And you know, that's okay. I'm sure everyone reaches a point where they reassess their connection to Dragon Ball.

I don't wanna be salty every day. I'm becoming salty every day.

Awareness is half the battle.
I mean you seem to be aware. At this point it's time to forget it, because these kids server no purpose and honestly won't anymore. Sorry man. I enjoyed them too, but gotta know when to cut your losses.

They are the sons of Goku and Vegeta just because they aren't in this arc doesn't mean they will never be in the story again.

If you're in it for Goten and Trunks, I'd say since they're not in this arc to maybe take a break from watching Super and wait for the next arc to see if they'll be a part of the following arc's story.

It isn't a perfect comparison, but One Piece's crew has been split up for a long while now meaning fans of [spoiler]Zoro, Robin, Franky, and Ussop[/spoiler] have been out of luck since then, but we'll eventually meet up with them again.

I dunno, temporarily dropping and/or not making an immediate watch a priority is my plan should Gokû vanish for a while ala Z (seems unlikely at the moment but you never know).
On hiatus.

It took up to DLC 5 for Dabura to finally get into Xenoverse 2 despite being Mira's big brother.
Brother-In-Law, otherwise the Mira/Towa relationship just got a lot more weird... Then again, I was always assuming Mira was built as a sex-bot first, weapon second :D

I keep getting Mira and Towa's names mixed up. Mira just sounds like a female name to me.

Although for the record, this is the most negative forum I have seen for Kale and Cali. Most places I go to calls Cali boring, maybe a Mary Sue, and leaves it at that. I don't know what it is about her that turns this site into mountains of salt that they want to seek Freeza on her to 'teach her a lesson'.
I don't want Caulifla to get tortured to be taught a lesson. I just want to see Frieza do it as he enjoys torturing them and I find it quite funny. It is the same with Vegeta when he gets a beatdown, I don't care about him learning as I just enjoy him going nuts when things don't go his way.

Considering Mira's final form... Yeah, I would think he was the female as well.

Don't know why people think it's so bad that some expect characters like Caulifla and Ribrianne to be torturated in the ToP? I mean what the big deal anyway? In fact it would pretty fun :)

I don't want the fusion character to suffer cause of mediocre animation and direction. Also, Kale and Cauli romance should be confirmed by the show. That'd be really nice. I don't want to get my hopes up though. But, anyways #114 and #115 is definitely something to look forward to.
I am really surprised people enjoyed Ribrianne. I absolutely cannot stand that character. I'd tolerate Kale/Cauli dominating the tournament before another episode of "love love love" just holy moly, so terrible (in my opinion).

Freeza has indeed won people over, per the above. Everyone seems confident his schemes will succeed and he'll knockout the other Saiyans.
That is because we all of Different Fandoms and Different Tastes in what we like and enjoy. I for one LOVE the Magical Girl Genre of Anime and I Completely Get Ever Moment of Ribrianne and all those points that you and others say is Annoy, for a Fan like me I Love it! :lol:

That is just something Fans will have to Accept, we are ALL Different and want different Things from different characters, their is nothing wrong with that, it is just how we as fans work. What is Annoying to You can be Pure Joy to Someone else, Always Remeber that, nothing is Universal in Opinion! ;)

TO Swifticuffs ~~~ Indeed it is mainly cause of Ribrianne and Universe 2, but also growing too is Kale and Cauli, They are the ONLY ones that Brought ME BACK to Dragon Ball and They keep me going here! They are what I look forward to all the time, them and a few others but mostly them. This should be a note to many again that each character brings different fans to Dragon Ball, each services importance to helping the Fandom grow and each as their own fanbase regardless of all the debate and dislike, many characters bring fans to this franchise in their own unique ways. :thumbup:

Ok there are 3 of you with mountains of comments from each, I wont dare plan to keep this up, way too time consuming, ya'll know how long this took me to put!? give me back my wasted time talking with strangers on the net! by the off chance that you think I'm really pissed... I'm not, I'm just playin with you 3 :lol:
HeroR wrote: Cali is an unoffensive character, while Vegeta was just terrible since his entire purpose was padding the plot for the Cell and Buu Saga. That is different than 'I personally hate this character'. Vegeta was bad because he was a plot device created to keep the story going where it could have naturally ended like Semi-Perfect Cell being defeated, Gohan killing Super Perfect Cell without a disabled arm, and the entire Majin Buu Saga.

And her gig is not 'doing it for her' to a certain group of people like you who are very vocal. Since she has a fanbases that likes her, a fairly large one too given her sells, then she must be doing something right, otherwise she would be GT Pan.
Fair enough, but I still say she needs development just as any new character does, I'm normally not this vocal when it comes to disliking a character, she is by far the first and I've watched quite the list of anime and tv series.
Simere wrote: Stop trying to speak for the majority. I don't know exactly what you yourself expect a torture session to do for Caulifla's character, but I've seen other people who have this idea that it will make her know her place, be more humble, be less cocky.
True, the majority already spoke for itself :lol: as for me while a good ol torture would be just as good but something similar to what Cabba got would be fine with me.
That's not going to happen. Her attitude isn't based on a perception that she's #1; she already knows that she's not that.
And you're sure of this how? because from what I saw thats not how she came off at all.
It's like you don't realize people ranting on forums and Youtube aren't necessarily representative of the whole fandom.
They still represent a part of the fandom which is good enough, we can never gauge it to a complete degree so stop trying to make it sound like I'm being literal, you and I both know thats not my main point.
Kinokima wrote: Again Vegeta and Cauli are not the same. Then again I see a lot of people saying Cell Saga Vegeta and Vegeta in this arc are the same. Arrogance may be a character flaw but it is not the absolute worst thing either that a character always needs to be brought down a peg for it.

Vegeta's problem in the cell arc wasn't just that he was prideful it's that he let his pride be more important than anything else.
Do they need to be the same for Cauli to earn a character development for herself?
I am sure she will eventually lose but why does she need to be humiliated and tortured. I don't get you.
Thats normally the breaking point that makes you start liking the character for some people including me, you even viewed Vegeta's beatdown against Freeza as a character development for him, so why does it change when it comes to Cauli being the one getting a close treatment? I'm not saying it has to be the same, but this is a shonen thing, a clean or brutal ass whooping is normal in this genre, its kind of a way to connect to the fans, you connected with Vegeta after he got owned by Freeza didnt you? its not fun for some yes, but it can make you connect to the character.
No one is a horrible character. Every character has their fans and detractors. I don't mind Cauli one way or the other. I find the extreme hatred of her by some fans disconcerting though.
Characters being horrible is subjective tho, which is why a lot of fans dislikes her or as you say, some even hates her with passion.

So you wouldn't mind if Freeza did to the U6 Namekians to remember Namek? It is fun, after all.

Caulifla hate aside...

I can totally see Freeza getting rid of the girls after the fusion will be over... I doubt it will be 30 minutes for them because of Beserker mode.

And Freeza out of U7 is the evil guy so him being responsible of erasing their friends of U6 would be fitting... Hell Beerus may be even mad just for Whis to point out that Freeza is just doing his job... Unlike Goku and Vegeta...

Holy shit Goku already spent more time interacting with the girls than with Goten...

Frieza doesn't hate the Namekians though and knowing that he is having a great time doing to the Saiyans makes the scenes better.

Since Caulifla and Kale are supposedly fusing, hopefully this means we will get a Gogeta in Super as well.

I'd definitely like to see UI Gogeta fighting Jiren. While I know that might not happen since we know Goku will fight Jiren again, but as a Vegeta fan I'd like for them to fuse so Vegeta can steal the UI info from Goku :lol:

You know, now I just want Frieza to act buddy buddy with Vegeta just so he can loudly brag about all the innocents Vegeta slaughtered under Frieza's command. With Frieza tlking about it like he was showing people Vegeta's baby pictures.

Cabba: WHAT THE FUCK, MASTER!?

Oh yes he does, he just happens to hate Saiyans more since it was a Saiyan that humiliated him. To him, it was the Namekians that screwed his chances of living forever.

And I'm sure he will also have a great time with the Namekians too. I mean, he will get to see how many arms he can pull without killing them.

That would be awesome.

Freeza: This is little Vegeta's first purge. You can even see him eating the inhabitants.

Hell, getting humiliated by Frieza isn't even what makes Vegeta change, its Goku dying at the end of the Cell saga. And even then he already falls back on doing the same fucking thing that got him humiliated the last two times when Goku comes back to life, except this time he realises that no; the third time isn't a charm.

Well I think it was a number of things that developed Vegeta not just one instance and his development happened across the entire span of DBZ

But certainly saying the only way to develop Caulifla is to have her brought down a peg, tortured and humiliated makes absolutely no sense to me. She a new character. I don't even expect her to be completely developed at the end of this arc.

I don't agree well I do if you meant into a good person. But his character development started from the moment he was defeated in the Saiyan saga. I think getting defeated several times was an important to Vegeta's character development because it was what began to reshape the world view he was born with.

I don't think this same type of development would be useful for Caulifla because they are completely different types of characters so from your posts I would say we agree.
