So they haven't yet taken the written test? That's interesting. Things might still change next chapter... I really hope they don't, though. :?

I say kinda because the lack of a female fighter (Is that mini Gohan a girl?!) is disappoiting.
It was disappointing to me at first that we didn't get an female saiyans, but then I remembered that Vados is the strongest Dragon character we've seen so far and she is woman, so it softens the blow.

I dont get why people want a female character so much. All i want is strong characters with a cool design. Doesnt matter if its male or female

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

Oh and thank you TDC and thank your fiancé too for translating all that stuff! It's much appreciated.
So the chapter ends with Vegeta exclaiming Freeza and that Freeza like character, reacting to that name..
Shit maybe there's some good backstory here!

He should be able to as Freeza's true form is supposed to be how their races true form and these other forms were designed to suppress their power.

I feel like this gets forgotten in a lot of things though.
It's only ever stated to apply to Freeza(and even that is debatable). Freeza could simply be a further mutation from Cold, making all normal Freeza race people more or less similar to Freeza's first form, whereas Cold could have mutated into that 2nd form Freeza equivalent.

Not only that. Dragon Ball World is infinite. Now with all these 12 universes, they have even more material to milk this forever.

If they get tired of Universe 7, they can try using other universes. That mini Gohan and Robot from Champa's team could much be main characters from other Toriyama manga.
Possibilities are endless now, and can open the doors to new writers.

Just put the Dragon Ball name on it and try.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

Well the Gohan thing means that he has become totally useless or something will happen to Earth and Gohan will be the only one that can stop it... I hope it's the second one.

I didn't like it him at first, I though he was weak or somekind of henchman of the real villain that I though it was Whis, but over the time I get used and started to like it.

Now most of them already love him.
I would love to see that! lol

If Goku and Vegeta trained for 3 years, shouldn't they be stronger than Beerus and hence Monaca at this point?

Does Kaioshin explain that they got separated with the Namekian Dragon Balls?
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.

I'm not sure about Beerus, but I get the feeling a big twist will be how powerful Goku, Vegeta and the others actually are, during this tournament.

The dumbest guy in the group is Goku so of course they all gotta pass, Toriyama won't exclude Goku from the tournament Image

Well, Buu is up there too :lol: maybe he absorbs Piccolo in order to pass the test :lol: (I'm not serious, of course).


Anyway, what do you think the order of the battles is going to be? Certainly seems like Purpiccolo is the "final boss". How I hope it goes:

Buu vs Robot dude - Buu wins;
Buu vs Yellow bear - Buu wins;
Buu vs Freeza - Buu loses;
Piccolo vs Freeza - Piccolo wins;
Piccolo vs Saiyan - Saiyan wins;
Vegeta vs Saiyan - Vegeta wins;
Vegeta vs Purpiccolo - Vegeta loses;
Monaca vs Purpiccolo - Monaca loses;
Goku vs Purpiccolo - could go either way.
