Anyone saw that new Nowaza Pic recording on a booth? It seems she's voicing Black. That's gonna be the first villain in DB With a super squeeky voice (not counting buu in english dub).LOL.

The Nowaza Haters are gonna hate this arc.
There's room for only one snake, and one big boss.

Lol mai hasn't been mysterious or cunning for a long time now. And I can't tell the difference between the Vegeta pictures? Both are of him acting like a baby.

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

Shots fired. :lol:

Seriously though, there's been no butchering of Vegeta like with Videl, even if a picture of him with a pacifier in his mouth is posted out of context.

If one is going to laugh to Mai one might as well be able to masturbate to her. Mind you, that'll be pretty hard with that bad design, but hey: the inside is also important.

She has literally no personality in super besides being a housewife.

In Dragon Ball her personality was "My dad's so dumb, but boy does Gohan-kun make me wet, so I'm gonna spend all my time around him now!"

Cardboard is more interesting than she is now.
I never find her that interesting to being with. I felt like Toriyama created her just to have Gohan to fall in love with.

Still I'll take that over her personality in super.

Nail, meet hammer.

At least in Super Videl gets to assert herself over Chi-Chi. That's a bigger win than anyone else gets in the franchise.

I always thought she was there for an excuse to get Gohan to the 25th Tenkaichi Budokai. But she and Gohan were a cute couple....til Super made it about as interesting as watching paint dry.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

She was tomboyish, active, eager to do things, now she's just a blackboard.

And what makes me mad is that Toriyama drew her the right way here. You literally can see her personality:

So it's just Toei playing games as usual.

Oh god, his new art style just isn't the same... But I don't think it's a toei only thing. She acted the same in BOG and Toriyama had a large role in making that movie. It makes sense though, I kind of feel like she got that side of her beat out during the tournament. She now knows her fighting skills really aren't special at all compared to the monsters she interacts with. That's why I see it the same way I see Gohan's treatment. It's one of the believable paths they could have taken, but imo it's the worst one.

I don't think Toriyama crafted the character interactions.

He just outlines the plot and then everything else is filled in by Toei.

Yamamuro's design. The clothing is fine but the actual character drawings look emotionless and devoid of passion.

Those were her motivations and opinions. Her personality was, in large part, feisty.

Is that why? I always thought she was supposed to be Gohan's Chi Chi since he was he was supposed to be the MC from that point on, I guess that's basically the same. Though I must admit going from a kickass tomboy vigilante superheroine to a softspoken housewife is a rather drastic jump in character in such a short amount of time.

It's also a bit strange because Toriyama is like "All my women are strong-willed because I don't know how to write other types of women". But I guess Videl's an exception. Or maybe it's all just Toei's fault. Maybe it's that.

...so, how's everyone been? We're all here on Leak Watch, right?
I could have gotten into anything...and yet I chose the story aimed at young Japanese boys about martial arts, and later about super-powerful aliens punching each other really hard.
