Here's a better quality image of the scan posted a few pages back.

It appears Jaco got stronger! He fights on par with the soldiers.
Yea I thoroughly enjoyed the fighting scenes in chapter 3. I also love the way Toyble draws Freeza. He just looks more fierce and intimidating in his drawings.

It's too small to see clearly what it says, but the characters used for SSGSS's card name appears to be different from "神を超えたサイヤ人" (and fewer of them).

My personal "canon" and BP list. (Coming Soon)
Ok, from what I can make from the Katakana, the blue line says "goddo fainaru furasshu", or "God Final Flash". I don't know enough kanji to see what it says underneath on the red line other than "saiyajin no" something something something.

You're looking in the wrong place. The proper form name is to the right with the transformation mechanic; specifically under the little picture of SSGSS Vegeta. Way too tiny to read.

(It's just one scan, it's ok right?)
Spoiler:
What was the point of the hand holding thing? You can place your hand anywhere on Goku and you'd get the same result. Sounds kinda like a forced joke.
I'm still shocked no one else tries to learn Shunkan Ido or Kai Kai. They're both super practical.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

Doctor. wrote:I've explained before, I'll just paraphrase myself.
Power levels establish tension and drama. People who care about them (well, people who care about them in a narrative) don't care about the big numbers or the fancy explosions. If you have character A who's so much above character B, who's the main character, you're gonna be left wondering how in the hell character B, the character we're supposed to care and root for, is going to escape the situation or overcome the odds. It makes us emotionally invested.
If character B doesn't escape the situation in a believable way that's consistent with previous events, then that emotional investment is gone. It was pointless tension, pointless drama made just to suck in the viewer. It has no critical value whatsoever. The audience is left believing that the author can just create whatever scenarios he wants and what happens to the characters is decided by whatever the author wants to happen, regardless of the events that happened in the story. Which, in fairness, is what happens, but the audience wants to be fooled. The audience wants to know that the world they're following has rules. That the world they're invested in isn't going to bend to external factors that are irrelevant to them.
An author can do whatever he wants with the characters, that's not false. But the author should also have the responsibility to make sure it fits in cohesively with the other events in the narrative he has created.
I think we're all gonna know the exact moment Chuquita sees that Goku/Vegeta panel, because a high pitched fangirl shriek will echo throughout the land.

Awwwww yeah. My favorite character alongside my favorite additional character. Things are shaping up pretty well for me.
That said, now that all of the chapters are out...well, I suppose I'll ask in the avatar thread.

Caught it/blogged it earlier, incredibly entertained at how much it looks like they're about to dance, just didn't get to post about it in this thread yet: http://uchiyo-oujo.tumblr.com/post/116583017627

I'm of the opinion that Gokû is trolling Vegeta by asking for his hand. BOG and Jump 08' special establish that messing with Vegeta for fun is something Gokû does now.
The alternative is just a sweetly sincere 'Wanna hold my friend's hand when we teleport instead of doing a shoulder touch.' which is nice too, but not a humor thing.
deyum! Goku's kamehame ha was ginormous.
Master Roshi cleaning house and his staff got vaporized from his Kamehame ha lol
Vegeta's smile seeing Freeza was priceless
Dang I am so hyped to see this movie tomorrow!

I cannot wait to recieve my copy of V-Jump next week, and complete my Fukkatsu no "F" Manga!. Am counting down the days until my Comic "F" arrives also!.
I wonder when FUNimation's dub will be released on home video? I say this, as BoG wasn't released on home video in Japan until about 6 months after it's theatrical debut, so we may not see it in Europe (without a theatrical run at all) until next year.
