It's possible that both Quitela and Vermoud have beaten Beerus in arm-wrestling matches.

On Ribrianne: even finding her design off-putting doesn't mean it's for shallow reasons like wanting her to be attractive. I just don't think it's a good design.

Also, the entire joke is that she's a magical girl who becomes very unattractive when she transforms. Call other people unfair if you want but know that the creation of her character is going with "fat = unnattractive".

I don't think her design is good, but it's not why I dislike her. Her joke is very shallow, she's been extremely one-note, has taken up a lot of focus despite doing nothing interesting and not being very effective at all. The joke with her, and the whole parody, has been driving so deep into the fucking ground Might Guy would be jealous.

At this point, she's just obnoxious.

I'm quite aware of this, but it's a very uncommon distinction for me to run into so forgive me if I sound generalizing.

I don't mind her design, its the kind of weirdness you find in DB after all. Not everyone can be as handsome as Perfect Cell after all. tongue

My issue with her is she doesn't shut the fuck up. I hate those characters that constantly blather on & on & on about shit like she & Helles has been doing.

Like we get it your into beauty & love but fucking Hell be creative with it or shut up. (facepalm.)

So the popular theory seems to be that Frieza is going to give some of his energy to Goku, like he did to him on Namek.

I'm curious where Frieza genuinely betraying them instead of fake-out doing it for shits and giggles comes in.

Freeza being a traitor was common fandom speculation, and the moment for it passed a few weeks ago.

Frieza is more of a team player right now than Vegeta.

I think Frieza's just scouting to see which side is most opportune to play. If Universe 7 is too detrimental, he has no problem jumping ship. If they have a chance of winning, he'll stick with them.

Didn’t Krillin, Tien, and Roshi break the rules by giving Goku energy despite already being eliminated? Or is this one of those “it’s cool so it’s fine that it breaks the rules” things?

Ribrianne's allies also gave her energy immediately beforehand, so apparently its something that'll just be ignored.

Ribrianne is one of my favorite new characters of this arc. Anyone saying she's annoying needs to take a good, hard look at themselves and ask if their opinion would be different if she looked more like her untransformed state. If it would, their opinion is invalid.

This was pages ago but I just read and, I mean, not really? There are a lot of reasons to dislike/find Ribrianne annoying. People have been explaining them for weeks now.

But even assuming the dislike is purely about her design, that's not somehow invalid. Characters can have shitty designs. A lot of the problems people complain about would still be their even if she was still conventionally "attractive".

Those people are different from the guys whose problems with her stem from her weight, and they do exist.

I really hope the rest of this climax is just going up.

Man this shit is the most hype DB has gotten in years.

Oh, I'm aware. I'm just saying that Pushover's attempt to frame things as "there are no real reasons to dislike here, just sexism and fatshaming" is flawed, because people keep explaining why they dislike her.

And I glossed over the comment before because I had a lot of catching up to do.

Can't Hit grow stronger during the match as he fights an equal or superior opponent?

Oh, and apparently Jiren also has a dear wish or something. Everyone keeps talking like they only expect one person to be left standing. Like, we as the audience probably are supposed to think that, but it's kind of weird for the characters to be taking that as a given.

I hope we see how strong Toppo is soon. All we know for sure is that he's probably stronger than Super Saiyan Blue and definitely weaker than Jiren by a lot. Most seem to be assuming that he's around Kaiokenx2, but I'm hoping he's more than that. Maybe x4 or so, something that gives meat to his placement as stronger than Blue.

And I'm sure those people would be devastated to know that.

[up]Toppo stronger than Blue? That's a first. Goku was beating him like a drum when he went Blue during their scuffle.

They finished their fight in a stand-off with Toppo releasing all of his power and Goku using Kaioken Blue, so the implication is there.

Now I wonder what Jiren's wish is.

Hopefully its something very noble & righteous.
