Oh yeah. XD

Wow, we are out of colors.
They could always go with mixing them :D Multi colored hair, each spike a different color. Wouldn't that be something.

Still hoping for white though. The heat intensity argument could somehow provide an explanation for the last two colors.

Let's hope not, especially blue SSJ3, it would look awful.
That's what people said when SSB came out and now they loved it.

I'm actually most excited for blue ss3. But man, I really wish ssg was blue and ssgss was red.

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.

As it stands now, it looks like Piccolo had 3 days of training while Vegeta and Goku got 3 years. :lol: Hopefully there's some surprise to Piccolo.

3 days in the time chamber is defintely overkill. I would rather they found another route.
Lets hope Piccolo gets some power up. That Namekian book of legends is a good option.

Piccolo needs and have to get a power up otherwise it would Be waste of time to bring him there only to have him job to one of the members of the u6 team.

That's what I'm expecting two (?) arcs from now. Blueper 2 for Uni 6 and blueper 3 if we make it past that to another story arc.

I don't find it especially exciting, but Toriyama's reluctance makes me think this is what we're in for (with ssjg being the counterpart to kaio-ken).

Well, we now have the information that Saiyans keep young until their eighties(lucky bastards). When Vegeta said that line in EoZ, I always imagined it being until their sixties. So I actually won twenty years of Goku and Vegeta.
I really hope they use that book! Besides the obvious power up possibilities, it was the opportunity to expand the Universe. Piccolo's death in the series and the use of the Namekians dragon balls gives me hope.

I still don't get on how they could be in three days in the Room of Spirit and Time if it has been stated that can only be entered for two days (or two years) at a time? Goku makes it sound like that he can only enter in their twice. I don't like using the Room of Spirit and Time since it feels lazy to make our heroes stronger to me. It's like "Hey in one day, I can become stronger with one year of training". Goku already use the ROSAT twice in the series and feels pushing it that he is using it again three more times.

Once the Champa arc begins in Super anime in January next year, will there be any point of the Super manga? I'll still check it out, but I can't help but feel that the Super manga became too redundant quickly.

Idk how they'll handle it but they might figure it out.

I'm curious if Toyotaro's RoSaT training and Saiyan aging antics were notes from Toriyama's outline. It actually fits really well with DBO's history and would help support Goku wanting to leave Earth. Those extra three years would push Goku to 60 and Vegeta to 74 by the time of AGE 801 (and there could be more). Vegeta's youth is quickly running out. Meaning he would not only lose his best training partner, but he would have to watch Vegeta start to deteriorate. Knowing that was going to eventually happen to him scared him shitless, pushing him into a midlife crisis that ends in a suicidal brawl.

I second this. Can easily see it happening.

I'm a big fan of the DBO ending for Gokû and Vegeta, so.

The pacing will still be faster and because of that manga can still be ahead, since the anime will flesh out everything better.
If even so the anime still surprasses the manga, the next chapter just must be set ahead of the anime again.

Its a promotional manga, doesn't need to show everything like an ordinary manga.

I think it depends on if we're doing another arc after Uni 6. If it's just a tournament and that's it then the manga's probably gonna slow down.

I don't think they would release a new manga and spend all that money on advertisement/ animation for it just to end at the universe 6 arc.

Its not just the tournament. Toriyama said they would go to Universe 6 to look for the Super Dragon Balls.
The tournament will not give the last Super Dragon Ball to the winner. That's the next plot.

It doesn't even take place in Universe 6 itself, but in the middle of both.

^ Theres also that portal looking thing they are going through in the Super Intro and they are back in their normal clothes, after Tournament Arc most likely.

You might be reading a bit too much into that one, no offense. The portal looking light thing is likely just meant to symbolize the 'land of the gods' or the 'power of the gods' (heck, isn't that scene right about the time lyrics about 'transcending the gods' pop up?), and they're in their original outfits there since that's the ones they're wearing when they first learn about this new plateau of power they're now aiming for.

That said though, I'd also be kind of surprised if the series ends after the Universe 6 arc. The series seems to be doing well enough for the most part, and Toriyama seems to enjoy writing new material that he doesn't actually have to fully flesh out or draw himself, so why stop? The only issue is that he might well end up having to either 'retcon' his manga ending, or finally move beyond it, neither of which I see him doing, so...it's kind of a potshot really.
