Does Kaioshin explain that they got separated with the Namekian Dragon Balls?
Yes, he does.
I'm really glad they didn't sweep that under the rug.

I think it's in toriyama's character to have Buu ace the exam because he was ultra book smart this entire time.

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.

You know what would be cool?. If at the end of the tournament, the villain of this arc stole and used the super dragon balls to wish so that "All other dragon balls cannot resurrect the dead". The catch would be that this guy faked to be good, and he's the only one who can speak the required language.

Holy shit that would be low.

Awesome, thanks.

So, correct me if I'm wrong, but the Champa arc in the manga so far fits perfectly in continuity with BoG & FnF, and don't require watching the BoG & FnF arcs of the Super manga & anime, right? They haven't referenced anything that is different between the movies, anime, and manga, and anything new from them that is referenced is explained again (we learn again that Champa & Vados had been gathering the SDBs, and that Kibitoshin was split back to Kaioshin & Kibito with the NDBs).
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.

That would be pretty funny and would perfectly fit in with the "Don't judge a book by its cover" trope that Toriyama loves to invoke.

I'm going to assume since it's a dude in space saying "AGE 41" that it isn't the Earth Calendar.

Most important points are a couple of pages back. The full thing won't probably be translated word for word very soon.

That would be cool, if this character would want to be a god of destruction, but knowing about the dragon balls resurrecting people, destruction would be pointless, and no order in the universe would be made. And since Whis and Beerus have toned down considerably thanks to Goku and Co. He would take this chance to make death relevant again.

Based on what just happened in the anime and now being the only one absent from the observers (I mean come on, even Bulma's parents are there) I think that he'll have some sort of side story/character development/etc. Or at least I hope so.

All of the new character designs are dope besides the nipple dude (cool design > short joke) :yawn:
Hopefully he gets a sick transformation. I would've liked the Saiyan to be a girl but it's whatever, Gohan should be training not at a conference :crazy:
I think it'd be pretty cool for U7 to lose by having Vegeta + someone who isn't Goku be the only winners.

Well, she gets more screen time than her male counterpart so its not a gender thing. But yeah 18 is a pretty cool character, she should have been used in ROF instead of roshi

I don't understand why they didn't have him train with Goku and Vegeta in the time room.

So the Super Dragon Balls are about three times bigger than the Earth :wtf:

The Earth's diameter is about 12000 km... the DBs are 37000 km... think about it.

I just realized that a Saiyan and a Freeza race character are on the same team. Are they friendly towards each other? I feel like we're going to have something interesting happen between them.
Heroes come and go, but legends are forever.
