Is It Just Me or Does Cabba Suck?

I like Cabba. I like the brotherly Sensei and Student relationship he had with Vegeta. I like he subverted the muscular macho man aesthetic that became the status quo by the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai.

Really the U6 Saiyajin were some of the best thing about Super

In the manga Cabba has some muscles, which is what I prefer. I don't mind Cabba being slim and less muscles compared to universe 7 Saiyan, but having zero visible muscles is what I don't like in the anime.


Cabba and Vegeta being master and student relationship is cool, although Vegeta should focus on Trunks.

IMO Cabba needed more time to grow out of a student and to be seen amongst his fellow Saiyans, especially their king.

Cabba has always just felt like a stand-in for Tarble to me- And Tarble as a unseen, unmentioned little brother to Vegeta already felt like a forced idea to begin with (though thinking about it, I kinda like how Goku and Vegeta wound up both having nothing brothers that only appear once).

Giving Vegeta a young student of sorts is an interesting idea though, it builds off of the bits we see in Z of him training with both the Future and Present (young) versions of his son. Everything that came from that idea feels like it could have been accomplished with Tarble- though considering Tarble was a forced idea himself, I guess making this pseudo-student not an out-of-nowhere little brother to Vegeta was an improvement.

His existence is just kinda weird, that's the most noteworthy thing about him for me.

I like Caulifla and Kale though. They gave us some of Super's best storytelling.
