The Vegeta redevelopment and Moro arc highlights why the story staying in U7 is causing it to suffer

[Kinokima]

For those keeping score at home, this assertion is not at all accurate with respect to the following arcs:

• Battle of Gods

• Revival of F

• Universe 6 Tournament

• Tournament of Power

• Galactic Patrol Prisoner

the blushing and mentioning Bulma happened in Battle of Gods,
And Vegeta has about 5 my bulma speeches in the ToP alone

The OP is with respect to this arc and going forwards, which is currently a manga-only arc - hence all the discussion around Vegeta's latest character development in trying to make amends for what he did to the Namekians, and his comment that he'll be going to Hell.

Vegeta makes no mention of Bulma in the Manga version of the Tournament of Power during the fighting at all, and in Battle of Gods there is no need for him to be browbeaten into compliance by means of mention of Bulma either, which is what you strictly claimed, is it not?

The only time Vegeta needs to be “browbeaten” to do something is to FUSE which he dislikes to do. This is a consistent character trait of Vegeta’s and if anything is just meant to be a little funny but people take it as though it’s meant to be major character arc for some reason and not just a silly scene of Vegeta being a bit Tsundere

For the record in the manga TOP it’s Vegeta who suggests to Goku they should work together
