Do you not know the premise of Rocky?

Yeah, it's a movie that bears no relation to the actual sport it's based on. They're great movies, but Mayweather isn't making stupid money for real boxing because he gets beaten up and comes out looking like Stallone.

Seriously though, imagine how easy sports would be if you were a Z fighter. Get yourself every single gold medal in the olympics.

Gohan's best episodes in the Buu saga shows that the issue is more holding back so people don't freak out when you hit a ball into space.

Dragon Ball Wiki posted:

On the same Dragon Box that Toriyama illustrated the Super Saiyan 4 form, he refers to the series as "a grand side-story of the original Dragon Ball".[5] This controversial statement is interpreted by some fans to mean that the series is considered by Toriyama as an official continuation of his manga, and by others to mean the opposite. In December 2014, FUNimation voice actor Christopher Sabat said that GT is "not even canon anymore", [6] likely meaning that the release of Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods superseded GT as official content, in Sabat's opinion. Notably, Sabat's statement is the only recorded usage of the word "canon" by anyone involved in the production of any Dragon Ball media.

Basically, what Dragon Ball media is "canon" is really a fan-made distinction. I think someone noted earlier, when talking about how powers and setting elements work, that Toriyama, unlike later shonen mangaka, isn't really a nerd. He doesn't care about the concept of "canon," because it's just not how he thinks.

Vegeta vs Cabba looked like more of a training lesson, ala Beerus vs. Goku, than a fight.

We finally get to see Hit fight next episode and judging from the preview he beats the poo poo out of SSGSS Vegeta.

Vegeta finally called it "Super Saiyan Blue" this episode. I still hope that the dub makes it "Super Cyan."

New episode is great. Vegeta going all tough love prince was pretty cool, I think the next arc is going to be fighting Hit for real after the tourney ends, and it's funny to me that the new ED puts Krillin on Team Girl instead of Team Dragon Ball with Roshi and Yamcha and such.

Dragon Balls? Are they tasty?
Super uses a lot of flashbacks.. I'm playing a lot of catch-up this weekend, and there were two episodes that were mostly characters talking over footage of things that happened 3 episodes prior. Finally got to see the episode about Bulma's sagging tits, which is strange to bring up since they've given her a much more lithe build than she had in DBZ..


Edit: What is the Japanese text that comes up randomly on the screen in some of the subs? Are they ads, or reminding the audience what the episode is called, or what?

I mean, you're making statements based on translation of an ambiguous statement, and a voice actors comments. So GT is canon

Dont judge me, I design your manhole
Considering they advertise GT stuff and Super stuff in games like Heroes, I assume the Japanese plain do not care what is "canon" and just want as many characters and Super Saiyan forms as possible.

Also Cabba best Saiyan. The latest episode was pretty cute and I am glad he really is just a good guy. They also seem to be implying he's Universe 6's equivalent of Vegeta which is pretty silly. I notice the opening implied he would use a lot more energy based kicking though, so the fact that he didn't do any of that was kind of disappointing.

you can just assume gt and/or super are both alternate timelines like future trunks if it helps. toriyama himself probably doesn't care. super contradicts gt, but it's not like plotholes never happen in dragon ball

How do you figure? Frieza was only killed by Future Trunks and Goku. Yamcha was killed by a Saibaman, Majin Buu, and Frieza.

Yamcha never even met Frieza.
