I love Uub (his fight with Bebi was one of my favorite GT episodes). I also love Vegeta, Piccolo,the Half-Saiyans, and humans and have always wanted to see them in more of a lead role, but I'm too distracted by the expansion of the Dragon Ball and Shadow Dragon mythologies that this comic is presenting. Not to mention the incorporation of the movie characters as I am a big fan of the movies. Toyble is making sense of all this random stuff in fandom and crafting a story worthy of the Dragon Ball title.
Even though the art was spotty in these most recent 20 pages, I'm still having a damn good time reading this manga.
I don't get what you guys mean...Toyables art has been great through the whole thing guys -.-

The flying fuck? Vargas showing up like 20 pages in telling us about the greatest tournament in history? Sure it's not much of a plot but hey the best arcs in DB were the tournaments. So suck that. So the main villain needs to appear for the plot to start? Wrong. My point was, this tournament is likely only the set up of a much larger canvas.
SS4 Gohan makes sense
The flying fuck? HALF SAIYANS CANT GO SSJ AND GOHAN HAS NO DESIRE AT ALL TO GET STRONGER! It just fucking came out of nowhere.
plus he's the last living Saiyan with a tail.
Wrong. I'm sure goten and trunks had their tails removed at birth.
Because XXI, who is presumably the main villain (even though its not confirmed), hasn`t fought yet. But he will eventually. In the meantime, the manga has been great in making us understand that everybody in that tournament has his/her own agenda, even Freeza and the Super Namek. The manga is not just about "main villain appears, omg so powerful, how can they win, one or two plot twist, and there, a solution to defeat the villain emerges and they win, making the total fight count of the story less than 10". It has so much more than that (including many and great details).
Finally someone gets it.
1. Gohan being SS4 makes sense because if you look at what Gohan has done in all of Z up until the Buu Saga, and even look at how it was HIM who got SS2 first and beat Cell...being halfhuman actually gives him a natural advantage OVER full blooded saiyans, he just slacks off afterwards.
2. WRONG. Akira Toriyama said himself in an interview in Shonen Jump that the lack of a tail on Trunks and Goten is because its a recessive trait on them. Which also explains why Gohan can go SS4 and they cannot..they lack a tail. Which makes a bigger difference than some realize. For one thing, SS4 requires a tail. For another, Gohan was clearly being brought up the whole way to be superior to Goten and Trunks many times, even after they were older in GT, etc.....so it makes SENSE for him to get it more than for them to get it.
3. Your comment on XXI..I'll just have to wait and see how that goes. Honestly, I feel the plot in Dragonball Multiverse is seriously lacking compared to AF, but I also understand that the plot isn't the point. The point is to see kickass fights between different Dragonball related characters in different universes..in which case, mission accomplished...oh and is it just me or should Mary Sue win the whole damn tournament for basically being a Goddess -facepalms- (I mean goddess figuratively, not literally) seriously, I still can't get past how much that character bothers me.
