This is completely pointless and stupid.
Because Piccolo getting one-shot by Magetta wouldn't be pointless & stupid.
Piccolo would not get one-shotted I am sure, just because it looks like Vegeta is dominated and probably only beats him by ring out you can't say anything about what would happen to someone else especially as Piccolo has shown his skill.

Vegeta is co-main character, is it that weird he get's more exposure than most characters? Anyway, him getting three fights here might be due to his reduced role, post-tournament. Were Goku should get more focus than here.

From those summaries and staff, next episodes seem promising. Can't wait for Monaka's debut!

Thanks for the translations, to all who did them.

I'm not surprised. Vegeta really is the co main character right now. He's had plenty of focus and advertising to show he would be. You might love it or hate it, but there's really only 2 main characters and a supporting cast.

He may have something special in plan. I still find it odd that people bitch about Vegeta not beating Freeza in ROF and now are bitching on how he is winning against two people in the Champa arc?

EVERYTHING we're seeing is from Toriyama so you should just accept that.
We will be the ones laughing at you when Vegeta can't even beat a Saiyan that can't transform into a Super Saiyan.

Can you even clarify if these are the same people? Otherwise I don't get the point. I'm pretty sure the people who bitched about that are probably ecstatic now considering it was mainly Vegeta fans who were peeved.

Piccolo was weaker than Frost, and SS Goku & Vegeta are much stronger than Frost (look at SS Goku vs Frost). Magetta will cause trouble to SS Vegeta. Do you really think that Piccolo would have managed anything? Piccolo didn't forfeit because he was scared of Vegeta, he forfeited because he knows his place. He would have barely defeated Frost, if he hadn't cheated.
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.

I'm willing to bet 200$ that Toei changed Toriyama's script to accommodate him going on a 2 win streak at least
You should get used to it, he's the 2nd main character which means he's going to get a lot of screen time.

This would be another GT if Toie had their way with the script.

Why can't you just accept that Toriyama likes using Vegeta in his story ? He had a major role in all of Z so I don't get why this is so surprising to some people.
He had major role in getting his ass kicked by all 3 main villains, dying to 2 of them and crying to 1.

I doubt episode 35 will have much fighting. It will almost certainly be all talking/arguing and have a very brief fight. So basically it will be 2 fairly long fighting episodes for Vegeta (36 Vs Magetta, 37 Vs Cabba). Pretty sure he will lose to Cabba as Monaka has to have an opponent that he can beat in order to demonstrate his strength - after all he is the strongest fighter Beerus ever fought (Whis and Champa aside) and he is unlikely to lose upon his introduction. Probably since Vegeta fights another Saiyan who cannot transform into SSJ he might refuse to turn SSJ for pride reasons (show he is better even in base) and that is how he ends up losing. Then Monaka Vs Cabba (Monaka wins) and Monaka Vs Hit (Hit wins). Champa starts celebrating only for someone to point out that Goku didn't actually lose to Frost as Frost cheated ...then have the final showdown between SSGSS Goku vs Hit. As the tournament is already set to advance far enough (3rd/4th member out of 4 Versus 5th member out of 5) it seems less likely it will get interrupted.

There is 0 evidence that Piccolo is weaker than Frost. Everyone can surely agree that Piccolo did not want to give up by the pause, tone of voice and facial expression. I think Piccolo would do well just by the pure skill alone he has shown.

I won't be complaining about it for 30+ pages cause I'm more then happy with what he's getting so I don't know what you're going to laugh at.

This type of conversation is over.

If you're not talking about official announcements, please find a more appropriate location (and tone) to have that conversation in.

Or Vegeta could lose to Hit and Monaka would sub in since he would he the last fighter left.

I think the summaries mention that Monaca will fight Kaybe so Vegeta loses to him.

I still find weird that a good Saiyan like Cabba could defeat an experienced and powerful warrior like Vegeta. I mean how the f*** he fighting in his base without any transformation is enough to keep with the God Prince? It feels unreal...

Different universe, the Saiyan's of U6 could all function like Ultimate Gohan, no transformations but VAST reserves of potential that gets brought up by combat & training. It's not confirmed and I'll be shocked if they don't have him transform but personally I'm hoping for this theory to be true, I'm fucking done with Super Saiyan forms these days.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.
