It also literally never works,, it's hilarious.

It kind of, sort of worked in Vegeta's second fight with Zarbon in that it pissed off the latter and broke his armor I guess.

So, rewatching the BOG episodes, which is canon: BINGO! or IRONCHEF Vegeta?


In my heart, the answer is both.



Also I know we're getting a tournament arc next, but I hope after that that DBS becomes a slice-of-life story following the adventures of Trunks and Goten trying to show Pan the marvels of the universe with their babbysiter Piccolo following them.


DANGER SON-GOTEN DANGER!


Mostly because this would be funny to me and also because it means we get GT and no fighting, thus giving me the schadenfraude of millions of angry weebs

I am unironically really excited for a tournament arc. Tournaments in Dragonball are where all the B-list characters get to step up and do unique and cool poo poo against an opponent in their weight class.

EDIT: Unless it plays out like the Cell Games where its just a complete pretense...but I hope that's not the case.

Vegeta's bird was probably the best detail in this episode. still laughing at Goku using Instant Transmission and for once not being in the exact place where he needed to be. Super is: good!

The old tournaments were underground, Bloodspot types of affairs, where they were ll super word televised and only martial artists and their friends went to.

Somewhere around the time Mr. Satan got involved they became huge world media events in giant stadiums.

That's why only the few people that actually went to the older tournaments remember Goku.

That's my hope. Between the universe-versus-universe, I hope we get to see a ton of new characters, and not just pulls from the current crop.

Yamcha jobbed literally everywhere besides his very first fight.

Well, on the one hand, chef Vegeta is funnier than bingo Vegeta (which is an accomplishment in and of itself). On the other, bingo Vegeta is actually a character in a videogame, as DLC support for Extreme Butoden, alongside farmer Goku and police Krillin.

I choose to believe that comedic Vegeta will always be true regardless of what he's doing.

Wuxi posted:

And literally the only reason he didn't job there was because Goku had not eaten. Otherwise that fight would've ended up like every Yamcha fight.

I wouldn't say he was jobbed in his fight against Tien. He is just not that strong of a guy and doesn't take his training seriously. Krillin at least seriously trained up until/through Buu.

Universe 6 will probably have guys very similar in strength to the main universe. The other universes will probably have some ok fighters mixed in with gag fighters. The big bad may come from another universe and 6 and 7'a teams have to join up to beat them.


I'm not clear: is his tournament like Mortal Kombat, or just something the cats decided to throw together for their amusement (wondering how flexible he rules are gonna be)

Same as a guy I know, because he loves the Spirit Ball attack and thought his fight against Kami was actually pretty incredible given how he as a normal, no bullshit human, completely threw off God.

Oh and because he's stronger than Cell.

Due to Shonen Power Level Bloat, Yamcha could legitimately defeat 99.999999999999% of the universe in a straight fight with the remaining being the other Z-Fighters and whoever they're fighting this week.

I legit hope its Vegeta/Goku (those two are pretty much given) + Krillin/Gohan/Freeza. Beerus and Freeza did get along pretty well (at least in Freeza terms) and he should have enough pull in hell to get him one of those 24 hours off that Goku got. Or something like that. Beerus probably can get pretty inventive when his new favourite food is on the line.

So what you're saying is the next arc of Dragon Ball Super is going to be Yamcha conquering a star system by main force and installing himself as emperor-slugger of the new Solar Baseball Government? Neat.

Frieza doesn't care about earth or anything though. It would be fun to see him as a sort of reluctant ally in a weird multiverse tournament but I think he's done after the RoF storyline.

We might see Buu pulled into action though. Depends on what sort of competitors they're going to be up against.

While it is probably in vain, I think the most entertaining sort of tournament they could do would be a best of five style rather than any sort of bracketed budokai style.

A best of tournament means you could have two losses on the earth side and still have them win overall, which means you could have the possibility of someone like piccolo and/or Gohan lose after a very hard fought battle and yet have Krillen still contribute if he ends up beating their fifth strongest guy.
