Why why why do you keep doing this? He obviously didn't mean it literally, he meant he was showing it to Gohan. Just an idiom

[up][up] Thats what I was adressing. Like I said it could be something he's saying because of something he knows that others don't, or just a catchphrase he gives to people he fights before defeating them.

Or he's blindly optimistic.

And I do hope he makes good on that promise.

On the subject of the latest episode, did anyone else kind of like Borareta?

I know we're not supposed to care about anyone not from U6, U7 or U11, but I found the little guy to be pretty endearing, from its (very) brief appearance. I like its tank-esque design, I think its voice is pretty cute, and it was impressive how it managed to keep Gohan on the defensive.

I loved the very little amount of time he was on-screen. I remember being happy during that scene. He was very endearing as a simple battlebot. It's just unfortunate that Magetta got eliminated before he could have a face-off with one of U3's actual robots.

Yeah, agreed. Would've been interesting seeing an actual robot square off against a Mechanical Lifeform.

On a related note, I've heard someone on Reddit theorize that Paparoni will order the remaining four robots on his team to combine into one Humongous Mecha. Now that, I'd love to see.

I don't think Biarra combining is likely, since it has a very strong figure with normally proportions to its limbs and body. I could see Borareta, Pancea, and Koitsukai combine, becoming the legs, body, and arms+head respectively.

Anyone else find the "Better than the anime" comments after the new manga chapter humurous?

I find the quicker pace and god fights better than what happened in the anime.

On another note, some people have found it funny (or complained) about Caulifla upstaging Cabba, but then I realized, Cabba is Vegeta's (unwanted) protegee, whereas Caulifla is looking to be Goku's more willingly. Of course Goku's student upstages Vegeta's.

She's the tacked on Broly expy, that's the only counterpart she needs. Thinking about it now, I'm not sure what she or Caulifla could do now.

I've warmed up to the idea that Kale is not only Broly's, but a full-breed Saiyan counterpart to Gohan:

  • Her base form's personality and power is more akin to Kid/Youth Gohan because it's actually who she is, rather than an imposed facade like Broly's own was. Rage boosts changes that drastically.
  • Super also hammers the point home with two mirroring instances: A satisfied Caulifla holding a smiling unconscious Kale (in the vain of the aftermath between Ultimate Gohan vs SSJ Blue Goku) and that Mentor/Mentee Full Power Energy Wave that the U6 girls used against Kahersal's squadron (mirroring the Father/Son Kamehameha Wave).

In fact, I think the opportunity of a Gohan and Kale interaction could be intriguing, at least. Kale's still under Satellite Character status with Caulilfa being her only meaningful connection. Maybe they could bond of their guardian's knack for degrading them for an adrenaline high?

On the other hand, "GokuXBroly" may or may not be canon now. :P


Speaking of, with a grain of salt, Toshio tweeted in July that he wrote an upcoming episode with the Saiyan Delinquents that has yet to air. Oct 29's "Fighting Maniac Saiyan Battle" might be it. (Again, hoping "Vegeta's Protegee" shows his face here...)

Oh hey, it looks like Damom is on the 2018 Dragonball Calendar that was just released and... Is he THAT tiny? I'm guessing it's artistic fiat, but as presented, he's barely bigger than the green pattern on Ribrianne's dress (he's on the same page as her).

There was a rumor going around that they were ant-sized, and a lot of the people saying it were really confident in its veracity, but I never saw a link to anything official saying it so I dismissed it. Looks like it may have been accurate. I like it, we haven't seen a truly tiny character in Dragon Ball since Bulma with her short-lived shrink-watch.

Also, the Egyptian lady is Helles. You know, one of the Gods of Destruction? Specifically, the one of U2, the same universe as Ribrianne? She's in like every other episode?

If they're ant-sized that explains why you can't see them, but then why can't they be sensed, not even by the Destroyers and the GodPad?

Tenshinhan sensed them a little bit, so maybe their Ki is just really faint because of their size. Hell, maybe they ARE on the GodPad screens and they take up, like, a single pixel.
