Everything changes, Pit.
Even gods.

This episode was another cute low-key slice of life kind of thing and they still managed to sneak a little fight into it, this arc seems to be where Super is actually getting really good

the preview made it look like Krillin's facing off against Gohan and Goku one after the other next episode and I am real excited to see how much he's improved and what cool stuff he's come up with

solar flare still relevant even now, good stuff

How is hell is there only 28 planets with sentient life in the entire universe? The saiyans would send their babies to conquer and sell weak planets, I think they had more than 28 babies!

Heck I bet there are more than 28 types of alien soldiers in friezas army.

Clearly there's only 28 planets left because the Saiyans would send their kids to other planets to kill everyone and sell them.

There are 44 unique races is Friezas army alone! Not to mention the aliens Babidi brought along with him, and the metal man planet, and the race of the universe 6/7 tournament announcer, the race of the tentacle galactic king guy, Jako, planet Yardrat etc....!

If this is the case Supreme Kai really has been dropping the ball very hard. Kid Buu blew up a few planets in the time between blowing up Earth and the final fight!

These two facts are probably connected.

Also keep in mind that there can be planets with one more than species or species who lost their planet (like, uh, the Saiyans.)

In Resurrection F they mention that the Frieza Forces still control like 448 planets. If there are only 28 planets left there has been some kind of really bad genocide recently! maybe Zeno was right.

Obviously they can easily control those planets because there is nobody on them.

The Frieza Force explicitly controls planets that have had life wiped out to be sold. That's their entire thing in fact and why they're all reduced to numbered planets.

Like the stated pre-DBZ purpose of the Saiyans was to send them to planets so they killed everyone on them.

Shocked I tell you
A bunch of the Aliens we have likely seen have probably lost their original planet.

Given that Universe 6 has big universal hub worlds, it appears that Frost going for good PR was a good thing.

Maybe it's '28 planets that might have decent fighters and aren't total shitholes.' Like they might not get any recruits from Freeza Force planets even if they did run into some Ginyu force candidate.

Watching the dub Super episodes that at the end of the Beerus arc...and they make a mention of their fight causing shockwaves that start to destroy planets the further from the source. It would be amusing and ironic for Beerus the reason their ranking is so low is due to their fight causing a lot of the planets to be destroyed.

I find it really interesting that neither Goku nor Gohan remembered Tien, when they know for a fact that he's easily stronger than Krillin.


Makes me wonder if he's going to get a cool moment that reminds them of him or if they're just going to go "Oh yeah, Tien!"


Also get poo poo on Yamcha

I personally can't wait until the next time jump when goku and vegeta both have beards, gohan is in his 30s, goten and trunks are young adults like gohan is currently, and pan and bulla are the OP kids just like gohan was v. raditz.



gently caress it, give kuririn, tien, and piccolo beards too.

krillin's stronger. he hangs out with androids and his kid and fights crime

But he's not. Tien literally gave a mini-speech about giving up on trying to keep up with the Saiyans during the cell saga. If he'd continued to do anything more than simply maintain they'd have been able to find him during the Buu Saga when they were looking for him to enter the tournament just by sensing his Ki.

When has Krillin shown to be anywhere near stronger than Tien since the Cell Saga.

I'm including the Buu Saga here. Krillin gave up fighting after Cell while Tien didn't. Tien has shown that he's never slacked on his training and upkeep, while Krillin only recently started training again.

How do you think Tien is weaker, exactly? Like an actual reason would be nice.


EDIT: Tien gave up on trying to keep up with the SSJs, not give up fighting all together.

Also he likely doesn't have his ki at max all the time- none of them do when they're in down time. So of course he'd be hard to find.


Thinking on that, it'd be kind of amusing if that's part of the problem. They don't know where to find Tien

Tien was most interesting when he was Goku's douchebag rival back in Dragon Ball.

Direct statement by both character in universe and the actual author.

I'll add that, prior to Super, it was never stated that Krillin gave up training, just fighting.

The average (and we're talking a farmer here, so above average) human has a PL of 5. Did Tien just take a week off to lay in bed that just so happened to coincide with the tournament? Because otherwise, he's one of the biggest powers on the planet. If he's doing anything other than maintenance he should be pretty easy to pick up.

If you go by Author's Word, Tien isn't even human. He's half alien or whatever.

So when Toriyama talks about the strongest human, the choices are loving Roshi, Yamcha and Krillin.


Mind you I find that stupid. Tien might as well be human, why wouldn't he be?

Honestly most of that was "Toriyama sez so". But Krillin will definitely be stronger by Super episode 84.

Krillin will be stronger than Tien because the rules of drama will call for it, just like everything else in Dragon Ball.
