Sure there isn't. :wink:

You mean incest? They're still probably sisters ya know.
They're not sisters, but if they were, I still wouldn't mind. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Oh totally. Consider the homoerotic subtext of Vegeta and Goku slamming dick-first into each other to become Vegito, now imagine how that would be for two characters who already have a heap of romantic undertones between them.

Expect the number of Dragon Ball Super/Steven Universe AMVs on Youtube to skyrocket after this episode, I'm calling it now.
Oh, I wouldn't want to subject Dragon Ball Super to being compared to an ugly series like Steven Universe. :(

They're not related. It's more of a friendship thing.
We still don't know that for sure. It could be either, but I'm leaning on them being siblings.
As much as I love me some good incest in fiction, the terms used imply a stereotypical gangster relationship between Kale and Caulifla, not an actual blood-relation.

Mind you, it doesn't stop the use of the words 'ane-san' and 'imouto' from being hot, but...

I'm ready for Freeza run in.

He will wait for Kalefla to difuse, with the girls being completely exhausted would be the perfect chance for Freeza to sneak attack them.

Do we even have time for that? 25 minutes left to the tournament and he will teach them the Fusion Dance in less than 10 minutes? That doesn't make any sense! Will he get Ultra Instinct in time to be able to defeat this abomination? Find out on the next episode of Dragon Ball Super!

I will address a couple things I've heard from others though.

I'm confused why the fusion is now fan fic territory. What's so fan ficky about using an already established concept in the series? I don't even care about fusion all that much outside of Gotenks, and I understand people want to see new shit, but the concept of fusion is a thing in the dragonball world. Why wouldn't they use it? It's not fan fiction to use things that are apart of the world.

Some people say they shouldn't know what fusion is. Why? Nothing the U6 fighters ever said or did indicated that fusion isn't a thing they were not aware of. At the very worst Goku just teaches it to them and they learn it in 10 seconds.

It almost seems Caulifla and Kale can't so much as move an inch without igniting rage around here.
This is literally how people should be reacting towards this especially regarding the fusion concept.
I'm not even sure what you mean by that. It would help your point if you could expand on your thoughts.

It's like I said before. I can see why people wouldn't like this idea as if you don't like Caulifla and Kale you likely don't want to see more of them. But the raging out and massive assumptions based on just a provisional title is really what baffles me.
Sadly enough, Reddit had a more calm reaction to the news then this site.

Reddit - curious

Remains of Gaf - Like the idea, but hate Goku getting the spotlight.

Cali and Kale really embodies bitch eating crackers.

I can understand not liking them, but some of the reactions about them is parody level.

As for the possible fusion, I guess Goku could try showing them in the middle of the ToP... but that just seems ludicrous. We shall see.
He has the ability to predict the future, as for now all the stuff he has predicted is becoming true.

Fair enough. I've enjoyed the show thus far. But I'm also a realist, who understands this stuff makes no sense by leaps and bounds in terms of power scaling, all the different contradictions, asspulls, etc. Just got to have fun and enjoy the show. Otherwise what's the point in watching? To hope it goes the way we want it? Nah, I'll just enjoy the good with the bad.... even if there is a lot of bad.

That said, What do you guys think is gonna happen with Vegeta? My common sense tells me he gets a power up and probably beats Toppo, then gets dragged by Jiren worse than Goku... but it's odd how calm he is.

Toshio indirectly spoiled Vegeta will survive Toppo.

As for power scaling goes, just make it like Marvel and DC, period.

This is extremely subjective and you’re really not helping your case. I respect you solely on your love of Piccolo but your hate on anything Saiyan related is not only unnecessary, but it’s getting to the point where you’re trying to project your subjective perspective of them as something objective, and in turn you’re becoming almost like a parody of yourself.

Hana Midorikawa it is called an opinion and it seems like you don't like people having opinions. It is extremly subjective as I can't say anything objective on this subject as it is impossible to. Also if you can't tell I am not exactly being 100% serious.

If you don't like my posts then just ignore me like Swifticuffs said but at least I usually have different opinions and thoughs than most other people.

Did you expect anything less? DB fanbase and their knee jerk reaction to things despite little info. We literally only got a provisional title, and people are assuming things. The thing that baffles me the most is whether people like the idea or not, they assume something and convince themselves of it so it makes them even more adamant about how they feel about this.

Fusing together means they have nothing left as single beings so it is their last effort. When the fusion runs out Frieza will be there to finish them.

Its funny how people arent even counting on Goku when it comes to ringing them out despite him being the one fighting those 2 but rather counting on Freeza to do the job, Freeza really won a lot of fans in this arc.

Kale and Caulifla fusing sounds cool, I don't know why so many people are against it. Just relax and wait for the episode to air, then you can complain if you find it bad.
