The OST has a few good ones: But also a lot of really bad ones: I think the few tracks that were actually in the U6 episodes were a bit of an improvement overall from some of the past stuff, and I hope Sumitomo does continue to improve, but the majority of his work for Super is admittedly bland.
Do you know what song played when Vegeta killed Ginyu?
I believe it is this one (Time to Strike Back(?)): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkkGcug ... AwpgxesT6x

I think this post only tells about your taste of music. I find pretty much all of these pieces of OST enjoyable in their own way, although I agree some of them might be bit overused and/or placed in wrong scenes of the show.
Music taste is entirely subjective of course, but I'm not sure a lot of the stuff I listed as bad fits Dragon Ball. There are admittedly some that I liked which don't seem like they fit either (such as this) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_WfuQh ... AwpgxesT6x but that's a part of taste. Heck there are a fair amount of Bruce Faulconer songs that I like on their own but I think most of his music just isn't suited for the show. If you like the OST though, there's nothing wrong with that.

So worried/nervous/anxious about this. King Ryû's my favorite scriptwriter on Super. I hope they didn't get pulled or something. :shock:

No dont worry, they will not just bring him and then take him out(highly unlikely).He probably thought he shouldn't have made it that much public, or someone in toei said something, as is the case with twitter accounts.

Oh ok. If it's just they didn't want him posting about it that's ok. I'm enjoying his episodes so much I wouldn't want to lose him from Super.

Maybe it's because his comment implied that Toriyama's outline didn't cover the movie adaptations?

Ryu isn't that good. The last episode was horrendous. Can't write fighting episodes at all.

Ryu is at no fault if the animation is trash. The script was solid.

So basicaly Piccolo has not got stronger at all and is going to lose easy according to this which will be just ridiculous.
If this happens then I might just stop watching super, is that hard to give some characters a power up

I thought compared to the manga at least the Botamo battle had a pretty weak script. He didn't hype the stamina issues as Goku's reason for holding back as much as the manga, also no comment about even transformation not being enough to damage Botamo, which would hype his ability even more. There's the comment after the battle is over about how if it were a real battle things could be different, but that's rather misplaced coming after Botamo's defeat. The 2nd half of the episode was better though.

So it seems Piccolo may also fall under the Vegeta situation from fans again. This sounds like people really jumped the gun, but we'll see.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

Well, looks like a lot of people jumped and the gun. Piccolo really didn't get any stronger. But we'll still have to wait for the episode to explain everything. Hopefully.

It looks like the key to winning in this tournament is brains so Piccolo has a high chance of winning.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

Right now I do think Piccolo is going to win by outsmarting Frost somehow.

I think Piccolo will probably lose to whoever the third fighter is and then it'll be Vegeta's turn.
