Gogeta isn't actually canon right? It'd be funny if Goku and Vegeta did the fusion dance in the show, but turned into someone completely different.

If these girls ain't part of DLC pack 6 for XV2 or DLC picks for FighterZ, I'mma riot.

Even if they don't make it into those because the characters were too recent for that, I wouldn't be surprised if they're gonna be shoe-ins for all future Dragon Ball fighting games, if only because the other only other notable female fighter is 18. Fighting games usually try to avoid being total sausage fests.

Also I appreciate how Caulifla's reaction to Kale losing control again is "wow that's so cool".

People seem to like the early looks at #21, so I could see her sticking around in games like Towa and Mira.

It's because the romaji for Kale's name is Keiru, presumably, since that's how they pronounce it. in the english dub it'll almost certainly be Kafla

As we all know, in the english dub it's Vegitu or Vegitot.

But it's not the Japanese name, it's just a lovely localization

The subs going with Kale for Kale and now suddenly deciding it's actually Keiru is actually stupid.

Yeah for all of the stereotypes about Dragon Ball "Goku always wins" is probably the least true. It was the most true in OG Dragon Ball, and even then there are multiple opponents Goku lost to at least once before having to defeat them in a rematch.

I like to think that robot cop was zipping around the arena the whole time, occasionally checking behind him and satisfied Freeza hasn't been able to catch up.

technically the only arc villain goku has ever defeated in a 1v1 since dragon ball is freeza

raditz: piccolo kills raditz and goku
vegeta: goku loses and krillin, yajirobe, and gohan have to finish vegeta off
cell: goku dies and gohan beats cell

Dont judge me, I design your manhole
This episode is amazing and I am totally rooting for Kefla to beat Goku's rear end. I feel like she might be the biggest wild card in the tournament since they've devoted so much time to developing Cauli and Kale (they've had four episodes including this one) that I can't imagine they're just gonna get jobbed. Compare that to Vegeta who they only really used to develop Cabba, and Gohan who seems to be stuck fighting fodder.

Also did anyone catch that Vegeta actually used Kale's name this time? Sounds like she's earned his respect.

As a loyal and dedicated fan who saw Goten and Trunks, two children who never fought seriously before and learned how to properly fuse within an hour and be on Majin Buu’s level, It upsets me that I didn’t see Kale or Caulifla train their entire lives and just show up strong so they don’t deserve to be strong.

And until now, I thought the only pun with ToP was that the point of it is to determine the top (i.e. best) universe.
