And 5 warriors from an uninhabited Earth would make more sense because...? Besides, Beerus and co. don't want it.

That is the correct line, "five individuals from each universe". It's U7's Earth that is in dispute, we don't know yet what Beerus' team would gain from winning, other than keeping their Earth.
I know it's a long shot, but if planet Vegeta still exists in U6, what if Beeru's wants it if he wins?
though I think it would be more of something like every planet with decent food in U6 on the line for U7's Earth, since apparently Earth in U7 has better food than any planet in U6.

And bring back the entire saiyan race to Universe 7?! That's how you ruin one of the few casualties that this series still has.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

I'm not sure Beerus likes Saiyans in general… Like he likes the Earth Saiyans with their good battles and good food, but he didn't like King Vegeta and he wanted Freeza to destroy them, so… why would he want them back?

Battle of Gods Beerus didn't seem to mind them so long as they weren't rude (which King Vegeta presumably was), as he was treating Vegeta like a friend until shit hit the fan. But Super's Beerus seems to really dislike them; mentally torturing Vegeta and not wanting to waste his full power on a mere Saiyan... yeah, I doubt he'd want another Planet Vegeta.

Maybe the only way he would go for it would be if they were all righteous and could give him a ton of Super Saiyan Gods to fight (assuming they could eventually make it to his level, anyway)? xD

Battle of Gods Beerus was going to destroy the Saiyans as well, and Super's Beerus also treated Goku with kindness. Both of them just hate the Vegeta family.

That would be crazy, assuming that an army of saiyans would be able to reach that God form. It would be way too much going on to ever truly work in a story though.

I have no idea whether this is a self-parody or a rehash, but it feels sort of lazy.

No, in fact they seem to be using a different arm too, so over all it's pretty much not connected. I see where you find it easy to make the distinction though, with the way this franchise doles out blasts you are bound to be in this type of position once in awhile.

The same expressions with the same camera angles, background, "!!" in the balloons, and the exactly corresponding onomatopoeia. They're both from a training scene, too. Also, of course, the same artist! I don't think this is a coincidental match.

Yeah, that's no coincidence: Even the fight sequence leading up to the blast is lifted almost panel for panel.

I don't particularly mind, though; it works well enough in context as not to feel hamfisted.

Although there have been shots similar to this since cell arc in the manga, I do think you could be correct, those similarities you pointed out are valid connections to make a case about the lack of originality. One final thing i would add is that if you're right, I don't particularly mind as long as these type of shots are well placed and not constantly over used in an unoriginal way.

There's definitely similarities.

Ιt's not traced, and it's a cool reference to his AF manga.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

I would like to see a universe in this manga where non Saiyan z warriors really gained immense power levels on par with saiyans some how, the way this happened would be left to the writers as I can't imagine it and also another universe as others have said where Planet Vegeta exists because it would give us rare insight to a planet that we haven't spent much time on.

When was the second page released? I thought I had all of Toyble's creation's but apparently I don't :crazy:
I only have one page of Goku being a SSJ 5 had no idea this one existed.

About the recycled choreography: Is it possible that Toyotaro is trying to dispel any lingering doubts that he and "Toyble" are one and the same? Or was the fact already overwhelmingly beyond dispute?

At all events, though -- even if it was clear as crystal beforehand -- I'm still more inclined to regard it as a rascally nod and a wink on his part than as some sort of lazy expedient.

It might be blown out of proportion and just another part of the dragon ball super manga that happens to be similar to the other page.

I personally wonder if there's anyone in Universe 6 anywhere near as strong as Goku or Vegeta. I find it hard to believe that there's Gods just running around that universe.

Whis will probably force them to wear those suits during the tournament, but I could be wrong.

If Goku and Vegeta exist, why can't there be people as strong as them in U6? We don't know what happened there. Goku and Vegeta are Gods and they're running around their universe. Freeza was too. Universe 6 may even have Kaioshins that are stronger than Champa and Vados.

Am I reading this right, Gold Ice lizard's power shook the entire universe when he powered up in the manga against Goku?
He devolved into saying only one word. Time to hit the ol' cosmic trail.
