I really, really don't want that to happen. But man, the backlash would be hilarious.

I was looking forward to her because i thought she looked beautiful didn't expect her to be the character we saw in the opening and the v jump spread ! my question is,that appearance we saw her in was it her desguise or her actual base look ??? !!

More than a teletubby, she looks like the Para Para Brothers from GT from her clothes to her appearance. Only difference is she's a lot heavier. Couldn't the Para Para Brothers also assume a disguised human form?

No, she's fat. Even if "thicc" is a meme word, it does have a sort of definition, and Ribrianne doesn't fit it. The best way I can think of to differentiate the two is that thicc means the "pear" bodyshape, while fat is the "apple" bodyshape. (Regular Brianne is neither.)

Anyway:
While I did see where it was going the instant the transformation happened (helped by the correct prediction that Helles' definition of beauty is bizarre), I think Ribrianne is a nice parody of the magical girl genre. Her personality didn't seem to be much to write home about, but she needs more time for that to be judged properly.

I think she is very funny. Her transforming into that fat teletuby is hilarious, compared to the ultra estilized figures of the Sailor Moon girls. It will be fun to see Vegeta fighting her and she will give him a hard time, but she'll lose.

I noticed since last week her and the character from the opening had the same color scheme and I was kinda expecting them to be the same character.

However, I'd hoped she wasn't since I like both designs and wanted as many unique fighters as possible, but with how great she's shaping up to be, I am very happy a fun character is getting two great designs, rather than two good designs being wasted on separate not-as-fun guys. Can't wait to see her kick Vegeta's ass.

This needs to happen. Absolutely 100% NEEDS to exist for us to witness and fawn over for all time.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

I mean, she's a one-note parody of magical girls so far so not much else to say. We'll see how/if it develops

Most amusing transformation since Zarbon. Glad she wasn't just some generically cute girl honestly. She may be a bit of a gag, but at least her design isn't bland. Hope she's got a little more to her than she first appears to though ability wise.

She sounds like a lot of fun. I'm always down for Magical Girl parodies in basically anything. Although I'm wondering what exactly the 'joke' is supposed to be. Is it just that when she 'transforms', she gets uglier? Because I don't think her design is that obviously ugly. She may have a weird body shape, but this is also a story world with aliens that aren't very human-looking at all. The way she was presented in this recent episode felt more like 'huh, that wasn't what I was expecting' to 'huh, this is the exact opposite of what I was expecting, and that's the joke'.

Or maybe the joke is just that she doesn't obviously look like a magical girl at all but still acts like one.
I could have gotten into anything...and yet I chose the story aimed at young Japanese boys about martial arts, and later about super-powerful aliens punching each other really hard.

Now you're just being ridiculous, Zarbon's transformation is stillthe uglier one. Infact, Ribrianne isn't ugly at all, even in her transformed state she downright adorable.

One-note? Sounds like you are jumping the gun there.

I wasn't really talking about ugliness, but rather how drastic the transformation is. Zarbon at least looked like himself, while she is unrecognizable. Probably should have made that clearer.

I'm commenting on what is there. At the moment, she's a one-note parody, nothing else. Jeadcanon and personal hopes/predictions obviously don't count

i think shes a great character and what db super needs. more diversity, the better. but her intro was bit too childish. anyway I'm sure she will be a very strong fighter since u2 is the pair with u11.

what if she has other transformations based on emotions. ribrianne could be love, there could be others like hate, anger etc.

When we only had the preview I was thinking she would end up being a sort of alternate Buu race creature.

I want to ask Zeno or Zuno why a Buu egg was placed in the universe when created....

I think she's awesome. She works wonderfully in the same vein of as the Ginyu Force did. They were deconstructive parody of Super Sentai and she is deconstructive parody of the Magical Girl genre.

It's great. And her VA is terrific.
