that life is processed episodically like a TV show and, that, mainly collaged around key actors in our circle. It begs if there's more to the Mandela Effect than neurosis. It doubles as a sort of SOS, a symptom of life's chapters being recalled before a lesson, à la the common dream of failing

In each intro to Mononoke, a clip showing the Manipura — a chakra center that commands will, emotions, and confidence — is underscored by a new background hue. The same area, the solar plexus, is where Boruto was impaled by Kawaki and shortly revived. Moreover, the Manipura is depicted by a sun,

Last November, ch. 16 personified them as "heretical existences" in Eida, Boruto and Kashin Koji respectively. They alone are apprised of the future, to confirm or change it. This brings up a curious flashpoint between the aforecited IPs. In Dragon Ball, the gut is where focusing chi enables flight.

In Buddhism, the phrase refers to spatial reality, i.e. the compass rose plus verticals, and is usually complemented by the 'Three Existences' of past — life on earth like the smoke of incense; present — our body as the ash it reduces to; and future — a heavenly gestalt of precious fragrances.

perennial lag behind Goku. The bit countervails squabbling over what's true or not, as it japes at Daima's own setting! It's proof Toriyama left as he lived, nonplussed about looking back.

His death prompted speculation over what counts as canon, a rat race where he laughed last. Toriyama loved a reversal of circumstances. Frieza?

Akira Toriyama was no stranger to reimagining his stories. The pilot of his final work, Dragon Ball Daima, wasn't only such an exercise but alludes to 'Godtube' from sister reboot, Super.
