I think that was probably the worst thing in the entire episode. Her archetype is terrible to begin with and she's not doing anything new with it.

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.

Thing is Kale isnt a walking Broly homage anymore, she is now her own character, which makes her bearable.

Now with Tien saying that Kale got stronger in her controlled Berserker form should mean her Broly form wont return again, otherwise it would make episode 114 useless in terms of development.

Helped that Kale has become a likeable character, getting rid of her Broly form is for the best, now she is her own character, with room of improvement.
She was never a Broly to begin with, she only had the same transformation as Broly. She is very different from Broly actually, in her Berserker she becomes uncontrollable while Broly could control himself, stay stable and speak properly in the first movie. These two characters are very different from each other.
Their motivations are different but in the end Kale will only ever be a cheap Broly knockoff IMO.

Her personality is actually less likeable than Broly IMO. Though I like Caulifla better.

Its not because Kale has the same transformation that it means she is Broly or anything like him... its like saying Goku is Vegeta because they both have SSJB. Kale isn't only an homage to Broly, she always been her own character with Broly's transformation, that's all.

I doubt anyone from Universe 7 is going. If you are looking for eliminations it is probably going to be Catopesra, Caulifla and Kale.

Personally I like Kale much more than Broly. Broly always came off as a generic tough guy to me

I hope these all to suffer in the hands of the former U7 Evil Emperor.

Your generic yandere.
The word "yandere", a term that blossomed in moe fandom, refers to a character who is crazy about someone else… often literally and violently.

Or to give more definition:

Yanderes are usually identifiable by their blank eyes when they go crazy, blood being soaked on them for the majority of their screentime, carrying at least one signature weapon that they use to kill and/or attack others for the majority of their screentime, a mostly Moe appearance or at least an appearance that will deceive others, psychotic behavior, and a tendency to attack and/or kill people who would get in the way of his/her love. Many of them are Ax-Crazy. When on the Good Guys' team, they are often the Token Evil Teammate.

The character almost always appears perfectly cute and harmless on the surface… but underneath they may be obsessive, controlling, and sometimes just plain insane.

Not seeing how Kale fits yandere since she isn't violent towards Cali and her line towards Goku also doesn't fit a yandere. Maybe you're thinking of something else.

Again, she has room to improve, if we get Planet Sadala Arc(instead of a TV Special or Movie), then Kale will get more development.

She can get stronger too, first thing is she has to train her weak base form.

Literally Kale. And the page you got that definition from already lists Kale as one.

She attacked her three times in her Berserk form so far.
and her line towards Goku also doesn't fit a yandere.
Getting overprotective and obsessive for something completely insignificant (like dodging an attack) to the point where she gets angry and threatens her opponent is a key trait of a yandere.

Kale was only shown to be 'crazy' in her Berserk form. Once she got control of it, she's perfect fine and her character is docile. It's not different that an out of control Great Ape.

Berserk form when she had no sense of herself, just like when Goku and Gohan went Great Ape. So, not seeing how that's part of her character, especially once she got it under control.

Kale wasn't obsession since the line was her being mad that her friend got hurt, which is kind of a normal reaction. Her scolded Goku was just funny. And the only 'threat' she gave Goku was to ring him out, which was what she was supposed to do.

Except she's not. She transforms when she gets angry. And she gets angry because she gets jealous/protective over completely insignificant nonsense. Thinking Caulifla loves Cabba. Caulifla enjoying herself with Goku and ignoring her. Goku dodging an attack in a live-or-die tournament. She's definitely crazy, in the obsessive psycho bitch kind of way.

As I said, generic archetype, nothing interesting has been done with it.

I have to agree with this. I'm really not a fan of her personnality, I prefer when she stays calm and silent. She can be cute and all, but I don't know, I just don't like her personnality at all.

But she wasn't angry in 114. She went Berserk because she powered up too much and couldn't control it, then she quickly got control of it. Even in 101 she went into her Berserk form without anger, but out of encouragement from Cali. She also haven't gotten jealous/protective over Cali since 100 since she had no problem standing by last episode and watching Cali have fun. She even smiled and was proud to see what Cali was doing and didn't jump in until Goku invited her. Her reaction to Cali getting hurt this episode wasn't really 'overprotected'.

Can't see how she's definitely crazy, in the obsessive psycho bitch kind of way, especially after 101 when she hasn't shown these traits outside of asking Goku 'why he dodged' was was obviously played for laughs.

Yes, it was. Caulifla didn't get hurt. She bumped her head. Kale didn't say "How dare you hurt Sis?" She said "How dare you dodge Sis' attack?" Two completely different things, one is much more insignificant than the other and one definitely makes her look a lot worse and petty than the other.

I'm aware it was played for laughs. I'm saying it wasn't very funny or interesting. It was bad and it made a bad character look even worse.

I don't think they would eliminate a U7 fighter in an episode that doesn't even focus on any of them. Kafla is definitely the main focus here. I don't think Catopesra will go out either, at least not until we see everything his suit can do, and I doubt we will see it an episode that focuses on Kafla. Remember, the guy looks completely different in the Godpad.

17 was also angry when he was fighting Ribrianne. Both of the androids looked angry in the NEP. I say we should wait for the episode to air before making assumptions because NEPs are almost always misleading. If they do eliminate any U7 fighter though, I will be incredibly dissapointed.
