Gohan is the only saiyan we've seen at any point between tiny child and muscle man, I imagine this will hold true for Goten and Trunks

GAMERDOME put down LOSER
I have to imagine it's intentional after this episode that most of U7's opposition are younger fighters so far when they're much older. It's the same situation Goku found himself in when he fought Master Roshi, and that was ultimately a good thing for him.

They should have brought Hercule instead of Freeza. He would definitely last to the end.

The other universes probably just grabbed their people with the highest power level readouts or something.

Nothing we've seen suggests the gods use anything as crass and misleading as scouters.

It's been a gimmick-fest.

I wonder if the new part where the lyrics go "This is the climactic fight scene!" will actually play over the climactic fight scene.

I agree. There's other videos on this guy's channel showing the other characters, and he superimposes some manga panels over the screen and they line up perfectly. It's insane.

video game art is better. i dont like how toriyama's characters have gotten skinnier and more cartoony over the years. its like self-parody

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.

It's got more to do with saving animation budget and making the series easier to draw.

I imagine it's more that Toriyama's style has changed. Manga/anime as a whole has shifted away from the giant buff beatdown men that was popular when Z was a thing

I like the u6 sayains. The look similar to, but distinct from the u7 type. I do wonder what u6 humans look like.

I guess people don't remember the time a plot point in this series was that being big and muscular doesn't make you a better fighter and can actually be a disadvantage.

Ultra SuperSaiyan levels of hilariously buff were indeed a plotpoint, but I still like the regular bufness from DBZ, it fir the artsyle.

So that means all muscle is bad and noodle arms are best?

Heavyweights are the best fighters irl. That's just physics.
