Well Hits going down fighting at least. He saw first-hand how strong Jiren is & still without hesitation he chooses to fight against the man greater than God. Mad respect homes. (Chest bump) [awesome]

Hopefully his coat gets blown off so we can get some epic clothing damage.

[up] Not for the same reason (because she's like, 8), but I really hope something comes from Marron telling Trunks and Goten (or maybe it was 18 telling 17) to not underestimate her. Like if we get a mini arc where Marron turns out to be a pretty cappable fighter, I'm going to be so happy.

I don't think it's possible for a normal human to be very strong at 8 years old.

And I'm glad you clarified that your reasons were separate from my own. That would have been really awkward.

Though with the realization about 17 and 18's modifications being done via nanotechnology, I suppose it's possible for some of that to be passed down to Marron via blood or something, but I sincerely doubt that.

If they don't care about doing anything with Goten and Trunks I can't help but imagine that anything with Marron would just be treated as a joke.

[up] I still don't get that, I mean, trunks and goten are the ones they have the most freedom with, since they're mostly blank slates, adding in Marron and actually letting them AGE and they can basically have a whole new dynamic to work with.

I think it was 18 telling Krillin that their daughter is stronger than he thinks. Since 18's enhancements are mostly genetic and nanotechnology, it's not impossible that some of it could have been transferred to Marron through the umbilical cord while 18 was pregnant. Not to mention that Goten, Trunks, and Marron on the island was one of the most obvious set-ups for a Lower-Deck Episode I've ever seen. I'd honestly be surprised if it didn't come up again.

I think it's that Toriyama has no interest in that.

They are following his outline, so if he hasn't bothered with it, there's not too much they can do...

Then again, maybe it is Toei who's not bothering. I'm not sure how much influence they have on what he did, but after spending years pushing them out, suddenly characters like Krillin, Tien and Roshi are back in the spotlight, and I find it hard to believe he decided that on his own.

[up]

There are jokes that are obviously Toriyama, but I think a good chunk of the anime's humor is Toei-penned.

Likewise, if we DO have an episode on the kiddoes on 17's island, it'd be mostly done by Toei.

I'll be disappointed if a Goten, Trunks, and Marron episode isn't in the most inappropriate place possible. Like, the episode prior better end with a cliffhanger involving a universe getting deleted and Jiren beating the crap out of Goku.

[up][up][up]

I don't even know if Toriyama was purposely doing that stuff with Yamcha. I just think he needed a fall guy, and Yamcha was perfect. Then he wanted Vegeta to marry Bulma and just broke the already established relationship. It feels less like targeting the character and more like every time he needed to do a specific thing in the story, it just happened to be something that screwed Yamcha over, and he didn't care enough to stop or something like that.

I don't know if Marron training to become a fighter is gonna become a thing in Super. Fan fiction maybe but not in Super.

I hope the Goten, Trunks, and Marron episode happens right after a cliffhanger involving the last member of Universe 7 on the verge of being eliminated with no fight left in their body. The episode itself is a light-hearted, goofy romp as the kids fight poachers and Marron reveals that she's actually super strong. The episode ends with the kids, the families, and all the characters back in U7 getting erased from existence.
