Then he says he needs to get back to his fieldwork and takes off.
Did Goku butt in and make the wish, or did Kaio change his wish after Goku had his say?

Hmm, and Whis mentions that Kaio could have restored his original planet back in BoG (when they talk about Beerus destroying it)'' Sure kaio at your statue knows that '' or something like that.

Nice nice..!

Goku butted in and made the wish. He's a real jerk in this.

How did Goku make the wish? Shouldn't he speak the Namekian language?

But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

I actually love how Goku gets Kaios planets wished back. :lol: Super's leaving no stone unturned, it's packing in feats, and adding explanations for things. This fills me with hope that Gohan will keep his ultimate state. :D

Gokû, you don't even live there, that's not your decision to make. (>﹏<)
*face-palms*
Kaio should've gone to Namek without him. There's a number of characters that Gokû seems like he feels he can completely act out around (Bulma, Vegeta, and Piccolo being the others Gokû's picked, imo), and unfortunately for Kaio he's one of them.

Edit:
Oh! This doesn't even take place on Namek, it's on Snake Way?! Huh.

It's not incredibly legible, but it looks like Kaio was going to wish for lower gravity as well on the new planet, which is why Goku wanted to butt in and change the wish (affects Goku's training intensity!). :)

lol. Goku's such a dick.
"Dragon Ball once became a thing of the past to me, but after that, I got angry about the live action movie, re-wrote an entire movie script, and now I'm complaining about the quality of the new TV anime.

It's possible that they made the Namek Dragon Balls able to understand any language many years after Freeza or sometime after Buu.

Or maybe Muri made a temporary modification to the Dragon Balls, so that they will grant one wish, since that's all Kaio needed, and they can use the universal language, so that Kaio could make the new planet exactly how he wanted without Muri making any mistakes.

The Namekians probably realized that with the frequency Earthlings tend to need "favors", they might as well teach Porunga Standard. :lol:

Jump Victory Carnival (previously the "Saikyo V Jump Festa") is taking place right now. Each year, the event gets its own little booklet that contains information about the event, promotions, etc. They also include special bonus chapters from V-Jump / Saikyo Jump / etc. authors. There have been contributions from Toyotaro for the last several years; 2013 and 2014 were Victory Mission bonus chapters. Naho Ooishi also contributed bonus chapters of Dragon Ball SD the same two years with Trunks travelling back in time (and a short two-page comic the year before that).

The previous years' books? Not directly. They always pop up on eBay and Yahoo! Japan auctions, though.

Looking at Super pacing an the manga pacing, do you think TOEI is trying not to overtake the manga adaptation or the adaptation is cutting content just so it can go to the main point at once ?
Dragon Ball was always a kid series and fans should stop being in denial.

It's definitely the latter. That's what the manga's going to be; a shorter, to-the-point, adaption of the anime.
