Tbh I'm not sure I like Vegeta having either variant of his Saiyan armor in Super. One of the kind of subtle details in DBZ was how Vegeta gradually wore less and less of his classic outfit until eventually he was just wearing normal Earthling clothing in the Uub chapters. Super kind of ruins that progression by having him go from the tanktop getup back to the armor he wore during the Androids/Cell Saga stuff.

Pretty sure he only wore what he did in the Buu saga because he wasn't allowed to wear the armor in the Tenkaichi Budoukai. That sleeveless look looks awful on him, imo.

I'm a big fan of Vegeta's RoF gray armor. Not so much Goku's. But Vegeta's looks amazing.

It's a matter of battle again. So he's wearing it. His fighting spirit is coming back with all these new(And old in Frieza) battles again. He's becoming a warrior again. He's interested in keeping up with Goku. Maybe his old 'pride', altered. He will not be defeated by mere cooking. Or babies. Nothing will hurt his family. He reconnected with his future-son, even did a Father-Son Galick Gun. He re-learnt/remembered how to deal with gag characters(And then had that turn out useful). And now he's on the biggest stage fighting for massive stakes. Possibly bigger than he might expect.

The last Saiyans.

And Goku himself....Saiyans of DB universe like to fight, but hate being ruled especially. Goku had to inherit Vegeta's will on his death and defeat Frieza. I'm left with a feeling that though he doesn't show it, much like Vegeta, he doesn't like being ruled. That pictureset earlier started me thinking on this. It helps that the Angels and God of Destruction and so on are questionable, but...they're both Saiyans. They hate being ruled by outsiders. They've always been more alike than not. Goku is even actively 'plotting' for once.

Too vague, too vague. I don't have clear thoughts on this. He's learnt he can't be the ultimate. He's fine with that, finally. He's...perhaps you'd say 'broken down' on that? He's 'building up' again. He's learnt he can be 'close', and that's still good. Before he was 'if you're not the ultimate, what's the point?'.

CK2 reference: He's lost Ambitious. But he doesn't have Content. Probably picked up(Or always had) Diligent.

Hit is awesome. Great episode.

Two questions:
1) has anyone played the DBS card game? If so tell me what you think.

2) if anyone has made the Figure Arise Standard DBZ models, did you paint them? If so tell me about it. There is literally zero information about it online and I find it unbelievable

Im ambivalent about Hit because he's too much like Piccolo and that means that we're never going to see Piccolo get to be badass again in any significant way, because we've got Hit to replace him, apparently. Also Hit is purple and there are way too many purple guys in the Dragon Ball mythos

Dragon Ball Super had me thinking about gods and wondering why Goku & Friends aren't worshipped by earthlings as the deities of physical might that they are. Even at that most people seem entirely ignorant of Kami-sama and his influence over Earth. Was Satan's greatest lie convincing humanity that God is just an elaborate setup of smoke, mirrors, and lighting?

This is the best answer possible, and I do remember him saying their armor was considered formal wear.

However going Blue is suppose to eat up all your Stamina according to the Manga. Vegeta wasted all his energy hitting Cabba once in Blue and that how he lost to Hit.

Well thats clearly not how it works in the Anime. Blue being active in the anime appears to be stamina draining, but not in short bursts.

At the end of the episode once they survey the ruins of the game (which they had nothing to do with) they will agree humbly they have a lot to learn as Destroyers

The Z fighters work to keep a low profile. They actively use Mr. Satan to take all their credit to keep them out of the spotlight, and he's in on it as well. It starts with him inadvertently taking credit for the Cell games, then 18 blackmails him during the budokai tenkaichi for more money. Satan gives Goku a bunch of money because he knows Goku is the real defender of Earth. After that, Goku fake takes a hit to show off how "strong" Satan is so that he can keep the gig up (this was technically filler in Super but whatever).

Satan knows his role and plays it well. He also keeps Buu under wraps. Mark Satan is a good man, as well as a good father and grandfather.

Maybe he didn't have the dojo for very long and he was still building up the basics before beginning to teach them Z Fighter stuff. Like how you need to learn how to doggie paddle and tread water before you learn swimming strokes.

Tien was trying to teach people how to control their ki using silly things like "meditation" and "proper form." Gohan, like Cabba, figured out the real way to do this poo poo. Just focus on a body part, get a tingling sensation, and relax your muscles. Done

It really would be amazing if super saiyan had nothing to do with being a saiyan at all. Kale explains back tingles to yamcha and we get Super Yamcha.
