If Toriyama will really draw 10 fighters for each Universe, I expect some to be lame.
I will also be surprised in a good way, if the other God of Destructions don't turn out to be all cats.
A world without Dragon Ball is just meh.

I would prefer if Toriyama focused on a few of the new fighters of the other universes, but still designed all the fighters.
It won't take him much time to quickly draw the non-important ones and possibly give them a gimmick.
Like Botamo, I bet it didn't take Toriyama much to come up with his design and abilities

His thought process was probably, "Alright, who's the gimmick fighter who loses in the first round? Oh, I know! Winnie the Poo!" I seriously think the Botamo WAS based off of Winnie the Pooh. That can't possibly be a coincidence.

Frost probably didn't take much time either since he's basically blue Frieza with a few differences. (Like pants. :P)

Can't forget those boots!
Boots really takes away some of his scariness, those claws looked quite nice on freeza

I swear too god if I don't see at least one female arcosian from the other universes... I'm sick to death with all the males we've been getting. Just plain irritating. At the very least I am confident with the designs we'll be getting. As Toriyama has proved himself capable

Did you mean female alien? Because the only place were there would be a female member of Freeza race is Universe 6 or 7.

I know. Anyhoo I do hope that Toriyama can wow me with the designs. But I am personally hoping that one of the god's of destruction. Is a hippo
