I guess Arale’s probably stronger.
This interview happened around 1987, around Daimao Arc. This means 'No Gag Arale at best is only around 22nd or 23rd TB Goku.
Toriyama isn't saying that Arale is on that level, he is saying that Arale is stronger than that level. Which we know from her feats.

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.

Why are people under the impression that the Mafuba was pointless in the Black arc? It did it's job it's what caused the fusion between the enemy pair. I loved how Zamasu then realised that toying with the mortals was a bad idea since well they demonstrated what they can do. In that regard the Mafuba fullfilled it's purpose.

By the way, since now there are 2 versions of Future Trunks in one Future Timeline, maybe the one from that world became a Time Patroller, as we see in XenoVerse & Heroes, while the other one stayed on Earth with Mai.

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.

The Mafuba was just a plot device. Without it, the plot wouldn't have moved along.

Did you even read what I wrote? How is it still pointless? Was Goku going SS against Freeza pointless then because Goku still didn't end up killing Freeza?

I don't know that I'd be disappointed, but I'm certainly not expecting him to be wished back. His nearly getting wished back seems to be shaping up into a running gag.

I hope they show King Kai saying the other Kai's make fun of him for being dead, like they did in the Pikkon arc.

They already did in episode 3.

Anyway, now i'm not surprised that King Ryu is writing the next episode: He's the only one at Toei who's giving a shit about this running gag, and i love it (see: ep 29, 43 and now this.)

Supposedly the up coming episode is Fukushima and King Ryu is the Goku VS Arale episode.

Oh, shit, really? Well, these two are giving a shit about Kaio at least. :D
Do you know who's writing the episode with Champa and the baseball stuff?

I'd like to see them permenantly fuse, creating time patrol trunks.

Whenever the universal Tournament starts and there are 2 Zenos there I wonder how the other universes with react to it.

I imagine they are going to be looking for someone to blame.

Uhm maybe because it didn't seal him away? Because it failed to do so, allowing them to fuse and become an even bigger threath? That's why.

- Universe 10 GoD-

Can't believe FT Trunks arc just ended and they didn't even bother to mention the God of Destruction from Universe 10.
With the link between Kaioshin and God of Destruction revealed in this arc, his/her name should have been brought to conversation. I'm more disappointed about that, than we don't have a name for FT Trunks new form yet.

I was also thinking how Universe 10 GoD would react when he/she find out Beerus killed Zamasu, someone from his/her Universe.
Beerus is assigned to Universe 7 and he shouldn't mess with the balance of other Universes. In this case Beerus saved Universe 10 GoD life by saving Gowasu, but not everyone is thankful, and Universe 10 GoD could not like what he did and things would get spicy really quick. I would like they went that route, but in the end not even his/her name was mentioned. :thumbdown:

- Arale vs Goku-

I feel like Arale vs Goku episode may ruin some people power levels charts again, because they don't know who she is and that little girl will give Goku a hard time. It will be fun.
It would be even better if it was Arale vs SSB Vegetto. :lol: :lol:
A world without Dragon Ball is just meh.

I like how Bulma put her RoF look back on in the NEP.

Goku, Vegeta, what are y'all waiting for?

I'm disappointed as much as you, I mean if they expanded the universe in BoG saying that are other eleven Hakaishins, that arc would be perfect to introduce the one from Universe 10, can't believe Toriyama didn't think about that or just don't care, is like Beerus is his small pet :problem:
