This is why I loved Goku and Trunks' SSJ forms, their hair style goes up and crazy unlike Vegeta's and Gohan's, tho Gohan's teen SSJ2 had a change but they later made it his hairstyle even in base form....

Exactly! I especially love Trunks SS hair style! Yeah the Gohan thing was annoying and we wouldn't have gotten such debates like was Gohan SS2 vs Dabura. Vegeta is just the worst offender, even in SS2 Goku has those bangs sticking out the side to easily differentiate him in that form (something I actually did not notice until a few months ago believe it nor not haha I went back and it was like that in Z too!).

I wonder who will be more popular Kale or Cauli ? ! right now Cauli looks more appreciated due to her confidence and personality she's also cute AF but Kale caught my attention i feel like she's going to play a bigger role than Cauli,the green hair girl from NEP looks cool too i really like how we're getting 3 new girls fighting in the tournament.

Shy or quiet girls tend to be more popular especially among the Japanese audience, because they have that "meek and docile" vibe to them. Anime weeabo's always go for sweet/quiet/innocent/shy girls over the more tomboyish/headstrong ones.

Right now Cauli is the one I like more; she's confident and energetic and that's more my speed. Kale needs to break out of that shadow of Brolli that's hanging over her to get my interest. Docile characters are boring to me in fiction (it's why I've been disappointed in Vegeta for most of this arc so far).

I know there were rumours a few weeks ago but officially confirmed now Germany getting DBS!
After the successful TV launch of the series in Southern Europe, we are happy to announce that Dragon Ball Super will soon be coming to Germany on free-to-air channel ProSieben Maxx.
The previous Dragon Ball Z Kai series has already been airing on the channel since November 2015 to great ratings.

So happy for the German fans! You guys can rejoice now!

Kale tbh, her shy personality screams Hinata to me.

Though I wonder they will unlock SSJ.

Caulifla might have daddy issues, which is why she is a delinquent.

In Kales case, probably hate toward Cabba(thats what her profile said, right?).

Not really, tsundere's 99% wins for a reason, this is why Chitoge,Yukinoshita,Shana,Taiga,Haruhi,Mikasa and a lot more are more popular than their quiet competition female character.

I hope Cauli gets more attention, gut feeling says Kale tho.... I like how Cauli is a badass genius leader of a gang/yakuza setup and how tomboyish she is.

The visual gag of moe Vegeta is something that used to be hilarious to me up through BOG, but it's been played so much in Super that it's gone from funny to uneasy laughter for me now since it's in the ballpark of something that could become an actual character trait.

Tsundere Vegeta's still my preference. *Rescues Gokû, then proceeds to exclaim that he only saved him not because he cares, but because only the prince of all saiyans is allowed to defeat him.*

But yeah, between the two new saiyan girls (women? Are they adults? We never found out Cabba's age either.) Caulifla all the way. :mrgreen:
I want to see more of her backstory and what she and her gang does on a daily basis. Is she Kale's sister? I'm also hoping that somewhere in her gang she's got a Yusuke or a Josuke or an Okuyasu type in there somewhere. Someone she can friendly banter back and forth with (since Kale's so quiet and Cabba's...Cabba.)

Yeah, and it's annoying after a while, an extreme example is zero no tsukaima, even freaking louise is defended and praised by many and people give siesta crap, I can't even..
People often have a crazy obsession over tsunderes more so than Moe ones

P.S. One anime where it dosen't happen ( which is also good! ) Is Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai, one of the best ones out there :)

They are probably teenager-ish , renso looked old enough so it's not like they don't age, guess they stay in teenage body for long like goten and trunks stay in child bodies for a long time?

We need now a visual gag of Bishie Vegeta(if Toei has the gag of Helles falling in love with Vegeta after her comments of finding Goku "beautiful") :D

According to Herms translating the latest VJump preview, it says that Kale is Cauliflas underling.

I could see the relationship of Kale/Caulifla to be similar to Historia/Ymir.

Hayate No Gotoku and Strike The Blood are another example of this, you sometimes get this feeling that whenever a tsundere pops out you get this mentality of "ah.. so she's end girl"
I'm more of a Henrietta fan, Sistine is a close 2nd, I hate the norm of where the MC gets shit and hit for no good reason because they think its funny, Chichi and Bulma are both getting there, the only thing thats making it not as stupid is because we all know their hits to Goku and Vegeta doesnt really hurt :lol: Videl is a good example of a good strong willed tomboyish girl that I see in Cauli.

I liked Buu arc Videl and I see some of her personality in Cauli only with that gang leader angle to her instead of fighting crime.

Helles' bishie-vision has fun potential.

Henrietta dosen't top for me because of how she decides to go after mc after her love death and all the drama, not really a big fan of such characters :P
Remove that and her royal ass tops it, literally :wink:

Yeah I know that feeling alright :lol: then you continue wishing it dosen't happen every episode but it does anyway..

Videl seems like the short haired girl who teases the mc but ultimately falls for him and becomes docile with only some traces of teasing remaining..
A good example will be Chihiro Kosaka from Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai

I liked Videls twin tail look, she is probably one of the few girls that could rock the twin tail look properly.

I hope none of saiyan girls get a haircut, they dont need it.

I was checking Herms twitter and in that color spread that has Team U7, they were hyping Gohan potential being bigger than Gokus.

Does anyone think Gohan will end up the strongest Z fighter after ToP? IIRC Toriyama said Gohan was the strongest nonfused character by EoZ.

I think it depends on how much of the recent love sent Gohan's way is from Toei vs how much of it is from Toriyama. I'm gonna wait for the manga counterpart before I'm able to say for sure which. If Team Leader Gohan and resurgence of Ultimate and possibly beyond is Toriyama, then yes. If it's mostly from Toei I'd say no.

But Toyotaro said that him and Toei do their own thing and it shows when you see in the manga being Goku time and Trunks being reduced as another Sakura/Orihime, while in the anime Trunks fought in the climax, while not making sense it looked cool his fight vs Zamasu.

I wish Naho Ooshi were part of the DBS team, she would do good as an assistant.
