Has anyones interest in this arc been cut in half? I was already disturbed by the team choices and Roshi somehow gaining enough power to enter, but Buu being absent and Freeza joining kills it for me.

And the Yamcha jokes now just look mean spirited instead of "we're laughing with him" type thing.

The current arc takes place 43 years after Goku was born. He has spent ~8 years dead(so subtract 8 years) and 4 years in the RoSaT(so add 4 years).
Thus his physical age is ~39.

According to Toriyama, they rapidly become frail after reaching a certain age (probably 80 years old).
The Truth About the Dragon Ball Manga - Toriyama Thought of It Like This Special, Part 2 wrote: Do Saiyans stay forever young?
Saiyans are a warrior race, so their aging slows once they reach an age suitable for fighting, and they maintain great strength for a long time. However, their lifespan is not much different from Earthlings’, and when they reach a certain age, they rapidly grow frail.
Vegeta was born on Age 732, so currently - assuming we’re on Age 780 - he should be 48 years old (physically 53 and a half in the anime, while 54 in the manga).

Because of his abuse of the ROSAT, yes.

Maybe the interest for Team U7, I'm actually looking forward to Team U6, its shaping up great with the inclusion of Caulifla and Kale(once she unlocks LSSJ), there are 3 spots left, hopefully we get some Namekians.

I wonder if Gowasu and Ramushu will talk about Black and revive him, Gowasu knows Black was strong enough to overwhelm Goku and Vegeta, and with whats on stake.... :think:

Won't all extra members just be Caulifla's gang? It didn't seem like he was after Kale specifically at all, but if she's joining it sounds like the other members would be going too. Champa also asked for many Saiyans.

Cabba was only interested in recruiting Caulifla
Those thugs are scrubs, Cabba knocked one of them by just using his SSJ aura(DBZ style).

Obviously he wasnt interesting Kale for now, he will change his mind once she unlocks LSSJ, I hope they name it SSJ Ikari(related to Trunks transformation), so Trunks powerup wasnt completely BS at all.

The main thing is Should Toei show Kale unlock LSSJ before the tournament starts or during the tournament?

The two forms are different looking, and Ikari is from intense rage while Kale's is apparently from pent up stress.

Kale already knows LSSJ probably. What, she just gonna have a lame power up scene? I doubt it'll be animated the way old Toei did Broly's transformation. That shit was too epically beautiful. It'll probably last 2/3 frames and that'll be it. xD

That is not happening. 6 Saiyans is not happening under any circumstances.

First time transformations always have some time dedicated to them in Super.

I'm surprised Vegeta wasnt able to go LSSJ if all you need is stress, I mean wasnt his stress in all time high after finding out Goku turned into a SSJ and then later finding out Future Trunks could also transform.

If It rivals this, I'll take back what I said.

The form is probably exclusive to Kale, like how LSSJ was exclusive to Broly. Probably some genetic thing or some shit.

He's only interested in recruiting Caulifla in the previous episode, but apparently he'll also train Kale into unlocking SSJ, if we go by the previous description in the site's code. This means he'll be training more Saiyans aside from just Caulifla. It'd be a pretty boring team though, if we get 5 slots taken by that Saiyan gang, but at this point I think it's possible.

The movie budget for the film also helped Brolys transformation look like that. I don't think Super has that kind of scratch. So I wouldn't expect it to look like that even if they had wanted to make it a 1:1 copy.

Also are we still calling the form "LSSJ"? It might just be regular ass Super Saiyan. Or another new SSJ form altogether. Super Saiyan Muscles!

14-15 year gap.
That's a larger gap than I thought. :shock:
They were born 5 years apart. To think it's almost triple that now.
