[up]Pretty much yeah.

Goku is the Roman Reigns / John Cena of the Tournament of Power.

He's gonna get booed no matter what he does.

[up]×4

Right, Bergamo did it in such a way that made the fight more interesting for Zen'o.

[up] Roman Reigns maybe, but John Cena does get cheered.

Roman gets boo'd, Cena gets dueling chants, that's an important difference.

Hey, hey here's something funny:

Remember when we all talked about that figurine of 18 where they gave her a humongous fanservice pack? Where she got basketball tits, a bubble butt & was leaning down to show off her enourmaous cleavage? Well they made another one, this time in her second outfit, heheh. tongue

Here's a link to it. What ya all think?

They also apparently did two figurines of Bulma & I'd be lying if I said I wasn't interested in seeing them.

Can someone did those up? I wanna see what they look like.

Well, that's certainly a clear-cut case of "sex sells" if I ever saw it.

Which is funny, because that's never really been thing in Dragonball.

Bulma is the bustiest female in the series, and I'd say she's pretty tame compared to how crazy some anime can get over it.

Yeah the art style never really goes for exaggerated sexiness.

The only time when peoples bodies get crazy are the guys when they bulk up as shown Goku vs. Vegeta or Vegeta & Trunks vs. Cell. The latter battle basically had body-builders kicking ass.

Well, that looks grotesque. The poses make the terrible proportions even more noticeable.

Out of morbid curiosity, I Googled MegaHouse figurines to see what the Bulma one looks like.

Somehow it's even more exaggerated and sexualized than either of the 18 ones. That's... wow.

...aren't the Bulma ones based on stuff she wore in the Dragon Ball anime?

Fair enough, I suppose. Still exaggerated, though.

Though, there is a cute figurine of Goku kissing Chi-Chi.

Anyone find the god system in Dragonball messed up? Beerus and Champa are outright sociopaths (not outright villains, but that's still a scary thought), the angels who are stronger than them are so calm and practically unempathetic that Whis and Vados don't care at all the universe they're a part of and in the former's case the closest thing he has to a friend could die, and Top God Zen'o is a Psychopathic Manchild. Sure the Gods of Creation are good except for a certain Satanic Archetype and kind of Roh, but given they're only fraction the strength of who they're supposed to balance...I thought this was Dragonball, not Greek mythology

Nobody in Dragon Ball ever cares about anything...so it's all good.

Guys, it's been some time since I've stopped watching Dragon Ball Super. I think that may have happened because of the ending of the Trunks arc, that is pretty much a full blown downer ending in my eyes and only managed to alienate me from the anime until now.

The thing is, I've been rearing about the newest arc, the so awaited tournament, but the more I read about it the more I wonder if I should actually give it a shot. This new classic Goku Toriyama is talking about in the interviews looks like a selfish jerk (even if I think calling him a full blown villain might be an exaggeration), the more time it passes the less I can sympathise with the Zeno (I can't blame people for not wanting to be friends with them if they think destroying planets is a cheerful playtime) and now they came up with a tournament whose purpose is to erase universes because they think there are way too many.

Suddenly, I feel like I'm not that invested in the universe anymore and that's sad. I was really looking forward to this arc, but it looks like if I start watching it I will just get more of the same thing that happened at the end of the Trunks arc. I don't want to start liking characters just to see them get killed by the ending and it looks like the setting is becoming way too dark for my tastes. What do you guys think?

[up]X4 Yeah. That's what really gets to me.

Why are the Kaioshin's so weak compared to the Gods of Destruction?

I mean, it's not like the latter can kill the former anyway, since they have a life link. It seems like the Kaioushins are just weaker just because.

To be fair, we don't know whether Universe 10's God of Destruction was stronger than Zamasu, and the Kais we do have for reference aren't exactly the shining examples of their kind's potential strength.

I've been wondering if the balance between Creation and Destruction tips one way or another depending on the universe. Or even, as the God of Destruction position seems to be given by appointment rather than birth, based on who has the job at any given time.

The Hakaishin are chosen among the strongest mortals, since their job requires them to be the strongest of their respective universe. Strength isn't as needed for creating stuff. Like the Namekian warrior clan and the dragon clan, one punches people, the other do magic tricks.
