Gohan is seen in the NEP. So she was probably just talking about this episode.

I had the same reaction, didn't like at first. I couldn't even stop laughing, but now I really enjoyed it. The back of his hair is stylish. Pretty cool design indeed. 8)

Three things

1). Can I admit that I LOVE the idea that Yamcha might have a big role in next week's episode? Because I do. Like 'huge grin on my face' happy :D

2). What up with Vegeta in a Universe 6 outfit? I'm interested in seeing the full teams.

3). I'm more excited to see the baseball episode than I was for most episodes in the Black arc.

Can't tell because text blocking his face, but I think Goten is also on universe 6's team.

Just think of this for a moment, Yamcha is playing baseball with a team of Gods, Super Saiyans, and powerful warriors from other universe.

Yamcha really is best human.

Getting Yamcha to do anything involved Goku, Vegeta, Beerus and Whis is a huge achievement on its own.

If you think Toriyama is writing his outline for his story because of a single actresses, you're in serious denial.
Toriyama writes an outline, not the script.
If they didn't have a large part in the outline it could easily be skipped. The issue people have is they don't want their favorite characters being mute for the sake of a voice actor. There's no reason these characters can't engage in casual conversations when Toei is writing the script.

Gohan & Goten haven't even made small appearances in the manga Future Trunks arc yet, so it's not because of Nozawa that they didn't play a role.
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.

Finally, Yamcha gets to win at something. To be honest I've always wanted to read a baseball AU of the series, with Yamcha taking the hero protagonist role. Don't fail me Super, you've at least been on point when it came to filler episodes!

Yamcha has got loads of potential if he's on the same team as Goku and Beerus. Here's hoping we see some cool stuff from him.

Boy, I sure hope they don't make Yamcha lose because of some mistake that Goku makes. I think it's very possible with the recent "Hurr durr Goku is an idiot" trend that is becoming more prevalent day by day.

I can totally see it happening. I don't know much about baseball but it seems pretty obvious that a weak link in any team can make the team lose.

With a 20 minutes episode, that must include...
Coming of the cast
explanations
team making
dialogues Champa Beerus
a proper conclusion
...
...you'll left with 10 minutes where you need to focus on Vegeta - Goku rivalship.
Yamcha will eliminate Botamo then goodbye and a rushed cutscene collection.
I learned english listening to songs. So I don't know anything about. The day you had to learn play piano by just listening .mp3, you'll understand.

The manga doesn't have the luxury. It also cut a lot of other parts.

Pretty sure Vegeta is on U6 since Hit isn't there.
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.

Then Yamcha can finally get his revenge! Vegeta striking out to Yamcha, a wound to his pride!

btw thought of something...If Hit has been contracted to kill Goku for the next arc, the upcoming episode may very well be the reason behind it.
