That would be the most unoriginal idea... How could he even be on the team? Also, if he was still alive, I doubt he'd join the team, he has no reason to. I'm afraid your brain is in full fanfic mode.

The Barbaris are portrayed as a brute, undeveloped, barely thinking species. Also, I doubt they're among the strongest, so I doubt we'll get a Barbarian.

It seems likely to me that they'll have a Babari.
He is dead, but we don't know about the timelines that were possibly created by the retreat travels made by Trunks, Goku and Vegeta, there's a possibility of one or two timelines that Black is still alive.

As for Black joining the tournament:

Well, what if the U10 Hakaishin lack the morals to ignore the time travel taboo and recruit a guy that contributed to his death in the past just for the sake of winning (surviving)?

This tournament has nothing to do with other timelines. Even if there were more of them, Whis already made sure that Goku Black and rouge Zamasu's weren't a part of it. That was already established in the last episode of the FT Arc.

The new tournament isn't going to have rules against monsters without any intelligence, otherwise Boo wouldn't be able to enter. So their intelligence wouldn't be a factor against their exclusion. Plus, if Roshi is in this, their strength isn't a factor either, remember that Earthlings are among the weakest in the universe.

You can have a dumb member, you can have a weak member, but having a dumb & week member is strategically backwards. Also, humans tend to be week, but Roshi isn't like most humans. He can take on most of Freeza's soldiers.

Can we not do this this? "Fanfic" is not a valid dismissal of anything. At all. It's disrespectful at best.

It's already annoying enough when everyone nitpicks you to death on here, I don't need a notification correcting me on a throwaway comment. Should I say here that I don't think fan-fic ideas are inherently bad? I will. Some fanfic ideas are neat.

That wasn't mini-modding, that was me stating my opinion and asking you (everyone, really) to not throw around "fanfic" as a valid method of dismissal. It's all over the place and it's become very old.

That's pretty much mini-modding, You're basically saying "Don't do this cuz i dont like it". That's not even mini-modding, that's just displaying authority you don't even have.

Mini-modding is enforcing the rules that the moderators are supposed to enforce. All I did was ask for people to not use "fanfic" the way they do. ASK, not TELL.

This is a forum, people are can do what the want, as long as it's within the rules. People using the term "fan-fic" to mean something negative is not a rule.
This is a rule
Rule #8: The Admin is a Lady

Please note that the admin is a lady that be thinking everything is offensive and we dont let ppl defend themselves before jumping to give “warnings”. This is north korea mixed with tumblr, not a db forum, so stop frontin’.

Not to be mean, but you realize you're proving my point? You actually just used my argument that I'm not mini-modding.

I'll just quote this and end it here.

Not really. Oh sure, people are allowed to mini-mod, but forums in general usually discourage it. It's not a rule, but it's definitely not something you should do.

ekorlo2 Just watched you're review, there was a lot I agreed, and a lot that I didn't. The comments are fucking awful, Jesus Christ I'm so glad I stopped reading YT comments.

Actually, Anime Kitten has a good point, there's no rule saying that members couldn't ask others to debate in a more respectful manner. It is well recommended to say at least.

You explicitly stated that my request was not a rule, thus proving that I was not mini-modding.

Anyhow, to get into another topic, I noticed that the Hercule/Buu clip from Super that FUNimation released had Buu sound significantly less impolite, as opposed to his mean-spirited self in the majority of Super.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I agree with his point, it just annoyed me how it was phrased.

You should've told me that from the start. I regret phrasing it the way I did, as it was far more impolite than was called for. Apologies to you and Jinzoningen MULE if I offended you guys at all.

It's fine, I wasn't offended, I'm just sick of this cancerous internet nitpicking me to death. Some days I just want to permanently unplug, but meh. Enough of that, cause I have another, crazier observation!

Gohan's bang is gone in the promo picture. I'm sure I'm not the first to point this out, but I just noticed it and I don't know what to think.

In the opening he gets the bang after powering up, so they probably are going to make mystic a form and use that change so we can distinguish.
