On the back of the card (this is typically where they list specific form names), right under the "Gogeta: BM" name at the top it says "Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan: Evolution".
Oh nice! Thank you—that confirms what it’s supposed to be then. Definitely interesting to me how the anime decided to draw it. It definitely looks cool, just distinct from Vegeta.

It's only the start. It's DBH, so it's not gonna be groundbreaking or anything, but it's interesting so far.

Really interesting match-ups.
Hit vs Hirudegan seems great
Kid Buu and Janemba too.

Hopefully, they'll flesh them out and not make background noise out of them as usual, the potential of those fights is enormous.



So, who is Cumber, really? I've heard things like he is an ancient saiyan or something like that.

Also, Turles has Cumber-like long hair, what does that mean?

Dang, yet another tournament arc, huh? I guess it’s been a few years since the ToP but I prefer the non-tournament stories personally.

That said, the match ups look like fun and I love how the Gokus are just excited to have an excuse to fight each other.

In the previous arc, he gained this new form(?) which seems to be from two things:
- Fu gave him dark saiyan powers that he engineered from studying Cumber
- turles never stops eating tree-of-might fruit. Like he has fruit in hand for a lot of the last arc :lol:

So is Yamcha out already? Was his inclusion just a cruel joke?

Were the scrolls disappearing people getting eliminated? Or a measure of the time.

So is the blue kaioshin doing this for fun or are they like gambling as to who gets to be kaioshin.

I really wish they had let Yamcha own some ginyus or something first.
Yamcha almost certainly did not cheat on Bulma:
He was afraid of Women, Bulma was the flirty one.
Yamcha wanted to get married (it was his gonna be his wish)
He suggested they settle down in the Trunks saga.
Alternate future Trunks is not a reliable source.
Toriyama wanted new SSJ Kids and not make new characters.

No idea, but he's in the Intro and listed on the new official website so maybe they'll let him play some kind of a role.

Unlike everyone else his Bio doesn't explain who he is, I guess they just did bios for everyone, and called him lucky and then owned him for cheap laughs. Poor Yamcha deserves better, the only plus side of stupid Toei original shit is they COULD do good stuff Toriyama wouldn't do. Like write the humans. But alas...

he's an Evil Saiyan from the "past"(unclear how much in the past)
Also, Turles has Cumber-like long hair, what does that mean?
that's his Evil Saiyan form.

Yeah, apparently "Evil Saiyan" is a transformation or, more likely, a base-form change(as Cumber can still transform in SS) you get if you become evil enough.
Turles apparently got it by keep eating the Fruit of Power


No, we still have no idea what the hell does "Evil Saiyan" actually mean.



On a side note: Turles might actually be Turles(Angel). Kinda disappointed Boujack didn't kept his new design though.

Turles being bought back for a day would be cool as itd not undermine his surprisingly well done death

Episode 41:

My goodness, I never though I would be so hyped by something small like this lol

- Aios seems to be an interesting new villain

- They invited Yamcha?! So cool! For the ones who thought Heroes were all about punch and brawls, I missed someone like him or Krillin for a comic relief

- Trunks with his original hair design, turning SSJ God while facing Tapion? That's how you do SUPER!

- Z Broly vs Jiren, Janemba vs Boo? That's so freaking awesome!

- I know this all a bunch of nonsense, but the premise of this Tournament of Space and Time got me more hyped the Tournament of Power itself

New episode was odd.

We confirmed Goten and Gohan Xeno explicitly although it was obvious.
The hooded person on the xeno team is doubtlessly Chronoa given the now visible pink skin, height, xeno team affiliation and the zoom in when someone said kaioshin of time.
Future Gohan all but confirmed as one of the hooded guys in black.
Raditz confirmed in the anime as well as manga only SS3 here. (The eyebrows prove it)

What was odd was Yamcha, Trunks and Hearts getting the gold thing and ending the early rounds so none of the other fights conclude or matter. Weird. The gold things would allow a weaker team to get through but if they end up fighting the warriors in black I guess it's lucky for them they didn't.

As usual this just generated hype for the manga which is better done and has already given us more battles.

What did y'all think?
Yamcha almost certainly did not cheat on Bulma:

Yamcha wanted to get married (it was his gonna be his wish)

Same thoughts. Is the Tournament part already over or what? I thought that was supposed to be the main draw, then again, back during BBM they advertised GoDs as being relevant yet they did absolutely nothing but stand there.

Feels like such a waste if it will only be fights against the Cloaked Warriors now. At least Hearts is still there.

This premise of "Random vs Random" characters is what fans wanted to see in Heroes anyway.
They came up with a goldmine and then immediately digged it back in :lol:

Episode 42:

That was a good animated episode

SSJ3 Raditz was nice but I don't know something feel weird about him and Tullece, probably their artsyle as they resemble Vegeta and Gohan respectively.

- Love how Yamcha is getting some love in this arc lol

- God Trunks vs. Black Hood guy was a bit lame, but I liked Aios introduction

I thought for sure Freeza eliminated Yamcha, they made it look like that but yeah glad he won.

Yeah Future Gohan was a bit too OP here, and I dunno why the Xeno team aren't going in more than one at a time given that they are more serious people than the U7 guys. But maybe thats how the blue kaioshin ordered it to happen.

Not sure how she decides who fights who at this stage.

Really looking forward to the manga version.
