The conservation is awesome.
Now I know why I'm not that big... haven't struggled enough

Not much new here, but interesting to note is that Kuririn is still considered as the strongest Earthling, much like the promotional materials for Battle of Gods and Resurrection F. And looks like he and Goku will train together.

tien isn't technically an earthling though?

if you consider anyone born on earth as one that would include gohan and the other saiyans.

[Khin]

He's an Earthling, just a descendant of an alien race, the same guidebook (Daizenshuu 4) that says he's a descendant of an alien race also classified him as an Earthling.

But he wouldn't know when Buu would be reborn. Toriyama described the rebirthing process being quick for Buu since he was so evil, while a being like Freeza has yet to be reborn. So Vegeta is at best guessing Uub's age since he wouldn't know that Buu was reborn almost as soon as he died.

I agree he wouldn't know that but the thing is, IF the timeline is earlier than we think, then Oob should have been around 2 years old by then, which "just been born" could arguably fit. In this case, he wouldn't need to know when Oob was actually born since it wouldn't have been long since they had fought Boo. If they were in Age 779/780 though, there's a timeframe of around 5 years so he couldn't say that. He still did, so either he or the writer think Boo was fought not long ago.

In either case, Oob wouldn't be eligible to participate in the tournament.

Every one is given Wonderful descriptions, and what does Gohan's say, oh he is Goku's son.... yeaa?
Together with Yamcha getting spotlight in his own episode because he won't be fighting in the tournament and gohan getting his own villan to beat before the tournament has me pretty much confirmed he is gonna lose really really fast in the survival arc..

I know its kinda jumping to conclusions here, but that's what my gut says, Gohan's gonna job fast..
I ain't getting my hopes up

Or, the writers are just telling us that Uub still exists and Goku is waiting for him even in the Champa Saga. Again, Vegeta would have no idea how old Uub was since for him to correctly guess his age, he had to assumed that Buu was reborn as soon as he died, which he has no way of assuming since even an evil jerk like Freeza is still in Hell and died almost two decades before his revival.

It's bullshit that krillin is still stronger. He hasn't trained during the cell saga and tien has continuously gotten stronger. Is Gohan the only one that's affected by lack of training ffs?

[Legion]

11 universes will be destroyed thanks to Goku, basically lol

Lest be real, if Gohan was in top shape and kept training, freeza wouldn't look that impressive

[namekiansaiyan]

To me Tien is stonger no matter what until they can show evidence otherwise.

Also so if Goku is training with Krillin what are the rest going to do.

[kinisking]

The good / bad thing about this is that vegeta was listed as goku's eternal rival. If it wasnt obvious before, vegeta isn't getting replaced by hit or anyone else as rival.

There is a different between not studying martial arts anymore and not training. As someone who have been going to martial arts classes for several years now, I know several retired marital artists who still keep themselves in shape even though they don't do hardcore training anymore or do other stuff like police work.

Gohan doesn't even keep himself in shape. He just stopped cold turkey. If Gohan just did light training every morning, he probably wouldn't degrade the way he did.

The good / bad thing about this is that vegeta was listed as goku's eternal rival. If it wasnt obvious before, vegeta isn't getting replaced by hit or anyone else as rival.

To Vegeta, Goku is his eternal rival. Doesn't mean the feeling is mutual on Goku's end, especially since Hit isn't mentioned. Krillin was called Goku's rival when they first met and it was literally all on Krillin's end. Goku didn't care.

What's with this assumption that Tenshinhan has gotten stronger?

Tien always train, which means he must be stronger than Krillin by now since doesn't train. Just like Tien is stronger than Goten and Trunks since they don't really train either…

Fans also think that if you retired from fighting, you automatically stop training, despite several real world marital artists who keep themselves in great shape long after they retired. Unlike Gohan, Krillin and Yamcha have been martial artists their entire lives, with Krillin growing up in a martial arts temple. Nothing is shown that Krillin spends his days just looking at his desktop, while Gohan is explicitly said to have ignored his body for several years at a time.

[Grimlock]

Yet another statement saying Kuririn is the strongest. Cool. But not for long, bring Uub to receive his rightful title!

Tien consistently trains, even if he's not getting huge gains he should be improving. If what happened to Gohan applied to krillin, krillin would have like a 20k power level at most at this point.

[Baggie_Saiyan]

Krillin rage boost confirmed! But seriously that was a very interesting read! Seems promising but after the shit show that was the U6 arc I'm keeping expectations mild.

[Chuquita]

Relieved Vegeta isn't being replaced as Gokû's "eternal rival". Partly thought he was going to be the way episodes 75 - 77 were going.
