I mean, I feel like Launch's bullets were weakened by the power of Gag Manga.

I didn't actually expect to see the other eleven universes, not this soon, relatively speaking. We've already been to 6 and 10, now the tournament is coming up...Elephant man proves the Guerrillas of Destiny will not be sticking to an Egyptian theme...oh well.

Something doesn't add up. Each "universe" is supposed to be a twin, yet given what we've seen of the gods of destruction they can't all be twins. Now people are calling retcon on the four kaioshin and daikaioshin but I don't think that's fair. There were lots of universe 7 kaioshin, they died. But seeing how the destroyer gods of the universe pairs aren't all twins, the other pairs simply may not have had a lot of kaioshin and there just being one to each at any given time could be coincidental or even irrelevant to 7's situation? Maybe there are a bunch is some of the other pairs but they all didn't bother to show up to the tournament. Considering they were all killed, not too long ago, it's good sense not to have all the kaioshin together.

Besides Zamas's existence proving there are equivalents to the lesser kai in the other universes, I don't see what makes directional kai pointless. I'd rather say the revelation that there are at least hundreds of thousands of galaxies in a universe makes the directional system nonsensical. If there were five daikaio before majin buu went rampaged, then what happened to the other 11? You'd think if each kaioshin represented a direction would have been four daikaio for each...though the manga only really only confirms two kaioshin under the daikaioshin, which is even worse.

But even ideally, 16 daikaio with 64 kaio under them is still criminally understaffed. If you limit the galaxies supporting life to 64 that still leaves the issue of several societies with faster than light traveling vehicles or teleportation abilities. Add in a couple mutants who can survive in the vacuum of space, maybe a couple sets of magic wish balls, and it's only a matter of time before mortals are spread out too far for kais to keep track of. But even with enough kai, the god of destruction does not consult them when acting...an efficient system that aint.

Something interesting about this Toonami promo...

Seems that the Mr. Satan movie scene in DBZ Kai will be voiced by TFS, judging by the distinct Masako-X and Lanipator voices in that clip.

I'm super excited for the new arc but I really like these between arc eps too. Lots of fun moments in this one. Has goku always sounded like Donald duck when he snores?

It's less that the four cardinal Kaio are each in charge of an individual galaxy, and more that they're each in charge of 1/4 of the mortal universe.

I dunno, the Grand Kaiohshin and his 4 directional subordinates were all introduced well before the concept of the Kaiohshin : Hakaishin dependency even came about. You can be Doylist or Watsonian about this, but something has clearly changed about how Toriyama views the Gods in his setting.

I can confirm the existence of Female Broly fanart (based on the new character, not just a Rule 63 Broly).

Most genderbend broly is generally being a bit more slender then she shoulb e, even LSSJ form (but not Amazonian Beauty, smh) to having huge tits in replacement of his big pec muscles.

But official fem-broly is more Brawn Hilda-ish in appearance as opposed to someone like Power Girl or She Hulk.

Not bad, mind you. Its just interesting.

So, I've decided to dissect the trailer frame-by-frame, and go over all the Universes in order of appearance:

U?: purple skinned Kaioshin, black haired and fluffy God of Destruction, and a short, fat Angel wearing pink.

U?: short old Kaioshin with a beard, Cleopatra the God of Destruction, and a tall angel wearing greenish-yellow.

U?: short purple skinned Kaioshin with glasses(?), giant robot God of Destruction, and an Angel wearing red.

U?: pink skinned Kaioshin, tiny yellow fox(?) God of Destruction, and a tall Angel wearing dark red.

U6: lime skinned fat Kaioshin, Champa, and Vados.

U10: Gowasu, pink elephant God of Destruction, and a tiny Angel wearing purple.

U?: purple skinned Kaioshin, fox or jackal God of Destruction with two tails, and a tall Angel wearing brownish-green.

U?: short purple skinned Kaioshin, clown God of Destruction, an Angel with pigtails wearing dark blue, and a mysterious hooded figure standing in the back.

Actually about not all the Gods of destruction not seeming to be paired, didn't Beerus offer to make Goku the next for U7? So they might not be the originals if it can be passed down

Whis offered Goku the position when Beerus dies, and it is a legitimate possibility.

Then again, it was a joke. For all we know, Gods of Destruction are born from cabbage.

I mean, the connection between Kaioshin and Hakaishin can apparently be changed at will, seeing as how replacement Kaioshins are a thing.

Given the way Kaioshin are born, it's not exactly 'at will'.

Explain Zamasu then; the guy was being trained to become Gowasu's successor, which would have meant the connection to Ganesha would have been transferred over to him.

Actually, if Zamasu had become immortal after becoming the new Kaioshin, would Ganesha have become immortal too, or would he still be killable; how would killing him affect Zamasu then?

Zamasu does not run in any way counter to the information that came out about Kais being born from a tree. He's a Kaioshin. Presumably, he isn't born knowing everything and still needs training.
