Broly. Why? They literally have a plethora of chars from this arc alone to pick from including Ms. Homage gone wrong AKA Kale but still OG Broly... And in November he gets another figure under the DBS brand... Sigh.

It feels like Broly has been the 3rd most marketed character since DBS started after Goku and Vegeta... And some people think he's only a problem in the west...
That's a strawman. Of course characters that've been introduced only a few months ago aren't going to replace icons that have been around for decades.
Feels over Reals.

For Goku & Vegeta agreed but Broly hasn't been relevant in a long time and wouldnt call him an icon but my main point is I still see people still like to blame the west for Broly's popularity. He's popular period for some reason.

Probably because they didnt expect Caulifla to become popular, Kale became popular but not to the level they were expecting imo.

I dont think these writers are clever enough to have he femsayains learn it from universe 6 metamorians. Either they'll randomly fuse ot Goku'll teach them.

Toriyama was playing DB Fusions and thought Karoly was cool and he had to do a canon and r63 version of him, I'm sure that's why Kefla is a thing now.

Well we know Zen-Oh's let items slide befor as long as their not weapons or healing items. Maybe Champa will force Fuwa to throw his earrings to them.

True, like how Helles, and Kakunza were helping Brianne to powerup from the stands.

Would be funny (and could fit Dragon Ball) if the fusion of the girls is topless and they tell Goku, who is indifferent, to lend them his blue shirt. This could be a funny little gag but I can't see it happening.

So what are the bets on the new Super Warrior. Will she....

A) Change the balance of power in the ToP.

B) Give a good showing but then defuse.

C) All talk before a stunning display of stupidity.

D) Beaten by Goku and Co.

E) Beaten by another warrior in the ToP.

F) Curbstomped by Jiren.

My G simply clarifies their reason of existence further.. :)
It also takes into consideration real world time, I don't normally do this but I would seriously rather clean those dishes pushed under the sink for ages than give entire half an hour of my day to this shit..

Then after Kale and Caulifla are knocked out the earrings can be thrown to the Namekians so they can fuse. :thumbup:

Dude Trunks ain't Dragonball's symbol of hope anymore, it's you..

The ways you come up with to make the namekians matter more is absurd, it's quiet amazing too really :D
