No one man should have all that Psycho-Power.


That guy wants justice for Vegeta but vegeta is where he needs to be. A slightly higher profile Tien.

I've heard a lot of people talk about how they want to see spin off series set in the other universes.

Are spin offs much of a thing in Japan and anime? Not direct sequels I mean a Better Call Saul or Frasier-esque expansion of some secondary character or element that was popular in the original series into its own thing.

There's a lot more of the one-offs like the Jaco manga, but some quick googling turns up Akagi and Scientific Railgun.

Also literally the Yugioh card game. :toot:

It only just occurred to me but 17 not wanting to let opponents transform might go back to what happened back during the Cell saga. It's kinda morbidly ironic in a way.

I think 18 would care more about that considering the stupid poo poo Vegeta pulled.

That's an extremely good point, I wonder if the writers even considered this? In the translation I saw, they didn't hint at that, it was more like 17 saying "they were totally open, why wouldn't I attack?"

But yeah, 17 having some transformation PTSD or at least some awareness of how dangerous it can be makes perfect sense.

Has anyone attacked in the middle of a transformation or powering up before? Like I guess the attempts to stop Cell from becoming perfect count maybe but I can't think of any other instance where it's happened.

Vegeta punched the poo poo out of Gohan when he was transforming into an Oozaru. Didn't help him since it didn't hurt Gohan at all.

I think it's a lot simpler than that. 17 and 18 don't really have any time or patience for people pulling their poo poo this tournament; they're in it to win it, not to show off or have a fun fight. Both of them have been pretty consistently and brutally practical in all of the fights they've been in so far, and beating up your opponent before they have a chance to get stronger is just par for the course.

Protecting your virginity



The second half of this episode was great but I really wasn't feeling the first half. I understood the Magical Girl transformation/animation reuse gags but when this show has been plagued with unironic reuse issues that are almost as blatant, the joke feels flatter. The rest was great though, Vegeta's face when Ribrianne rolled towards him and the furry/bird lady Sailor Moon lesbian joke had me dying.

Also holy poo poo someone behind the scenes clearly loves 17, because he has been amazing in Super. 18 has been badass too, she could have so easily slipped into mom mode and ended up with no other identity for the rest of the series.

I'm too cool to be extinct.

After how serious the Goku Black arc was, I like how it turns out that U10's Kai is obsessed with Godtube and tea, the GoD is a dumb, loud rear end in a top hat, the angel is a goofy kid, and the top fighters in the universe are all comic relief. No wonder Zamasu went mad.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

It was pretty funny how the Kamikaze Fireballs had their glamorous high fashion costumes for all of five seconds before turning into complete weirdos.

Great episode all round imo they probably landed the Ginyu Force pastiche better here than they did with the Pride Troopers,hoping at least Ribrianne will make it to the semifinals with Hit, Jiren, Frieza etc, her fighting seems pretty legit and it'd make a nice change from all the brooding ultimate power guys.

A fella called Herms translates Japanese TV guides and magazines and they get posted here. Usually its fairly accurate but sometimes messy translation can cause confusion (for example, last episode it said Ribrianne and her friends were going to 'merge' which a lot of people thought meant a Gotenks style fusion but it probably actually meant come together to do their performance), the, uh, plot developments in question seem pretty clear cut here though.
