I really need to see this chapter!

By the way, did Champa see Vegeta and Goku fighting before they had there heavy suits on? Surely that's why he called them push overs, right?
I think he didnt, he only appeared after Whis made Goku and Vegeta wear those heavy suits.

So they are really 2 sets of Super Dragonballs. One in U6 and one in U7.

But why is Champa searching in U7 for them.

And are there living Nameks in U6 as well who made the small DragonBalls or how Champa knew he story?

A lot of people seem concerned with implications and characterization, but I'm just wondering how big the Dragon from the Super DBs is going to be.

Knowing Toriyama, it's probably going to be around the size of the Oracle fish.

Clasic Toriyama :lol:
Dragon Ball was always a kid series and fans should stop being in denial.

Boo loves fighting strong guys, have you forgotten that? He was excited when he fought Goku, and he was also excited when he heard that someone even stronger (Gotenks) will appear.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. 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.

This chapter sounds fantastic and I do have to say that I found it quite amusing how Vegeta was somewhat vouching for Gohan to take part in the tournament and Goku was like, "Fuck that guy!". The Gohan fanboys are going to lose their shit over this. I can just imagine the YouTube comments we're gonna get. :lol:

So i guess this ends the 4 galaxies thing?

And my boy Piccolo and Buu are fighting the tournament,I hope they get some powerup and not just enter the tournament only to get thier ass kicked in the first fight.At this point,i really cant wait for the anime version for this.

Let's just hope this line doesn't get lost in translation because God knows the fanbase need to informed of this.

A lot of interesting stuff in this chapter (like Champa saying he doesn't care for this universe (7th) anymore, much like earlier Dragon Ball villains said about destroying planets as a result of their rage).

I'm glad that Beerus picked the fighters that I thought he would pick, with the exception of Whis. Or perhaps Whis disguises himself as the misterious character?

Looking forward to see the Super Shenlong and the extension of his powers.

With Gohan not getting any action, my hype has been crushed for this Universe 6 arc. Looks as if he'll be sitting at home reading the newspaper being a good ol' dad.

One thing I haven't seen anyone mention, which is still a mystery, is the 9 star Dragon Ball Champa is holding in the promotional picture:

Fake:
Even in the manga, where the 9-star ball appeared, it's just an error. There are 7 DBs in the cover, and the 6-star is missing, with the 9-star in its place:

i dont have a real problem with gohan doing his thing.

This chapter is like Toriyama is personally answering his fans and saying that he doesn't care about Gohan, he will never care about Gohan again, he doesn't like writing him and you're not gonna force him to do so. And good on him.

Wasn't he originally going to be the one to defeat Buu until Goku fans got the better of him? Toriyama likes Gohan but I'm guessing he's scared to make him in the spotlight again.
