Frieza's the only person in the tournament who's being portrayed as evil so far. He's such bad news that even the dumpster fire known as U9 didn't want him. :lol:

That's why I have a feeling Frieza is going to be a key player in the outcome of the tournament one way or another. He might end up saving the multiverse in a way only Frieza could.

Edit: just saw the SSG thing. That's very interesting. I like the form and it has some interesting properties that other forms don't (like healing in the anime) but I'm curious why they waited so long to bring it back and why now? And if Vegeta will get it too since he actually refused aftef BoG.

I don't think it'll pose much of a problem with the whole 'absorbed the power into Super Saiyan' thing. It'll probably just mean it's much stronger than it was in BoG.

In regards to Goku, I also don't wanna Super Saiyan God to return because that means we'll get bombarded with so many forms appearing. Still, I want to see Vegeta as Super Saiyan God in the anime, that would still be somewhat "new". So I'm conflicted with its return, if it's Vegeta, okay, if it's Goku... Better not.

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'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. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
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.


Exactly, Hitto is officially a bum, probably he will be eliminated by Dyspo.
DB was ALWAYS like thag. Your examples have nothing to do with what I said. Both Vegeta and Frieza were threated like useless fodder in the next arc they were introduced (Vegeta in his second arc, Namek, and Frieza in his second one, Androids). Vegeta came back on a third arc because the plot needed him to, and that is not Hit's case at all, just like previous enemies didn't returned. Frieza is in fact an exception since as Toriyama said himself, RoF was full of fanservice. He returning this second time can also be another sugestiom from Toei/Shueisha/whoever. Anyway, my point still stands. This is Hit's second arc, if you expected him to still be usefull, then I don't know why you keep watching DB.

How do YOU know Toriyama had something to do with it? We have been told he writes barebones, with only certain scenes being writtwn in detail. Super is a Toei and Toyotaro product, not a Toriyama one. Thwy are who decide everything that happens, as long as it doesn't contradict Toriyama's outlines. Are you seriously expecting people to believe that Toriyama wrote specifically "Hit is too OP in the anime, nerf him to manga level". It's a nonsense. If anything, maybe, I repeat, maybe, he wrote that Hit would have problems with Dyspo and Goku would help him. In that case, again, Toei is the only one to blame since they didn't hype Dyspo enough. Toriyama has nothing to do with it. If you are just annoyed because he doesn't (seem to) have plans for Hit on the future, again, this is how DB works. Every second arc for an old rival makes him look like fodder. There isn't a single exception to that rule, specially in the Super anime version.
No, DB wasn't ALWAYS LIKE THAT. Tenshinhan wasn't fodder in the 23 budokai neither Piccolo when he fought Goku in the same tournament or when Goku and Piccolo fought against Raditz. Hitto was ssj blue level in the anime and he did quite well in the rematch against Goku. Toriyama is writing the outlines to both anime and manga, therefore, he must be held accountable when Hitto who was nerfed in the manga is now being nerfed in the anime as well, because, Toyataro is sending them outlines about what he is doing in the manga meaning that they want anime and manga to converge together.
Toei cannot be blamed since they hyped Hitto to ssj blue level while Toriyama and Toyataro nerfed Hitto to ssj God level, why do you think ssjG is returning to the anime?
What? Tenshinhan was fodder in the 23rd Budokai. Nobody was worth shit to Goku and Piccolo. Just like how in the Saiyan Saga, Piccolo ended up being shit to Goku and Vegeta there, or how Vegeta was shit to Goku and Freeza in the next saga, or how even Goku, Vegeta, and Piccolo are all shit to Gohan and Cell, and how Vegeta, Cell, and Piccolo are shit to Boo, everyone is shit to Beerus, then comes in Hitto who Vegeta is shit to, and now we're in this saga, where Hitto is no longer the major adversary. The likelihood of Hitto being fodder to the top dogs by the end of this saga is high as fuck. DB WAS and still IS always like that. I don't know why it's so hard to understand. A major rival introduced in one saga looks incredibly amazing, but they're fodder to the the top dogs in the next saga. Hell, they're not even just fodder to the top dogs, they might not even be able to beat characters weaker than the main adversary (in the 23rd, Ten was weaker than Kami, Piccolo was weaker than Raditz, and then later Nappa, Vegeta was weaker than Zarbon and then even Recoome). Now where here in this current saga and there are several characters in Hitto's weight class and possibly higher. This formula (whether you like it or not is up to you) has been ongoing for a damn long time in DB.

As for the whole SSG thing, I'm personally not dwelling into that, as I find that a bizarre choice altogether.

It made sense in the Manga continuity since well the BoG events were different but here ehhhhh they're gonna need to give us a satisfying explanation. Especially since Goku has already been freely using SSGSS in the ToP already when SSG would have more than been enough... Plus not to mention all the other times in the anime. The only thing I can think of is the slimmer build gives Goku a speed advantage and that is what is required to beat Dypso not power.

So basically Goku has acess too:
SS1
All SS1 variants
SS2
SS3
SSG
SSGSS
SSGSSKK
SSGSSKKx10
New form.

Jesus.

Still though cannot deny I am not excited about its return. Less use of the ugly original SS forms the better!

Pretty much! The talk about the new form being "gods perfected technique", I think Goku literally will become a God... Kinda a crazy to think the little boy we met back then would get the point he is now!

Well there goes the two base theory.
They fucked up the concept and naming from the very beginning cuz they haven't looked too far in the future.

And now let us see what bullshit they will try to bring up to explain it.

Next form will be called Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan True God

To be completely honest I only hated SSGs return in the manga was because it didn't happen in the anime the main money source... Anyways this doesn't break any power levels since it was never stated that Goku, Vegena and Frieza had a god base. All first form Frieza did was catch Gohan OFF-GUARD which isn't a feat since this anime proved that anybody can do that.

But wait, didn't toshiro deny the freeza rumor that did happen?

I'm still going to wait for episode before I say anything or jump to conclusions. Its literally only next week, heck this week might give us the preview.


I will say this though if its true, the anime screwed themselves over with this one and people are going to be confused because unlike the manga, its never been said blue was stronger.

And if Goku says god is stronger then the manga and anime can no longer be used as 2 paths to the same destination.

Eww. They just look so ugly in modern DB. It just looks so sickly... Not a fan of the colouring at all. SSG, SSGSS and Rosé just suit modern DB so much better. SSG popped so well in BoG was disappointed when they reverted back to SS in the film.

Well, I hated it and will still hate it because the form was never meant to be an ordinary form you can just jump into. We had a ritual and in the anime Goku absorbed the power.

In the manga, Goku didn't absorb the power of SSG so him being able to turn into it at will made sense. In the anime, Goku absorbed it. I want to see how they'll explain this, if they even bother at all.

So Toshio just spoils what will happen in a future episode like that? Why? I have absolutely nothing against the guy and I like how he talks with the fans, but I think he should stop spoiling what will happen in later episodes.

Seriously? I apologize. I kind of scrub out that arc.
