...Actually, given that Goku is still so childlike, that's...not really too out there with how little boys often are towards girls they like. His annoying her is like his brand of flirting! :lol:
Gokuu is like a thirteen year old boy, if we take into consideration his acknowledgment of Chi-Chi being flat. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Oh, Gohan has more important things to do like studying and also to do even more studying, can't forget that he is a father now too.

On a serious note there is no surprise why Goku didn't want Gohan to join, Goku accepts for who Gohan is now and as long as he is happy Goku is

This all sounds pretty good to me. It doesn't bother me in the slightest that Gohan isnt involved.

I'm most curious about who this other fighter could be whose out there that's even stronger than Goku.

If he really was the onenwhonfought Beerus 900 years ago then it's not going to be a Saiyan.

I'm a tad disappointed Frieza isn't involved though.

Doesn't he die at the end of RoF? Who would revive him yet again?

Hmm...actually, does Beerus even know for sure that this guy he fought so many years ago is even still around? 900 years is a long time, the guy could definitely have passed on by now.

He can still fight even if dead, if Beerus asks Enma.

True, or can be wished back easily enough probably (or maybe that would be a prize for him/her if they agree to fight on Team Beerus?). I'm not doubting us actually getting to see this character after them being brought up, I'm just curious as to their status as of now.

He does but I was half hoping they'd bring him back in some way so that he'd be part of the team being that he was so powerful and with further training and getting used to his Golden form then he'd be even more so.

In any case, it's the first time Goku openly says he likes Chi-chi and why. And it makes a lot of sense.
It really does. I don't see Goku caring much for say a shy, timid girl. He admires strong people, so it makes a lot of sense that Goku would be attracted the most to a woman who is strong in character.

Words can't describe how happy and excited I am.

My boy Piccolo is finally back to battle and we also get Buu?

:clap:

It's a shame about Gohan but it is in character at least. I'm also secretly hoping Kuririn tags along with Bulma and Jaco. That would be awesome.

Yes, it is nice. If I'm reading Vegeta correctly:
悟空「そんなこと言ったらオラだってチチのこと好きだぞ!」
ベジータ「気の強い女しかいないサイヤ人の血だ・・・」
Saiyans only like strong women (like Bulma, Chi etc.). Yet another racial trait, :D

Wait a second...
Champa has 6 Super Dragon Balls... and he needs the last one (SEVEN Super Dragon Balls)...
Shouldn't they be more? If I recall, we once had a promotional image with Champa AND a Nine-star Dragon Ball.

EDIT: Not the image with Champa... but it was from Chapter 1 cover of Toyotarō manga.

The nine-star thing could very easily have been a mistake though, as nothing was ever really said about it on any official level - it was all fan speculation.

Of course, I wouldn't be surprised at all if it becomes a plot point. They think they're tracking down the last one, only to find out that with this set, they're actually three away from having them all rather than one.

Good question. I doubt that this character is someone we know. The only candidate I could even think of is the old Kaioshin, and even that doesn't make sense. Was there anything in chapter 6 that indicated that it *wasn't* this "Zuno" person? I just hope they don't pull some super strong character out of thin air and just say "yup, here he is." I want to have a reason to appreciate him joining the cast over an already established and loved character.

More awesomeness from Furukawa and Sabat as well! I'm very happy that he's going to fight.

I hope Kuririn goes with Jaco also. It seemed like the two had chemistry in Resurrection 'F'.

I'm so excited about Piccolo getting a role.

Any ideas on what Zuno could be a pun on?

"Zunou" means "brains" in Japanese.

Now to wonder how exactly he is going to get more powerful in just 5 days. Maybe that Namekian book of legends would really come into play.

Well, we already had our Mamo from Lupin the 3rd reference once in Dr. Wheelo...but I'd be fine with another. :P
