Oh G. Now I'm picturing 'Whis' like the Whos in Whoville from Dr. Seuss. :lol:

Its already bad that Toriyama is getting lazy with character designs, and now he will be lazy to give names too?!
If anything, Whis may be the name of their race. But every race member has his own name to distinguish themselves, just like: earhtlings, saiyans, namekians, gods, even androids and etc...have.
Don't be so dismissive, not all races are the same. Some might have a hive mind sort of thing.

You know, like Ultron. Nobody's pissed off that he didn't name every little bot that shared his consciousness.

Whis identity is one of the most gripping mysteries much more than Champa.

Broly was fine in Movie 8 once he got free of his Father, M10 is the reason that people hate Broly.

by the visa dbs it goes in the same period that beerus awoke.
一方、宇宙の彼方では39年ぶりに目覚めた破壊神ビルスが、予知夢で見た自分のライバルになり得るであろう何者かの名前を思い出すべく奮闘していた。果たしてその者の名前は!?

New Dragon Ball Super figures revealed:

Could that new character be the "dinosaur guy with the nasty attitude" that Beerus asked to destroy Earth? And does this mean we will see Coola in Super? If so, I'm hoping it's just a flash back and there is no Resurrection of C.

I will facepalm myself repeatedly if we see Coola in Super.

He has no place there at all.

They have been including filler characters, so he could be mentioned, and I wouldn't mind if he is, but I don't want him coming back.

They've been including irrelevant character as a nod to the fans.

Coola is kind of a big deal. At least when Battle of Gods put King Veggiemeister in there, Vegeta Jr seemed different than the filler/TV special versions of him.

Seconded. Although, I've always wanted Cooler to be officially recognized by Toriyama, I want it to done through lip service or a very brief cameo in a flashback. He has no place in Super.

That's weird... Mr Toriyama must really have rediscovered his passion for everything Freeza related. Makes more and more curious about the FnF arc.

Pretty sure that's just one of Frieza's men. Beerus was likely referring to T-Rex or something.

I don't mind as long as we don't get scenes from his movies. Frieza mentioning a brother, and them showing a shot of him wouldn't bother me. Just shows Cooler is canon, but not necessarily Cooler from the movies.

You think Beerus asked a T-Rex to destroy Earth for him?

Nah, they are just figures released along with the show. ROF key chains had key chains for SSj3 Vegito and Uub. Neither of them show up in the movie.

This. And why are people overlooking the DragonBall Z logo? There would be no reason to have it there if those were all Super-related figures..

My guess is a mistranslation.

I'm pretty sure that figure line just wanted to do all Freeza related characters to plug RoF but Cooler and Cold would be interesting additions.

I'm hoping they are figures that are there just because they are Freeza related. I also don't want Coola appearing in Super, like others have said, he really shouldn't have a place here.

I like how some people still think that GT is canon even if it showed Cooler escaping from Hell. That situation alone is enough to prove it all...

There were Broli figures under the Kai branding. Don't worry about this kind of stuff. They sure don't.
