Case close I guess. Ya got me she's pretty much pointless and is nothing more than a trophy for kururin.
Bulma is awesome... but chi-chi is best waifu :wink:

I'd like to see it end. That's not a mere pithy comment. I literally want to see the story come to a proper conclusion.

I feel like GT, for all its many many many flaws and issues had probably the best possible ending for Dragon Ball.

I just don’t think Super (or possibly a brand new anime) had any reason to exist. Battle of the Gods was a nice treat for the fans but it should have been a one and done deal not an excuse to make a brand new Dragon Ball series.

And I know and understand reasons people don’t like Kai but I’m fine with its existence even if screwed up by reducing the entire first half of the manga into a prologue to say nothing of the music issue

I mean the mere existence of Super is a declaration by Toei that they never want it to end. Especially by setting it within Z rather than after it and making the character look like they were in the Cell arc in perpetuity.

Kale and Caulifla getting maried, Beers and Shin getting married, Chirai and Broli getting married and having kids while also running a smuggling business with Lemo. Additionally, Mai and Trunks having kids and Bra becoming a slutty high school gyaru who seduces Goten.

Also, my ideas for Videl and Chi-Chi in my previous post.

A female big bad would be an interesting change of pace.

I like most of this but idk bout beerus/shin and bra being sluty everything else tho I'm down. But the broly/chirai wouldn't that make her brolys trophy. That's the logic I'm seeing here.

Chirai is Broli's biggest cheerleader and her personality is also a lot of fun to see play out.

Bra being a bigger slut than her mom would be hilarious, especially if she fought, too.

I agree

As long as she doesn’t take the backseat when a new bad guy shows up later in the same arc as well

Like maybe

- a Wanted Criminal from Universe 11 who rivals Jiren’s power due to a connection to the person who messed up Jiren’s life.

Or

- a Deity (God or Demon) who was sealed a long time ago for something horrifying.

Or

- A Evil Female Saiyan from Universe 6?

The Glory example is apt.

You know, the contrarians who think DB should be a Slice-of-Life series, the folks who worship Pre-Raditz Dragonball uncritically, the folks who downplay and often flat-out deny that Dragonball is an action series, the folks who try to push that false argument that none of the serious moments in the series were mean't to be taken seriously, etc.

Dragonball doesn't have a single tone. It has both silly and serious moments, both humor and drama, just like real life. The idea that a work of fiction should be only all-comedy or all-serious is unnatural and frankly, retarded.

In a dedicated story arc not hampered by the fact that it's a Dragon Ball game, obviously!

But we need a Female Main Villain for the anime and Super Manga (as I said before doesn’t take the backseat when a new bad guy shows up in the same story)

That's not a need. It's a want. A desire.
