I do far more lurking than actual posting.

:eh: SS Berserker Kale is so cool and hot, ah she's just to awesome.

She, along with Frieza and Frost, is one of the characters who are not part of my team that I cheer for.

The catch is, information cannot be destroyed completely in reality, if this universe follows this basic law, when zeno erases something, where does the matter go?
It's like they just stop existing without a trace, even their souls, maybe that happens because they do indeed stop existing but in this reality, they are simply transported to another one, where we have our eoz in the end..
You know, that's sort of how I feel all of this is going to end. I mean, I doubt DB has the "fortitude" to goes as far as a DC Comics-level cosmic resetting, but I'm not throwing out the possibility. I mean, if U7 DOES get erased and brought back, I feel that the catch will be that it's not REALLY them, in a manner of speaking.

How exactly could she bullshit her way to any level when we don't even know what her max level is?

You guys really shouldnt underestimate a magical girl. Madoka the magical girl can rewrite a universe, is immortal and nigh omnipresent, sailor moon characters arent pushovers as well.

I've said it before, the show has said it before. It dose not matter what your foe looks like or how weird their powers may be, all of that has ZERO baring on how powerful they are. The fact they use magical abilities actually makes them more dangerous as their attacks do not function the same way as ki, cannot be sensed and its freaking magic i.e. physics breaking, nonsense power.

Who the hell underestimating Brianne? the strongest character in this series is a fucking Pokemon not to mention other examples where the whole don't judge a book by it's cover

It's entirely because the character is fat. If she stayed in her first form, the one with the green hair that looked good, people wouldn't have a problem with her being so strong. It's just that she looks like a fat, obese, ugly teletubby that people think she's weak or can't be strong.

As said, this is Dragonball. Everyone should know appearance does not determine how strong a character is. In this series the shortest characters or fattest characters are usually insanely powerful anyway.

Some in this thread sadly, for some reason I dont know if its because of her design or her character setup as a magical girl or both.

I dont think people assume shes weak. They just assume she isnt winning the tournament and hasnt received the development needed to where it would mean something if she eliminates a main character.

If I had to guess Vegeta will fight her and win before losing to Hit or Toppo.

Though it could be the reverse and he beats one of them before losing to her. Who knows.

She's been portrayed as Vegeta's rival from the intro, dunno why she's getting underestimated. Is it because Vegeta was fighting in SS?

I don't understand this mentality though, I've long said we've passed the point when the narrative can continue indefinitely into the future due to sheer scale. I proposed a reset with the Super Dragonballs such that BoG and everything subsequent never happened and thus Zamasu never goes evil and Black is never born, Trunks timeline is never erased, etc etc. This is deemed too unbelievable yet many theorize that Goku and crew if eliminated wouldn't stay that way or that the universe won't really be proposed or if they are they will be brought back. Narratively this is the ultimate stakes here. There's literally nothing more to fight for beyond this. If a reset of anything occurs I don't think it will just retcon the Universal arc it will not be just the thisbkne arc that changes
