Now that you mention the over 100 new characters thing I understand why some of these designs look so lazy, it must be hard af to create so many new characters for one arc.

Gotta say, I hate each and everyone of those character designs, and that female saiyan turning into LSSJ Broly is the biggest slap in the face for Broly fans.

Ugh... :sick:
"Dragon Ball once became a thing of the past to me, but after that, I got angry about the live action movie, re-wrote an entire movie script, and now I'm complaining about the quality of the new TV anime. It seems Dragon Ball has grown on me so much that I can't leave it alone." - Akira Toriyama on Dragon Ball Super

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if we get a crowd of unimportant fighters who are just blobs in the background.

Lord Beerus, I would think you of all people would be more opened minded since you were dead set against 'evil Goku' and now you adore Goku Black.

I am not happy about Broly either, mostly because of Broly fans then the actual character, but I am willing to see how this plays out before passing judgment. I was dead set against Vegetto and Toriyama made it worked for me by giving him a time limit, stopping the endless 'why don't they just fuse', making Vegetto struggled instead of it being a mud stomped, and giving the 'kill' to someone else.
I've already mentioned how I'll give this the benefit of the doubt and hope it will grow on me but I'm keeping my expectations low.

If you mean the one that came after the humanoid goddess, he looked more like a baboon to me.
I thought it was some sort of primate at first, but it is clearly a robot.

He looks too generic just like the dwarf, he could have been a cool creepy clown but he is just a shirtless clown.

I'm totally down to clown with a clown god of destruction. But yeah his design isn't the most appealing. I'm still interested though.

They're lucky to have a Canon version of him. I don't see how it's a slap in the face though.

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.

Wat, it really is a robot. The video I have was of poor quality.

How can a robot attain god status?? I don't care about the design even though it's just a copy of Robo, but I really need an explanation as to how a robot became a god. Unless he's also a Metal Man, which would be boring.

Completely agree that most of these designs are garbage. I don't know what i was expecting to begin with since this is Dragon Ball Super we're talking about.

Or they could do the complete opposite and treat her as something completely new! That would be a beautiful kick in the balls to all Broly fans.

As for the character herself, alternative great ways to troll (in addition to making her SSj Blue level):
- actually making her not a Saiyan, but a different race altogether (or a hybrid)
- describe her form as a regular Super Saiyan, but for females. That would mean Broly was like a girl

The potential to troll is huge.

I would like to know who built him. Building robots stronger than super saiyan is already a really high feat. But building a robot that can be a god? That's kind of awesome.

Well, it's not like Broly fans don't deserve to be slapped in the face. Repeatedly.
