"Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread

Nah, his name is meant to play off of cabbage, a vegetable, just like all the other saiyans. Champa said he needed a saiyan on his team, so we're pretty sure that's him. I'm curious where his tail is, though.

Ahh, I think you're right. I just looked up his name and it's rumored to be Kyabe (キャベ), which people suggest is probably short for kyabeji (キャベジ) (cabbage).

[Chuquita]

Nappa was also based on cabbage, wasn't he?

If this is the name pun, I wonder if they'll go for "Kabe" or "Kyabe".

I was using Table until the official name was decided as Tarble.

Lasy month, chapter 7 leaked in 15th. I got surpised how it came out so early.
Feels like chapter 8 is taking forever. I'm just that anxious.

Welp, blame the new characters.

You shouldn't have been. It was pretty much on target. V-Jump released early, on the 19th, last month. Once that was made known, it was expected to leak on the 16th.

I'm lazy so I'm betting on "Cabba".

That sounds like the noise a bird would make.

[Chuquita]

I'm just going with "Kabe" for now if the rumoured names are true.

If they are true and get officiated with another spelling I'll switch.

[DI297]

I'm hoping once Kabe(new saiyan from universe 6) reveals his backstory about his saiyan race, they'll give us more flashbacks to Planet Vegeta. Like what's the deal with the original super saiyan god?

What if Kabe is not a Saiyan? I mean, that's just a Freeza uniform, right? ... not a Saiyan uniform?

I thought I was the only one wondering about the tail, I mean Goku, Vegeta and gohan cut theirs to stop turning ozaru so they dont hurt the others but if u6 saiyans still got their planet they shouldnt worry about that

Unless Champa nuked it instead of relegating that task to someone else, like Beerus did with Freeza. There's really no telling. Maybe they'll throw a curveball and Saiyans in U6 are in fact the Frost Demons who've been oppressed by the monkey-tailed rulers of the galaxy.

[Xeztin]

I know this is a long shot but could the tail just simply be wrapped around his waist hidden under his gear or something? Then again he may not be a full blooded Saiyan, and Champa chose him because he was a human/Saiyan hybrid and was the strongest like Gohan had the potential to be. He may have not been born with a tail if that was the case like Goten/Trunks because the tail is a recessive gene. He could be the last human alive if that's the case and on the other hand the Sayains still live.

Does this confirm the names of the contestants?

It does indeed. The names from back at Jump Festa turned out to be real.

[Lionel]

I didn't realise until now how much Hit's chrome dome of a head sticks out.

Something to consider -- Champa witnessed Goku and Vegeta training when they were encumbered by weight suits and using only their basic strength. It's possible this could have an influence over the strengths of these fighters. Do you notice how Frost resembles Freeza in his first form? Certain fans theorise that he might be a universal variation of the Freeza whom we know. From the bits and pieces we've received of U6's character strength in Vados and Champa, they appear to be generally equal to Whis and Beerus. If this attribute holds true for Frost then he should be approximately the same in strength to Freeza in his first form. Gohan was helpless to do anything against him; he happens to be training with Piccolo. See the connection? I'm beginning to suspect this Frost might be Piccolo's benchmark. Surpassing Freeza's most suppressed state would place him above Tagoma and SSJ Gohan from the Freeza arc. It also happens to be a far more leveled expectation of him than skyrocketing up to Goku and Vegeta's level for nondescript reasons.

[Khin]

So the names are indeed real ? Still dissapointed by the name Frost tho.I think it's far too common,literally the first name that come to my mind when i created a Freeza race character on Xenoverse

[TheDevilsCorpse]

Just noting: Toei's spellings in the URLs for the characters are Hit, Frost, Botamo, Magetta and Kyabe.

To be fair though, they also use Bills and Wiss...

EDIT: They use Monaca on the icon, but Monaka on the source image.

I like the Kabe spelling better, but I'll use Kyabe if that's what they're going with.

Also, Yugioh VJump spoilers are out, so we could see manga spoilers for Super today possibly.

Wouldn't "Hito" be more accurate due to the way the word hit is pronounced in japanese?

[TheDevilsCorpse]

It's just like with Kakarotto/Kakarot. You can spell it Hitto, but in this case, the "to" is extra from the way Japanese works with spelling the English word.

Unlike Kakarotto (because of the Vegetto consistency problem), there's no need to worry about keeping the extra "to".

The 2ch thread http://itest.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/anime/1453016306/ is talking possible spoilers, but no source to back it up unfortunately.

It's saying though (this may be false) :

Spoiler:

Kyabe is a kind/nice kid.
Buu fails the writing test, but no substitute is brought in. The fighting order is determined by rock paper scissors.
The order is Gokû, Piccolo, Vegeta, Monaca.
Team Champa's order is unknown, but Botamo goes first.

I hope this isn't true because of the Buu thing.
