Can anyone clarify this for me please? In one of the spoilers it said that "Goku's body was throbbing" ...What exactly does that mean?

As far as I understand it, an alternative translation would be "aching".

So it's basically the same thing that happened during his Super Saiyan God ritual where his body started to hurt during the BOG arc?

If Goku really goes SSG to deal with an opponent that can beat Hit, then Hit's being nerfed to his manga level

I thought it was the usual "Goku is trembling at the sight of a strong opponent"
Like he did when Vegeta easily overpowered him

Who knows. These summaries have a habit of being iffy with things so it's definitely a wait for the episode scenario for all it could be just Goku being excited to fight.

Didn't Toyotaro send his outline/unreleased manga to Toei for this arc? If he did it would make sense that Goku goes SSJG.

[Chuquita]

If the phrase is doki doki, that could be interrupted both ways; throbbing by way of excitement, not pain. Like heart pounding action.

When was this ever said?

[BlueBasilisk]

Will we get a WSJ preview this week since last week had 103+104?

[RedHeat]

Will we get a WSJ preview this week since last week had 103+104?

Probably not, since they're taking break. (and since the last one was a double issue)

Ah, I didn't know they were taking a break. Thanks!

It means hes leaving Chi-Chi for Caulifla

Most likely in pain, tired, aching. Possibly excited but that would really depend on context.

Considering the special take Goku has about love, sex and marriage, maybe he will. Then Chichi can explore her relationship with Piccolo, they've been getting closer lately, shopping together and all that stuff. Or with Mr Satan, at least the guy knows what's a kiss.

God no, no more Cauliflowa, ChiChi is so much more better better than her, at least she is just a screaming pain in the ass

Most likely in pain, tired, aching. Possibly excited but that would really depend on context.

Say, if SSG is a typo, what are the chances this typo is intentional coupled with the vague comment about his body..?

In his interview with ANN but it should be noted he said he would be sending some stuff back to the anime staff again like when the U6 arc was ahead, given the fact he designed & co-designed some original characters this is likely what he meant.

I mean I cant really say what the chances are but some previews have seemed like they arent exactly what we got so I think its definitely possible myself.

If Dyspo is going to give Hit trouble, then they sure gave him a super underwhelming introduction unbefitting of character that is supposedly a powerhouse. Judging from what Herms translated, his supposedly stupidly strong.

What happened is very simple. Toriyama forced the anime team to make of Hitto a bum like in the manga, therefore, now both converge and Hitto is done as a character. I'm gonna watch until the end of the tournament and drop the series, because, Toriyama does always the same shit and i had it. Don't get your hopes high with Jiren because, in the next arc he will be another bum. At least, my prediction that Golden Frieza was stronger than Vegeta is correct. Vegeta fanboys must be in extreme pain.

I like how quickly you drop characters that don't perform. Seriously. It's refreshing over the typical endless spinning that other fans do for their favorites.

Thanks.

I really don't get why you have been watching Super since Dragonball was always like that, as you are saying yourself... There isn't a single exceptiok to that rule. Also liking a characyer just because is strong is pretty stupid, but that's just my opinion.
The rival of an arc is weak on the next one. Always. Did you really expected Jiren to be at a similar level o Hit or something? Last time he had a draw with normal SSB Goku, he's not even at a level similar to his Kaioken. And if Hit is not going to return as you are saying (but I doubt it) I won't really have a problem with it since he's pretty much a pale copy of Jotaro but nowhere as interesting as a supporting character.

Anyway, I don't see why you think Toriyama forced Toei to do anything. He just writed barebones, that has been confirmed a lot time ago. If you want to blame someone, blame Toei because of making Dyspo's first appareance so underwhelming. Toriyama had nothing to do with it.

DB wasn't always like that. Vegeta became a main character and Frieza came back stronger than Goku and Vegeta in the movie and currently he is stronger than Vegeta. How do you know Toriyama had nothing to do with it?

I like how Hit's fan must be Vegeta's hater at the same time. Like WTF, what is the correlation? And I am glad your assassin's gonna need Goku to help him out. The only character who was stupidly strong in the anime was Hit. Did you expect him to be the strongest guy around for the whole time? Hit ended like every other main antagonist in every arc. He was sidelined. Maybe not yet, but this process already started. Jobbing to Vegeta will be a great final of Hit The Legendary Assassin .

I'm not a Vegeta hater, i just tell you the truth like when you were arguing that Vegeta was stronger than Frieza and this scan confirmed i was right.
As i always said, i expected Hitto to be in the top 4. Vegeta is going to crush Hitto like a rag doll, probably with a single punch.

If Goku really goes SSG to deal with an opponent that can beat Hit, then Hit's being nerfed to his manga level

Exactly, Hitto is officially a bum, probably he will be eliminated by Dyspo.

In retrospect this is a problem all the tournaments have had bar the 21st Budokai.

While Goku and Roshi were the big players, many of the other warriors could hold their ground for a bit in a fight with them, either by skill or trickery. The 22nd really is full of fodder, except Roshi (maybe), as Tien and Goku could beat everyone else in a heartbeat if they took their fights 100% seriously from the start. This is the same for the 23rd, as Piccolo and Goku clearly outclass everyone in power, The Cell Games, which lets face it is not even a real tournament, and The Otherworld Tournament.

While both Baba's and the U6 tournaments still have this issue in their own way to.

Personally I've begun to hold the ToP as Superior to all other tournaments bar the 21st Budokai. This is because...

A) While it has its fodder, at least we are not forced to watch x amount of episodes of the heavy hitters wasting our time on one foe they could curb-stomp if they wanted to. Rather we have them fighting one or several weaker characters for one episode which dose not necessarily fix the problem but gives you more variate and dose not feel as much of a waste of time in retrospect. Please note Jiren and his "I dont give a F@~kness" being the expectation to this concept.

B) More then just two big players. While Goku and Jiren are going to be the gran finally of the tournament, due to the set up we have a number of powerful warriors working their way to the top. At bare bones we've gone from 2 big players to 3, maybe 4 in the form of U7, U6, U11 and maybe U2.

C) Honestly I find the whole thing way more fun and unpredictable then just two people fighting in a small ring.

Not really true since Yamcha went down to Jackie Chun without even being able to touch him and Chun used none of his better moves. Krillin gave Chun some problems, but Roshi could have ended him quickly too if he felt the need, the same way Piccolo toyed with Krillin in the 23rd Tournament. Only Goku forced Chun to go all out. Goku had problems because he was a child and did silly things like his 'Tornado' technique.

The 21st Tournament, half of the people were fodder, but they were all played for laughs except for Nam.

Good point, but that at least means that the 21st is not quite as bad a later tournaments would get.

Also you've convinced me to bump up my opinion of the the ToP as the #1 DB Tournament.

Vegeta should have gone Super Saiyan God and beaten up Brianne......why go Golden...
