I already disliked Champa for his obnoxious personality in the U6 arc, but now i'm starting to outright hate him. I hope he dies for good, which would also have a plus because Beerus does seem to care about his brother, so we could have a little character centered mini arc/sub plot.
I really miss ma boy, Black :( :cry:

Is there anything in real life similar to a Senzu Bean?

Nope and if there was, the ones in charge wouldn't want us to know anyways, as that would cripple a bunch of industries.

Yes, the Illuminati wouldn't. I'm sorry, but this conspiracy theory about how industry works by supressing better products is bunk. If senzus existed, why wouldn't pharmaceutical companies sell them?

Clearly ABED has never played Deus Ex before ;)
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.

After seeing his behavior in episode 98/100,now I want him to get killed off or get replaced as a god of destruction,I'm not liking what there doing for him,he is a badly written character in this arc just like #18

If after everything some of you have posted in recent days we are now getting into "the jews are corrupt" territory, there are about to be some serious repercussions with permanent account removals and complete visiting access revoked.

If you are this kind of person: you are not welcome here, we don't want you to feel comfortable here, we do not want to hear your bullshit ideology, and you should be ashamed of yourself.

Considering some of the conversations you've all been involved in, it's rather difficult to take anything you all say as a joke. Maybe it's best that you leave the humor to Toriyama.

What's exactly the issue? It's perfectly in character how he's behaving. He's supposed be an obnoxious prick and that's exactly what he is in this arc.

I was looking up "Best Rap Albums" on Google images, and the most random picture came up of Darth Vader, C3PO, Kanye, and a whole bunch of other people all sitting on the Simpson's couch, and for some reason Goku was there. He just looked really out of place.

Never really thought about it. Now I'm curious though.

Speaking of GT, after the wish was made to restore the Earth, what happened to New Vegeta?
Did the solar system have two inhabited planets that the humans could live on and travel between?
I do far more lurking than actual posting.

I don't see Frost's creation being for fan service or nostalgia's sake. Anyone should be able to see that the tournament with Universe Six was demonstrating how the universes are mirrored with another and that the fighters for Universe Six was homages to the sagas of Z with the exception Hit being his unique self. (Cabba = Saiyan, Frost = Namek, Magetta = Android, Botamo = Boo)

BUT DAS JUST MY OPINION

Looks like it is the character's name.
I like to take DB Wikia with a pinch of salt; they're not exactly the most reputable source(Hell, they even got in on that whole "Vegeta Breigh" hoax from ages ago).
The point of Dragon Ball is to enjoy it. Never lose sight of that.

I actually abhor the DB wikia altogether as a credible source for any information, but I don't think they would be particular enough to fabricate a proper Japanese spelling out of thin air.

With that being said, there should also be better sources to eventually corroborate or disprove this.

Perhaps Herms, VegettoEX, or someone who's read the Japanese manga, or is intimately familiar with the Cell games portion of the anime can chime in?
