I'm sure Caulifla will job Vegeta style in the ToP, but it would be against Goku or Brianne.

Frieza would face Kale, while Cabba gets Frost.
Cabba and frost are same team

They should be a point where both Frieza and Frost backstab their teams, Frieza again cheapshots Goku while Frost does it with either Cabba or Hit.

Sucks that Yamchas chances in making it to the ToP is now zero because Roshi overcame his perv weakness(temporarily), and Beerus doesnt want anyone to quit the team.

Does anyone feel that Caulifla is how GT Pan shouldve been?

But why would Frieza backstab his team when he's the one setting the terms and conditions for his joining at all? He'd just be screwing himself out of something he wants.

As for Pan, I don't feel like Caulifla's smug hooligan personality really fits with her established personality in End of Z. I do think she should have been more like Teen Videl with a little less of the tsun.

Not necessarily, frost being shitty will get him erased in spot, if he goes attacking his own team he will risk erasure..

They don't even have anything to gain from it, his team loses he dies

No, I also would like that. I don't see what so special about this Caulifla, so Freeza actually doing something in this tournament and yet humilating a Saiyan would be delightful

I like Caulifla but having her already at SSJ2 is too much. I want Freeza to knock her ego down a few notches.

But Super has had shown barely any battle damage so I doubt it would really be as effective as it would in Z

...Why? Why the fuck would they backstab their own teams in the middle of the tournament with enemies surrounding them on all sides? If they lose, they're erased, and if they win they'll be erased for almost fucking it all up.
When Super apparently shoves Goku down our throats:

I don't like her design: just a brat with earthling clothes that can became a SSJ.
I get it: Saiyans in Universe 6 are not supposed to be barbarians, but that means they can't be drawn different than the skinny child type?

Also yeah something like Videl vs. Spopovich would never in a thousand years happen in Super.

I hate the skinny small type of U6 Saiyans too. I don't love her design but I honestly like it. But the affection ran dry after the preview showed her at SS2.

And yeah I could only wish we got actual blood again besides 3 very small instances. Videl VS Spopovich, FF Freeza VS Vegeta or even Goku VS Piccolo Jr would be a dream come true.

At least the manga show battle damage and blood,it would be good to see frieza torture one of the Saiyan of u6, especially Cabba or caulifa, because we need a scene to show how intimidating frieza is

They are not going to show a female character getting her ass beat. lol at the people who think they will, when people gave Toriyama tons of shit for doing it to Videl back in dbz.

Remember when he begged for help in Namek and ending up cheap shotting Goku? Or when he was giving up when Goku had the upperhand only to cheap shot again AGAIN(Sorbet laser)?

Frost/Frieza main plan could be both wanting to end up as the lone survivors of the ToP and gain the Super Dragon Balls.

Either of them betraying their team wouldnt cost them being erased, because its isnt in rules, no cheating is part of the rules, thats why Hit warned Frost in not using his needles.

This pic kinda gives off Buu Saga Videl vibes tbh

Equality is equality ! what i like about db is the fact that they don't care if you're a boy or a girl ! remember how Future Trunks killed Future 18 ? he was more brutal towards her than he was towards Future 17.

Vegeta should defeat Brianne even if he uses the same trick he tried on Arale because Brianne is half gag character, the complains would mostly come from tumblr...

Gohan vs Kale would be a fight that also causes controversy because Gohan has never ever fought a female fighter in canon DB...

What people ? SJW's that Toriyama doesn't even know about ? Toriyama will continue to do what he wants to do, not what some irrelevant nobodies on the internet want. It's the main reason why I like anime and manga over comics and cartoons cause the creators don't listen to these "people".
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

I think the teletubie girl might defeat Vegeta if we take Vegeta's humiliation record,also Kale looks tough as hell i can see Gohan struggling againts her,she's obviously going to be as strong as the plot needs her to be right now.

I'd actually laugh if Yamcha winds up on the Universe 9 team somehow. In this episode Supreme Kai said there MUST be 10 fighters on each team, and in the previous episode we saw Universe 9 was struggling to find fighters. The fact that they're also wolves and Yamcha has his wolf fanf fist attack, I wouldn't be surprised if they somehow sneak over to Universe 7 and grab Yamcha and tell him he's part of Goku's team.

The fact that Universe 9 is also considered the weakest/lowest universe rank and Yamcha winding up on the team would go along with Super's running gags too.

I think what many (including myself) find annoying is the cliche where a woman is intentionally much weaker and has to be saved by a stronger man. And then when it comes to very brutal cases like Videl it can bother people. I don't question those people who are bothered by such a brutal beating of women. It sure does show up a lot in media, which some people - especially those who have been abused - do not take kindly to it.

But I know... Silly me, trying to be empathetic to others' experiences.

Personally, I'd much prefer to see a woman character fight a fair match. How much do you see this happen in a Shonen series like Dragon Ball, unless they're facing another woman? Almost never. The "SJWs" are not the problem here. "SJWs" just want well-written written female characters who function as more than abuse victims to propel forward the development of a male character.

I know these characters have not been built up to logically be as strong as Goku/Vegeta/Gohan. However, with Dragon Ball Super, I think I've just had to turn my brain off at this point. The Future Trunks arc taught me that very well.
