Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

Herms' translation specifically says that it's more than Freeza, Cell and Buu, interesting.

Probably just the usual like the Ginyu Force, King Cold, etc.

They're both jokes to him. His treatment to Piccolo is worse imo because Piccolo can do nothing about it and he actually likes fighting though.

Also, I can't wait to see Vegeta nervous :lol:

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.

They do what Toriyama says and I predict all 10 fighters to get a decent role.
Goku only views Gohan as a joke in the Super manga. Goku has never expressed disappointment in Gohan in the anime.

Piccolo, however, is the low bar joke in that Goku at his weakest in Episode 42 views losing to Piccolo as a sign of how sick he is. Before then, he was humoring bringing baby Uub over Piccolo and was ready to dump Piccolo when Gohan said he wanted to be part of the tournament. He also left Piccolo hanging with that entire scene with the Evil Containment Wave. And says a lot that he chose Gohan and Krillin as his training buddy over Piccolo.

Probably villains from DB too like the Red Ribbon Army, Piccolo Daimao and recent villains like Black and Zamasu.

Does that mean Goten and Trunks will finally get older?

At least we know Bulla/Bra is still a thing.

I wonder if this hints at us moving to EOZ after this arc.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

Probably. That's why most of the current cast is fighting, probably a farewell to the current characters.

Adult Trunks/Goten, Pan, Bra and Uub here we come.

I really hope Goku gives Gohan and Kuiririn some sort of ass whooping that gets them motivated, perhaps they see how strong he got while training with Whis and head over there?

Also, no Piccolo episode? C'mon, even Yamcha got one :problem:

I hope in this dagoba/weed cave has Krillin killing Fake Frieza. VENGENCE!
When Super apparently shoves Goku down our throats:

I actually wouldn't mind this if they actually became the main characters with Goku and Vegeta taking a backseat but that's not happening.

Piccolo can't carry his own episode. What would it even be about?

Wouldn't Goku say that to anyone not Vegeta? If Goku never ditched Piccolo then Trunks would have not been able to use the Mafuba. The most important thing is that Toriyama views Gohan as the joke and not Piccolo.

So do you actually believe that it is better for Goku to train with either Gohan or Krillin instead of Piccolo. Didn't Goku train for 3 years with Piccolo before.

Overall it is just more Toei nonsense.

The old cast will never be replaced unless we get a new series set in the future, even then Roshi, Piccolo and Buu will still probably be around.

Yamcha never carried the episode he just a big part at the end. It was carried by everyone. Any character can be the main focus of an episode or have a big part. The driving episode with Goku and Piccolo is an example how Piccolo can have a big part in a filler episode.
