Super Saiyan God and Freeza returning is also like every Dragonball fanfic in the early 2000's.

I would like for Toshio to write the whole Planet Sadala Arc, he has been on a roll lately, last night he got the characters right, hell even Kale looked likeable for the first time ever, by playing the "straight guy" to Caulifla.

Planet Sadala Arc to be Vegetas Arc, and also its a perfect chance to have him defeat the Main Antagonist of the arc.

Freeza returning yes, Super Saiyan God, not really. Most of the fanfics I saw was about Super Saiyan 5 or 7.

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.

Honestly with the amount of Pokemon God I seen in my childhood before Arceus existed, he has a point about God though I would say just in name while the execution was...different than what I expected

Vegeta isn't the main character so fat chance of that happening.

What even are these? :wtf:
Gohan Blanco is a meme,the meme was created of course to make fun of the outrageous expectations of Gohan's fans since the Top started.
It even has its own wikipage http://ultradragonball.wikia.com/wiki/S ... hite_Gohan
http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/1305005-dragon-ball
I feel there should be a Vegeta Blanco as well. That image with Zen-Oh's strange face and Shaggy facing off Rolf is hilarious.

Based on how forced into everything Goku's been and what GT's writers said about Toei wanting him in the spotlight for kids, I doubt Vegeta will get anything like that in the anime. The manga's a different story.
Big Black Saiyan wrote:Vegeta isn't the main character so fat chance of that happening.
He wasn't in the manga either yet he got Black all to himself and the final attack on fused Zamasu. Toei are worried about "kids" losing interest in someone other than Goku, that's the only reason we won't see something like that in the anime.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

Actually their best feat thus far was giving Piccolo and Base Gohan a slight challenge. that's no where near the likes of real powerhouses like Goku, Vegeta, Android 17, or Frieza.
JazzMazz wrote: That would be terrible writing. It would literally be, the same thing we always get. Don't you want anything original?

I would be fine if they were both competent fighters, but I believe it would be far more interesting if their real strength came from miscellaneous abilities(which we know Namekians have) and there teamwork, which would allow them to overcome stronger opponents.
It wouldn't be boring nor unoriginal. There really haven't been powerful Namekians, so this would almost be a first. I guess Piccolo was powerful speaking relatively, but that was almost always brief.
Your missing my point, beside a different character and different coloured flashy lights, how would the content of the fight be any different to any other fight where an opponent won because they were simply stronger?

The answer is, it wouldn't be any different. Also, having fighters whose only key attribute is their strength, makes them completely expendable as characters as they have nothing else of value to offer once the hurdle in power has been surpassed and other stronger fighters come a long. This is why I and a lot of other people liked Hit, he was a fighter whose key attribute didn't make him expendable in the long-term of things, even though his battle strength had already been surpassed.
It's not always about how the battle looks or what techniques are used. Sure, that's one component of originality, but so is the actual context within the battle. Having strong Namekians in the series was always a rarity, and it would be great for that to change. A Namekian fighter who constantly trains and keeps up with the Saiyans would be refreshing in and of itself, considering the fact that Piccolo had been surpassed back in the Buu saga.

Although Piccolo probably did manage to climb back up on the power scale and finally surpass the top contenders of the Buu saga, it still doesn't take away from the fact that the Saiyan fighters are still leagues ahead.

A new Namekian fighter keeping up with top contenders like Goku, Vegeta, Android 17, and Frieza, would by far be more intriguing than a pair of weaklings somehow getting lucky with their strategy.

A provisional title for episode 115 has leaked and (some) people are gonna be pissed off about who the new warrior is :lol:

Let's say two become one and the majority guessed who the pair will be.

It took the boys non stop training to perfect the fusion dance, even a little mistake can cause a very bad fusion result..
But not for Mary Cauliflowa and hulky kale, they know what's up from the get go, what else can they piss all over? See next time on Dragonball super..

Joking aside, I am curious how the fusion result looks, maybe it's actually a good fighter with a tolerable personality!

I'm disappointed with the names I came up with back then when I also thought it'll be them fusing, the closest one I got was Kalifa :lol:

I hope the new fusion character is ripped and buffer than Jiren and Goku combined.
