Helles' bishie-vision has fun potential.
I liked Videls twin tail look, she is probably one of the few girls that could rock the twin tail look properly.

I hope none of saiyan girls get a haircut, they dont need it.

I was checking Herms twitter and in that color spread that has Team U7, they were hyping Gohan potential being bigger than Gokus.

Does anyone think Gohan will end up the strongest Z fighter after ToP? IIRC Toriyama said Gohan was the strongest nonfused character by EoZ.
He never said that.

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.

This is why I loved Goku and Trunks' SSJ forms, their hair style goes up and crazy unlike Vegeta's and Gohan's, tho Gohan's teen SSJ2 had a change but they later made it his hairstyle even in base form....
These days Toei/Toriyama can't even give different characters a unique haircut, let alone 2 for different forms :problem:

I wish Naho Ooshi were part of the DBS team, she would do good as an assistant.
But they can't change major details from the outline. So if something is in both the anime and manga, it's from Toriyama. If something is only in one version, then it came from Toei or Toyo.

Now that Freeza returning for a day is a thing, I suppose it will probably be easier to maintain his Golden form, but it could backfire and shorten his 24 hours' limit.

Ok looks like the whole Gohan being the strongest nonfused character was already discussed in this site and at the end it was just a false rumor.

@OLVk3

Yeah, Trunks might still get his kill on Black once Merged Zamasu is no more and they could have Shin lend his energy to Trunks.

The best thing the manga did in the last chapter is the clothes damage, that was a bit lacking the anime aside from Vegeta getting his armor destroyed.

You guys think they shouldn't have shown Buu at all, if they weren't going to use him?

And if you want to think about it this way, they did use him. Just not the way we were expecting them to.

He'll always have the Basil fight. Which, at least IMO, was the best of the three prelim battles.

I wouldn't call Kale unique, she just looks like a girl who has her hair tied back. Caulifla's base hair is unique but I still want something different for her SS form(s).

I thought he was talking about having different hair for base and SS and was talking about unique from an in universe perspective. Maybe he wasn't.

Are we really complaining about characters hair, now? Aren't we being a little petty this time?

We daily discuss fiction in such great detail that the knowledge occupies more than half of our brains, it's no wonder all kinds of stuff come up when people start running out of stuff to talk about

I dunno about that. After the first three damn times Buu's fallen asleep as soon as something important's happening it becomes predictable.

I have a scenario in mind, what if golden freeza survives till the last and counting him we win the tournament, but as soon as we are about to be declared winners his time runs out and he disappears..
Would this be a good enough direction for it to go?

Well technically this is the third time, and people weren't expecting boo to get replaced and have Freeza take his place so it was unpredictable. I don't really like it though. Have Goku injure roshi with the Kamehameha and have Freeza take Roshi's place.

Hair in Dragon Ball has always been a big part of character designs for Saiyans, don't really see how discussing hair at all is "petty". People scream and shout about something invisible like power levels all the damn time but something physical and concrete to talk about all of a sudden is "petty"?
