If Yamcha doesn't actually show up to the TOP I'd at least have him and Chaozu help out Goten & Trunks on the island just to give them something to do and make some neat "filler" material off of that, they're basically the definition of advertised extras at this point.
Well back in DBZ, Toei always tried to make Yamcha look good. Even in the training scenes they always made him look more competent than Krillin.

In fact nearly all the best Yamcha scenes back in DBZ came from the filler scenes with him.

Question about Cali and her transformation.

If it is the LSS form.....how can it be legendary when no sods in U6 has heard of it?

Simple: it will only be Legendary in the meta-sense. The viewers will equate it to that, the characters will call it something else. "Legendary Super Saiyan" has to start somewhere before it's a legend.

Thats fine but I mean in the unmeta sense, if they call it that well that makes no sense......unless Vegeta pulls the name out of thin air I guess and Cabba, being the Vegeta fan boy he is, adopts the name for the form too.

Edit: this talk reminds me of something...

Why a potara though?
It's also having the same time limit issues..
Unless you want it for a little bit extended time, which won't matter in the long run, they will defuse before the tournament times up in both cases
Isn't the tournament 48 minutes ? That's too long to be a fusion dance.

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.

Now Toei uses him as a punching bag.

Sure, you can probably say the same for the other humans, but at least they were strong enough to go toe to toe with the strongest beings in the universe.

Roshi taking out some of Freeza's weak henchmen is believeable, but seeing him fight with characters all above the level of Super Saiyan? When Roshi could not even stop King Piccolo back in Dragonball? It's just unbelieveable he could stand a chance.
TBF none of whats happening right now makes sense, for some reason teaming up now has its perks when Goku+Piccolo V Raditz was a massive stomp and the gap wasnt even that big compared to the present gaps, now we have Krillin pushing God Goku's wave, 18 kicking God Goku's wave, 17 able to hold back against SSJB, Gohan who simply trained to regain his Ultimate form for a few hours and now has a chance to surpass Goku or rather they're hyping it up.... none of this makes sense, this arc makes no sense, its a fanservice arc to bring back the old casts for one last ride (probably)
She never kicked the kamehameha wave, she kicked Gokus hands(with obviously no dmg).

I also dont like Roshi strength being retconned, for me one of the worst things the show has done. But for some reason Toriyama likes him, so anything blame Toriyama for this bad retcon.

Its also one of the reason why he should just give full control to Toyble and the Dragon Ball Room.
You mean the guy who just traces over Toriyama's art, wrote AF and made SSj God Vegeta a thing and the people who are probably the reason we have female broly, aim to make more merch which means more of this crap and are all about the fanservice, which I love but I'm sick of the fandom fighting about it?


Thats the whole reason resurrection f sucks so bad, Toriyama made that for fans who wanted more action. Toriyama is at his worst when he gives in to fan demands.


We need to as a fanbase accept what Dragon ball is now.

There are other characters that would do better than him.
If we already got 2 on this very forum, we can add SansrivaaL as well, he has said he wants Roshi to fight as well, that makes 3..
Who knows there might be many more out there
I LOVE Roshi and want more of him. More Roshi, less Saiyans.

The logical team would be: Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Boo, Piccolo, Goten, Trunks, 17, 18 and Krillin

but for more diversity I would go with: Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Boo, Piccolo, 17, 18, Krillin, Tenshinhan and Yamcha
Power levels are not just big numbers:

So there are two female Saiyans. Wild. Fair play to everyone who said so, I was so convinced Caulifla was the only one.

Yeah lmao at toyble having full control over db when toei,bandai and shuiesha are the ones who actually full control over it.

and toyble copies and rehashes toriyama's stuff from dbz 24/7.

shit I saw a ton of people on this very forum complain how much toyble copies stuff from dbz and traces over toriyama's art.

and he was hired by them and can be fired by them at any time, happened with pletny of other writes who was hired by people who actually own the franchise.

It says that Keru doesn't get along with Cabba very well,and that she became very angry when she found out he could transform into a super saiyan and all that stress and rage helped her to unlock her full potential,when she's angry her strength is unimaginable.

So she's the LSSj and not Cauli? Figured, Cauli looked too different from the original LSSj girl in the trailer.

Actually (looking at the Japanese text), Cabba tells Keru to release her anger in order to become a SSJ, but due to her stress, she becomes a berserker. Anyway, this description coupled with that name suggests even more strongly that there was some production change regarding Caulifla. It'd be really odd if there were two female SSJs and both happen to be girls who don't get along well with Cabba.

Not much information about Kale but from what i read, she's already better than Broly in terms of what is triggering her transformation.
I really miss ma boy, Black :( :cry:
