"Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread

The way females are handle in dragon Ball don't end up very well in the end. I know this one might be different but the character would be in much better shape in the series if he was just a boy

Considering what has happened to Videl, Chi Chi, and to a certain extent 18 (my favorite female in the cast who has also become more docile) lately, that's kind of fair. Then again, I am liking Vados so far and another interesting female character would be welcome.

--Universe 6 Saiyans have lost their tails via the evolution process.

Hmm... so pure blooded Saiyans can evolve to a point where there can lose their tails? Interesting. I wonder what other effects there are for Saiyans when they evolve? Perhaps they gain access to more latent power more innately or maybe a completely different transformation to what Super Saiyan can offer? The plot thickens...

[Basaku]

It's not like 'boys' who ain't named Goku/Vegeta are fairing much better than Chi-Chi or 18 at this point...

I'm so disappointed U6 Saiyans don't have tails... It was always one of the coolest design aspects of Goku/Saiyans seriously Toriyama....

I need you to come up with some excuse how will my Goten get golden tail-included SSJ4 design in Super and I need you to do it right now

[jcogginsa]

My guess is that planet Salad doesn't have a moon, rendering the tail worthless.

[phattangent]

The possibility of seeing a canon female SSJ is fine to me.

Same for me too, especially if she ends up being just as powerful (if not more) than Goku and Vegeta. That would be awesome.

It sorta explains why Goten, Trunks and Pan were born without them, I guess?

[Lord Beerus]

Cabba's probably from Planet Salad, which I'm pretty sure is the original Saiyan planet. Vegeta seems to recognize it, saying there was some sort of internal conflict & some Saiyans left to Planet Vegeta. I think Salad was destroyed, not sure how though. As fun as this is, I'm just gonna let Herms do the rest.

Planet Salad? Are you fucking serious?!

Not when Gohan is from the same generation and Chi-Chi isn't part Saiyan. Of course Toriyama can ignore all that and say "no tail just 'casue" but it's not how it should work...

[LightBing]

Saiyans lost their tails because they acquired SSJ making Oozaru useless, it's a logical evolution. This pretty much confirms Universe 6 Saiyans are very strong, likely to have many members with SSJ.

Loving the tidbits, keep them coming and thank you for translating.

Another update from my Korean friend lads...

He says that Piccolo states "He doesn't sense an evil aura from Frost". So yes I think Frost is a good emperor.

Herms is mass tweeting information right now.

Piccolo's mad at Boo because he spells his name wrong on the test. Boo yells that he's never done anything like this before.

This gave me a tremendous laugh. XD

Even in U7 saiyans Tails are a Recessive Gene

Oh my God.

Magetta looks like a robot, but is in fact a species of alien known as a "Metal Man".

I'm very glad there are more robots like Magetta. Can provides a Transformers-esque feel about it. I dig that. It opens the door to a lot of potential great stories and world building.

The Saiyans of U6 are based on a planet called "Salad". In U7, the Saiyans lived there too before it was destroyed by "internal discord".

So a Saiyan Civil War happened. Kinda like the backstory of the Original Super Saiyan God. Could that indicate that the transformation exists in that universe too?

Frost is apparently the emperor of U6, and appears to be hiding something. It's hinted what we see is just his first form (unsurprisingly).

Hmm. I don't know how to feel about that. Hopefully it's not as exaggerated as Freeza's transformations.

[Kishido]

I will wait for the whole translation. So far I do not get anything

[Jaetinh]

Frost final form is probably just a Blue version of Golden/final form Frieza, we all know Toriyama's way of thinking by now. As simple as possible.

And Goku's hair just going up and turning yellow wasn't simple? The design was even made for the real world reason of making it where there was less inking to be done - Toriyama looking for the easy way out is hardly a new trend in his writing/designing.

Yeah but that's the hybrid one's. Regular full blooded Saiyans should have a tail, I dislike this new development. I miss Great Ape.

Hmm so I might not be totally wrong then. I'm happy to hear that, if its true. A Freeza clone in personality would have been boring, glad they aren't taking that route.

Boo spelling his name wrong is actually pretty funny.

Goten cannot lack tail gene. It may be not expressed, but he has a brother with a tail which means Chi-Chi has to carry tail gene as well and there won't be any evolution process taking place with Goku/Chi-Chi. I mean yes, we're talking "just cartoon" and all, but it's Toriyama who insist on bringing evolution and genetics into it lol
