So, is Bulma still pregnant in this chapter? Can't find a scan that shows it, and I'm curious about Bra.

I wasn't talking about power levels, just seeing Vegeta fight Beerus and be there training instead of sitting around while Goku does everything like the anime.

I don't know if you or anyone else saw it but I think this is Goku's new form and it looks amazing. Although Goku is the most annoying thing in the anime, both in terms of his personality and being forced into every scene, he's one of if not the best parts of the manga and I can't wait to see what he does here.

Funny enough I'm the opposite. I find myself enjoying Goku much more in the anime than I ever could in the manga, he's fairly boring to me there. I do agree that this new form looks good though. The blue aura and grey eyes were nice.

Do you think this'll get rid of the other forms and be Goku (and possibly Vegeta's) default transformation in the future ?

I can't either. In fact, this thread is the only place where people mentioned pregnant Bulma

    Of course they won't, much to my personal discontent. If we were give a particularly meaty contribution from the humans then I suspect it would involve their strongest techniques like the Mafuba being used to contain a mid-rank opponent and then subsequently throwing them out of bounds; that's an optimistic proposition for how much they'll amount to in this event. The more plausible scenario would likely be them eliminating a few nondescript fodder before getting removed themselves.

    Is that a mistake or is Goku wearing his usual orange gi without the kanji?

    I can't tell as it seems Goku is barely in it from the pages I've seen? Everytime it shows a panel his arm covers it.

    It's not a mistake. It's been like that in the manga ever since the Black arc started.

    I doubt it tbh. I would love for them to not use their previous forms all that much often anymore, but I don't see it as likely.

    If Vegeta gets this form, would that mean we'd get shirtless Vegeta?

    I think the golden forms will be ditched until they fight weaker opponents, though SSJB has been shown to lower his power in the anime, it hasn't been shown possible in the manga. I'm looking for Goku to ditch them in manga and keep SSG, Blue, and whatever the new one is. The manga has shown closure with Blue after Vegeta and Goku completed it. I feel we know nothing about Blue in the anime. I hope we get a RoF flashback in the manga to complete the arc.

    We've never gotten that have we ? I guess it could happen if he's in the middle of a fight.

    As if Toriyama is gonna remember that.
    Obviously no one from TOEI or Toyotaro did either.

    What's strange is that we know of guns existing that can damage fighters of Roshi's calibre. Remember General White's "Powered Gun" he used to incapacitate Goku? It looked like a high powered pistol yet it wasn't all too visually impressive. Could it have been some armour piercing pistol rounds he used? I could more easily believe Goku being singed if the round was a Raufoss Mk 211 round in an anti-materiel rifle. Those types of weapons are used against lightly armoured vehicles, helicopters and it would turn multiple combatants wearing armour into jelly. It would be interesting to see if any reaction occurred by a DB character in getting hit by one of these rounds.

      Is Vegeta managing to hold Beerus in this fight? In the new images, it seems that yes:

      Beerus has to be restraining himself. It doesn't make sense for Vegetto to be dubiously compared with the God of Destruction last arc only for a person using the same form that allowed for Goku to trade blows with Merged Zamasu to be capable of holding their own against him. I would expect Beerus to be restricting himself down to just a fraction of a single percentage point against Vegeta -- think Freeza in his fight against Nail, only the Namekian happens to be mustering up a competent resistance.

      Sorry to say this, but I still don't care very much for the choreography. It's... I don't know, too streamlined? I wish they could mix it up and do some more varying types of fighting methodology.

      I think it's safe to say Beerus is holding back a hell of a lot of strength since he later no sells an attack from MSSJB Vegeta and sends him crashing to ground with one attack, and does it so hard, it knocks Vegeta out of his form. Fair play though to Toyotaro for throwing Vegeta a bone like that. Even though he had no chance of winning against Beerus.
