It might be a bit of a spoiler but what I think this OP really needs is a gif of Zamasu and Zamasu hugging evilly.

It's kinda amazing to which degree Toyotaro needs to dump on Vegeta. Having him paralyzed with fear and having Shin of all people save his bacon is just sad.

Yeah, genuinely caring about Kale and wanting to help her build some confidence, and going maximum fightnerd when there's a good tussle to be had aren't mutually exclusive. Plus, Caulifla isn't exactly smart and calculating enough to intentionally ignore Kale to draw out her power, she's as, if not more, impulsive than Goku.

Depending on how things go after this arc we might figure out what the deal with Blue is through Caulifla.

Last week's preview made me worried Caulifla was gonna get ringed out, glad she got saved by Goku's serial opponent-sparing problem. Kale's whole resolution scene was a bit weird, but then again Vegeta also unlocked Super Saiyan by being a huge pissy crybaby so that's not the first time either. GokuGoesSSJ3 posted:Here's the thing about Caulifa and Kale, they're both great characters, but in the end it's a Japanese children's cartoon and Japan as far as I can tell doesn't even really talk about lgbt stuff. Caulifa also refers to Kale as her friend or protege constantly. You can ship them as much as you want but pretty sure there isn't a lesbian romance going on in the show that just passed the threshold of having female characters that might matter to the story but probably won't. Anime is full of subtextual or even textual lesbians though, and not just recently either. Sailor Moon back in the day was a kids' show but that didn't stop it from having several straight-up queer characters. No one's expecting a big ol' confession and/or kiss scene between them or whatever, this is still just a silly punchmans show, but Kale constantly power-blushing at Caulifla is pretty much asking the audience to come to a specific conclusion here. Also Dragon Ball already had General Blue. It's not exactly stellar representation or anything but gay people aren't exactly a new and unheard thing in this franchise in the first place.

I actually like that they set up Frost to be good Frieza but then the twist is he's just good PR Frieza, it's just that this is a thing you can only do once and afterwards you either go in a whole new direction or you're stuck with Frieza but less so. It's why I half-hoped and half-expected he'd get some kinda redemption arc for the tournament, just because it would give him more contrast to Frieza. As it is I don't have a lot of interest in Frost as a character. Having him stealth-gank people stupid enough to casually hang out at the edge of the arena is funny but that's not enough to make him interesting for me.

Momomo posted:Did it turn into the English dub for a second there? It sounded like Sonny Strait saying "Help me!". The German dub always called him Son Goku without fail, same with Tien always being Tenshinhan. On that note Krillin was pronounced more like Krilleen (while being spelled Kuririn in the title cards, causing me tons of confusion as a kid) and Vegeta's pronounced like Veh-geh-tah, with a hard g like in "good".

I'm surprised the Hellzone Grenade actually worked, usually moves that result in large dust clouds are legally required to be shrugged off like nothing. If the tournament does go off the rails eventually and the last couple contestants challenge the High Priest, I wonder if Gohan's gonna be the main instigator. So far he's the only one who showed a level of remorse for playing a part in annihilating countless lives when everyone else only displayed shock and disbelief.

tbp posted:yeah pre and post freeza Z has a pretty decent art difference imo. and then z to super is again really big. When I was a kid I recorded the Goku vs Piccolo episodes and every so often rewatched that part where Piccolo tore his own arm off and splattered red blood all over the place. That scene's so ingrained in my mind purple blood Piccolo never stopped being a bit weird to me. Nowadays I can't say I exactly miss that more visceral level of violence in Super, but as a kid I was absolutely into the more brutal fights of late DB and early Z.

The problem with "reading the text" is when there's multiple texts out there that aren't necessarily contradictory but not identical either. Or sometimes they are contradictory, in the case of the movies. It's a thing I find neat about Super, though. It has a touch of oral story-telling tradition, having a story change as it is told to and then told by different people. Not exactly the first time an anime and manga covered the same base material while going in different directions but it's still more interesting to see how these same-but-different stories work out rather than trying to fit things into "canon" and "not canon" categories.

I figured Ganos would pull off a last-second save but I guess Mouser will laugh his last kekekeee soon enough. Kinda hope a U7 member gets ringed out soon just to raise the stacks a bit more. Next episode seems to have a slight Tien focus so maybe he'll get dusted in the first three minutes.

The Roshi creeper scene basically made me wish he'd actually keel over at the end of the episode.Crabtree posted:But seriously did Goku revive Roshi? Does that count as him accidentally triggering some kind of Creation power or technique to save his dirty old master? That scene where a dying character is being resuscitated, it seems to fail and everyone starts mourning only for the character to draw breath a second later is basically around in fiction everywhere. Who knows if that#s the idea with that blue energy wave at the end though.

Somehow feels a bit early for that.Glagha posted:Actual question: Has Jiren even spoke yet? His MO seems to be eternally staring silently at the poo poo going on and only occasionally stepping in to do one move to show he's a badass before going back to doing nothing. I think he said something like "Leave it to me" before dealing with Kale, but that was it.

Manatee Cannon posted:I thought they explained zamasu sticking around by saying the time ring saved him from it or w/e I think that was just a fan theory going around when Beerus insisted he could totally destroy people across timelines, when the simple answer is that he doesn't know poo poo and Trunks himself is more of an authority on time travel shenanigans, as Beerus himself later admits. The future Trunks is returning to at the end also still had a Zamasu they had to deal with, and he didn't have any time ring powers at that point.

Speaking of fighting game rosters, I wonder if Caulifla and Kale are gonna become shoe-ins a year or two from now just because of how starved this franchise is of female fighters. Imagine the next big Dragon Ball fighting game that's mostly rehashing Z all over again, but also Caulifla and Kale are there for good measure.

I didn't exactly like Hit when he was introduced and it took his fight for him to become more interesting to me, but doing the same whole "stoic and taciturn guy turns increasingly excited as Goku teaches him the joys of being a punchman" song and dance again would be pretty boing, as would be keeping him stoic and taciturn the entire time. Those are by no means the only two directions to take Jiren's character in but as is I don't exactly have high hopes for him.

TheHan posted:I'm not ready to call it either way on Jiren's personality, but one thing I am disappointed about is his and Toppo's dynamic. Toppo said Jiren was his best friend but they've shared a total of zero words so far. Not even a reassuring pat on the back. Zamasu and Zamasu were better friends than these two are. It's not fair to compare Toppo and Jiren to the two best friends in the franchise.
