Have to say I'm quite happy with the turnout.

A Toriyama style steam robot

Winnie the Pooh - Dragon Ball style

What looks like DB Evolution's King Piccolo with purple skin

A Saiyan/Half Saiyan kid

And lastly a member of Frieza's race, YAY!

Honestly better then I hoped, no Broly thank god. I look forward to seeing them in action.

How do you pronounce Monaca?

Mon-a-ca? Mon-ah-ca? -Mo-na-ca?

The Japanese language only has 5 main sounds, so it would be Mo-na-ka

Mo as in motor, Na is in naughty, Ka as in kanzenshuu.

That new character is probably the laziest, worst designed character in the history of the manga. Good lord, that's awful.

I think he means compared to the characters who appear in the manga cause they're all Toriyama's designs so it's a fair comparison.

As a curiosity, in case anyone knows, how are the fans in Japan reacting to this?

I agree in terms of it being a terrible design, but how is it lazy in any way?

How is it not lazy ? It's a very plain generic design.

I like his simple design, but it could have been better, like the red alien of episode 2.

Prediction: Monaca can transform, but all the transformation does is make his boobs bigger.

As awkward a design it is with those nipples, it could be weirder. Toriyama could've made it the character's package instead and named him something having to do with balls.

Then Funi'd really be in a bind.

What would be a big surprise is it transforming into a beautiful woman worrier like yoruichi in Bleach.

I swear if it transforms into a "busty beauty" I'm gonna flip a table.

Edit: beat me to it

I really hope that she/he has other forms... Maybe she convinced Beerus with her/his power of beauty... :D

Yeah there's not a lot of characters that look like him in the manga except his suit that looks like chilled from episode of Bardock.

I recall people thinking Grey from the Jump 08 special could do that, so it's possible Monaca can.

I'd be fine with just learning if she's a female character so this tournament isn't all guys.

I just saw new characters' designs and I'm impressed at how bad they were! Toriyama just.. jeez.

I don't have a single problem with the U6 team's designs, but that new guy. Just awful.

just like any other toriyama character, after you see them in action and more often you begin to like them more and more.
monaca's designe is pretty sure on purpose simple.
If toriyama thought he should look strong than he would have made him strong looking.
its not like he cant.
