Isn't Champa explicitly Beerus brother?

They are, but that could really mean anything. I figured when Beerus was created Champa was also created slightly afterward so they were just considered siblings in that sense.

Also, only universe 6 and 7 are counterparts. The other universes probably have completely different people, so I don't think there are seven just like Beerus.

I kinda took Hit's thing in that he trained his body some but never needed to improve his time-lapse, he worked on his body's limits to use his ability and not the other way around, and since he can't just transform and power up he now tries training the illegal time lapse and now he's gonna DIO it up.

Hit did not realize until just now that his power works like Guldo and he has to hold his breath.

He doesn't talk very sparingly because he is stoic and mysterious, it is because he is actually mentally challenged :eng101:

Manga chapter 11 scans are out,

Vegeta loving nails Frost with a knee to the gut. Its very brutal and way better than the manga. I prefer this newer version of the Magetta fight, it never sat right with me that Vegeta struggled with a steam robot. This newer version is also much quicker. Vegeta tries to lift him, gets clobbered on the head and then destroys parts of the ring. Very funny fight. Cabba is next issue!

Yeah I'm digging the fights, but gently caress.. I can't get behind Hit's little boost. It's like he didn't know he could scream and glow until that moment. "I never needed to get better so I didn't until THIS VERY SECOND" is such a bullshit response. I'd love it if someone would just pull a Kaioken on Goku.. "Yeah this hurts like a motherfucker and I'll pay for this in the morning, but there's no way I'm going to let you beat me."

It's always been like that in DBZ. Fighters plateau off until either by chance or necessity they encounter someone stronger who inspires them to reach new levels. Goku and Vegeta were hanging around SSJ2 and 3 at the start of the series and may never have discovered God ki if not for Beerus and Whis showing up.

This is different though. This is someone with a mysterious power who just started screaming and somehow enhanced his entire schtick. I know it sounds like the same thing, but this time it felt so much worse.

You all are acting like Hit is some special weirdo when Frieza was already like this.

That's why Frieza was even able to outmatch SSJ Blue, because he actually trained for once.

I didn't watch the anime version of Ressurection F', but it'd be funny if the reason why Goku returned to the Kaioken was seeing Golden Freeza. "Man, he's burning himself out for a power boost, what a dummy...oh, didn't I use to have a technique like that? Should look into it again."

Also since it's Dragon Ball, there's likely another god above all those gods, a Supreme God of Destruction, if you will.

Dragon Ball Fusions new info:



quote:

Filling the "Maxi Gauge" during battle makes the ultimate "Maxi Fusion" possible, where the five fuse together, protagonist included.

There are two ways to fuse: the Fusion technique we learn in the Boo arc and the EX Fusion. Fusion has the Metamorians' clothes and, in that world where everything is fused, it is somewhat easier to do. The EX Fusion uses the "Metamo Ring" that was created by Bulma and, while not comparable to a normal fusion, makes it possible for any compatible characters to fuse and unfuse.

Welp. The dream is real. :allears:

Also,



"Pandel."

No, they'd need a sixth to take the Fusion's power.

Also I take from that paragraph that Potara fusions won't appear. I guess it makes sense, since the game would need fusions to be temporary. Too bad for Vegetto, Kibitoshin and Gotan though.

the EX band is basically a temporary Potara fusion since it combines their clothes and stuff. i imagine those fusions will be possible with the band/ring/whatever they're calling it

I don't think it's for me. I watched a clip of the SSB Kaoi-Ken on Youtube, and all I kept thinking was "please stop screaming and powering up already and just get on with the fight", followed by thinking that Goku powering up far beyond Hit and ending the fight quick because he was so much stronger was a rather boring resolution. The entire tournament sounds kind of boring honestly (I'm not watching Super), since Goku and Vegeta are so far beyond most of their opponents and just fighting with kiddy gloves to make it interesting.

No tournament in Dragonball history has ever been serious, until the final match when people start dying. That should be next episode :D

I didn't complain that the tournament wasn't serious or that people weren't dying, only that Goku and Krillin were fighting everyone bar Hit without ever really trying since they didn't even go SS at times and only went SSB in the Hit fight in reality. Which is just dull to me and takes a lot of the tension out of the fight, since you know that they're not even taking it seriously. Like I said though, I don't think Dragonball Z/Super is for me anymore. I'm just here for Abridged and Dragonball original.

They're martial artists, they're not going to go all out needlessly. Goku and Vegeta don't just want to one-shot their way to victory, they're both prideful and enjoy competition for the sake of it. That's leaving behind the strategic element of holding back their true power until it is absolutely needed.
