I agree with you on everything you said.As I stated earlier,Botamo,Magetta (I'm not even gonna mention Monaka....wait I just mentioned him :wtf:) were there just to fill up some space.Take them out and everything's the same.Goku,Vegeta & Piccolo fighting Frost,Cabba & Hit actually progressed the events of the tournament.

Also,video games are not going to include characters like them,as proven by XV2.Bandai passed the chance to include them in a DLC pack,but they did include fighters like Cabba or Frost because they are pretty important in their debut arcs.

He's a bland character, and the only redeeming qualities he has are his design and abilities. He basically feels like a 12 year old's OC.
I can see your points.

However,I think Hit's character is portrayed in that way because he would get some development from his interaction with Goku.Hit from the very start was very stoic and collected,a man who gets straight to the point without showing any kind of remorse or satisfaction(as proven from his fight with Vegeta).Enter Goku.

His fight(s) with Goku,made him feel some admiration and appreciation for someone else,something he totally didn't expect.I almost feel like Hit is a replacement for Tenshinhan and his rivarly with Goku in early DB.

This new arc is sure to give some more development to Hit,along with other U6 fighters such as Cabba or Frost.
Well considering that its going to be a battle royale of over 100 characters, I dont think ANYONE is gonna have time for development, or even the tiniest bit characterization.

Agreed, botamo and Maggie lack personality, and it would be odd if they include them in xenoverse :lol:

I am hoping that the fighting will involve some development for the actual characters,not just the plot.We'll have to wait some looooong 40 hours to see what'll happen :problem:

I was gonna say Monaka, but he's just a gag character, so yeah I'll say Frost. There's no reason to do another bad knock-off Freeza character. He seems to merely exist because Freeza is dead again and they can't keep bringing him back to life. Botama isn't great either, but eh, who cares.

Surprised people are saying Zeno, I mean...that's the whole point of his character. :lol:

Vados for teasing Shampa so much. I don't like how she teases him, she's so mean to him.

Jaco, because he doesn't do anything and is there just to say he's an elite member of the galactic patrol. :thumbdown:

I think Hit falls dangerously close to feeling like that, but is saved by the small bit (just enough!) of characterization he does get. In both the anime and manga, rather than either being unflappably serious or moved into complete friendship by his bout with Goku, he maintains an air of constant, light amusement. Combined with his occupation and abilities, I think that makes him a fun character in small doses.

I don't particularly dislike any of the new characters introduced in Super. Most of the ones I find uninteresting are incidental characters to begin with. I think the only one who's been granted something of a spotlight that I find truly uninteresting is Cabba. Even then, while he doesn't offer much on his own, the beats he provides Vegeta are appreciated.

Frost's section in the anime may run a little long. I much prefer his role in the manga, where he's simply an asshole who provides a bit of early tension in the tournament.

Hit basically feels like Pikkon did to me, with a little Piccolo from the end of Dragonball and maybe even Dragonball era Tenshinhan.

All of Universe 6's fighters fall flat to me in one way or another. There's a reason I disliked their tournament arc.

-Botamo and Magetta are interesting purely because of their special abilities, but personality wise outside Magetta's emotionally weak quirk there's nothing going on. Still think they're the least objectionable of U6 though even with Botamo's pretty lame showing seeing as they at least added some unique abilities and designs to a show that desperately needed variety.

-Hit's most interesting aspect is his powers and abilities. His design is nothing overly unique and his personality is yet another 'serious rival' character for Goku to overcome. He's okay, but I've never been enamoured by him.

-Cabba is horrific. A lot of people seem to give him a pass, but I can't work out what makes him so special. Another saiyan. Another super Saiyan. Uub/Gohan personality type. Stock fighting style with maybe one unique physical attack if that. Literally nothing we've not seen before and he even looks like a Xenoverse OC. He's just another Gohan really but without the years of following the character.

-Frost is somehow worse than even Cabba whilst also being pretty stock fighting style wise and looking like a Xenoverse OC. Could have easily saved him from the redundant scrap pile by NOT making him villainous but chose instead to make him Frieza v2 right after Frieza got an entire arc to himself.

Outside U6's team, Monaka just feels pointless. Like the character's entire reason to exist within the story seems pointless. Motivation for Goku? You have Hit. You have Beerus himself. You have Whis. You now have many universes full of powerful fighters, and Monaka being the fake most powerful martial arts master is a storyline Mr. Satan already did infinitely better previously, whilst feeling like a more well rounded character with room to develop. Shame really.

Characters I don't like:
-Shisami: he is just kind of there, not doing anything. Don't like the design either.
-Botamo: cool ability, everything else I don't like. It doesn't help that the (half) episode he was featured was pretty bad.
-Jaco, the Galactic king and all galactic patrol stuff: I don't necessarily dislike all of them, I just don't like them in Dragon Ball all that much.
The rest are ok to very good characters IMO.

Monaka was pointless and shouldn't exist.

Frost infuriated me in all the wrong ways.

Tagoma was great but they wasted him completely.

That all knowing guy kinda annoys me and I'm not even sure why... XD

Overall though: Monaka. Fuck him. He's the worst thing since unsliced bread. :P

Anime Frost and the Justice Rangers or whatever they are of Universe 11. I'm sick of the posing fighters
Manga Future Mai is very boring compared to her anime self. I don't hate her, but there's nothing really great about her either.

Manga: Black, Hit because they look so generic.

Anime: That fat alien from episode 87, did we even know his name?, Monaka,Gryll.

I dont understand how Anime Hit looks like Pikkon, he looks more like Jotaro with the seriousness and fighting abilities.

A lot of fans (including me) still consider Goku a bad guy in this situation, so why would Toppo, someone who's never met Goku before he doomed the multiverse, accept a god damn handshake from him?

I think it's ridiculous to consider Goku the bad guy. Eventually, at some point, Zeno was going to just arbitrarily eliminate universes. Secondly Goku didnt didn't ask for this rule about destruction and shouldn't be blamed for Zeno being insane.

Its like I say lets hold a video game competition and someone with Authority says "Okay...and I stab all the losers in the face" it wouldn't be my fault.


In fact to make it his fault we would have to resort to an infinite regression of circumstances. We could say its Beerus and Champas fault for holding the first tournament and planting the idea in that case and that sounds just as odd.
