Please, you can't place this Caulifla girl on the same level Goku is. In the tournament she probably only will be capable of transforming in a common SSJ when Goku is worlds above that level. He will mop the floor with her head.

Vegeta vs Cabba II, where Cabba unlocks Blue.

Goku vs Caulifla, fighting genius vs fighting genius

Gohan vs Kale, this one could be one of the best fights in the ToP, Gohan seeing Kale would remind him of his old self and how much he has changed since he was a kid, when he was depending on rage power to win fights.
If anything it'll be awesome if our goku Vegeta and gohan completely destroy them. All to show that no punk kids can hang with true martial artist. All the work those 3 have done just to even be challenged by those kids would be insulting if they can hang.

If Cabba doesnt get Blue he will get bodied.

Caulifla has gotten quite a hype, if she faces Goku, he would find her as a worthy opponent, like how he thought of Gohan during their sparring.

Kale is the dark horse, with her merchandise being in the same group as Protagonists, Antagonist and Freeza, she will be very relevant in this arc. She facing vs any of the Saiyan Trio would be a money fight.

In her LSSJ, without a doubt would be Blue level.

Episode 92's summary mentions that Kale is Cauliflo's underling (yakuza-style).

So I don't know how this plays out in anime based on this concept, but shouldn't the underlining not be a monstrous ranging beast?

Cabba and Toppo sure are taking their times in assembling team members... There's only 4 hours and Cabba is still teaching them how to Super Saiyan!

they don't know how to transform.
That's obvious, the point I was trying to make is they are going to transform shortly, entire reason they were introduced was to make them transform, so if it was going to happen soon, why bother making the underling a rage beast who can't be controlled?if that's what she will become
Or is this how it's supposed to play out in anime like this, was my question

Well Cauli is in universe...she knows none of this. She just knows Kale is strong and does her duties. This is all new to her. I dont see an in universe issue.

Alright, here's the question removing all unneeded padding
Do other anime adaptations of this type of boss and underlining plot often have the underlining go rogue and uncontrollable?

So if I'm correct youre most asking out of universe, do other bosses generally have an underling that is uncontrollable?

Id say as a rule no, but I think since it fits in universe its fine. I'm sure its been done before even if I havent seen it. There are a lot of underlings who plot against their leader though which is sort of similar but worse IMO.

It's pretty common for Toriyama to have the more innocuous member of a duo be the one who's the most dangerous.

I'm really curious to see if Caulifla turns into the normal golden-haired Super Saiyan or if there's something different about her transformation too. This is all new territory. I'll be so mad if they cut away before the transformation and save it for the tournament though. :lol:

Well, as the transformations were unknown for Cabba in the previous tournament, this totally make. It will be fun to see.

I have to wonder whether Kale's initial Super Saiyan form is the Legendary Super Saiyan form it just mutates into that by accident in the tournament. Either way, getting two female Super Saiyan's is awesome. I never thought this day would come. It's so overdue.

Why would she not be able to get SS? A child halfbreed can get it...surely a train pure blood can get it. SS is cheap now.

Its like the internet. It took a long time to discover it but now anyone can have it with minimal effort. Bad analogy lol

I could see her not getting it immediately and unlocking it at the tournament but definitely dont see her not having it ever.

I just hope Caulifla hair changes in SS, Vegeta there hasn't been a difference ever, but Gohan in Super doesn't seem to be a difference now, same for Cabba. I want something wild!
