I was expecting he/she to go the normal route and use ssj4, but there's no tail...Still waiting for something different.
I guess they could change up SSJ4 origins/requirements completly, rename it etc and just keep the design. But at this point I'm more expecting fully new design than re-canonization of SSJ4 design :(

BTW, if U7 team loses, Earth switches places and retroactively it is established that EOZ takes palce in U6 already then poor GT will be officially 100% non-canon lol

So did Boo wrote his name as Oob or something? That would be something. Magetta was sweating during the exam - akin to Goku -, apparently he's the dumbest of his group.

Why call it Salad and not Salada, like how it's written?

Magetta was sweating because he could barely hold the pen with his huge fingers.

Too close to the name of a new Naruto character, maybe?

I would laugh if Cabba busts out a renamed SSJ4. But I'm kinda hoping that he has something...different, or heck Cabba isn't even a super saiyan and he's just a really powerful Base Saiyan.

Maybe in Universe 6 "God" became the regular Super Saiyajin form and the golden one we know was what the evil Saiyajin used at the time. This could create drama when Goku and Vegeta turn Blue.

That's why I'm going with "Salad" instead of "Salada". Salada/Sarada is already

Seeing it again, yeah that makes sense. I sure hope we get to see his planet and background story.

This will always crack me up. :lol: :clap:
40%?! What generous schools did you go to :lol:

Speaking of dragging the anime out, do we have next 5 episode titles yet or so? Wanna know how many episodes until first fight actually starts

After reading Herms, Super is doing a really awesome job on world building. This is probably the best world building that Dragon Ball has done in a while in my opinion. Not to mention that the original Saiyan info is pretty good too. It being destroyed in Universe 7 pretty much contradicts GT Perfect File's info on the original Saiyan Planet still being out there. I don't mind the new Saiyan being good. Evil Saiyans can never work again unless you want to rehash Radditz, Vegeta or Broli. Turles himself was a water down version of Radditz and Vegeta. I'm done with evil saiyans to be honest.

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
If we get one which we probably will, it'll probably be a main long arc.

This test has the potential to be one of the funniest things in the franchise so hopefully they do a good job with it.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

Didn't the test stipulate that you needed a percentage score of above 50% to participate? Goku technically didn't meet that criteria so I'm not sure why he's being allowed to continue. Imagine the reactions that would inspire if Goku was disqualified right from the beginning. Beerus's team would really be at a disadvantage then because they're essentially down to only two contenders who can pose a threat for U6's group.

Don't think it has been released just yet. New episodes titles are bound to come out really soon since the arc starts in a couple of days.

That was the pass mark in the University I went to for tests and coursework. Of course, this is the UK I'm talking about, so it's kinda the standard here. I'm not sure what the pass mark would be in other countries around the world.

We know for sure that there's an arc coming after this tournament. Toriyama himself said that they'll go to U6 to search for Super Dragon Ball(s). They'll probably visit Salad then.

Magetta have his own race surprises me. I assumed he was just a robot created by someone, and could even have someone inside him to pilot.
Interesting.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academic_grading_in_Japan says lowest acceptable score in many schools is a 50; so Gokû barely scraped by.

It'd be like getting a D- in a school in the U.S.
