It's been confirmed U6's Saiyans are still a warrior race, don't you think an adult would be muscular? The only exception I can think of that isn't a buff adult Saiyan is Tarble, but that's because he doesn't fight.
That's just Toriyama's new art style. Bardock was pretty skinny in Minus, so is Gohan.

As per Toriyama's explanation in Jaco, pure Saiyans don't have human like growth patterns. They go straight from being small children, roughly the size of kid Goku, to their adult body once they reach puberty. Cabba is only slightly shorter than Vegeta in this chapter, so he should be an adult.

Cabble design could be more appealing if he was draw more muscular and less Gohan-like

I quite like his design now that he doesn't have that emotionless face like in the official artwork and the chapter he was introduced in.

I would prefer her to stay away. Not that I dislike her, but it wouldn't make much sense for her to be absent for all these years, to the point that almost no one even knew she existed, and suddenly she becomes a part of the gang.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Depends on how they play it out for me. If she were to pop up and suddenly be known to everyone, then that would be more than a little odd and disconcerting. But if they played it off exactly as it is, an amusing and awkward reveal of nobody that's known Bulma for all these years knowing about her, then that could be amusing enough. And it'd play as a good way to at least give a short version of Jaco an animated adaptation.

Though it could be funny too if Yamcha actually knew about her from their dating all these years ago, and Vegeta didn't. :lol:

I would like to say "Ohh that may be the case! I'm sure it will be great" but then I'm immediately reminded that Toriyama's been treating LGBT community as a catalogue of idiotic cliches to use from so far. So yeah, not sure whether I would be potentially excited or scared :shifty:

I have a gut feeling that universe 7 is going to lose this tournament... until Gohan shows up at the last minute and mentions the team needs a 5th fighter.

It's not even something I'm crossing my fingers for. I really see this happening. Seems... predictable enough.

Awfully optimistic considering Gohan has no way of getting to the tournament on time.

He'll find a way... maybe he was hiding inside Buu all along.

My guess would be Kibito using Kai Kai to get him there. Even then I doubt that's gonna happen at all. I also thought at least they'd try to get someone from the audience to join their team.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

I'm starting to think we won't even get to Monaka. Those little bios that came together with the character designs gave clues, Hit is dangerous, Frost has more forms. While Monaka's bios reads " He's said to be powerful enough to give even Beerus a hard time, but will we get to see what he's made of?!".
Implying he might not even fight.

Following this theory, I have Goku winning two fights, Piccolo wins one and Vegeta finishes the rest.

Curious to know if something evil will happen, if someone from U6 team loses. Like be killed for being weak by Hit or something.
We still don't know who their team leader is.

Also, Beerus wanting Monaka to fight last may backfire, unless he tested him before asking him to join.
Someone that was strong years ago, could turn out to be weak now. Like Gohan. :lol:

Not likely. Buu would get 100% in the test and even write is name right, if that was the case.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

Frieza planet trade organization gave the Saiyans their armor and technology. SInce Cabba is seen where almost primitive looking armor maybe that shows that frost never conquered them as in universe 7

I'm betting Hit is the team captain, the marketing seems to have a focus on him.

The marketing is focusing on Goku too and he isn't the captain.

Goku's the main character though, there is no way they'd put the marketing focus on Monaka.

It is kinda weird Hit is promoted alongside Goku, yet Toei calls it the Champa arc.
