To each his own, of course, but that logo looks awful to me. The text is too basic and there's nothing that stands out or screams "Dragon Ball" in it (not even the colors).

What do you mean the colors? You'll need to be specific. Red and yellow have always been the colors of Dragon Ball.

The shades look a tad off, but not a whole lot. Maybe it's just the rest of the logo that interferes. Regardless, though, I love the image itself.

That's not exactly true. Dragon Ball has featured possibly hundreds of title variants with differing colors. It feels as if a new logo is created every week, if I'm to exaggerate. Red and yellow may be consistent, but it's far from the absolute identity of its advertising. The manga would disprove that assessment all on its own!

Even though they're mostly all shitty photoshops, I love these pictures of the characters in soccer jerseys. The idea of Piccolo going to a River Plate game or all the Z fighters repping América is hilarious to me.

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke
Herms wrote:The fact that the ridiculous power inflation is presented so earnestly makes me just roll my eyes and snicker. Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

"replaced?" No. Gohan doesn't want to fight but when things go wrong he feels annoyed for being helpless. All Toei has to do is make him train again, but they'd rather keep focus on Goku and Vegeta

My point still stands, the mainstream timeline of Gohan would only get cocky if he has the advantage against any significant villain (with the exception of the Cell Juniors and the Galaxy Soldiers), but the other two incarnations of Gohan won't make that same mistake against anyone.

An amusing little comic found on Pixiv

Image

Pretty sure this one is simple enough to understand without the dialogue, but a basic rundown:
Cabba tells his "master" (Vegeta) to look at his new transformation. He did some training with Hit, and he transformed into a new form, which he calls Super Saiyan Purple!
And Gohan's not slacking off, either! He gained the new form of Super Saiyan Green by training with Piccolo! (Piccolo has no memory of this)
But Gokuu has gone above and beyond, achieving Super Saiyan Clear! ("You're just bald! We don't need any more bald characters!")
In the end, it was all Vegeta's dream/nightmare :P

Based on the size and purple hair, I'd guess it supposed to be Trunks rather than Bulma. I mean, it's not that unusual for kids to crawl into bed with their parents, either if they got scared from a nightmare or just felt lonely or something. As long as Vegeta wasn't actively trying to get some from Bulma that night, he probably doesn't mind :P
