Vados is a girl so she's probably named after a flower or something.

e: Is Calvados typically stronger than whiskey? Champagne is usually stronger than beer though so that idea is thrown out anyway.

For all we know Champa is twice as strong as Beerus; I know in one of the movies (or Super i can't remember which) Whis said that Beerus wasn't the most powerful destroyer god in the multiverse.

Someone has said somewhere that Champa is the weaker of the two. It might have been in the manga.

Yeah, the latest manga says that Champa is weaker (probably due to being lazier), but Valdos is probably stronger than Whis.

The Super manga said something along the lines of this, paraphrasing:

Goku: "woah, you look like a Fat Beerus, are you going to fight? who's tougher"
Vados: "One look at them should be enough to figure that out"
Goku: "Oh, and you look like Whis, are you stronger than him?"
Vados: "A bit."
Whis: "u wot m8?"

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.

Huh, the adjutants (Whis and Vados) are both named for distilled liquors, while Beerus and Champa are not.

I wonder if this is intentional.

Yeah it's all intentional except for Beerus name

the original writer of battle of gods intended his name to be a pun on "virus" but when Toriyama took over he assumed it was a pun on "beers" so when he created beerus' attendant, etc etc

In Extreme Butoden, Broly is hilariously overpowered, and I used him and Kid Buu to run through the whole adventure mode easily.

All we know is that the original writer intended to have it be Virus, an evil entity that would make the Saiyans evil and stuff. So maybe.

Dragon Ball Evolution did a lot of bad things, but making it so Toriyama came back to the franchise kinda vindicates it. The unsung tragic hero of the franchise.

Dragon Ball Evolution sucked. It sucked really, really bad and Toriyama was mad and poo poo something so bad came out of his stuff, so a few years later, when Toei was setting up for a new animated movie Toriyama decided he had the power to stop another DBE situation and fixed up the premise of the movie, then before he knew it just wrote the whole drat thing.

Only bad belated Hollywood adaptations can save anime.

Maybe if Keeanu Reeves can finally make his Cowboy "47 Ronin" Bebop movie a reality, we can get another Cowboy Bebop animated movie out of it.

Also something something Battle Angel Alita.

Well Toriyama uses a naming scheme for all things related so once he saw BEERus it just clicked for him.

The original Beerus sounds like a lovely idea. Thanks for avoiding that fate, Toriyama.

Like a Bosh
It's kinda weird how many tone shifts this anime has had since the start. I know it only makes sense considering it has been written over 20 years but it started out as a gag anime then turned super serious and now is back to gag stuff with the most powerful warriors in the universe doing house chores. Vegeta isn't even the same character anymore he might as well be someone completely new considering how different he is in z to this and Goku has turned into a child like retard again it's kinda strange.

Not that I mind, one of my favorite episodes of Z was when they got their driver's license and that was 100% filler. However I think they might start to be over doing it. Watching vegeta do wacky stuff in BoG was amazing because how serious of a character he has always been. Now he is doing it almost every episode it's just not as funny.

Aurora

He's not even being wacky, though? He's treating the housechores super seriously and training way harder than Goku.

Goku's always been a manchild though, that's the whole point of his granny voice. Its just that everything got super serious all the time until Super/BotG.

Personally I prefer Vegeta this way, the alternative would be continuing his cycle of forgetting/learning to be humble in every single arc, but I agree they should sparse his wacky moments a bit more.
