Wait, is Cauly that human character in the Fighters roster behind Pink-lady and Hit? Close to Magetta.

Edit: That can't be, that human have googles.

Maybe the magazine was wrong? It wouldn't be the first time they got confused (Bergamo having poison, Toppo named Jiren, etc)

That the manga was portraying it as Bulma and Gohan getting their wish stolen, when they could have never have even made the wish to begin with; plus, if what you said in the Abridged thread is true, then none of the Z Fighters could have been brought back.

Oh, right - yeah, it doesn't work. That said, they could have wished Shenron to teleport one of them to New Namek (not saying they would have thought of that, I doubt Toyotarou or Toriyama would have).

I mean, doesn't help there are fans who seem to have forgotten that, and are pretty much blaming the Gang for fucking things over. This fandom sometimes...

I checked again, and, Coulifla brother does have a similar ponytail to Fembroly.

Maybe is really her? I hope next episode reveals more.

The way she was framed in the episode and dinos on the planet I hope she is one big Ayla reference.

She seems more like the U7 barbaric saiyans.

Also the one in the original shot was not wearing a justice uniform. I think her design just changed. As the magazine implied they were the same.

Piccolo calling Gohan out on his sloppiness in battle was nice. Also, nice burn there. "While you were being a nerd, I was training!". [lol] Oh Big Green.

I'm glad I've given up on trying to make sense of Super power levels, because with each episode they make less and less sense.

From what I've been told, Gohan's Ultimate Power is being treated like a transformation.

I've long since stopped trying to wrap my mind around the power levels at this point.

Unless you're a Yamcha fan that is.

Yamcha could actually be useful.

Nobody would be able to knock him out of the ring without killing him, which is a DQ.

[up][up]Goku eventually does recruit Yamcha!.........for the Tenkaichi Budokai. And after an impressive run at the prelims, gets annihilated in the first round. Which is against Vegeta. XD

[up]You're assuming that the only way to actually beat Yamcha is to kill him. That's assuming a lot, ya know.

No, I think his point was that any attack from the other competitors will kill him, even if it's not intended to.

If I recall correctly, Yamcha's only clean win was against a normal bloke who happened to be invisible (some people have said he cheated by using blood, but that was just to negate the cheating that the Fortuneteller did). Am I missing any other victories?

How is this still fun? Like, Handsome Rob bemoaning Yamcha abuse when it wasn't actually happening was annoying, but when it does start happening again isn't much better.

No, that was his only victory. Yamcha was the Proto-Vegeta, as in, the Jobber: He is defeated first to show how strong the new opponent is. Unlike Vegeta or Piccolo, he didn't defeat anyone.

At least Tien did have some really cool moments.

[up][up][up]Nope you're right.

The dude was invisible. Krillin sent Goku off to get Roshi and Bulma. While that was happening, Yamcha started to take back the edge by just using his other senses (like hearing) to track the Invisible Man's subtle movements. So Baba pulls a bitch move and starts singing to drown out the Invisible Man's noise.

This is when Goku gets back with Bulma and Roshi, and Krillin goes through with his plan: pull off Bulma's top in front of Roshi, causing him to get a nose bleed so big that it covers the invisible man and finally lets Yamcha get a proper bead on him.

[up][up]

Well, most of my original complaints were when people just started ripping on him out of nowhere. Like, they couldn't think of anything funny to say, so they just got lazy and went after Yamcha.

Now, I've more or less come to terms over it, and accepted things as they are (and even crack a few jokes myself).

Yamcha's only victory... UNTIL THE BASEBALL TOURNAMENT!

On the episode: these are my guesses on the Power Levels (or, at least, the apparent tiers for Gohan and Piccolo)

Base Gohan < SS1 Gohan < Weighted Piccolo < SS2 Gohan < Piccolo < Ultimate Gohan.

Also, Gohan's back, baby! And Ultimate is being treated like a transformation. That's a bit annoying.

It is being treated as a transformation, but one that seems to be triggered more by his state of mind that physical expression.

Eh. I don't care.
