Gohan had a build up throughout the entire series. It's completely different from Kale. Kale was this super fragile girl who'd probably lose to master Roshi in a fight, to someone that can manhandle a SSB Goku.

The only situation off the top of my head that turned out to be absolute crap was in Super. Everything else was believable since he was the only half breed aside from Goten and Trunks. They've always hinted that half breeds were stronger.
Question: then why didn't future trunks have rage boosts like Gohan?

In fact , no one got that but gohan. it's almost like it was his thing.
In dbz,goku had only 1 rage boost and that rage boost gave him super saiyan,other than that?
Only Gohan was asspulling in almost every fight.

If there was a random saiyan who went broly out of nowhere in the tournament and walked past blue Kamehameha like it was child's play, that could either turn out to be really successful or really really bad..
To avoid such a big Gamble, I am of the opinion she was supposed to be introduced early only just not the full extent of her berserker state was shown, that was kept as a surprise for the tournament

Fwiw I thought they managed to make SSB look weak rather than Kale strong.

So Goku can barely scratch her but Jiren can one shot her and suddenly Goku thinks fighting Jiren ten seconds later is a smart idea.

Whoever wrote this episode should be held accountable in some way. I thought 99 was "okay" at best but it was 100x better than this mess.

She wasn't trying to hurt Caulifla. All Caulifa did was swat away a ki blast. You people overreacted to it
If I recall correctly, that Ki blast was meant for Cabba not her.

No we are NOT overreacting. You guys are just being complacent with inconsistent writing and storytelling.

Making it seem like the writers can't do anything wrong. I guarantee you these people aren't as passionate about their job as you are about the show. It's just a payday for some of them.

If you just take a look and see how ridiculous this all is, it's embarrassing. A lot of people think Goku and Vegeta are closing the gap on Beerus, but I can't see Beerus getting swung around like Goku somehow managed to do.

What was the point in SSB when it could simply be overpowered by the "original super saiyan"form? This form just so happens to be equal to/greater than SSB. Not at Perfext Cell level. Not at Kid Buu or Frieza ressurected level. She's stronger than Goku was when they almost crushed U7 in the Beerus arc. Going by her performance here, she could've fought toe to toe with hit in the Champa arc.

anybody who thinks this is just fine and criticizes people for not liking how they approached things, must really not be bothered with terrible writing and storytelling.
You're absolutely overreacting. Kale isn't what you believed her power to be, and what you think her power SHOULD be, so you're claiming it's bad writing.

Do you think Kale will get the slim green form next week? Showing that she learned to control it?

PS
Possibly, the fact she was drawn with pupils in one of the frames this episode could imply, that the animators are getting the forms mixed up, because the other form will also appear at some point.

Super is not canon, mate.

But funny how Vegeta was close to say she was the Legendary Super Saiyan, but instead they opted for him to say "True form of the Saiyans" how amusing.
Doctor. wrote:They literally just wasted the Yardrat for a poor gag.

Holy fuck, why did they even bother?

Kale remains the worst character this franchise has ever seen. When I thought they couldn't top Monaka.
I feel the same pain you do, in the end Kale's purpose in this series is just: "You know we can't give you guys Broly cause that would make things confusing, but instead had his feminine version and enjoy her acting exactly like him but with even less personality"

By the way, I don't think Monaka is that worse.

This form was sh*t since it's introduction: being Golden Freeza's punchbag.
Lord Frieza wrote:Also this episode pretty much confirms Kale would slaughter Broly.
No, it just confirms that Broly was always God level, but just like Goku he enjoys holding back for no reason and get screwed to it :)

Ok. :clap: and yes dbgt is the only canon thing in db

Someone recognize the blue fighter with red eyes and a weird black nose attacking Goku in the preview for episode 101? Which universe is he from?

Well he doesn't match any of the fighters that have been seen until now. So maybe it's one of the two hidden warriors from Universe 6.

Goku LITERALLY said he is gonna put out A LITTLE BIT more power NOT ALL HIS power... Literally there written in black and f*cking white...

But hey that doesn't fit your agenda to complain does it? So let's just ignore that...

He's probably one of the hidden warriors from universe 4. Quitela seems to be very much into stealth techniques (that's why he's a mouse or a rat, I suppose). He manipulated Sidra into sending ninja-like assassins to kill Frieza, and later he told Nink to get rid of Goku with a kamikaze technique. Now Goku looks like he was taken by surprise, so it makes sense if it's universe 4.

*sigh*

First of all my agenda here is not that so kindly eat your words. I defend this show through its mistakes more or equal to anyone else here so if I dont like something I have EVERY right to feel that way.

He did say that and while yes I'm sure he wasnt going 110% the fact that it literally did nothing was idiotic. Assume he was going 10% power....how hard did Jiren look like he was going? No harder than Goku that is for sure.

Its still the same end result. They made Goku look weak. Very weak.

Maybe he means like....a Broly from U6 with no connection to Goku but the same look/personality?

I think that may be too confusing for the audience. Given with how popular Broly is.
