I kinda look forward to Freeza interacting with the girls, have Freeza mention that Caulifla reminds him of Gine.

And yes, I know it looks bald, but I'm guessing some revealing traits got erased from the outline so as to not give too much away, but the anatomy still seems to lean towards feminine.
The figure is just a placeholder for what's to come, concluding anything form it is not really recommend..
For all we know only the baldness stays in the actual character as the trait and everything changes..

As for Cauliflowa calling for backup isn't all that surprising, frankly she hasn't shown any pride yet, show her a new transformation and she will be up in your face asking for it, if she did that to Vegeta she wouldn't be in the ring right now..
This character only shares race with the saiyans we know and respect..
I know that it could end up looking completely different, but all I'm saying is that the shape isn't traitless, like a placeholder should be, so it still could resemble the actual design somewhat. I'm still leaning towards Ribrianne's new transformation or the bugs, but I'm also all for surprises so who knows :D

I know the way she is written isn't everyone's ones (or most people's) cup of tea. Frankly I'm also not happy with how they're portrayed: either obnoxiously spunky or obnoxiously demure , but I can't will them away or change their presence so I'll try to keep an open mind. All things point towards that they're here to stay.
We shouldn't even decide on the gender of the figure actually..
When the figure can vary and we don't know in what amounts, it's best not to base anything on pseudo ground..

Ribrianne being the super warrior will be pretty amazing!
If she is a parody, she should be that until the end and thus by nature, will pull out some kinda overwhelming powerup from friendship, I would rrather have that happen and she still gets beaten than that not happening and her going down some other way..

Yeah, the girls are here to stay, but hopefully we see a bit less of them after this arc..

Using a hax technique that helps you regain strength(UI), Piccolo said that Goku was improving while exchanging blows with Jiren, its the UI technique.

If it were up to me she wouldn't exist let alone get forms. I hope she doesn't get anything but based on how they treat her I think we should at the very least expect Ssj3.

God help us if that's the case, the last thing we need is her getting more screen time.

Whatever wrote: Did you not say that Hit was smart and pragmatic when he attacked Jirren while he was finishing up Goku?
Yet the namekians are not for trying to take out Goku?
Also the difference between the U6 saiyans and the namekians is that the namekians own Goku nothing unlike the saiyan girls who Goku let them get away when they were vulnerable.
Nope, I never said that. In fact, I don't think I made any comment about Hit being pragmatic outside of saying that Goku got saved by Hit trying to cheap shot Jiren.

He saved their teammates, so yes as a team they do 'owed' him. Especially where the hell were they when Hit was being double team?

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

I Agree I was neutral on the Girls at the start of their intro, but I gave them sometime and they truly grew on me, especially Kale.

So while I don't agree or Get Why they are fighting with Goku when their are bigger Threats around (cough)*Pride Troopers*(cough), I still am interested to see where they go with the girls from these episodes. :idea:
I think everyone should gang up on the pride troopers and at least try to ring out Toppo and Dyspo, but I know it won't happen for plot reasons.

Maybe Cali wants to know about UI too and that's why she's headed after Gokû? I don't know. I agree that targeting Gokû isn't in her best interest right now. Maybe she's trying to even the score with how he helped her and Kale earlier so they'll be even?

Personally, I can't wait for 113 since I liked Cali's interaction with Goku in 100 and I hope to see how Kale grown from a Broly clone, which was my main problem with her. And am meh about 112 because I honestly never cared for Cabba and Vegeta's relationship.

I know, it's mostly just a game. Looking for clues, and seeing if you get something right. It's not like I'm invested in any specific theory as to who it might be, and it'll probably end up being something unexpected anyway.

The hook of episode 112 is Freeza.

Will he eliminate Cabba or he will help "motivate him" as a way to gain Vegetas trust?

That would be a hook....if I actually cared if Cabba was eliminated. I don't hate Cabba by any means, but he's vanilla, I can take or leave him.

I noticed that on Toei's website Cucatail (Universe 5 Angel) is described being "a female type who watches over her excellent kaioshin and God of Destruction and tries to learn from their knowledge.

This is not just a google translation btw. https://twitter.com/Terez27/status/921006113197346816

Freeza/Vegeta interactions should be great.

I enjoyed all of their interactions(best one was when Vegeta refused to hold Freezas hand when they were doing the "friendship" circle)

Yea that be to much of the Intelligent approach, we need to keep the plot Dramatic! :lol:

Honestly however, if Toei is serious, maybe they will give reasoning why they don't do this in episodes 112-114 coming up. If they do that it might help justify not attacking, but I am sure no matter what the writers say if they choose to say anything that it will not have holes in its reasoning. ;)

Since the episodes are focused on Universe 6 I doubt it will be Ribrianne coming out of nowhere and somehow finding a transformation.

I feel like we are back at the perfect ki control meaning Goku can hold back while exerting again phase.
We know Goku's punches were more effective with each punch, but that does not automatically translate into UI helps you regain stamina automatically. Especially when it seemed to drain the little he had left.

I bet Caulifla will get Super Saiyan 3.
Let's hope it's just Ssj3 and not one of the higher levels.

The only good thing to come from her is that she makes Goten and Trunks getting Ssj1 look natural. Even if you still don't like it, at least the characters in-universe questioned it, here everyone is acting like it's normal to be able to get one form after another like it's nothing.
Pointing out your problems doesn't make it go away besides that was a joke at Toriyama making fun of himself since the Buu saga is him doing that.

Plus when Gotenks goes super saiyan 3 just seeing it once, no one said a thing.

Anime or manga, since Goku went Super Saiyan 3 in front of Goten and Trunks before leaving to the Otherworld in the anime. Also, Piccolo did go WTF, when Gotenks went Super Saiyan 3.

Its not UI, but his new blue aura that was apart of UI.

Piccolo stated Goku was evolving while fighting Jiren, and in the PV seems to imply Goku is evolving again as he fights the Girls.

Its not hard to understand.
