They've both been eliminated now. Lets just wait for U6 to die now.

I know that one of the writers loves Caulifla and Kale, if the trivia page is to go by.

Ha ha ha. What a story, Mark.

Having some degree of favoritism towards the characters you create and write for is always going to happen. Its just a part of the profession. I can attest to that...even if I wouldn't call myself 'professional' in the slightest.

For maximum Tear Jerker I bet the Namekians' elimination will be really douchey, such as a cheap shot from Frieza or the Invisibugs.

In before Frieza goes to torture the Namekians while reminiscing about the good old days.

A full month spent on these 2. At least there can be progress now.

I have no idea why but I have a gut feeling that either Vegeta will eliminate Frieza, or they'll take each other out. Since Vegeta likes U6, Frieza getting them erased would be a good opportunity for that to happen.

Also, Ultra Instinct already has a flaw. Goku was too busy putting all of his points into evasion that he neglected strength.

[up][up][up] It is 300 percent sexism about Caulifla and Kale.

You can just as easily turn around and say that people use accusations of sexism to deflect legitimate criticism against them.

I'm sure when you're looking at anonymous comments on Youtube and the like you'll see a lot of sexism. But that is the really low hanging fruit.

I don't even dislike Caulifa and Kale. They're just nothing interesting or entertaining about them to me.

I mean the only thing that made them interesting is that they are the first official female Super Saiyans & homaging a popular villain.

But thats the thing, their still Saiyans & Saiyans have long since been played out.

It's certainly not all sexism and there is certainly legitimate criticism regarding them but god damn I've read some disgusting things.

There's certainly going to be sexism from some people. Dragon Ball is too large and too old a fanbase for those types to not exist.

This is a decades old shonen franchise about men beating the shit outta each other.

Sexism is a given sadly enough.

I mean, Toriyama could be pretty sexist himself. Remember that short manga he did that was essentially about how rape is hilarious and women are all dumb sluts that secretly want to be prostitutes?

Daisuki (or, at least, its Dragon Ball Super remnants) has the subbed Episode 116 available for those interested.

As a side note, here's the memorial message, translated by Herms:

"Hiromi Tsuru-san, who voiced the character “Bulma” in the Dragon Ball TV anime franchise for many years, has passed away.

Tsuru-san gave her courage and kindness to countless people of all ages, and we sincerely pray that she rests in peace."

I love the Saiyan girls, and I have since their introduction. Their relationship is really sweet and dynamic and I like their characters and designs. I'd say that I like both of them (and them combined) more than Cabba, and Cabba's pretty great.

I think it would have been nice if they had to work for the super saiyan forms rather than just getting them.

Or if they had more female saiyans so that we could have had a female super saiyan years earlier, then maybe it wouldn't have seemed like favouritism.
