Manga/Dragon Ball

Saiyans also seem to have greater psychological durability.

<Side-eyes Kale and Broly> Do they now?

Joke aside, they might be good examples that Saiyans do. Both of them had troubles, but having actual relationships and friendships with people - and in Kale's case, that person (Caulifla) reaffirming that they are, in fact, their greatest relationship - seems to go a long way in fixing their problems.

Vegeta's still kicking, despite all he's been through. He's got a chronic shoulder wound, but mentally he seems okay.

Vegeta takes little emotional breakdowns every now and then and has a cathartic round of backstabbing for mental unhealth

At the very least they seem to develop long-term memory at a much faster rate than Earthlings do. How else would Saiyan babies be expected to remember their genocide/subjugation missions?

I'm pretty sure you don't need to work that hard to get a baby to flail around, cry, and throw things. Give a normal human baby super strength and the ability to grow giant and you will get the same result.

I showed up to a costume thing in the blue and red Cheongsam that Chichi wore to the 23rd tournament, and one guy (probably Gen Z) guessed Kurapika (I’d assume from Hunter X Hunter). Could someone post those outfits next to each other for me?

The fact that Super gives a somewhat happy send off for Future Trunk by saying that he will be with duplicates of his family and not be drove insane while the Super Dragon Balls exist will never not be funny.

Like Future Trunks takes the "Name a character that went thru more pain than her. I'll wait" meme runs with it. Like the pain he goes through would be grounds to be "put down" and in his case twice over to take into account of the afterlife. Like can many people who is alive irl say they have gone through as much pain as him?

Isn't Kurapika's outfit more of a qi-pao with a bit of high-fantasy priest elements? Not sure how one could mistake Chi-Chi's outfit with that.

Similar...

I can sort of understand mixing up because of the color schemes, and with Kurapika commonly being mistaken for female and Chi-Chi commonly being forgotten about pre-Dragonball Z - if you watched anime casually when you were younger it'd be easy to mix any two characters up let alone these two.

Ya know...

It'd be cool if it was addressed in the series.

The reason King Kai invented the Spirit Bomb was to deal with threats like Pure Boo. Goku says that it will only hurt evil things when he has Gohan reflect it, so wouldn't it be better if King Kai gave Goku the idea to use that attack. Or at least mention it when they're wondering how they'd contact everyone on Earth.

I suppose he found it too impractical to be of use so he didn't outright told Goku. In canon it has been used like four times by Goku and only worked once against Kid Buu. So I guess he felt that Goku would risk too much everytime if they tried to use it in situations where they wouldn't have enough Ki to make it capable of doing the job

The thing I always found fascinating is Kid Buu can drive it back. As he's so child like he is pure of heart and doesn't know what he's doing is wrong. It requires Goku having to push back to finish him.

There's a paradox in that despite being seen as pure evil/the most evil Buu in-universe, he's sort of less evil than Super Buu by virtue of lacking many of the mental faculties to be knowingly malicious

On the opposite end, Zamasu's evil stands out since he's from a race meant to be good. Yeah Frieza chooses to be evil but he still grew up in an evil environment and would've been encouraged to be evil so it's unsurprising he ended up the way he did. Zamasu is from a race who's job is to shepherd the cosmos so the fact he went bad really stands out from a lot of major Dragonball villains

Kid Buu really is just a kid after all.

New Xenoverse DLC has been announced.

Here's the trailer.

It's amazing to me that this game keeps getting updates.

Also known as the "We have Ultra Ego at home" trailer.

Its like they had a dart board with "How to make Future Trunks miserable"

cause the ending of Goku black is a ridiculous case of the writers misjudging an action.

____

I did read a fan rewrite of Goku Black arc that worked Chronoa into it that has her and Zeno work something out at the end when Zeno has to use the Erase button cause Zamasu just won't fucking die

She'll be allowed to reset Trunks' timeline back before Goku black's rampage but It'll cost Trunks' "Life" cause yadda yadda time laws.

Trunks agrees and only asks if he can tell his mother goodbye 'Trunks is under the impression Beerus' is gonna hakai him' since Beerus does ominously say the "Boy doesn't deserve that fate"

Chronoa does the reset, Trunks has his moment with future Bulma before going to face what he thinks is a bullet.

The punchline is of course Nobody is gonna kill Trunks... Trunks is Chronoa's new assistant/aide, His life is now dedicated to protecting the timeline. so his normal life is over. so it worked as a backdoor to the xenoverse games.

I think the person was a Trunksx Chronoa shipper too since Mai just kinda up and disappears

Ultra Supervillain... that's definitely a form name. I do like the bigass crystal jutting out of Black and Vegeta though.

Toyotarou on Twitter shared that the panel of Piccolo saying goodbye to Pan's teacher actually came from Toriyama, the last correction he did for the manga.

So that does clarify that the mini-arc was already planned to end this way, and Toyotarou says he didn't draw it with Toriyama's passing in mind, but now, it has that meaning to him.

Gonna be tough on him going forward.

Big shoes to fill, and a huge shadow looming over him.

Not a fan of neverending DLC seasons, but Xenoverse 2 isn't a live-service game so its tolerable.

Looks like we're cooking with the what-if ideas now. What if Vegeta got SSG? What if Goku Zamasu... for some reason survived.
