Well what Website is this, and what makes you and the site the end all be all indicator of what characters are popular? Because anyone here could just as easily say, "Well Me and a bunch of dudes from this website really like Yajarobii, so that pretty much makes him the most likable character in Dragonball." But that wouldn't make it fact. Get what I mean?
Well three of them are gamefaqs,comic vine,spacebattles

I still have the same question of what makes them the authority in your eyes. I haven't even heard of 2 of those. And gamefaqs is hardly the place I'd think of for anime expertise, let alone Dragonball related trivia.

I'm never quite sure what people mean when they say something is cancer, so I can't really speak about that. But if that's what you think about this particular board, wouldn't that give it less credibility in your eyes?

I feel like that would be me siting the Youtube comments as a legit source of what's popular despite my opinion that it's just kind of a cesspool for memes and spambots.

But on the topic of Goku's popularity I feel like you just have to look at Dragonball anything and see that he is one of the more popular characters. At the very least. And is for sure not one of the most hated. The dude is front and center for a reason. You could make the argument of him being overrated, that I could see, but most hated just doesn't seem to be the case.

Back on topic, I hope we get to see some carnage this week. We were promised (by way of the understanding grasped from WSJ previews and from summaries) that Kale was going to wreck shop

She eliminated two competitors and tanked a Super Saiyan Blue Kamehameha.

I imagine this week being a lot of really fancy transformation sequences taking up a lot of the episode. I hope the other 2 U2 ladies get really fun ones like Ribrianne. But I'm mostly looking forward to everyone scolding 17 for being the only smart one and interupting a transformation.

Looks like we'll finally see Dyspo in episode 104, judging by the title. I hope we get to see Jiren do something in this episode as well, would love to see Goku and Hitt team up against him. Especially since I doubt Hit would have much trouble if Toppo or Jiren isn't involved. They already teased Hit vs Jiren before, so I'll be disappointed if we won't get to see it, that's the fight I'm looking forward to most.

A guy that looks like Piccolo and a guy that looks like Slug, nice!
Looks like they have a different skin color from the U7 Namekians. Hopefully we see them in action soon!

U6 Saiyans have shown to have potential that exceeds U7, I wonder if the same applies to U6 Namekians.

Nameks. Nice. I was hoping for this. Hopefully they do something that makes me love them. Piccolo used to be my favorite character back when I was much younger. Seeing new nameks that are going to fight kind of brings me back to those days.

Yeah, those Namekians sure do feel like they're based heavily on Piccolo and Slug. I wonder if they're a duo? Maybe their Namekians are generally evil and these two are our new Vegeta and Nappa?

Yay for having namekians and names by looking at the image but I'm disappointed that one of the namekians look like lord slug :problem:

According to Herms, the warthog is Dr. Rota, the Piccolo-looking Namekian is Saoneru and the square-headed one is Pirina.
