@slimcoder: "Why did he blow up the Time Chamber?" Because then the characters could stick Buu in there until he's done sleeping, obviously.

Oh wait, you wanted an in-universe explanation.

What I don't get is why anyone thinks they can refuse to enter this tournament.

Universal Erasure should be more than enough to motivate someone to enter. What matters money compared to that? And as for Krillin, yeah Goku lying was a bit of a dick move, but you're willing to let the universe get annihilated over that? That's... I don't know how many billions of times more a dick move, Krillin. Never thought I'd say it, but it seems Beerus's threatening of people with destruction was actually useful for once.

But on a positive note, female Super Saiyans are here! Was that really so hard to design, Toriyama!? I'm a little bugged that Caulifla just seemingly bypassed the rage requirement though.

Doesn't Whis have a pocket dimension where time moves faster they could stick Buu in

Personally, I'm kinda glad Goku's decision to recruit Frieza was more a sudden bout of inspiration during almost literally a few hours before the deadline rather than an actual premeditated decision. Still doesn't excuse the fact he's recruiting space Hitler.

Also, anyone else here thinks Toriyama added the bit involving Vegeta blowing up the Time Chamber to preemptively prevent an easy means of waking Buu up?

Plus, my favorite segements by far are the interludes to the other universes. From the looks of things, the lesser seen universes are shaping up to have some truly badass fighters on there side, with 11 and 6 having nice development as well. From the looks of thing, a massive 11 way tie could actually be possible!

.......I say 11 way because, real talk, there's no way U9 is going to win this at all. XD

I did say that, but to be fair, it was the last post of the previous page.

So, having watched the ep, I don't think Krillin was 100% serious about not entering. It seemed like he was just venting mostly. Beerus just jumped the gun and played the I'll destroy you card before he got a chance to admit he'd still fight anyway.

Interesting to learn that Super Saiyan energy is apparently felt as a tingling sensation in your upper back.

The top fighter from Universe 3 (Nigrisshi) looks pretty cool, but it seems weird all the U3 fighters are getting modifications after Beerus got so antsy over Androids 17/18, and Frost was warned not to bring his poison darts.

I do like the opposing themes the twin universes seem to be going for. The Superheroes of 11 are paired with the Magical Girls of 2, while the flesh loving muscleheads of 10 are paired with the modified techgeeks of 3.

The preview: Hey, I recognize that Universe 4 fighter with the hat from the opening. Frieza is asking a high price for his cooperation? Revival is my first thought, but who knows. And Wen Kale? Now Kale.

It is being dubbed. As for where to watch legally, Idunno. Crunchyroll? Funimation's website?

@Dark Hunter.

It's not like Goten and Trunks needed anger for their transformation either. There's precedent.

Anyway... I loved how Caulifla charging her ki blast was similar to how Broly charges his Eraser Cannon.

Fine, fine.

Super on Funimation. Only enough, they don't have to dub available. I... have no idea why.

Super on CR. Subbed because CR vary rarely has the rights to the dubs.

But seriously, why is Super's dub not available for streaming on their website?

Probably Toei being Toei.

I'm guessing that one of Toei's stipulations is that it not be available for streaming online, cause they want TV viewership.

I mean, he was able to speed up Bulma's pregnancy with Bra by a few months.

I was under the impression that Bra was due any day, and all Whis did was teleport her outside Bulma's body.

A little bit dissappointed that the others calling out Goku for lying to them didn't go on for a bit longer. Wanted Tien and Vegeta to call out Goku almost as much as Krillin called out Goku personally.

I'm glad that they finally made female Super Saiyans canon. It's been something fans have been wanting for decades now.

As far as Caulifla bypassing the rage requirement to activate the initial transformation, it could be explained either two ways:

1.) It's been established that Saiyans from Universe 6 have a different physiology than Saiyans from Universe 7. It could be that, although rage does activate the initial transformation, it's actually not a requirement for Universe 6 Saiyans and that it's all about focusing their ki a certain way.

2.) Caulifla was described as an incredibly gifted Saiyan. It could be that she simply figured out a way to bypass the rage prerequisite and brute force the initial transformation trigger.

I don't care why they can do it. It's not relevant to me.
