I'm willing to believe that they're the same character. It's not like they don't have similarities. I hope they aren't though. It'd be nice to have two females, and I prefer the original base design over the one shown here.

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.

I want it to be two saiyan women instead of just one with two different outfits, but I still think it's the same character.

If I have any complaints its the same-face going on with her and Cabba. Do all universe 6 saiyans have Gine's face?

If the king is like Vegeta, then hopefully not..

It would look cool on paper but I hope the casual fans dont start bashing DBS for having "too many powerful females fighters" and it becomes like the Star Wars fandom with the fans already bashing Rey for being shoved down their throats.

Fem Broly having the potential in reaching Blue level or more is already being foreshadowed.
Nah, simply let them have their rage attacks and move on, i always thought Pan had a Great potential and i always wanted more female warriors, saiyans or not, so I love this change! Will be great imo, and finally brings some variety in the show
Unpredictable things are the better ones
Maybe in the future we'll have something Bardak and Gine - related too

Some people just need to admit that they are sexist or racist. How many times do people say if you want female or other race characters then they should make new ones when an old character has it's gender or race changed (not saying anything is wrong with this feeling, I agree)? However, when new characters with different races or genders get made then its criticized for pandering to sjws. They can't win.

So... it that really Fem Broly's base design? I mean, if so, that's a really cool and cute design for her. And if not, then... hooray! More female Saiyans! :)

Agreed. I know Toriyama has only a set number of face types in his arsenal, and maybe he really likes drawing the Gine face because it's a newer/fresher type, but I don't want all the saiyans in Uni 6 to have the same face.

I'm hopeful the king at least has Vegeta's face or a different eye/eyebrow type than Cabba, Gine, and not!Brolli do. Toriyama did a great job on not!Brolli's hair; I think that looks really cool and I like it much better than the ponytail. (The ponytail makes her look more like Brolli, where without it she looks more like her own character.) I just hope when/if more saiyans are introduced that there's some variety in their facial features.

However, when new characters with different races or genders get made then its criticized for pandering to sjws. They can't win.

Best thing is we'll get some great moments, I have a feeling those new saiyan girls will do wonders at that tournament, is perfectly in Toriyama style
And regarding female characters, they previously, heavily foreshadowed a strong future role for Pan
Something similar to Multiverse or Online would be awesome imo
Also, thinking about the great variety of Super's cast, i remembered something related to Tien, Toriyama once said that his race can have godlike potential, but his powers were suppressed due to his evil starting nature
Maybe they'll awaken those God powers, giving him an insane power up? I could die for the happiness

At that point, If we'll got Trunks and Goten do something significant, Pan and Uub as prominent characters(heavily hinted, so will definitely happen) and Yamcha in some way relevant again, I'll declare Super as my favourite series of every Dragon Ball one

Perfection



P. S. Rey in Star Wars is fuckin' awesome imo

Generally when people say that diverse characters are "pandering to SJWs" I just ignore what they have to say. Those people aren't worth giving the time of day to.

Judging from translations, they are two different characters

Scan says that we saw another female saiyans in the preview, so is apparently stated they are two different ones

Damn, Cabba executed Champa's orders in a very good way :lol:

She does look a lot like FemBroly with her hair down, but it could be a case of sameface. Toriyama is bad about that. :lol: Interesting that they're being coy about which universe she's from and her name. Maybe she's the Yurin chick that shows up at Tien's doji in 89?

Edit: It's hard to tell because of the text, but it kind of looks like she's wearing hakama.

To be honest I would like a new saiyan girl apart from Brolyen, for some reason the first SS woman introduced in the franchise being a LSS is a bit strange for me...

I do want more variety on the faces trough, but I was also expecting King of Salad to be in the team (and I seriously doubt there would be four saiyans)

Can we spot her (or either, if they are two) in the silhouettes one of the episodes showed of the fighters? They could be twin sisters and one achieved Super Saiyajin because of Cabba nii-chan, the Prince.

This design doesn't appear in that shot, no.

Edit again: Just thought of something. The Saiyan from the opening has asymmetrical bangs. The hair over her left eye is a lot longer than the right:
[spoiler]Image[/spoiler]

That's the part left free from her ponytail. But this design has more or less symmetrical bangs. Curious.

Are you forgetting the multiple other times he's been an asshole, such as ignoring Piccolo after he offered to teach Goku the mafuba.
So Piccolo giving his match to Vegeta is OOC? How so?
Because Piccolo in Z would have never acted like such a pansy. He would have told Vegeta to fuck off with his stupid ass grudge.

Really love that new character design. Judging by the translation seems like they are saying she's another new saiyan besides the one shown in the Opening. Different people then.

Anyway 3 Saiyans is my limit. We don't need more.

Supposing they are indeed 2 different characters, then for U6 team we currently have: Botamo, Magetta, Frost, Cabba, 2 female saiyans and Hit. 3 missing.

Still hope Toriyama gives us a ruthless Namekian. Champa's knows them because he recognized Piccolo. Come on, Toriyama! You just have to pick a random Namekian and give him new clothes. It's that simple. :lol:

I wouldn't take Champa's line for granted. He also said the same thing for his tournament and then we just got Cabba.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

Goku didn't ignore him, he just left before Piccolo could say anything.

Since when has Piccolo ever been that assertive? He can't control kids, how is he supposed to control Vegeta? It was clear that Piccolo realized that this wasn't the place for him. He would've been crushed by the next challenger and he knew it.
