That's mildly disappointing, but it could always come later I suppose, if not actually having something there in the anime version of things.

To not spoil that it's going to be a lop sided tournament right away probably.
There's also the possibility that, should the tournament not actually get to play out to it's conclusion, Boo still gets a fight there somehow or another.

Which sucks because I was hoping for him to fight Winnie the Pooh at least instead the only ones that are going to do anything are vegeta,goku,and monaka.

The tournament likely will take longer to start in the anime, so Buu might pop up in a few episodes, which would explain including him in promo stuff.

I'm upset about it as well, but we'll see how the arc plays out, maybe Buu will get to be of some use.

Fun looking chapter. Can't wait to know what is said.

-Goku barely passes. I called that. Too easy of a joke not to see coming. Still kinda funny, but too predictable.
-Called Boo would probably fail, though I wasn't fully convinced and did match him up with Botamo anyways. So that's 1 extra character down who didn't get any good showing. I'm 1/1 so far. If Piccolo jobs like I predict he will, that' 2/2.
-The saiyan seems like a really nice person and possibly polite I hear? Yeah already getting the Gohan clone number 3 vibes. Let's hope that's not the case.
-Wait so they're not gonna replace Boo at all? That's lame. It's lame he can't fight, but even lamer that the 5th spot is now vacant. Come on send Kibito to get Gohan or get someone in the audience who can fight at the very least.
-Goku and Botamo's fight is pretty cool. I like it.

So Kyabe is a little kid after all (and a nice little kid).

Not to "this is a very Gokû question of me", but Kyabe is a boy, right? There's semi-old rumors floating around the internet that Kyabe's a girl.

Gokû balancing that pencil on his face, and Vegeta's plan blowing up on him (and Gokû giving him that sour face) was great.

Interesting that Botamo has Buu (well, Buu and Freeza) type ears (only they're where a bear's ears would be).

It was the kanji for "6". They're most likely there to cheer the team.

So, I'm reading the 2ch thread and spotted a guy that was giving spoilers about the chapter. He does talk about some of the dialogue. While I don't know if he's to be trusted, he did get everything right about the chapter so I'll post it but take this with a grain of salt.

Like previously said, Cabba/Kyabe/Cabe is a pure, good Saiyajin that doesn't like bad stuff.
Beers has a barrier covering the ring so the audience doesn't get involved.
Magetta isn't a robot but an alien (species?) known as Metalman.
Botamo looks "tufty" but actually he's slippery/smooth.
Goku says "this could end with just me" so I guess it's a confirmation this is like the tournament at Uranai Baba's.

I'm not going to lie -- so far the tournament seems underwhelming to me. If Piccolo is exploited as a sacrificial lamb to demonstrate how powerful the other team is then the arc will have lost some serious credibility with me. Not everyone is rooting exclusively for the two Saiyans and I doubt Monaka is garnering the same enthusiasm from fans like Piccolo does. On the plus side, Kyabe seems to have more personality than many of us probably anticipated he would. I'm actually looking sort of forward to more interactions with him.

If Kyabe is a girl maybe she will be the wife of either Goten or Trunks. :D
That poor Botamo Goku is toying with him. So we won't see SSB in the first round or is Botamo powering up at the end?

I wished they would air some double episodes of Super.

A pretty good chapter I must say but as said above a lot of the stuff was quite predictable...

We'll probably see it once they fight Froze, Kyabe or hit (or is it heat ?)

They're having trouble putting out 1 a week so 2 is out of the question.

So much Hype!

- First thing first, is Cabba a boy or a girl? :lol: He/She seems to be nicer than I thought.
- Buu fails the test?! A lot of people saw this one coming, but personally I was expetcing him somehow to pass with the lowest score and fight Botamo.
- Goku fight first was surprising. The fight seems interesting.

Patiently waiting for the translations. This manga doesn't disappoint me.

A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

Goku is taking the L at some point. It may end with Vegeta or Mommoka.

Is that a Majin (魔人) announcer at the tournament?

Vegeta just got the final battle with Freeza so I doubt Toriyama will give him another one this soon if ever again.

Beerus hyped up Monaca quite a bit so I can see him getting it or Piccolo if he wants to surprise us.

Anyone else spot what looks like Monoca's parents in the stands? They're sitting together in the frame where the announcer announces Gokû as he steps into the ring.
