"He's finally take some damage!! Emotional damage!!" Gosh, was that supposed to be a joke? I suppose this translation is not official, can't believe Trunks made this pun in the original, it looks so silly.
I'm not sure if they are the official, but it seems that the part about Zamasu not even being above Trunks is probably accurate.

Given how she looks she's ether form Universe 2 (due to her beauty) or Universe 3 (since she may be a robot).

That would be cool, Bioborg vs Fembot....that sound likes something from a very different types of manga then dragon ball...but still cool.

Her eyes are creepy to me for some reason, I have the impression she could turn into a snake, a lizard or some kind of monster :lol:

She could be that Damon from Universe 4? lol

She has the same eyes as the Cyborgs, or at least similar:

Honestly, I want to believe that she's from Universe 11. It might seem odd as a guess, but in the preview, we see a purple suit pants or what looks like them with another person wearing blue pants and Toppo has a purpleish/blue suit so what if he approaches her to join the team? We do know that he's searching for participants for U11's team.

I think the robot guess is pretty spot on. She looks like a Megaman character actually.

It's surprising the amount of female characters we're getting considering how the original series didn't really have many female fighters.

Edit: Looks like folks already had this discussion.

That was Present Zamasu. Future Zamasu was clearly stronger.

Goku was stronger. The manga even supports this meaning Goku being the strongest was most likely in the outline.

Piccolo kicked final form Freeza in the face and sent him flying and Tien pinned down Semi-Perfect Cell.
The manga made it clear future Zamasu was nowhere near SSB, and that he wasn't even as strong as ssj2 Trunks.

<Manga pages with unofficial manga site name removed by moderator>

And I know Goku was stronger than Vegeta, but Vegeta and Trunks combined?

And Frieza was blindsided by Piccolo, not to mention Gohan and Krillin gave Piccolo their energy. But I will agree with you Tien holding semi perfect Cell down didn't make much sense.

Are you sure about that? Last time I checked Piccolo lost to Tagoma, and got one shot by first form Frieza. Even if he trained I'm not sure he surpassed base Goku, and if he did I doubt it would be by too much.
The thing about base Goku is his strength seems to change a lot. One day he will be equal to copy Vegeta who one shot ssj3 Gotenks, the next day he will be equal with nerd Gohan or get pushed to ssj by Krillin.
Gohan said Piccolo got way stronger and that is why he beat him so easy when they was training in episode 88.
Ya, I know he got way stronger. He went from below perfect Cell to ssj2 tier. That doesn't automatically make him above base Goku. He didn't even attempt to challenge base Goku, he went right into charging his ki attack.
The scale of the Super manga isn't the scale of the anime.

And it still happened, which is why it's flaw to say that villains in Z were invincible after a certain power point.

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.

We're finally gonna see a female SSJ in the next episode of Super.

After so long, it's finally happening.

And, judging from their faces, it looks like both Kale and Califa develop affection for Cabba... Two Saiyans fighting over a person? Nightmare.

Yeah it looked cool, only thing I hate about the design of the U6 saiyans is their eyes! Their pupils are so large! I wonder why?

Females have never been relevant as fighters in this series and now they're trying to bring a few in who kinda are so it's obvious pandering to me much like a lot of the other stuff they're doing.
Toriyama didn't make female fighter relevant in the original story of Dragon Ball because he personally chose not to. That's not to say that female fighters in Dragon Ball can't be relevant or shouldn't be relevant.

And Toriyama, by his own admission, can't write female characters beyond the "strong willed" type.
Akira Toriyama wrote:The women I draw all have the same sort of personality. I can’t draw gentle girls; I only know how to draw ones who are strong-willed.
No ones arguing about that at all though. The only thing that was said was that it seems like the reason they're bringing all these female fighters into the mix all of a sudden to is pander to a certain crowd. You're turning this into something it wasn't supposed to be.

Oh that's just what the series needs. First significant new female characters in ages and they would have to involve them in some unnecessary love triangle.

I did not expect the cute adorable bitch to turn out all tubbylubby after she transforms.... caught me off guard, and that dance.... whoever made that character has watched too much magical girl shit.
Glad we get to see SSJ Cauli NEP. Kale is creeping me the fck out.
