Toyotaro seems like a real workaholic when it comes to drawing so I wouldn't be surprised if he has a buffer of at least one chapter ahead of the published one.

That doesn't make a frickin' sense, why would a tsufruian from other universe hate a Saiyan from another?

Did you read? I’m not talking about Zarbuto and Vegeta but Toriyama keeping the conflict between the two races. For example, have Vegeta mention how the Saiyans defeated the Tsufruians on Planet Plant and changed it to Planet Vegeta if he ever confronts or is approached by Zarbuto. I wasn’t... talking Zarbuto hating Vegeta because he has no reason to. The Saiyans never destroyed Planet Sadala in the Sixth Universe so they never encountered the Tsufruians (they probably did encounter the Tsufruians, so if they did, they probably have a good relationship).

Am I the only one who thinks Goku is extremely naive in the manga as opposed to his anime counterpart.

I don't know some said he was pretty stupid in the recent chapter, but no one confirmed that yet.

I am very curious to see how the Freeza thing is handled. The manga has NOT set up goku as the villain or fall guy for the tournament and it doesn't appear that any of the other GoDs blame him unlike in the anime. So will we even get the u9 assassins? Will freeza be as strong as goku? I'm very curious

When Goku goes to retrieve Frieza from hell, I wouldn't be apposed to Toyotaro including a couple flashback chapters that cover the events of the Resurrection F arc. Something like what Future Trunks got with his battle against Babidi and Dabura, but lengthier and more fleshed out. Think something around the length of the manga's Battle of Gods arc, or perhaps a tad shorter for the sake of brevity.

It'd serve the dual purpose of establishing Frieza's power and justifying his inclusion on the team, as well as rounding out the story by finally re-introducing the arc that was omitted from the manga. The only real concern would be that the flashback might stall the pacing quite a bit and derail from the pre-tournament build up, but aside from that, it's a golden ( :wink: ) opportunity for Toyotaro to include his own version of Resurrection F. I've been keen to see his take on the arc for a long time now and I'd be fine with him taking a detour from the Tournament of Power if it means getting to finally have the arc in its entirety in manga form.

Since Universe 9 hasn't been built up in the manga as a primary enemy of Universe 7, I doubt we'll be getting the assassination plot. If we get some solid Resurrection F flashbacks though, I wouldn't be bothered by the exclusion of that subplot. Frieza can still get his power boost to rival Goku via image training like he did in the anime, so there's no problems there. That said, I could also see Toyotao omitting that power-up if it's not a part of Toriyama's notes, so we'll have to wait and see.
The post-Super fandom has ruined my love for Dragon Ball.

How don’t get how not knowing what child birth is considered dumb? Especially for Gokuh. The guy did not go to school, wasn’t taught sexual education, so people expect Son Gokuh to know about child birth?

Well, he spend most of life on Earth, he could pretty have time to watch TV, read magazines or even ask his friends about it.

You really think Gokuh watches TV and reads magazines? The Gokuh I know most likely doesn’t watch TV or read...

Well, I don't think he trains 24/7 as it seems Goku slacked off a bit 5 years after 23rd TB. He could have some leisure time :P

Gokuh never stops training. That’s his hobby.

He's a Saiyan, but not a machine. He also has to stop for his biological needs :)

You know, I'm kinda surprised about the fact that nobody is really talking about Viz's translation of Super manga volume 2 came out yesterday, when almost everyone was talking about volume 1 when that came out here. What's up with that?

The problem is the funi dub. In the Z dub he sounds like a genius. Goku is even able to correctly explain the speed of light to Future Trunks and conceptual understands speed of light travel.

There’s nothing to talk about. Like most English releases, they come way behind the Japanese releases so the hype died a long time ago. Nothing special is in Volume 2 to talk about that isn’t in the Japanese version except that it’s in English. Volume 1 was talked about because it’s the first volume of the English release.
