Vegetarian brought up that Goku asked for Boo to be reincarnated...and suggested getting him instead of Fat...Mr. Boo.

Goku was telling Vegeta that Kid Boo's reincarnation wouldn't be able to participate in the tournament because at least by that time...he would've just been born.

It went something like that.

From what I recall, Goku said he wanted the reborn Kid Buu after Vegeta mentions Fat Buu not being strong enough for the tournament since he got beating up by Beerus. Vegeta then says that he can't be in the tournament since he would be too young and Vegeta said they should get Gohan. They settled on Piccolo after Goku said that Gohan isn't into fighting anymore.

Ya know, I've gotten so used to blue-haired Future Trunks, it ain't even funny.

What I don't get is why Kid Trunks is still purple.

The only explanation I can think of is maybe they don't want people to get confused between Kid Trunks and Future Trunks. Despite the fact they're different sizes. And can wear different clothing.

Hey, maybe Kid Trunks is actually going to get a growth spurt, and that's why they want to make Future Trunks stand out from him!

...that's unlikely. But, man, that'd be awesome.

[up][up] Actually, after the reborn Freeza fight, Gohan decided it was high time he got back in shape and started training with Piccolo again. He was totally up for fighting in the inter-universal tournament, but the tournament happened to fall on the day of a big science conference he was scheduled to present at. Since the tournament wasn't a life-threatening event (worst case scenario, Earth just gets moved into Universe 6), he decided his career should take precedent and declined to participate. That's when they settled on Piccolo for the final slot.

I'm kind of boggled at how the Pilaf Gang even survived in Future Trunk's timeline, but now we have Mai of all people as Trunk's partner? Really? And her VA said that she's going to be a regular in the coming arc? REALLY?

Who could have predicted THAT?

She still looks really good for her age.

That's 17+ years in bad future...from before the 3 years of training starting the Android arc. She should look as bad as she does during GT.

I love how every time Future Trunks shows up, he brings a new ship with him. Vegeta/Bulma and now Future Trunks/Future Mai.

I think the fact that Mai is now tagging along muddles things for people who haven't followed the series for 25+ years. Blue hair of Future Trunks aside, I don't think we've been told EXPLICITLY what happened to the Pilaf Gang in Future Trunk's timeline, unlike Mister Satan.

Plus, y'know, Mai looking like a teenager, rather than her classic Dragonball version.

Yeah, Mai looks even younger here than she did in her very first appearance.

Definitely looks like a teenager. Classic Dragonball Mai even had lipstick.

Plus judging by the preview poster, this Mai is barely even Trunk's height, whereas one of Mai's obvious traits in older Dragonball was, well, how tall she was compared to Pilaf (or Bulma for that matter).

The height thing really doesn't matter....Future Trunks left off taller than Bulma, who's a fully-fledged grown woman.

Mai should actually be shorter than him...and what if she decided to stop wearing mouth paint, huh? What if she's a character who decided that they doesn't have to look good when taking on a threat?

I was looking at old gameplay of Ultimate Battle 22, and I was wondering, what the fuck is this stage based off of?

Does anyone remember a floating cross with crystals on each end?

wild mass guess... are these time crystals...wild mass guess

I'm more surprised that they're evidently hanging onto the Trunks/Mai idea, after having dropped all hints of it whatsoever so far in Super. Knowing that they haven't dropped it, Future Mai being Future Trunks' future adventuring buddy in the future makes an odd amount of sense, however they decide to justify it. Future.

I was about to say that maybe Pilaf and the Gang wished for youth in Trunks' timeline as well, but that would be impossible (or at least, they would have have to have done in much earlier than in our heroes' timeline, and also ended up becoming even younger than they did there).

Knowing those guys, I wouldn't be surprised if they fell down a hole while hiding from the androids and accidentally landed into the Fountain of Youth or something.

[up][up][up][up] That's not exactly uncommon; I'm definitely taller than my mom at 23. Maybe Trunks just had one hell of a growth spurt since we last saw him.

I'm thinking Pilaf and the gang made their youth wish sometime before the Androids killed Piccolo; we don't actually know when they did it in the main timeline either right? It was definitely before Battle of Gods, but its not unlikely to think they did it in the three year time skip between the end of the Freeza saga and his return.

It'd require a shit ton of retconning though.

I would think they'd be a lot taller by the time of Battle of Gods if they'd made the wish before the Cell Saga.

That, or they wished themselves back to infancy. Man, that must have been a living hell. Spending your formulative years with your future boss.

Well, Goten and Trunks still look 7 and 8 despite being at least in their preteen years :V

Then again, saiyan genes. Like I said, Toriyama might've just said "fuck it, its my story and I do what I want" I doubt we're gonna get an explanation for this.
