I don't know if anyone noticed it yet.But this line in chapter 8 kinda contradicts the revelation of Frost being evil.
frost isn't "EVIL"
He is a businessman-politician
Not seeing the difference.

And if manipulating civilizations into benefiting your own war profiteering scheme isn't evil, then what is?

Frost is definitely evil. He's manipulating the Saiyans the same way Freeza did in U7. Only difference is the Saiyans in U6 are good so it seems Frost played the nice guy to get them to help, started a war and hired the Sayians to clean up the mess.

It's not the same situation at all, for all we know they just fought together once.

So the next chapter should be leaked by wednesday as the chapter officially comes out the 19th and at the latest is leaked three days before. I am sure it will cover rest of the goku fight, episode 34, 35 and more(maybe all of 36) because if it does not them the manga will be about 4 episodes behind by the time chapter 11 comes out and then it can'tareally call itself promotional material.

It can be called promotional material because it promotes the anime. Doesn't matter if it's behind.

It does it will lose a lot of weight and use as its just as pointless as having a trailer for a movie or video game 6 weeks after its come out, it does not really help. It needs to be used to hype people up.

They are going to release the manga too. So it can also act like its own thing. I love toyotaro's art and what he is doing with toriyama's story, that guy is very talented. I rather pay for the manga than Super Blu ray's to be honest.

But that's literally what movie and game companies do: they're called "commercials" and they continue to sell people on the product to extend its shelf life.

Folks, I know that the Dragon Ball Super manga is a totally different beast than anything we've ever had for the franchise (the same base story, told in slightly different ways, illustrated by someone who's not the original author, etc.)... but that's precisely why the parallels and claims of "failure" need to just stop. You're trying to put a square peg into a round hole. It doesn't work that way this time.

How did you feel about the original anime? It was nothing more than a promotion of the manga, with some differences.

I think next chapter tops at the start of Vegeta vs Magetta, taking into account the current pacing.

I think some people don't understand that there may be a kid out there who purchases V-Jump and ends up seeing the manga and eventually searching for more and turning to the anime and merch/toys. That's how a lot of DB Fans found out about DB at a young age, - through a magazine or book whether it be Manga or a video game magazine. I discovered it through Budokai 1 which also was great promotion for the anime on the video game side of things.

There was a different translation where Piccolo's quote is that Frost doesn't feel "violent". Does anyone know the Japanese original?

When the Korean version came out, my Korean friend told me that Piccolo says he doesn't feel an evil aura (not directly that he doesn't feel evil, but his aura) from Frost. Frost has been playing the good card presumably for a long time in Uni6. He probably found a way to manipulate his aura or something. It isn't too farfetched tbh.

That seems to be the case. I mean, if you train yourself to have a good mindset intentionally, then you are able to manipulate your aura too

I'm partly hoping the manga does jump ahead because I want to see what comes after the tournament.

Yeah.For them to catch up.Next chapter should have Hit vs. Monaka already because we're already going to get that fight in the anime around next month.
