My point is that there is a big difference between a character that didn't even get one episode and was just there for laughs and being important , and that range is big enough to place the namekians somewhere well away from the Dr. Rota end of the spectrum.
It would be Toriyama. He gave us U10 that ended up being a joke universe outside of two people despite the villain of the last arc coming from there.
Wait, when you say "joke" do you mean like "weak and easily/early defeated?" Because I mean literal joke when I refer to Dr. Rota.
Yes, he called Tien one of his favorites, along with Piccolo, Goku, Mr. Satan, and Jaco recently.

Again, we didn’t know Rota was a joke until it happened. Before then, people took him somewhat seriously since he was part of U6.

U10 was set up as a joke from their introduction with the protein shakes.

Doctor Rota already won the tournament before it started. We're just waiting for his master plan to play out. :P

115 is probably the Caulifla/Kale episode Toshio was talking about so no fusion featuring them..
The U6 Namekians will fuse together to fight someone really strong. We don't know how strong each are, but we know how exponentially stronger one can get from a Namekian fusion. I could see them taking on a fighter like Toppo, or someone just under Jiren's level of strength. They might not win, but this is my prediction.

I mean they've been saving these guys for too long now, it's just logical thinking to assume they have something cool planned for them.
You mean like Dr. Rota?
Dr Rota was introduced a month ago, and he amounted to nothing. The Namekians have yet to make their appearance, and given the spoilers we aren't going to likely see them anytime soon.

Keep drinking the Hatorade. When you're proven wrong I better not see that you have run away :lol:

It's fun to see reactions later.

I seriously can't remember Tien though. Piccolo, Goku, Mr. Satan, yes. Jaco makes sense if it's recent. But I'll have to look for that statement with Tien. I know he even mentioned Vegeta once, but then said he just liked the silent and calm types (or something along those lines) so he was kind of contradictiong himself there or forgot what Vegeta was like. :lol:

And again, it's just logical deduction to assume the namekians will be a tad more relevant than that. Even if all they get is one episode, that's still good enough in an arc that crawling with saiyans and the main antagonist up until now is even stronger than all of them.

IF she survives fighting Vegeta then it could be her, it would make sense if she goes for Goku again due to being in a weak state(she tried to sneak attack him when he was gathering energy for the genkidama).

Everyone will like Brianne if she gets a new form that makes her pretty.

He was introduced more than a month ago and we didn’t get his name until 106 unless you looked at outside sources. And the spoiler we have are incomplete.

Have fun because I really don’t care if the Namekians are important. I’m simply pointed out that the show haven’t done anything to hint that they’re important other than hiding them and given blink and you miss it shots. They feel like the U2 snipers who were also hidden, given an epsoide, and then rung out. I guess they took out Tien, but he wasn’t doing much.

Are we really using appearances to measure importance in Dragon Ball?

He said he didn’t really like Vegeta, but he grew on him.

Tab bit relevant to a joke character isn’t much and given how far we’re in this tourument, it feels odd to give them much important. The U6 Saiyans, Frost, and Hit has been part of the story the whole time.

I actually think it's odd that there'd still be joke characters left in the tournament given how long it's been. You'd think they'd be out and done with already.

I'm not expecting either of them to be game changers, just not Dr. Rota level of unimportance. I mean, I really, really hope not.

No wonder other characters starve to death when one of the authors favorites fights to get a bone :D

Not thread worthy of a new thread or anything... But simple question

No one being bothered that "fodder" like Krillin or Tien can dollow the fights of god level people?

Back in the past it was a big a deal if someone was so powerful and fast that other figthers couldn't follow the movements.

But now everyone seems to have no problem with it

I never said that they would be joke characters. Just not too important.

I'm well aware. And the moment I saw Dr. Rota in the spoilers I knew he wouldn't contribute much at all. And I normally judge right. When I first saw Nappa and Vegeta being introduced back in the day without really seeing them interact I knew Vegeta would be the stronger more intimidating one because in Dragonball size doesn't matter.

I'm not talking about Caulifla, Kale, or Ribbriane either. They are catering to a newer fanbase that enjoys those characters. A pig looking doctor doesn't fit that bill.

Not sure what you mean. I was talking about whether Caulifla and Kale know how to fuse. I'm not saying that they do, either; just that we can't say that they don't.
Oh my fault for some reason I thought you meant Namekians, idk why. Posting at work i guess is bad :lol:

Id 99% say they dont honestly. Considering it seems like a technique much like IT that must be learned from someone who already knows it.

Its not impossible though. Id just see it as highly unlikely. Its like saying they may know the Spirit Bomb....not impossible but not likely.

I think those days are gone unless is someone actually "fodder" like Satan. The older cast achieved a level mostly composed of masters at this point.
