The Kaioken does increase muscle mass when multiplied.

Anyone know when at Jump Festa they're going to announce the teaser info for the next arc? Dragon Ball doesn't have a stage this year.

It'll probably just be a press release then.

For those who were in doubt, that first FUNimation clip confirmed no replacement score.

Any other tidbits about the dub?

But Super Saiyan God came out of nowhere so the point is is that if they can then Namekians and Humans can aslo have a transformation or power up out of nowhere.
It's still a transformation, which Saiyans have. It just has God ki added to it. Humans just get stronger, not transformed. The same with Namekians.

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

Well to Recap what's been found out, there /is/ a censored dub for TV distribution, but Sabat seems unsure if it's going to be used so they might not know where it's going yet
Toei apparently requested a clip of Mr. Satan and buu to be taken down and while it could just be because Toonami Asia used the same clip, the American clip also used the uncut dub (I remember one of the Press guys saying "Mr. Satan") so a children's network could very well still be on the table

Other than that and the cast there's nothing we really know about it

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.

Well Namekians can go big so if changing hair is a transformation then so is that so that makes your point invalid to me.

Super Saiyan God still came out of nowhere with no history unlike Super Saiyan and giant ape.

Damn, characters riding random vehicle really reminds me of old Toriyama style. Really nostalgic feeling there.

So some cat waking up saying there is a Super Saiyan God is not coming out of nowhere to you. As he could have easily just said that there is a namekian god or an earthling god.

Hate to break it to you, but those pretty much came out of nowhere too. Super Saiyan wasn't hinted at until Kuririn met with the Grand Elder, and even then, the concept wasn't complete yet. A Super Saiyan as we know it wasn't referenced until at least Vegeta vs. Jheese. As for the Oozaru transformation, it absolutely came out of nowhere. Goku and co. just happened to get trapped on the night of a full moon, where Goku, with absolutely no foreshadowing, was revealed to be a where-monkey. The only transformations in Dragon Ball that weren't contrived were Freeza's (even though his stems from Zarbon, which was contrived af*), Mastered Super Saiyan, and Cell's.

*Zarbon hinting at Freeza's transformation was omitted from the anime, although it was referenced by Vegeta at the beginning of the Freeza confrentation

At least, there is some backstory behind Super Saiyan God.

Toriyama couldn't be bothered to come up with anything more than the most generic, contrived backstory imaginable. It's not even an "at least" thing, it would have been better without a backstory than with a bad one.

Subjectivity. I love the story behind it, and i hope it will be explained later in Dragon Ball Super, maybe with the Saiyans of U6
