I thought it was explained in Dragon Ball that Piccolo was just so evil it made him a demon. Something about his evilness making his victim's restless spirits or something
I remember that restless spirit bit too and just dismissed it as superstition. But I guess it's not.

BTW I have no doubts that Vegeta will break out of th pot like does with RoSaT
Goku is busy with Ribrianne and there is something wrong with Vegeta probably.

Not only is Gohan gonna fight the Yadrat but Frost and freeza? At the same fucking time? If Freeza dosen't eliminate the Yadrat himself first that is
Now that's what being a badass is about, facing overwhelming odds without fear..
Even if he goes down, he will go down in style..

I think Kami was the one who said it, so I'd say it isn't superstition. I'd buy it, let's not forget that King Piccolo is LITERALLY all the evil of the Nameless Namekian split into one being.

I don't really see all 3 of Goku, Vegeta and Gohan being in by the time episode 110 ends.

Now I assume Piccolo is occupied and can't help Gohan in episode 108.

Vegeta seems to have been sealed off, he might just be out and they aren't saying it out loud, tien's elimination wasn't even touched at..
Given the situation, it's also very likely Gohan's gonna be out because of the backstabbing..
If it was just Freeza there was a chance, but there's frost and possibly the Yadrat as well..

I so want badass Gohan back, that look when he got the SS2 and when he fought super Boo. I doubt we'll get him, even the odds, we are having the insecure kind for now.

Oh god no, Badass Gohan is the worst Gohan for me, he's just a emotionless bland powerhouse trying too hard to be cool.

Dammit - so much stuff about the next episode have been spoiled to us.

Fuck this. I'm leaving the boards until the Tournament is over. I'm not doing the mistake I did 15 years ago and spoiling myself to the entire series.

Glad I am not the only one. 'Badass Gohan' is about as interesting as wallpaper. At least Super Saiyan 2 Gohan had the benefit of being partly sociopathic. Ultimate Badass Gohan is just boring and I'm glad Buu ate him.

I would rather watched Vegeta.

That was just Freeza paying Gohan back for the gut punch in Fusion Reborn.

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

Oh, I like him so much, he is not pretending, he is just cool. But it should appear for some reason now, not just like Lunch changing personality for coughing. It's hard, because he only was that way when he was the strongest and I don't see him getting to the top again. Maybe not that same badass traits, but I want to see a Gohan secure about himself. If that image of him and Goku in the ending song meant something, it would be great.

We never got a magazine listing for episode 106 and only one of those preview cards a week before which had Tien on it.

We know all 8 from Universe 6 and 7 are there in episode 109 and it would seem like this stuff is continuing into episode 109 so the special is probably going to end up being crazy.

But seeing how Toyataro made the Black Arc the Vegeta Exposition arc, I'm sure he'll be the star of the tournament that everyone is impressed by, when the manga rolls around.

Toyataro really does write like a fan first and an author second.
I don't think this is the win fans were hoping for. It's kind of a 2 in 1 where he loses early but also wins.

If Vegeta being sealed is Toriyama's main plot point then the manga will surely cover it but it'll most likely take a different road to get there.

If it makes Vegeta look good then I'm all for it. :mrgreen: Isn't that what Toei did with Trunks ?

We don't know that and I highly doubt it. Roshi is so screwed using the Mafuba again and that's on 108. Universe six doesn't have everyone secure either, I would keep an eye on Magetta.

If Gohan is like he was when he fought Obuni, then that would be Bad ass enough for me. I've always been into Dork Gohan anyway.

But if he has to deal with Freeza and Frost then things will probably get pretty intense regardless. Though I can't exactly see him winning that, so someone will probably jump in to help him. Luckily he has Piccolo on a leash so he is always near by.

I'm also pretty excited to see Roshi vs Magetta. Always up for more Magetta.

Gohan VS Lavender was the best fight Gohan's ever had, making Gohan look good without taking away personality or making him bland.

Though, the worst thing about this tournament as a whole is: Gohan isn't in Great Saiyaman Gear. I really hoped the Great Saiyaman two parter was foreshadowing for him embracing that persona for the tournament...

You know what Gohan i want?A Gohan that pays the consequences for his actions,we only had that once and that was in the Buu saga and he still had a 2nd chance which he screwed up again.
No Piccolo taking a hit or dying for him again like in the previous episode/rof/saiyan saga.
No Goku or Trunks dying because of his own mistakes like in the cell saga.
No second chance like in the cell and buu saga,the others make one mistake and thats it for them.

Just let him suffer for his own mistakes instead of the others suffering for them or taking the blow for him.
