Then Yamcha can finally get his revenge! Vegeta striking out to Yamcha, a wound to his pride!

btw thought of something...If Hit has been contracted to kill Goku for the next arc, the upcoming episode may very well be the reason behind it.
I'd definitely like some foreshadowing to what Hit's doing to address his absence, it would be a nice bit of foreshadowing.
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.

What? The manga doesn't cut anything from the outline, it adds more things to the story. The anime just adds even more things.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

What?? The manga cut the entire first fight with black. i never said they cut things from the outline. My point is the anime has a lot more time to add non essential parts to the plot. They can choose how they want to use it.

Given we don't have the outline, we can't say for certain Black going back in time was in the outline, so Toyotaro could just be following the outline, that might not have had Goku Black coming back and thus he didn't cut anything.

VegettoEX wrote:That so many people are dissecting a tossaway line in a fluff promotional interview for a specific episode is a bit disconcerting. This is, unfortunately, the monster we've created and need to take responsibility for: it's like we're providing too much information, and by extension, people blow every little thing out of proportion. I try not to editorialize in my news and content postings (that's what the podcast is for), and I would hope/expect the Kanzenshuu readership is a little more savvy than the Average Joe.
In this case, there were other events already taking discussions in that direction (like the episode where Goten appeared and interacted with other characters with no lines at all). That statement just throws more fuel into the fire, it wouldn't be getting attention like this if it were a completely isolated incident.

Care to share a screenshot? I can't seem to spot him or Goten for that matter.

Next episode seems really crowded character wise, plus they have to set-up the concept....makes me think it should have been a 2-parter.

He's the catcher. Gotens seen in the last section showing the u6 team. His head is cut off by the words though.

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

Right now the teams are uneven though..
U7 Team: Goku, Gohan, Krillin, Piccolo, Yamcha, Beerus, Trunks.
U6 Team: Vegeta, Goten, Cabba, Champa, Magetta, Botamo,

Yeah I noticed that too. I don't think it's her fault, it might be that the directors are making her play Goku full-moron 99% of the time

Maybe that's intentional. Universe 7 has 7 members while Universe 6 has 6.

I think it is a good thing as we get no slow nonsense and it probably means the episode is going to be a bit crazy.

All due to Hit's absence. Him not being there sets up for what's to come in episode 71 and 72 and even beyond.

Gohan is the one about to get owned by a baseball thrown by Goku. Classic Gohan. Stay classy.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

He looks scared shitless :lol: I hope Yamcha doesn't become the pitcher because Goku's too strong of a pitcher for Gohan. Also, looks like Gohan's being the catcher to redeem himself for not catching that potara :lol:

I'd take 10 slice of life or comedy-centric episodes before the next big arc. Especially if they focus on the human characters like Krillin, Gohan's family life, Yamcha, etc.

I'm not a huge fan of one-off slice of life episodes. However, if we had a cohesive slice of life arc then I'd be open to the idea. Might be fun.

Would love to see an arc where Krillin is in pursuit of a criminal, an arc on Gohan's scholarly life, and an arc on Yamcha's baseball career.

Jump preview for Episode 70:

I wonder why Champa isn't eating his Earth's food. Also, I hope the explanation of how to play (presumably by Yamcha) doesn't take too much of the episode.
