I really wish people would stop talking about, "the ability to breath in space." I want everyone to stop and just think about it.

What is breathing? You suck air into your lungs. But what is space? A vast space of just...nothing. There's literally nothing in space to breathe, so I don't understand why people continue to say, "breathe in space."

Individuals such as Freeza can survive in space, but "surviving in space" has a totally different meaning than "breathing in space". Heck, even look in the comics world. Numerous Superman issues state that, before traveling into space, he stores tons of oxygen deep inside of his lungs and blood cells before venturing on long journeys.

So please, stop using the phrase "breathe in space". It's literally not possible.
Breathe is Space is just a quick way of saying survive in space without suffocating, the majority of people know what you mean when you say breathe in space and the fact their is no air to truly breathe.
"Breathe in space".

"Survive in space".

Not seeing exactly how it's a "shorter way".

Yeah thats what I am saying. I think its possible for Goku to survive in the vacuum of space simply because there are other ways that he could get oxygen from. Maybe he could convert ki or energy into an oxygen and breathe that way.They could also communicate thru their minds but perhaps Its possible for Toriyama to even override the laws of reality, logic and common sense if he wanted too because he's the author of dragon ball.

Anyone read the latest DBS chapter? How was Beerus and Whis where able to talk to each other after destroying the planet and literally floating in the vacuum of space?
They wouldn't be able to hear each other! But hey its dragon ball, real logic and laws dont really apply to it.

I don't think that's too far-fetched. A few characters have been shown to have telepathy to some degree.

Because the reason you can't survive in space is because you can't breath so if something can survive in space it is an automatic response to type they can breathe in space despite Space having no oxygen. I know that there is nothing to breathe in space but when I'm discussing the survival in space topic I still use the word breathe as that is the only reason saiyans can't really be in space.

You're believing too much, man xD
It's possible, though. It would really be asinine to air FnF before KtK but whatever, as long as the movies come here. Dubbed versions, though... :?

The Heroes website offered us our first look at the Dragon Ball Super Start Guide:

Don't really like how unproportionally thin/small Shanpa's arms and shoulders are next to his big torso. I know this is how Toriyama draws limbs nowadays but Yamamuro could have tweaked the design a bit so it doesn't look so odd.

I don't think it's anatomically incorrect. He sort of reminds me of my old boss. who had a needle-thin frame, but a pronounced beer-gut. It's probably how I'll look by middle age. :lol:

Toriyama is still capable of drawing larger muscles on characters he wants to have them. Golden Freeza has muscles almost the same as characters like Goku in the old days, and Gyumao arms in his Battle of Gods art are huge as well. So if he really wanted Champa to have bigger arms to fit his larger body, he easily could have done so.

I wonder if that's Vegeta's leather jacket in that one tiny screenshot.

Looks like Champa's female Whis-alike associate might have her name revealed on the Super Start Guide cover. Shame the image isn't larger so that it's clearly legible! = S

Also, even though it's tiny I'm liking the look of the blue shirt/jacket thing that Vegeta's wearing in that one shot. New casual clothes are always fun to see! = D

Are you talking about that image with both of them? It just says "mysterious characters".

Ah, thanks - apologies. Thought we might have something there - nothing to see here, then!

Isn't that just the shot of Gohan & Videl walking that's been seen in the 15-second trailer? The layout, buildings etc all look identical from what I can see.

I hope we'll see a Ultimate Gohan Vs Goku SSj3 fight.
I'm sure that after Buu saga Goku would want to try his son's new power and train with him like the good old time.
