deduces that Vegeta got stronger from righteous fury. Against [[spoiler: Merged Zamasu]], he willingly fights alongside Goku and even [[spoiler: fuses with him, although he says no at first and only relents when he learned that the Potara Fusion isn't permanent for mortals]]. In the manga, Vegeta wants to fight [[spoiler: Goku Black]] because he looks like [[spoiler: Goku]] and gets stronger to fight him again because [[spoiler: Goku Black]] kicked his butt after going [[spoiler: Super Saiyan Rosé]]. He also does his usual TrashTalk to [[spoiler: Goku Black]] while Vegeta in the anime was dead serious to the point that [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness everyone took note of it]]. Most of all, Vegeta in the manga never fights alongside Goku to the point that they actually take ''turns'' fighting [[spoiler: Merged Zamasu]]. He also absolutely refuses to [[spoiler: fused with Goku until he hears the Potara Fusion isn't permanent for mortals]] and Trunks give a speak about why he can't let Vegeta die. Overall, anime Vegeta was willing to put aside his pride and fight for the sake of others. Manga Vegeta in comparison wasn't, at least until Chapter 24 where Vegeta asked Trunks to heal Goku since he was the only one who could fight [[spoiler: Merged Zamasu]] as an equal since he mastered Super Saiyan Blue. Trunks even notes how Vegeta swallowed his pride.
*** Goku in the manga never takes [[spoiler: Goku Black and Future Zamasu]] completely seriously despite everything they did. Even hearing that [[spoiler: Goku Black]] killed his [[spoiler: alternate self]] is treated with some humor. He gives [[spoiler: Future Zamasu]] several chances to walk away, while also mocking him for being a weakling who would lose to Future Trunks even with his [[spoiler: immortality]]. In the anime, while Goku does treats [[spoiler: Goku Black]] with some measure of respect, despite being disgusted by his mass destruction, he comes to despised [[spoiler: Goku Black and Future Zamasu]] after they bragged about how [[spoiler: Goku Black murdered him and his family after taking his body]]. After that, he offers ''no'' mercy and actually tries to kill [[spoiler: Goku Black]] when he's down.

** Black from the manga is quite difference from his anime counterpart to the point that they can be classified as different characters:
*** In the anime, Black is a SmugSuper that always stays calm and never loses his composure, even when he started to lose against Vegeta, and is a clear NoNonsenseNemesis who will kill his opponents swiftly if giving the opportunity. On the contrary, in the manga, he is more prone to lose his composure the moment things don't go his way, such as Goku and Vegeta appearing in the future, and he goes into a VillainousBreakdown when Vegeta gains the upperhand. He is also more prone to holding the IdiotBall, like him sparing Future Trunks for the sake of fighting him and to gain better control of [[spoiler: Goku's body]]. Basically, Black in the manga acts more like his true self, [[spoiler: Zamasu]] with Goku's [[BloodKnight battle lust]], while Black in the anime behaves more like a mixture of Goku [[spoiler: and Zamasu's]] personalities. Namely, Black has Goku's [[NervesOfSteel calmness]].
*** His demeanor is also different between the two versions. In the anime, Black wears a MaskOfSanity and [[FauxAffablyEvil acts polite]] to those he slaughters and demeans. He will also [[CombatCompliment compliment]] his opponent if they impressed him, although this is usually only reserved for [[WorthyOpponent Goku]]. Manga Black doesn't bother to hide how AxCrazy he is, openingly relishes in his sadism, and doesn't think highly of anyone except himself. Manga Black also tends to shout and is a bit of [[LargeHam ham]], while Anime Black is a SoftSpokenSadist who almost never raises his voice, and when he does it's on the ColdHam side. Another big different between the two is how they react to pain. Anime Black is a straight CombatSadomasochist who giggles and smiles when hurt since getting injured makes him stronger. Manga Black gets stronger from being hurt too, but he ''doesn't'' like it.
*** This is also reflected in his fighting style. Manga Black fights more like a brute, is more aggressive, and his eyes as a [[spoiler: Super Saiyan Rose has a dark outline like Majin Vegeta]]. He also prefers to beat his opponent down with pure force instead of using a specific style. In comparison, Black in the anime fights with an air of elegant and indifference which is reflective in his [[spoiler: Super Saiyan Rose form]] that is drawn more refined and ethereal even compared to [[spoiler: Super Saiyan Blue]]. He is also more flamboyance, talking about how beautiful his [[spoiler: Super Saiyan Rose is]], and he tends to go for quick critical hits instead of just beating his opponents into submission.

*** It is hinted in the manga by Goku that [[spoiler: Goku Black]] is a ManipulativeBastard who is just using [[spoiler: Future Zamasu]] and has no real kinship towards him. Given [[spoiler: Future Zamasu's]] freak out and how [[spoiler: Goku Black]] called him useless, it probably has a grain of truth. In the anime, [[spoiler: Future Zamasu and Goku Black]] are a straight up team who has undying trust and care in one another.

** [[spoiler: Present]] Zamasu also have several changes between the manga and anime:
*** Minor example. When confronted by Beerus, Whis, the Supreme Kai, and Goku for the second time, Zamasu manages to [[NervesOfSteel keep his cool]] the entire time and even wants to spar Goku again. When his [[spoiler: murder of Gowasu is revealed]], he tries to justify his actions calmly and doesn't bother to lie once they figured out most of his plan. In the manga, when Zamasu is confronted by Beerus and Whis he is noticeably nervous and stumbles to find an excuse about why he attacked Zuno. When his plans are revealed, he rants about his views of justice and [[spoiler: attacks ''[[TooDumbToLive Beerus]]'']]. Another small change, in the anime Zamasu is willing to admit that his actions are [[spoiler: evil, [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans but from that evil will come a greater justice]]]]. Manga Zamasu refuses to see anything he does as evil and mocks Beerus of all people about his justice.

** A slight change between the anime and manga version of Gowasu. In the manga, Gowasu is much harsher towards Zamasu when he talks about killing mortals for peace, saying that Zamasu should know his place and how his arrogance will lead him to ruin if he doesn't shape up. He also does little to quell Zamasu's issues with mortals. He just tells him how the gods should act. In the anime, Gowasu is much softer when dealing with Zamasu's views. He tries to gently guide Zamasu to the right path and even agrees with him to a point about the [[HumansAreFlawed mortals]]. He attempts to quell Zamasu's issues by giving him his own viewpoint of good and evil and reminding Zamasu that the [[GodIsFlawed gods are not infallible]]. He also still show [[AlasPoorVillain sympathy]] for Zamasu even when he sees the monster he has become, while manga Gowasu reached his breaking point after [[spoiler: Goku Black impales him]].
** [[spoiler: Future Zamasu]] is also a minor example. While [[spoiler: Future Zamasu]] in the anime is very supportive of [[spoiler: Goku Black taking Goku's body]] and even wished he would gained immortality to make himself truly invincible, manga [[spoiler: Future Zamasu]] appears to look down on [[spoiler: Goku Black for abandoning his godly body for power]]. In fact, he seems to only support [[spoiler: Goku Black]] because his [[spoiler: immortality]] alone can't kill all the mortals in the multiverse. His fighting style also differs between the two mediums. Much like [[spoiler: Goku Black]], Zamasu has a very elegant fighting style and tend to do quick attacks. He also has a bad habit of dropping his guard because [[spoiler: he's an immortal]], allowing weaker fighters like Super Saiyan 2 Trunks to tag him and will purposely jump in front of attacks meant for [[spoiler: Goku Black]] to protect him. In the manga, he has all of Kibito-Kai's attacks like telekinesis and the ability to paralyze his opponent. He usually fights other opponents to keep them away from Black so he can fight one-on-one.

** In the ''Super'' manga, Black is drawn more like a psycho with his {{Slasher Smile}}s and dark eye outlines much like Majin Vegeta. His body also have the same bulk as Goku. In the anime, Black is drawn more slender compared to Goku and have a softer appearance overall. He becomes even more attractive when he achieves his [[spoiler: Super Saiyan Rosé form]], something [[TheFightingNarcissist he's fully aware of]].

** Botamo is tough in both the manga and anime, taking all of Goku's attacks with no damage. In the manga, Botamo's ability works like a rubber ball where he absorbs damage because everything bounces off of him like [[RubberMan Luffy]] from ''Manga/OnePiece''. In the anime, Botamo outright absorbs damage, sending it to another dimension. So while Botamo in the manga gets knocked around like a stress ball, Botamo in the anime doesn't even flinch when he's taking a hit. It also noted in the manga that Goku probably could have hurt Botamo with brute force by going Super Saiyan and not holding back. While in the anime, Goku says he probably would have lost in a standard fight, although it is not elaborated if Goku is referring to base or his Super Saiyan forms.
** Magetta gets a minor case of this in the ''Super'' manga. In the anime, Magetta gives Vegeta a hard fight and nearly rings him out twice thanks to his species' ability to produced and withstand heat, [[NighInvulnerability having a nearly indestructible body]] that can withstand a Final Flash from Super Saiyan Vegeta, and can drink and spit up lava. In the manga, Vados doesn't produce a second barrier, which greatly limits Magetta since he can't fly nor can he suffocate Vegeta with his heat. He does no real damage to Vegeta during their match and the entire fight is treated as a gag similar to the early ''Dragon Ball'' fights. Vegeta also get hit with the AdaptationalWimp since Super Saiyan Vegeta apparently can't lift 1000 tons.
** Vegeta seemingly gets hit with this in the ''Super'' manga adaptation of the Universe 6 arc. In the anime, Goku and Vegeta are statically equals. Goku only manages to surpass Vegeta because he can combine [[spoiler: Super Saiyan Blue with the Kaioken and can take it up to times ten]]. In the manga, Vegeta not only loses to Hit as rapidly as in the anime but it's revealed that Goku is able to dominate Hit using Super Saiyan God, a form which Vegeta has never shown he could access and that is markedly weaker than Blue. Subverted in this arc as it's revealed that Blue has a major stamina weakness and using it multiple times reduces it's power to only about 10% of normal. Further averted in the Goku Black and Universal Tournament arcs. Vegeta not only shows he can use Super Saiyan God but develops a way to shift between God and Blue a huge number of times in order to bring out the best in both forms. While Goku gains the upperhand by completing Blue, allowing him to compete if not defeat Merged Zamasu, their equilibrium is restored in the next arc when Vegeta masters the form as well.
** Hit is also not spared in the same manga chapter. In the anime, Hit was on par with Super Saiyan God Saiyan Goku, although he was overwhelmed once Goku learned how to counter his [[spoiler: time-skip]]. That is until Hit improved and [[spoiler: increased the time so he can freeze time, forcing Goku to use the Kaioken to counter it. Even then, it was an even match and Hit was holding back since he couldn't use any of his killing techniques. In the manga, Hit is overwhelmed by Super Saiyan God Goku and he doesn't improve. He has just been holding back and can only use his full power time-skip for a few minutes before burning out since he's out of practice, much like 100% Frieza on Namek]]. After Goku transformed into a Super Saiyan Blue, he has the match all but won, but forfeits since Hit can't use his killing techniques. Goku then tells Vegeta that he may have beating Hit if he didn't waste so much energy with Cabba.

* AdaptationalWimp: Nearly every fighter in the Tournament of Power get hit hard with this. Notable examples are:

* AwesomeButImpractical: Super Saiyan Blue in the manga version of ''Super''. Overall, it comes off as more powerful than its anime counterpart in raw strength, but it comes at the cost of being a major energy drain to the point that you lose 90% of your power if you transform too many times and its full power can only be maintain for a short time. It is basically a more powerful version of Super Saiyan 3. When Goku does mastered the form by keeping his energy within himself, he becomes so powerful that he can fight [[spoiler: Merged Zamasu]] on almost equal footing. However, this causes a rapid breakdown in Goku's body making this form similar to [[spoiler: Super Saiyan Blue/Kaioken]] from the anime.

* BattleOfWits: It's theorized that Goku can beat Botamo with brute force if he goes all out. Instead, Goku choses to knock Botamo over, drag him to the end of the stage, and flip him out of the ring.

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: Future Trunks prevents Majin Buu's awakening, and kills Dabura and Babidi. However, Kibito and the Supreme Kai dies in the battle, the Z-Sword was petrified and broken by Dabura, killing Old Kai, which leads to Beerus' death since his life is directly linked with the Supreme Kais. To add further bitterness, Goku Black was watching everything, making sure that the Supreme Kai dies]].
* BlackComedy: It's revealed that the Future Pilaf Gang made their wish for youth just before Piccolo died to the androids, and Bulma and Gohan were rushing to use the wish to revived everyone killed by the androids. Although the subject matter is dark and cruelly ironic, the chapter is PlayedForLaughs and the final shot is baby Pilaf and the others trying to escape, while Gohan cries in the background over the inert Dragon Balls.

** [[spoiler: Merged Zamasu's]] manga counterpart is even worse than his anime self. Much like in the anime, he could have easily killed Goku, Vegeta, and Future Trunks upon [[spoiler: fusing]], but choses to toy with them. ''Unlike'' his anime counterpart, he ''still'' screws around with them even after [[spoiler: Vegito Blue]] smashed him into the ground. What makes this even worse is that he knows that he has an [[spoiler: one hour time limit since he isn't a full Supreme Kai]], yet he still waste time.

** In Chapter 14, just before Future Trunks makes his return to the present, Bulma just happens to be messing around with time travel for makeup products, for some reason. Jaco is there to tell her the dangers of time travel and split timelines. On the side, we see Trunks and the Pilaf gang's teacher talking about time travel and how drastic different timelines can be. Future Trunks also returns when everyone happens to be a Capsule Corp [[spoiler: celebrating their victory over U6]].

* AdaptedOut: The manga completely skips over the Resurrection F Saga, but the events that occurred within it are brought up from time to time. It was likely skipped due to already being adapted into manga form by the same author.

* EarlyBirdCameo: Champa and Vados appears in the ''Super'' manga months before they debut in the anime.

The manga version of the ''Dragon Ball Super'' story (also an anime) serialized monthly in ''V-Jump'', written by Toriyama and drawn by Creator/{{Toyotaro}}, who previously created the ''VideoGame/DragonballHeroes'' spin-off manga ''Victory Mission''. As ''Anime/DragonBallZResurrectionF'' was adapted in ''V-Jump'' just prior to the start of ''Super'', the manga skips from the Battle of Gods arc to the Champa arc.

* Hypocrite: Zamasu and his counterparts are huge ones.

* InfoDump:
** The ''Super'' manga in general has this problem. Because it only has so many pages to convey information over a month, any plot details are often dumped into long dialog boxes between characters. It's to the point that character development gets sideline in favor of long lines of info, with the characters some times repeating themselves or the same info being said in a different way by another character: like Jaco explaining why time travel is dangerous and then having Trunks' teacher repeat the same information with a more detail example.
