I really like how this story is going. I love the fight with Goku and Botamo so far. Buu failing the test kinda let me down, but I think having Buu and Botamo fight would feel too obvious. I look forward on seeing the rest of the U6 fighters so far. I'm rather letdown that Frost is a emperor of Universe 6. My guess is that he is evil and probably be another rehash. However I hope Toriyama surprises me.

For the manga, and in Korean, the only one mentioned was:

Goku: Poro poro army...goes on an errand to the store….and bought 13 Kerokos…
Buu: ???
Goku: But on the way back, they met three friends…and for each friend, gave two…
Vados: Over there, please don’t talk out loud!
Goku: ...
Oh that good age ol question XD. Nice. Vados is just like those teachers when I was in high school doing exams.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

Ok with a little more info from Herms, I think Magetta has become my favorite of the U6 crew. I love alien machine races! Magetta may be the closest we get to having Cybertronians in dragon ball! If he can transform into some alt mode...Then the Machine Men race are from Cybertron to me! Suffice to say...I need more of that Metal Man. His presence is just...intimidating in a way.

I also really hope we get a mini arc with Goku and Vegeta visiting Planet Salad...who knows! We may encounter Chuquita's desired princess Goku there! :D
Going on hiatus. Too much stuff in RL to deal with for me to keep up with posts here for now. Was fun, hope you all have a nice day and future! Volt signing off.

With the many years on the net I've spent...I've learned being polite takes you much further then being a dick. So...lesson here is! Don't be a dick!

World building is the best part of Super and Toriyama's in top form in this aspect no doubt. Much better and interesting than world-building from Buu arc IMO. Now if only he could back in shape in terms of utilizing ensemble cast and progressing characterization

OH it's that kind of math problem; the "word problem" math. I can see how this would be difficult for Gokû.

Goku's not really an idiot. Hell, the fact he passed the test, albeit barely, show he's not that really book dumb. Majin Boo on the hand, was fucked from the beginning. :lol:

Goku agrees. He blames Vegeta for their situation in the chapter. (It just wasn't really noteworthy to point out.)

Vegeta: What is this…?! Now we only have 4 people over here!
Goku: You’re the one who suggested a written exam…!
Vegeta: Sh-shit!

They could take Gohan with them as well.
They don't need a loser nerd weighing them down.
Heck maybe Gohan will take the training stuff seriously again, then we'll get something like Super Ultimate Mystic Beyond God Super Saiyan God Gohan

I would be thrilled if she's there. :mrgreen: I still have hope. She could even have a vaguely dougi-like outfit (in that it's drapey, simple, and v-necked) with what I'm looking at through google about clothes in ancient Sparta.

Your right albeit barely and if goku failed the situation would've been a 3vs5 situation you would've think vegeta would thought it was a bad idea from the start.

It would have been funny if Goku got 100% while answering every question randomly, much to the dismay of Vegeta who got something like 90%.

Are we betting on exclusive U6 Saiyan new transformation for Cabe to push some more new Saiyan toys? Pretty much golden oppurtunity, especially since they've made them evolutionary different than U7 Saiyans, perfect excuse for different new transformations

U7 Saiyan girls had the same armors as guys, don't see much reason to give "princess Vegeta" some princess Sparta silk clothes

I was expecting he/she to go the normal route and use ssj4, but there's no tail...Still waiting for something different.

As a gag, that would be brilliant!
