"Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread

RT if you're stalking the internet for the next chapter to leak

Can't wait for Chapter 8!

I realize everyone is excited, but remember that this is a discussion forum. Not Twitter or a chat room.

Does this confirm the names of the contestants?

Yeah, that page clearly says the saiyan's name is Kyabe (キャベ). I'll be interested to see if the English romanization changes to Cabba as some have suggested.

So tempting to look... Don't know if I should..

Hoping those spoilers aren't true as it was actually nice that Buu was picked over another Saiyan (Gohan, Goten, and Trunks), so if he fails I have a feeling one of them will be brought in the replace him, which will be very disappointing.

I hope the spoiler isn't it wouldn't make sense if buu couldn't participate if he's on the poster for the arc.

Spoiler:

The fighting order is determined by rock paper scissors.
The order is Gokû, Piccolo, Vegeta, Monaca.
Team Champa's order is unknown, but Botamo goes first.

Spoiler:

Will Goku switch afterwords or fight till he loses to one of them ?

If they could replace fighters whenever one failed then the tournament would never end so chances are who entered the test are the only ones qualified to fight.

Who knows? Rules can be changed afterall, but going by normal rules you are in the ring until you're defeated or win the whole she-bang.

So the chapter is out and it seems like the spoilers are true. Buu fails the test and Goku begins to fight Botamo.

LMAOOOOOO, Everyone was right! What a joke of a character Buu is!

Chapter 8 is available (somewhere illegally)

Poor Goku:

Counting is hard.

The manga's pacing seems to have slowed down to a reasonable level now. Goku and Winnie the Pooh's fight only just got going, so hopefully it stays at this pace for the upcoming chapters. Would be nice to pretend it's not just a promo manga.

I really wonder what Kyabe said to Goku and Vegeta

[ArchedThunder]

I am legitimately upset that they did that with Buu :/

If it's a Baba style tournament how does it make sense at all to have Piccolo come after Goku? Either Goku is going to be cheated out of a win or Piccolo is going to get completely destroyed.
I'm getting the feeling this tournament isn't going to last very long and is just going to be a lead in into a new arc.

[Doctor.]

Boo failed the test?

Sigh. C'mon Toriyama.

Dude, what's the matter with Boo failing in the test? He will not be replaced, relax.

I wanted to see Buu fight, that's why I'm upset about it.
Is it said that there will be no substitute or that they just don't have one yet?

[sintzu]

It's going to take awhile to get through the fights if it keeps this pace up for the rest of the tournament.

Boo failed the test?

Sigh. C'mon Toriyama.

Buu can't put a full sentence together so is it really that surprising ?

[Draconic]

I really like the chapter! Goku just barely getting the exam (I guess?) is great fun xD sad about Buu, though. Really wanted to see him fight, since while I don't like him as a character, his fights were always entertaining. Kyabe being a good kid... Just gives more credence to him being a Gohan clone, but he might prove interesting once we get the translations. Goku going first is... Weird. I guess he tags out after beating Bottamo (I don't think there's any doubt about that) which means my boy Piccolo is next... Meaning he will probably fight Magetta. I really wanna see him vs Frost though.

The announcer looks great! (not the penguin guy, which I need a little more context to say anything about). And yeah... That's pretty much it. Not as good as last chapter, but it is pretty great. Excited to see all this stuff in Super!

Oh, I get it. Well, I would prefer Boo to fight Poo either, anyway... Yes, it was said there will be no substitute.
