I don't understand how people are still so delusional about what Super is. First, of course 17 is going to have a bigger spot in the opening compared to the other minor characters like Piccolo the humans and his sister, he is a returning character so the potential to get money out of him is much bigger than those other characters.

I will even give you a more extreme version of this same case. Look at Gohan right now. They literally do everything possible to keep him out of the plot during the first 80 episodes of Super, and now, out of nowhere they start hyping him and don't group him with all the other minor characters in the opening. Do you think that this is because they pivoted on the path they had taken with the character? Of course not. They just saw what they were able to accomplish with Future Trunks and we already know that Gohan was more featured by Toei than by Toyotaro with multiple hints throughout the show. Gohan's comeback is basically them seeing the money right in front of them and finally deciding to cash it in.

I'm super exited about #17 come back. Always liked his character, hope he got stronger
I'm much more exited about him than either roshi or kuririn they have no place being there especially roshi. Goten and Trunks should take their place

17 I have no idea why people are hyped about, he wasn't entertaining in the slightest for me ever..
Kishido is your guy for this part
17 is awesome, and i hope he got stronger, and you are awfully wrong about U6:
Cabba, Hit and maybe even frost would wipe the floor with buu. Not too sure about magenta since I'm unsure about his ability to dodge the candy beam

EDIT: There is no chance in all 12 hells that Buu would be a match for hit under any circumstance whatsoever, Buuhan the strongest buu couldn't handle Vegeto, what makes you think that the weakest buu would stand a chance to Hit who is SBB tier, its like you forgot to watch the fight between fat and kid buu. I'm sorry if i come out as rude, but your assessment on this is off by a mile
Kishido wrote: Please no it was a shit concept and it made no sense.
Further more you and your power obsession
I do agree with your earlier points and feel the same about 17, really enjoy his character overall
Having said that, i would still be enjoying seeing he get a power boost, not from fusion but through his own training or some sort of unlock that makes him at least super perfect cell tier
Hakaishin Saitama wrote: Did you happen to read the part where I referenced Buu's personality? Not a big fan of 17's personality or relative lack of strength, but maybe Super will surprise me. As far as strength goes, Tien would probably wreck 17 at this point (and he did beat down semiperfect Cell if you recall). Roshi's fights are almost always entertaining, and his personality is fun, too. I don't really care how strong he is because his potential is more geared towards battle intelligence at this point in the series.
LOL and here i was arguing just a few days ago the validity of Tien being stronger than Kuririn, only to have people chime in and say Kurririn is the strongest earthling due to some interview phrasing which i dont totally buy
Personally
I think Tien>Kuririn
But i think its laughable to even toy with the idea of Tien being anywhere near final form namek Freeza tier, though i would love to be wrong about that one!

PS: I dont see point of having roshi there, its a fucking joke he does not even have a 200 power level, he is saibamen tier at best if we are stretching the truth and thats stretching it a lot. What could he possibly do against the strongest people of all universes? Even raditz would exterminate roshi with one punch, Its not like Roshi has a special technique he can use to punch above his weight either (Mafooba wont work on anyone above old DB king piccolo tier)
Kuririn, I'm honestly tired of him and much more exited about Tien. Wish Goten and Trunks would be there instead of kuririn and roshi

In terms of excitement for people that are not saiyans or piccolo here it is how it goes for me
17>Tien>Bu>18>>>>>>>kuririn>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>roshi

Everything indicates Tien is stronger than Kuririn, the only thing Kuririn has in his favor is that old interview where Akira agreed with someone who said he is the strongest earthling. The power level itself wasnt the main topic of the ontext which is why i think they just forgot about tien. Hopefully DSB clears this once and for all

I agree about 17 wrecking tien though

Including 17 is nostalgia fanservice; people are curious about how he's been doing and not everyone reads Kanzenshuu so a lot of people don't know about his park ranger job, wife, and children.

Buu I think is being included because he was bait-and-switched in the last tournament; being advertised as part of it and then sleeping through the whole thing. This time's kind of a redemption for that.
Would you mind posting a link for this? I'm really interested in reading all about it

kinda confused though, your original post implied people who read kazenshu regularly know about this. I thought there was a kazenshu translation/article talking about #17 post cell life

PS: for the record you're the one making bold claims about 17 returning because people wanted to and thats what got him to come back, you shouldnt speak for everyone now :shh:

Thats a youtuber's opinions on the whole matter, he wasnt even sure if it was Toei listening to its fans or a ploy for merchandising, that doesnt prove anything. You shouldnt take what they say into heart until you see an official source about it, you shouldnt make bold statements just because you thought the youtubers words were a fact which they're not, its his opinion.
Dude i literally own a blog about 17 and i have quite a few followers so clearly a lot of people care about him and i've read multipe people saying they want 17 back ever since DBS started it's your fault you're too ignornat to know anything about the fanbase i just proved you wrong and that your opinion doesn't stand anymore since you were trying to make 17 look like a character no one likes and Buu like a character that is so popular which complete bag of BS.

Owning a blog doesnt mean anything tho, calling me ignorant doesnt help your case either, yes a few people care about him, did I ever deny that? what I was saying is that I dont care about him, why are forcing your words into mine? you proved literally nothing, just your own bias opinions that you force that doesnt have any legit source, they came from a youtuber's opinion and your blog. You shouldnt make bold statements out of nothing but your own bias take on the show, its ironic that you're the actual one thats doing the exact thing that you accuse me of. I suggest you try and calm down and actually understand what I'm saying instead of going crazy like I'm someone who's talking for everyone when I was clearly talking about my views alone.

your comment basically said "I can understand why people like Buu (eventhough he's just a giant baby who only eats and sleep) but i don't see why would anyone care about 17 (eventhough he's one of the characters with most personality).

Yes, all my opinion, I understand why people like Boo because I'm one of those people, I wasnt speaking for anyone, all for myself, how in the world did you interpret a mere opinion of mine to a grander scale of speaking about facts and for everyone on the matter? haha

You mean a Kuririn that was scared because Frieza offed him, which allowed even Roshi to initially have a better performance? Not a good argument. Promotional material for this new saga already called Kuririn the strongest, the same statement made years ago. Nothing indicates the contrary.

Promotional material has no value as source material, they like to throw buzz words around. Kuririn has never performed better than tien in DBZ so everything indicates to him being stronger or maybe they dont consider tien human hehe. Reminds me of Battle of Gods, I personally think Tien will be superior in this arc, but we`ll see.

Was actually thinking if Buu may be packing a form change, like a nice kid buu. We should be for a surprise if they piss him off well. It's been a while since we heard him steam.

Its not posible, he already expelled all evil from him with skinny buu and most of the powers with it
For arguments sake, lets say he has some evil in him still... His form will be inferior to kid bu since most of his power was gone
