I do feel there's something going on with the Grand Priest. And with the way Zen'o acts I won't be surprised if and when he does change his mind and decide not to delete the other universes. Because the alternative is way too dark even for Dragonball.

Maybe at the end of the tournament someone just goes "how about not destroying the universes so we can do this again some day?" and bratking goes "oh hey that's a good idea" and that's the end.

Future Trunks' timeline hasn't had U7 or U10 nuked more than a decade after the time this arc would take place.

So...

So Zeno forgot about it for a decade or 3, they said Goku reminded him of it, a couple decades is a drop in the bucket for gods.

So from what I understand, when Pilaf wished to be young, they not only became young physically but also mentally despite keeping their memories. So have the maturity level of kids. That would make Trunk's relationship with Mai less creepy.

[up][up][up][up]Actually, not the end. I agree with Soble that the Grand Priest is up to something. Maybe when someone actually points out about not destroying the universe so that they can another tournament in the future, the Grand Priest comes in and starts to reconvince Zen'O otherwise to go through with destroying all the losing universes before someone comes in tries to stop him.

I mean, the Pilaf gang would be robbing the cradle, relatively speaking, with just about anyone.

Really though, that Mai has managed to be relevant is honestly the most amazing thing her character has achieved.

But the grand scheme happens to be the whim of a innocent all powerful god and not anything actually important.

So, I was checking out the Memetic Loser section, and it came to our favourite desert bandit.

And then I saw this line:

Ironically the author is actually a fan of Yamcha.

...BULLSHIT!!!!

Right. I no longer believe Toriyama hates Yamcha or anything, but I find it hard to believe any author would do to a character what Toriyama has done to Yamcha if they liked him. Unless it's one of those I enjoy making them suffer that has no maliciousness in it.

Sorry to come back to this discussion, but I just find it hard to believe.

I could see it.

People tend to forget that Toriyama is first and foremost a comedy writer, so having Yamcha be the frequent Butt-Monkey of jokes and liking him are not mutually exclusive.

In other words, Yamcha's suffering makes for good jokes, and Toriyama shows some favoritism by including him in so many jokes, is what I'm trying to get at.

I wish he'd cared as much about him for fights as he did jokes.

But I guess that ends that discussion.

I got this idea for an episode that is pretty much Yamcha comes to the Briefs for a visit for whatever reason & then the rest of the episode is Vegeta trying to kill him because through a bunch of wacky & hilarious circumstances lead him to believe that Yamcha's trying to put the moves on Bulma.

... Would never work. If at any point Vegeta wants Yamcha dead, Yamcha's so dead I can't even begin to describe it even using the word Cadaverific.

At this point if Vegeta just stares at Yamcha for a prolonged period, he'll expode.

Nah, Piccolo's the one that can kill you by glaring at you.

Vegeta causes explosions from out of nowhere, but he needs to flex his fingers to do it.

Pfft, you all thinking jokes need to make sense. I think that ship sailed with the whole "Goku's never kissed Chichi" bit, and probably some other things I don't remember right now.

So i've been taking some visual design lessons, and I learned about the geometrical theory: a circle can make a character look good, a square make it look serious or strong, and a triangle make it look evil.

While Goku Black design doesn't scream evil according to this theory (mostly to keep with his imposter persona), his eyes are more square looking than Goku's, and Zamasu clothes make his figure look triangular, making it obvious he was going to be the bad guy.

I've been checking the Gods of destruction designs, and the geometrical squares are, pretty much circles. The only God that looks evil or like a jerk is Universe 8 God of Destruction, with his lean design looking triangular, his closed eyes, his thin neck, and triangular eyes. Also, he has a triangle on his neck-thing. Vermoud and Sidra, by comparison, are circles.

His assistant looks fairly stoic too, not emoting much during the brief moments he appears. He has more of a square design, so it implies seriousness.

So... is Universe 8 evil?

Also, I don't like Super Saiyan Blue in the manga. Toyotaro treats it as a less stupid looking Super Saiyan 3.

So I'm not sure how in doubt this was but we have confirmation that despite being the leader of the Pride Troopers, Toppo is weaker than Jiren and Toppo is about even with Goku.

I've been thinking. Doctor Gero never sent one of his mosquito sized camera bots to Namek.

What if he had?

The idea of Cell obtaining abilities like Guldo's Time freeze and perfecting it into basically The World would be effing terrifying.

Or even better, mimicking the Namekian fusion so that he could fuse with another version of himself for added power.

So...

Even beyond that, Gowasu and Zamasu went a thousand years into the future with time rings and Universe 10 was still fine.

[up]A huge boost in power but drains stamina quickly, as opposed to the anime where it's very Ki efficient.
