Considering Kale gets buff even in her normal Super Saiyan form and the other two don't, it really seems to just be a weird design decision. I put it with blue haired Trunks in that the show decided to just run with it regardless of what we would expect.

she doesn't have a normal Super Saiyan form, she has a BROLYYYYYYYYYYYYYY form

It seems weird how the U7 team keeps "spending all their energy" and then jumping back in the fight but in a few episodes they're gonna reveal that most of them hid several senzu beans in their mouths before the tournament started.

She has both, she used her normal Super Saiyan state a couple of times before she mastered her Berserker form and stuck with that one.

Yeah, Kale has three transformations.

Regular SSJ, which still has green-ish hair

BERSERK BROLY BROLY BROLY

And True Legendary SSJ, which is her mastering her Berserker power. Her hair looks more like Goku's SSJ hair in this form and is a bright green.

Tell me with a straight face, looking unblinking into my eyes, that you would not sever a pound of flesh to see an episode of their wedding where Vegeta gets trashed as hell and completely melts down over how happy he is to be back with Saiyan culture, and one that isn't self-terminating.

Then he annihilates half the estate brawling Goku when Cauli eggs him on.

Embarrassing Drunk Uncle Geets would be the most amazing thing. We might even get a bingo reprise as Bulma drags his dazed, stupefied body out of the wedding hall.

They went to a timeline right before Goku Black showed up and just lived there permanently. He still has to live with the fact that everyone he knew in his own timeline got killed.

Trunks.txt. Even when something that should be happy happens to him, it has so much poo poo behind that you can't imagine he could ever be happy with it, or happy in general.

"Go on until you're stopped."
I assume that the U6 Saiyans are noodles because Toriyama has developed in style to the point where he doesn't feel the need for every male character to be a ridiculous muscle mountain, so he put in some that aren't (and a few, like Krillin, got redesigned to be less muscular).

Unfortunately, most of the characters are still ridiculous muscle mountains, so instead of looking like an art upgrade, the new characters just look weird and tiny by comparison.

If you do that we lose the best moments of this tournament, including the Roshi moment

Really the issue with this tournament is, as neat as he is, Jiren. He is so incredibly overpowered that realistically it doesn’t matter who made it this far, because other than a Goku/Vegeta combo maybe no one can come even close to matching Jiren. No universe has put up anyone that is even close to top tier other than 7/11, and that’s the lame part. If they got rid of freeza or 17 and put some fighter from another universe in that was comparable in power to Goku/Vegeta/Jiren it would take care of itself mostly

Hit was evenly matched with Goku in the first tournament, and came very close to defeating Jiren. Probably if he had planned his strategy better, like having the rest of U6 destroy the stage under Jiren while he was frozen, he could've done it.

It's true that U6 just came off as a worse version of U7 overall though. I think it would've been far more interesting if their Namekians had actually become Goku tier from merging so many times.

I wish more of the Universes came even close to U7's power, but they were all many times weaker where even Roshi was able to go on part with these guys. Hit and Berserker Kale were the only non-fusion fighters outside of U7 and U11 to show off much power. Everyone else was either weak or had to use some kind of cheap tactic to be relevant, like most of U4.

Hit is stronger than Goku sans UI.

As the tournament it was obvious that Hit had the upper hand even though he was holding back.

Yeah but then he hired him to kill himself and they fought to a standstill. Vegeta got all jealous because Kakarot senpai seemed to like fighting Hit more then he liked fighting Vegeta.

I think its a missed opportunity to not have SSJ3 Gotenks in the tourney instead of Tien. This jackass gently caress off powerful cocky fused kid being a finalist would have been fun and add personality to the mix. This way we also get a Trunks of some kind even if its no the cool one.

I agree. It was kind of nice to have a two way fight between U7 and U11 at the end. The standoff at the beginning of 122 is one of my favorite moments of the series so far. But I still would've preferred having U3 stick around longer and be a bit smarter at playing for the clock, when they had the numbers advantage.

I'm betting Frieza is going to make some wish with the Super Dragon Balls, become a God among Gods and kill Beerus and maybe even Zen-Oh. Since people can become Gods of Destruction and Goku \ Vegeta may be candidates, I have a feeling that Beerus is going to die and it's going to be very sad.

I know it's Dragon Ball and everyone comes back from death, but when Champa and the Universe 6 guys got erased, it was a really bittersweet moment. Even though I'm sure they will come back and Vegeta said that's what he wants his wish to be. Maybe Vegeta will bring Sadala to Universe 7, rebuild the Saiyan race and truly be the Prince of All Saiyans for real.

Considering his performance in the Buu arc, Gotenks would mess around, waste everyone's time, unfuse, then resort to begging not to be booted off the arena. And it would all probably happen in one episode. :v:

Also seriously, what the hell did Tien do to the writers that they'd give him such an awful showing?

Tien was never good and the writers remembered Dragon Ball OG past his fight with goku and all the nothing he did from there to Super.

Yamcha was a better character than Tien in DB and should have taken Tien's spot of "Really just trying he best to show he's not useless."
