[King Bardock]

[xJeffx]

So XXI true identity is a two headed monster shrouded in darkness. At least I hope he has two heads and not just two separate people.

[coola]

Sneaking alone to the most mysterious contestant room, oh well, i hope Buu will enjoy being XXI bit.h

[rereboy]

The white light below the second being reminded me of Dragon Balls and its dragon.

[Cetra]

I also think the right one is some Jinn/Dragon/Oracle. Why would he ask if that is a question for him and the other one be so specific about asking him what to do next. It doesn't need to be but it would be cool.

[rereboy]

So, could we be dealing with shadow dragons?

[TheDevilsCorpse]

I wouldn't rule out something similar, but I doubt whatever it is can actually grant wishes. Perhaps just information? Most of the contestants are in the tournament for the Dragon Balls, and I see no reason to assume XXI is any different until we're told otherwise. So why bother coming to the tournament if he already had something that could grant him his desires?

[rereboy]

Yes, he seems to care about getting his wishes. It would be weird if he already had dragon balls (at least, as we know them).

[Regarder]

Why would XXI need help beating 18? Does he know that 18 will try to one shot him before he can do a spell this time, or is it something else?

What if XXI isn't even a real wizard, and he's getting all his power from a "deal with the devil", so to speak?

Well, he might always consult that other being so that he always follows the best course of action, even if he can easily defeat #18.

However, his powers seem to be really unconventional so there might be more to this and #18 might present some sort of obstacle to him. Some people in the comments of the DBM website have speculated that for some reason his powers don't work as they should on androids, which is why in Bardock's vision we have android Yamcha bragging to someone that even though that someone beat everyone else, he can't beat android Yamcha (which would make Yamcha useful ).

[BlazingBarrrager]

Looks like we're also dealing with the possibility of them switching out fighters depending on who they are facing.

Holy crap.

[FoolsGil]

You know, when I said earlier that XXI would have trouble against 18, I was half joking. I didn't expect to be right.

[Saiga]

The white light below the second being reminded me of Dragon Balls and its dragon.

My first thought as well. The exchange "Is that a question for me" "No, my question is..." reminds me a lot of Shenron mistaking something for a wish and asking for clarification (although, I think that only happened in Battle of Gods, so probably just a coincidence).

[Gyt Kaliba]

...Well...that was unexpected, and is very, VERY intriguing.

Well personally I believe the schedule and pacing are what's causing the problem. These comments wouldn't be repeated if say like Shonen jump, everything was released on one day, then people wait eagerly for the next Shonen Jump (in this case DBM). Instead they go by this schedule which if you want to be a follower, it's best to ignore everything til the whole chapter is out. That's how I'd recommend DBM. Ignore the entire chapter til the whole thing is out. I honestly can't imagine how things would be if Shonen Jump did this type of strategy. I think they could benefit from actually submitting less content, and refining what they have. Why does a schedule need to be set? Do they get ad revenue or something? I mean imagine if Teamfourstar just released tiny pieces of there episodes so they'd have more content. Like say episodes were cut down to 1 minute and spread out over the week.

I guess with professional work they have the means to release it by chapter since the author is paid to meet that schedule. Every fan comic I've seen releases by page so I don't see why it's a big deal with DBM. DBM at least has a schedule so you know when to expect the next page while with most comics you're hoping it comes sometimes in the next week or month. The current method in DBM gives fans the option to view it by page every few days or wait for the entire chapter. If they chose to only release it by chapter then everyone who enjoyed viewing it by page would be out of luck.

I think since TFS is doing an abridgement of an anime they has to follow the same format of releasing by episode. If it was an abridged manga then it could be done by page.

On subject of Gast

I see I guess it was only mentioned in the Daizenshuu. Salagir has said he doesn't follow the guidebooks so I think it could work as long as it wasn't stated in the manga. Some fans only consider it canon if it was entirely written by the author like the manga itself or a movie that Toriyama wrote the story for. On the main site they noted that Toriyama had little to no involvement in the guidebooks. I guess it could be looked at as a supplementary to the manga in the same sense that some fans consider the anime filler supplementary since Toriyama had minor involvement in that. Toriyama seemed to ignore the guidebooks when working on Battle of Gods. I don't know how the SEG's set multipliers could work with SSJ1 (or 2?) Vegeta surpassing SSJ3 Goku when his base was most likely equal or less than Goku's and how Goku no longer needs to transform. Either absorbing SSJ God changes how the multipliers work or Toriyama had a different idea in mind from the start.

However, his powers seem to be really unconventional so there might be more to this and #18 might present some sort of obstacle to him.

YES! I was a little sad that Yamcha spent all that time trying to help #18 only to have her magically repaired by Zen Buu. At least I can rest easy knowing he has a bigger role to play in DBM!

Look I'm just steering clear for now. I'll give it two or three more chapters I guess before posting another comment after this so things don't sound like bashing no more. Unless something so amazing happens or something so crazy everyone's throwing there hands up, it's time to let the thread be positive again.

[Fionordequester]

Alright, prediction time! I'm guessing the XXII...

1) Is some kind of monster that cannot use his full power unless he's in whatever realm he is in right now (hence why he needs the old man body)

2) He's hiding his true power or nature for whatever reason from the committee.

Now this is the kind of ring I can get used to. Beats having to keep looking up at a fake planet. lol
