"Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

[TheDevilsCorpse]

Hmm. This makes it easier for the manga to potentially catch up, but that's probably all it will do. Unless the page count goes up or they change the pacing again, I'm not sure I see them going beyond Vegeta vs. Frost. The anime would still shoot by that within the month anyway.

Piccolo did do something major in this episode, he cracked that dome open. Even Champa's attacks didn't damage it.

He still fucking lost. God forbid we have 2 episodes dedicated to Piccolo fighting in Dragon Ball Goku and Vegeta edition.

How many wins do Goku and Vegeta have in this series so far? Goku has 1, Botamo, and Vegeta has none. (I don't count Freeza for either of them, Vegeta had the final blow taken away from him and Goku wasn't fighting Freeza when he killed him).
It's not like Piccolo was made a fool of and beat down, he was going to win and put up an impressive show against Frost.

And then Vegeta had to step in because he was cheated out of a victory and had a hole shot through his chest and Frost's universe 7 counterpart killed him and... oh wait no, none of that stuff happened to him. He was annoyed by Frost's voice or some stupid shit.

And? Piccolo hasn't won in DECADES and worst of all Vegeta fucking made him forfeit.

This is the second time he fucking forfeits in a tournament.

[ArchedThunder]

Why does Piccolo need to win a fight? The fact that he even did well is enough for me.

[Vice]

Why must he always lose or forfeit or not get a fight or not be around?

[LightBing]

Piccolo won. Frost cheated and the referee gave him the win. Hadn't Frost cheated, Piccolo would still win by putting a great fight, even after Goku had him as defeated.
I get disliking him stepping out. But in no way was Piccolo mistreated in this episode. He was given a opportunity to shine, at a point were he's been left behind powerwise.
It's like the Tenshinhan moment against Cell, just much better.

[Daisetsu]

Piccolo hasn't won in DECADES...

If you get technical, he won around 200 fights in Resurrection 'F'. If you don't want to get technical, well, Vegeta hadn't won a fight in decades either.

I hate the fact that piccolo was cheated a deserving win after such a long time FUCK YOU FROST YOU FUCKING CHEATER I HOPE VEGETA OR HIT BLOW YOU TO SMITHEREENS!!!

I don't really get this. Frost cheating meant that Piccolo got the win and was scheduled to fight Magetta. If you want to be angry at anyone, be angry at Vegeta. He basically forced Piccolo to forfeit AND convinced them not to disqualify Frost.

So he not only managed to have Universe 7 lose another fighter, but let Universe 6 keep one of theirs too. Stacking the odds even less in our protagonists favor. It's practically helping Cell become perfect and letting Buu be released because he let himself be enslaved by Babidi all over again.

Vegeta will lose stamina fighting against three foes in a row. I'm beginning to wonder if it will finally be Hit that defeats him when he is finally at the end of his rope? Should Monaka also lose it would be a pretty good excuse to switch the Earths and so that Gokuu and gang can explore Universe Six while being able to return to their homes on Earth.

[sintzu]

At the end there is a possibility that Piccolo could have 2 wins, Goku and Monaka 1 each and Vegeta 0. Who would have thought of that.

Definitely, not Vegeta fanboys.

Why would we think of something that would never happen ?

[IGhostUlt]

What would be the point for them to redo the 2 movies into arcs and only do one extra arc only to end it shortly after?

Selling more merchandise.

I don't think the next Super episode will be worked on during the 1 week break, they'll either take a break themselves from the show or if possible, the animators will switch their sights to another show. I hope they actually spend the extra week on it though, I usually don't nitpick or notice a lot of bad art or animation but for some reason it just jumped out at me this episode. It probably wasn't in between shots and was instead 10 second long ones.

Don't be disappointed, Piccolo fans! He won either way the match would have gone. You can consider Vegeta stepping up agains Frost as a special request since, judging from their conversation, Piccolo was already having doubts about continuing.

I wonder what's the deal with Frost and Hit... was that Nameless Planet as well?

It's easy to be the general after battle.

Piccolo didn't have to forfeit... Again.

No he didn't lose, Frost cheated and was disqualified, Piccolo won. They just set Piccolo up as being on par with or stronger than a God of Destruction, that's a huge deal. We'll definitely see more of Piccolo.

That would make Frost stronger than Champa (Who Champa seemed fully confident in eliminating) or Piccolo would be so strong he wouldn't have needed to bother trying to use his signature move while trying not to get touched. Not to mention Frost said and was severely weakened beforehand. Neither of which makes sense. The whole point of the fight was that a tired Frost was still far out of Piccolo's league (With Goku even believing Piccolo probably had no chance). So Piccolo had to quickly try to use his most powerful move, and avoid coming to blows with Frost as much as he can. So Piccolo being God of Destruction tier is ridiculous.
