I just find it hilarious how the article mentions why some characters like Mr Satan, Goten, VIDEL or Arale weren't choosen for the tournament, and for Arale they say "shame no one asked her". :lol:

Goku wanted to give other universes a chance to survive, bringing in Arale would be like telling them to either die now or after some minutes of getting beat up really bad

I don't think anyone really thought he would be of any importance after his horrible introduction. Though we were given hints(like him being in the OP and ED), I think his underwhelming initial performance in the recruitment arc made everyone think that he was of no consequence.

Could anyone translate the description of each U7 member? Even if there is nothing relevant? Would be very useful

Nah, Arale could had sense, she's incredibly strong, offscale, but naive af

Could easily wipe some fighters off the stage, only to be teleported out by the Yardrat without even noticing, then laughing in the seat and saying " looool I'm out haha "

It's odd there's actually an excuse for Videl not participating, like, nobody really expects her to right now.. or at least I didn't see anyone ask for her
These are very interesting results. Freeza and Vegeta greater than Goku ? Gohan 9th? It's a very small sample size but it's still pretty interesting .

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.

Why are people taking those votes seriously ? like not enough people voted, we all know that Gohan is much popular than that and that Goku is much more popular than Vegeta in Japan, those votes are irrelevant.

Or maybe they didn't ask them who their favorite was but simply who they want to encourage ? which explains Gohan and 17 being so low because they know they'll do great.
I saw a popularity poll on facebook and i think it's more accurate Image

That sample size would have a margin of error well encompassing the 3~% difference of Vegeta, Freeza and Goku.

A one hour old Facebook poll is even more worthless.

It got many votes in 1 hour so how is it "worthless" ?

This is obviously unreliable but still pretty interesting that it happened.

It is always embarrassing to have to announce and reiterate this stuff, but sometimes it is necessary.

The moderation team has once again issued multiple account strikes and bans.

Long story short, we need you to be cool people. Aim to make awesome contributions, ones that reflect you as an individual awesome person, and Kanzenshuu as having an awesome community.


Your definition of "awesome" may be different than ours, so please review our guidelines - http://www.kanzenshuu.com/forum-rules/

Lol At that many votes there is no margin that could accurately display the expected results.

Its like Pesidential polls that only ask a few thousand people. Sure they mean SOMETHING but the results cant be taken seriously.

He was fighting a massive monster right? It was probably supposed to be intimidating but I vaguely remember tentacle pudding or something as the design.
When Hit was introduced, he flawlessly beat Vegeta to an inch of his life. Dypso couldn't even defeat some random monster without the help of other Pride Troopers. That was an abysmal way of introducing his character and really didn't establish him as a future threat or even a potential threat, on initial glance, one would even say that Kahseral was going to be more of a threat in the tournament, and he jobbed to the universe 6 Saiyans without accomplishing anything at all.
Yeah it was horribly done, I just mean it was probably meant to be more impressive and they failed hard :lol:
They seem to fail at a lot of stuff over there lol

I honestly wish another company would be in charge of dragon ball

Just because it's not what you want makes it worthless?

No; there's a massively-valid critique over its statistical significance.

Re: poll

Surprised Freeza's so high and Gohan's so low. 133 is a small sample size though.

I... I know i'm gonna look like a Krillin fanboy if I point this out... but why isn't he in the poll? Did Krillin leave so little impact that he doesn't even deserve to be a member of U7...?
