"Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread

[Kakarotto92]

So nobody commented on a question I posted earlier, so I'll ask it again in a slightly different way. Are the announcer and related characters in this chapter Majin (魔人) like Buu? They seem to have the same antenna and ears as Buu. Maybe they're U6 Majin?

The so called "Majin race" only started existing in the very far future (DB Online's timeline) when Fat Buu decided to create a female companion and started reproducing with her. But yes, the announcer did remind me a bit of Kid Buu at first glance.

[Zelvin]

Probably a nitpick here, but I don't like the name "Salad", I mean things are become really goofy in this series, I can take characters with food name, but also food named planets?

Planet Vegeta.

I feel like Toriyama is just getting in touch with his roots again. The original Dragon Ball series was a very silly series that started with some...actually pretty obscene things. Like Kid Goku taking Bulma's panties off while she's asleep to see where her balls off, still not understanding that Girls are different from Boys. And Goku rather casually nut-checking people he meets to see if they're really a boy or a girl. Maybe back then you'd consider it childish innocence, but these days and knowing he was 12yrs old just feels realllllly wrong.

Even things like Goku beating wolves to death to cook and eat them. Dragon Ball was pretty damn brutal, and it was meant to be a silly fun magical adventure/martial arts comedy.

Actually it wasn't the far future, since Buu wanted to make a companion after going through Hercule's girly magazines and made Miss Buu, aka Majin Booby. And they don't really procreate so much as perform cell division to create a new majin.

Planet Vegeta.

Planet Namek (if you eat snails...), Planet Meat, Planet Kanassa, Planet Konuts...

With except of Vegeta and Meat the rest look fine and not obvious at all. Maybe I need to get used, but don't mind me because I think "Salad" is a silly name for a planet.

You're right. I always assume everything DB Online-related happened in the far future since that game is set centuries after the end of the manga, but in this specific case it appears it was only 6 years after EoZ.

And before it was named Planet Vegeta, the planet was originally called Planet Plant.

I think the reason Toriyama is bringing up U6's Saiyan planet is because the last ball is there and Beerus or Champa will want to destroy it in order to get it.
Goku & especially Vegeta aren't going to let that happen so we can expect a death battle between them and one or both destroyers.

I'm going with this but also I'm expecting it to be in planet Earth of U7.

Kyabe may be a girl based on the design of Gine(?). The same shape of the eyes and the eyebrows, with the exception of the eyelashes and breast:


It's so funny how Beerus and Whis are super serious with the anthem, who could it be that little penguin?

It's not U7 Earth. We know that for a fact, given the Earth has been blown several times with no sign of it, and Buma's radar would've detected it.

Damn, I didn't think about that
You are so right
So, it may be in U6 Planet Salad...

It's possible. Depends on how big it is. According to the sage, the Super DB's are over 340thousand km in diameter. Basically they're all 10x the size of the Earth. Champ was going around with Vados busting planets meting those specifications to try and find them.

Do you guys think Buu will be replaced now that he failed the test? And obviously, they are making the nipples guy fight last to show how strong he is, and for suspense.

[Chuquita]

The biggest thing that keeps me from being convinced that Kabe is female is that Dragon Ball Heroes has a male saiyan with that face as well:


Kabe sharing a face with Gine does lend to my highly-improbable-theory that he or she is Uni 6 Vegeta and Gokû's child though.

I think Kabe's sex is going to be ambiguous until someone says something in the dialogue about it (because I like to think Gokû is past the point of pat-pat and of outright asking a character's sex when he can't tell on sight; I do realize I say this when the later happened concerning Videl at the 26th tournament only a few years prior the current events.).

Either he will be replaced or it'll just be 4 vs. 5. I assume that Monaka will fight last as well. Makes sense unless Goku and Vegeta managed to surpass him when they went back into the RoSaT. If that is the case, Vegeta might end up going last. Still, I think Monaka being the trump card is morely likely.

I for one am all for the return of the pat pat test, especially since it'd be Vegeta's first time witnessing such a thing.

I think that would be hilarious but I can imagine the griping already, haha. It'd be worth it for Vegeta and Piccolo's reactions alone though.

I see Goten pulling off a stunt like that, since he looks like Kid Goku.

We probably have to wait until he/she fights. Someone from audience will coment about it (something like: He's/She's doing well or such).
Or maybe in the end of her fight she just coments "...Ah by the way, I'm a girl." I'm expecting Cabba to fight Vegeta, and that line alone would KO our prince.

Vegeta's reaction would be worth it; I'm sure he hasn't heard of the legendary pat-pat yet (doesn't seem like the kind of thing Bulma would talk about to him.)

Oh yeah, that's right...actually, of the people there, the only people that would know about it presumably, would be Bulma, Yamcha, and Kuririn...and Oolong and Puar if they're there, I forget...maybe Roshi? I forget if he ever saw it...basically just Pilaf/21st Tournament Arc people, basically. Seeing only a handful of people being like 'Dammit Goku, I thought we were past this' while the rest go 'THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE?!' would be amazing.

Bulma: Oh yeah, I guess I never mentioned it before, but Son-kun used to have to pat people on the crotch to figure out their gender.
Vegeta: WHAT?! ...Did he...I mean, you...
Bulma: No, he never pat-patted me...
Vegeta: ...Phew.
Bulma: ...He did flip my skirt and later take off my panties though...
Vegeta: KAKAROT!

I think Goku might have mentioned the pat pat thing when Roshi sent him off to find girls but I can't remember! Vegeta's reaction would be utterly priceless. I can almost picture Whis with a "Oh my" in the background as well.

[Chuquita]

I feel like it'd be very Toriyama for the sole reason of Kabe's sex's ambiguity to not be anything plot-related, but solely to be the set-up for a "return of the pat-pat gag".
