Re: Is shantsa...........?
It's odd how so little focus has been given to Universe 4's last three remaining fighters. You have Damom and Gamisaras, the bug warriors, but how is the aforementioned Shantsa character still in? Nothing appears to be significant about him from an initial perspective. I would feel more inclined to ...

Re: Ironically enough it seems like Freeza's power wasn't even needed for the TOP
I would have been inclined to give Freeza's slot to Babidi for reasons expressed in other topics. It's true that he does provide a sombrely loose cannon element to Universe 7's dynamics and eventual victory, but I can't say I enjoyed the original premise of Freeza being trudged up yet again for the ...

Re: Why are 5/8 universes total fodder?
It doesn't have to be a general rule of thumb that every universe have some phenomenal powerhouse with powers that transcend worldly comprehension. But if you feel that's necessary then you can always factor in the events of RoF and the Copy Vegeta arcs. Somehow the levels displayed in those arcs by...

Re: What is 'Unlimited Regeneration' going to be?
It could just be hyperbole in reference to their knack for regenerating from injuries. Notice how only Namekians appear to be the ones losing limbs, though. If we saw others incurring such physical impairments then I wouldn't have any issues with the idea's value but it seems like only Namekians and...

Re: Possible ways to stop Zeno
You've relayed some of the most notable methods for removing Zeno. I agree, the little guy is too unpredictable and self-interested to be allowed to literally hold the fates of the multiverse in the palm of his hand. It has to be terrifying for everyone to realise that their existences can be snuffe...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Official Announcement & Discussion Thread
With the arrangement of surviving characters like the mechanical-themed Universe 3 roster and the Namekian duo from Universe 6 poised to have front and centre focus next episode, I'm really nervous about Piccolo's prospects for surviving 119. Many of us were projecting #18 to be the one who would fa...

Re: Erased Universes: Wished Back or Not?
It would get awfully crowded in U7 with the equivalent of eight universes all occupying the same general area of space. I might prefer to see them get dispersed throughout the non-participating universes as well; that way each one would only have to shoulder 1-2 each. The logical methodology for dis...

Re: Universe 3 being severely underused when they have such great robot designs?
Universe 3 has some of the most unique and intriguing designs in the entire tournament. Besides Universe 7, they have the largest remaining squad of participants remaining. But we've seen how a good number of them have been treated thus far. We should keep leveled expectations for them. The only oth...

Re: So about the U6 namekians?
The Namekians would either have to have been coerced into agreeing to merge or they don't mind giving up their individual sovereignty to become part of some centralised hive mind. I'm also of the opinion that they shouldn't be written in such a manner. It's bad enough that the U6 Namekians have had ...

Re: So about the U6 namekians?
I'm of the opinion that the dark hued silhouettes are either a visual representation of the U6 Namekians' culture and history or Saonel and Pirina are discussing their relationship to said Namekians. Could it be a representation of some collective merger? Yes, but like others, I would find it dishe...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Official Announcement & Discussion Thread
18 has barely done anything this whole tournament. She's handled marginally better than Tien and Piccolo so far, but that's it. I'm not sure what exactly constitutes as substantive involvement for you but she's played a significant role in several episodes past and is poised to have a fight with Ka...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Official Announcement & Discussion Thread
18 better not lose in this episode. If she's allowed to take one of the Kamikaze Fireballs down with her then I would say that's a very generous benefaction for her. She's already played a significant role in the defeats of multiple Pride Troopers, several of Universe 4's contestants in tandem with...

Re: Would you be sad if Universe 6 is erased?
Several members of their participating roster like Cabba, Magetta, Hit, and to a lesser extent Botamo are all people whom I would be saddened to have their existences snuffed out purely on the whims of a childlike sociopathic monarch. Champa might have inspired a similar reaction from me if he showe...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Official Announcement & Discussion Thread
Tempered expectations are a need-be when it comes to Super, including the manga. We all saw how Piccolo's involvement with the Champa tournament panned out. Don't forget Trunks' largely passive supplementary role in the arc named after him (it was more believable and grounded, but still demonstrated...

Re: Do you consider all the new TOP fighters to be a major part of Dragonball lore?
Everyone has offered a good observation. You're hard-pressed to find any fighter with meaningful development that could translate into a multi-arc participatory career outside of the U6 Saiyan girls and possibly the Pride Troopers. The studio seems more fixated on propping up a select few rather tha...

How would he gain control of the cyborgs? Both siblings are almost entirely organic except for the eternal energy engines if I'm not mistaken.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Official Announcement & Discussion Thread
The episode with Universe 2's Prum and Hermila does admittedly provide a rare glimpse into the mental aptitude that many people like to prescribe to Piccolo. It's not everyday you see a combat situation in DBZ where stealth and misdirection are utilised attributes in countering an opponent's techniq...

The angels have scarcely shown any collective initiative that's separate from those around and above them. Yes, there's been some brief interactions that alluded to a deeper relationship between them, but they don't seem inherently bad; that could always change. Now in terms of consequences, you cou...
