Oh god. If you're going to turn this into pages of arguing, please don't. It was not offensive enough to warrant that. If a post needs to be "looked at", just report it and let the moderation take care of it.

People call them that because of their personalties, this dude just said he calls all fictional women that.
Um...so? As long as that's not how you talk to anyone in person, I don't really care. Crude yes, unnecessary probably, but if it's kept to fictional stuff, I got no problems.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

I didnt know the word "bitch" is so bad and comparable to calling black people the "n" word and gay people the "f" word, I originally thought the offensive term of it was the "w" word or something, I view bitch as a joke term so I sometimes call them that, if I always call them that then I wouldnt mention a single female character name and instead call them a "bitch" which is obviously not what I do, at least to Cauli,Kale (thought it was obvious that I was kidding around) my bad if its offensive then I apologize, I'll refrain from mentioning it again as much as possible and try to act more mature.... scratch the mature part, not good with being serious and adult like for the most part, I hope thats not a problem? are we all good?

It's not AS offensive as the N word, I was just using a comparison. Just casually calling someone that because they are a woman is offensive though.
You didn't know and you owned up to it, that's pretty mature right there. No hard feelings.

Oooh boy here we go.....can we just not go there people.

If they want to call all fictional women Bitchs that then thats their prerogative but also they are going to have accept that it dose not reflect well on themselves by doing so.

On the flip side while its not nice, they are fictional characters. You can call them what ever you like and it will never, ever hurt their feelings or make them feel degraded. Its not like they are going around the forum addressing any female site members that way.

So can all parties just let it be.

Dude, it's over.
And it's not about offending a fictional character, is about not wanting casual misogyny to be normalized, or rather more normalized that it already is.

Look I'm on your side, I would never refer to a women as such unless she was a being genuinely horrible to me or others.

But on the same score they are Fiction Characters, him calling them that dose not hurt you, them or anyone else. Its not pleasant by any stretch of the imagination and people who do it are not cast in the best of lights but he has not called any real women that and sates he dose not do so either. Wither that be true or not, you have no proof he's been genuinely misogynistic to anyone who matters in reality.

Flip side its not nice to go round say SJW as an insult to someone when your the one calling a fiction character a bitch.

So changing the subject...

If Krillin and 18 do quit, who will replace them? They teased this Yamcha thing again so I think he would be one and maybe Buu will wake up last min and participate after all? Probably wishful thinking there. Maybe they'll go in with less than 10 members? Maybe Krillin just quits and 17 manages to convince 18? Or *hopefully* it's just BS for drama purposes, but Freeza coming back is legit so who knows at this point what they're gonna do.

there not going to quit I think, they hear Buu is not going and considered or just changed their minds. Then Goku is gonna drop the "Universal Destruction" Bombshell and they will stay.

I think Krillin and 18 are quitting because Goku suggesting bringing Frieza to the team, which of courses annoys Krillin, its a natural reaction from him, why would he be alright recruiting the being that killed him?

Then Goku reveals the truth to them.

Next week we will finally get a glimpse of U3 and hopefully U4, now I'm sure Smug Fox is from that Universe.

U2 was a bit interesting, looks like they are filled with magical girls, pretty girls and Okamas.

It would be funny if Helles recruits Okamas for her team, as long as they are entertaining like One Pieces Bon Clay..

The last episode really made me think they are going to include Yamcha at some point. At first, I thought they were treating it as a joke but now I'm not so sure. That being said I don't know whose place he could take. I really don't think Krillin and 18 are going to quit. Maybe Frieza will refuse and they have no choice but to pick him on such short notice.

Let's see if they come clean about the Universe blowing up in the next episode. We saw by Universe 9's example it isn't a good idea to tell everyone and create mass hysteria but all the fighters at the very least should now. Especially those like 18, Krillin and Vegeta who have young children.

So, considering that the Universe with the most fighters left wins I suspect we might get a tie in the end. Something like after 48 minutes run out Universe 11 and 7 both have 2 fighters left and then we have individual matches to determine the winner. That's what I expect will happen anyway. Unless there is a possibility of more than one Universe being the winner if there is a tie.
He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.

Universe Survival arc officially has more episodes than Champa arc now.
Champa arc had 14 episodes, while this one already has 15 episodes and we are still far from the ending.

Good to know they finally learnt their lesson of not rushing everything. Congratulations Toei! :clap:

I'm interested to see what leads to their decision, but if Goku is going to tell the truth to their teammates I think that's the time.

They didn't rushed the Champa Saga since the scope was simply smaller. This is like claiming that the Saiyan Saga is rushed compared to the Namek/Freeza Saga.

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

True.

Goku has treated well compared to the Black Arc, he is now more like Buu Saga self.

And Krillin reacting to Goku wanting to bring back Frieza to the point of qutting the U7 team is logical, why would he want to team with a guy that is rotten to the core?

Beerus has been the smartest guy in U7, he wanted to go to Mr Satans house and beat up Buu, he shows that he really is taking the ToP seriously, and props to Toei for remembering the pudding incident.

Anyone hyped for U3?
