There's "bodybuilder" and there's "rampaging steroid monster." Broly and Kale fall into the latter.

I wonder if she'll have a murder-crush on Caulifa too.

And there's Frieza's motivation for joining. Revenge against Universe 9.

Yeah. Mentioned Goku going to hell to recruit Frieza. I guess I didn't look closely enough.

Edit: Oh. Now I see it. It was on the side.

Cause they tried to screw out of getting revived I'd imagine.

Those two things tend to overlap a lot more than most would like to admit.

Well, Broly, yeah, but from the art I've seen posted, LSSJ Kale's build isn't that ridiculous for a female bodybuilder.

I just love that there's a woman with a non-standard body type, even if it's "just" in a transformation.

I mean, the fact that the transformation is Super Saiyan is a bonus.

Or maybe the non-standard body type's a bonus to a woman Super Saiyan.

Either way.

Counting Kale and Ribrianne, we have two.

So, if the Universe 7 gang reference Broly and that Kale looks like him when transformed. Like. What does that do to the concept of "canon"? Hypothetically? If that happens?

Not much for muscle women, but even I can appreciate the uniqueness of her design. For Dragonball, it's something new and all.

Gonna be interesting to see what she can do. This is Toriyama's first shot at a female Super Saiyan, so I'm hoping he does her justice.

Thing is, I'm hoping they don't all just fade into the background after the tournament is over due to living in another universe & all.

Universe hopping adventures would be fun.

Man, it would be funny if after all this talk on teamwork and tactics, giving every team member an episode or two, introducing all those characters from other universes, it turned out none of that matters, because the whole tournament just comes down to Goku vs Jiren. tongue

Except a lot would have to happen to get to that point.

What are you referring to? Because having a muscular woman isn't a bad thing and like others said, it makes her stand out.

I don't know if it means much, but at the very least Xenoverse 1 and 2 have been treating the first two Broly movies as canon, which leads me to believe that the DB Universe considers them canon as well seeing as Xenoverse directly calls out non-canon material as being from an alternate universe/timeline or whatever.

It's not like the movies contradict anything either, so I really don't see how they couldn't be canon.

Xenoverse treats everything as canon via alternate timelines, it's not exactly a good benchmark.

Broly can technically fit in but it still runs into issues like forgetting Cell exists or acting as if Goku is suppossed to be stronger than Gohan at the time.

The movies are there own thing and there really is point trying to intergrate them into the main story.

[up][up] I mean, it treats GT and a lot of the movies as alternate timelines, that could have happened but didn't because that'd be dumb. [nja]
