At least Yamcha is smack dab near the middle of the Suffering chart◊. ;)

I'm surprised Sasuke , Sakura and Gaara are all on the chart, but not actually Naruto or even Obito for that matter.

I really liked this episode Vegeta and Roshi teaming up to fight Frost and Magetta was really good, and both Vegeta and Roshi pulled their weight within their capabilities. Maji=Kayo is awesome and Jiren is Saitama. Episode felt a tad short, though, since a bit of it was spent recapping who's left.

[up]Now I'm disappointed the sub didn't rename him to Rilli, or something.

He'll probably be renamed Sirius Lee.

Also, the people who are only watching the dub just got to Frost KOing Goku and the reactions are glorious. Makes me think back to when we first got to that point.

Has the dub ever outright renamed a character, aside from Mr. Satan -> Hercule and Muten Roshi -> Master Roshi?

One of the hick boys from the Junior Tournament was renamed Laem so that the pun would still work.

What an episode! I actually preferred how Roshi was portrayed here over his spotlight episode. The old man went out like a champ.

And lol at Cabba's slide into irrelevance being neatly illustrated by the team recap group shot.

Depends on what you consider an outright change. Some names are changed pretty significantly while still being based on the original name, but the Muten Roshi change isn't as extreme as say, Tenshinhan to Tien.

King Kai is in the same position as Master Roshi, and Supreme Kai is even more of a drift.

I don't think any Super characters have had their names changed, though, unless you count the video games' bizarre insistence on using Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan. Maji=Kayo is probably going to be changed simply because it's a pun that doesn't translate unless you change his name.

It's like how Bloomer turning into Bulma completely ruined the joke of Goku laughing at her name.

I've noticed that Universe 6 and 7 are more or less even in numbers. I feel that's going to have some sort of plot significance. Also, Frost is more of a sneaky motherfucker than Team Universe 4 combined, which is entirely sneaky motherfuckers. He very nearly got both Vegeta and Roshi knocked out.

I feel the reveal that Frost was evil was planned for a team-up between him and Frieza. They work excellently with one another

[up][up] I mean, there was really nothing stopping Toriyama from just naming it Godly Super Saiyan or True Super Saiyan God; hell, there was really no reason why it couldn't have still been the normal yellow color, but with the same style of aura that it had in Resurrection F, i.e. the more flame-like waves.

The video games using SSGSS is probably because that was the original name we got, and Blue was created as a nickname in-universe.

To be fair, I'm pretty sure it was only ever called that in promotional material; Goku and Vegeta never referred to it by that name in the original movie, and in Super it was only ever called that in Toyotaro's manga, and that was simply used as set-up for the new name of Super Saiyan Blue.

[up][up] The yellow aura of that hypothetical Godly Super Saiyan would probably have had the sparkles and lightning parts in it as well.

Poor Cabba.

Poor Cabba indeed. As soon as we got introduced to more marketable new sayians he got reduced to a third string fodder. Poor guy just can't compete with Yandere Broly and Super Sayian Waifu.

Just saw the most recent episodes. They leave me conflicted. One reminds me of how much I really liked the idea of Frost truly being a good guy, the other gives Frost a really nice showing as a love-to-hate despicable bad guy.

Next time has whatever Freeza's up to at least start to pay off, with Gohan fighting against the world's chilliest tag team. Since Frost has been played a lot more than Freeza in the tournament, my guess is it ends with Frost out and Freeza still in for the moment.

Tien, Fangs (all of Baba's fighters have a different name IIRC) and Shen, the last one is the name of Tsurusennin in the dub. The funny thing is Shen is the name Kami uses when he participates in the 23rd tournament not sure if the dub keeps the name or changes it.

Another thing: episode 107 gave us our first look at Pirina and Saoneru. Well, our first look at more than just their faces. Not much to really say, though. Pirina's buff and Saoneru is less buff, no surprise there, we assumed that from their head structures. Interesting that they're wearing the exact same style of clothing.

Pretty cool episode, though I found it questionable that Frost was able to use the Evil Containment Wave Reflection after only seeing the Mafuba once. Yeah, the same applied for Goku using the Kamehameha, but that's a much less complicated move.

Pretty great episode overall tbh. It almost made you think Frost had one.

For those interested, all the Gods of Destruction attacks in Dragon Ball Heroes.

All things considered, i really liked how Roshi was used in this tournament.
