I just hope that they've finally surpassed Beerus.

True it's "kya", but Herms' translation went with "ca" (for cabbage), so I'm sticking with my theory.

Before I saw him type "Cabe" I had initially thought it was "Kyabe" since Google Translate said "Kyabe".


If he's just some random saiyan who happens to be really strong my interest is going to drop in him exponentially back to where it was when I originally first saw and dismissed him; but if he's Uni 6 Gokû and Vegeta's son I will actually be invested in what's going on with him.
I'm just at this point where I'm clear-cut about what characters and plot stuff I do and don't care about in regards to Dragon Ball. ^^;

Yeah, but that character design is "a little over the top" I mean, the powerful guy being a short dude with big ass nipples? Really? I only like it when women have those nipples(yeah, yeah I'm a perv). To me, the whole "little shrimp is a powerful being" thing only worked with Freeza, other than that, I consider this slacking, because I thought in the early days he was evolving in his art (i.e. Cell and Super Buu looking like actual threats).
Monaka might be female, for all we know.

That's because "cabbage" is said "kyabetsu" in Japanese. Just like "carrot" is "kyarotto".

For what it's worth, Whis treated him as male in the Korean version of the text.

Everyone's all dissapointed by Mr. Nipple. Give it a month or two to see him in action and everyone will all of a sudden be huge fans of him.

Don't judge a book by its cover. Just wait. Be patient. Relax. Calm down. Enjoy the Manga and show.

I'm torn on that. Initially:
-I liked Whis design, but later grew to like his character.
-I liked Beerus' character, but later grew to like his design

Mostly the character does have to have a good design though imo; first impressions and character interest after all. That's why I'm not interested in Monaca, but interested in Winnie the Buu over there.

Not!Cell looks like a toss away movie villain, I'm all Freeza'd out too much to enjoy not!Freeza, I'm not that big a mecha fan, and my interest in mystery saiyan depends entirely on if he's Uni 6 Gokû and Vegeta's son or not because his design doesn't do much for me outside of that. I would've liked a taller guy, but if he's short because he's Vegeta's kid I can accept that.

If he's just some random strong saiyan though, I don't care about him.

I still don't get why people say the Purple dude looks like Cell, he looks WAY more like a Namekian.
I also don't get why people still think we are getting alternate versions of characters.

EDIT: OH THANK GOD, we got confirmation that the "Age 41" thing was not the Earth Calender, it's the Divine Calender! So I wonder if that means the Super Dragon Balls were made 41 years after the creation of the universe.

Yeah, Nail was what he reminded me when I first saw him.
People saw the Freeza look-alike and assumed everyone follows the old villain theme.

When I look at his face alone all I can see is Cell. When I look at him as a whole I see a bald purple Mira.

That's just common human nature and there's nothing wrong with it imo. It's the same reason I haven't watched One Piece... I really don't like the art style.

Off-topic, clearly Toriyama is not an artist who does stuff just for his own amusement and puts away his work in the drawing board.

This theory works better if the purple guy is alternate Piccolo. Cell was also an android. =P

With that said, it makes sense. I mean, both team leaders are also alternate versions of each other.
"Dragon Ball once became a thing of the past to me, but after that, I got angry about the live action movie, re-wrote an entire movie script, and now I'm complaining about the quality of the new TV anime. It seems Dragon Ball has grown on me so much that I can't leave it alone." - Akira Toriyama on Dragon Ball Super

Yeah, and if bear and robot changed places, it would be exactly like order of the sagas: piccolo, saiyan, freeza, cell, boo.

I hope the bot isn't evil and becomes a member of the Dragon Team later. Or, at the very least, that he doesn't job immediately to Goku/Vegeta/Monaca to show off their strength.

Are their names confirmed to be the ones retweeted by Mr. Herms?

I believe the start of this Divine Calendar(Year 0) is probably the beginning of the Universe and Time itself..

It's a much easier to follow calendar. (as opposed to that horrible and confusing "Age Calendar" the series had been using up to this point.)
And i think Akira Toriyama realised that.

Makes sense right?
