Okay, my comment was a little tongue-in-cheek. I was just pointing out how Kale and Caulifla are eliminated and therefore have absolutely no importance to the tournament whatsoever in the future while U3 is still in the tournament. Even a small amount of importance is better than zero.

Not everyone in the world cares as much about those things as Americans do, so I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't even cross their mind that someone could take it such way.

"America is the only country that cares about sexism" is one hell of a take.

Not to mention is it also something of a fallacy.

[up][up] That's not what was said, just that some countries definitely care less than America does. And some IMO care quite a bit more.

It is? Why thank you for your kind words, no one ever called my though on anything an "one hell of a take". It's nice to be appreciated.

And the funny thing is, I didn't even notice I was saying something like that! I guess my profundity sometimes flies over my own head!

So is it weird that I want Xenoverse 3 to do something with the reincarnated as Yamcha story? Also, if any game DOES do something with that story, do you think Yamcha'd have a different voice?

Oh, that'd be great. Reincarnated Yamcha and Reincarnated Chiaotzu can be their own characters as powerful costumes of Yamcha and Chiaotzu (though they'd have to actually add Chiaotzu to the game first...).

[up]Seems likely, they already used up most of the other small time characters like Nail and Videl. Roshi can't fly so unless they start bringing in characters who can't fly beside's Hercule, Chiaotzu seems like the best bet. I do hope they change up how they do the story though. Let's have the next villain mess with time by putting others in places and times where they don't belong, like the Ginyu force showing up in Satan City to fight Gohan and Ginyu swapping bodies with someone in that time. Or putting Cell on Namek, let's go super crazy this time.

Honestly, I just want some time problems that don't just focus on beating up the bad guy, but stronger.

Like, have Goku go SS3 in the Majin Vegeta fight. That's a tangible and logical difference that would force you onto the other side of the conflict.

You could also have Raditz throw out an artifical moon. Made doubly terrible when Gohan breaks out.

Personally I think they should just do away with the arc format and go full Heroes/Online.

It wouldn't be too hard to do the Reincarnated as Yamcha story in Xenoverse, it'd probably be fun too.

[up] Having the Demon Realm story from Heroes in Xenoverse would be neat. Lots of neat concepts such as the various Demon Gods, the suped-up villains that aren't just purple, and the Time Patrol versions of the Z-Fighters. All that plus a few more stuff from around the franchise would make Xenoverse 3 a hoot!

Dragonball Wiki is dubbing this the "Sliding Kamehameha."

10/10, would Ultra Instinct again

Begone, thot!

"The best Kamehameha in years!"

Damn, he hit that n-ga so hard it replayed three different times!

DB fans: Boo! There's no longer any strong female characters. They all got turned into boring housewives!

later

DB fans: Boo! This female is too strong! Bullshit power levels! F*ck this! How can she be strong enough to challenge Goku?!

He's skating on Kefla's blast with a Kamehame... OKAY DRAGON BALL

They may call that whatever they want, but I shall forever call the move Kefla used "Double Christmas".

Get it, 'cause it's like Raditz's Double Sunday, but it's red and green swirling.

Here's another video from MasakoX, starting off about everyone's favourite tri-clops, but also going into two other characters:

This video is interesting because we know Toriyama can do longer arcs: Vegeta's arc spans the entirety of Z, and even Piccolo, despite not having much to do now, had one.

There's also Krillin to an extent, who has that desire for a girlfriend and wife until he finally meets 18.

I think that the problem is that, due to how he writes, Toriyama doesn't really think long term about the characters. They basically just fill spots that need to be filled the vast majority of the time, or are there for a Brick Joke (like Chi-chi) or a Running Gag.

I Had more to say, but unfortunately I forgot what it was, so I'll end things here.

Did it bother anyone else a little that Kafla's eyes were drawn rounded at the top while she was in Super Saiyan when Kale, Caulifla, and base Kafla's eyes were all drawn as diamonds?

That list is kinda weird, being incomplete in weird ways, and having some questionable placements. And the format is just hard to read.

So, Goku, Vegeta, 18, Krillen and Tien are about where we would expect them to be. Piccolo and Gohan are stronger, but not to an unexpected degree. Roshi and Majin Buu are much stronger than expected and 17 is wtf stronger.

I just realized that since the tournament of power is a one match team based elimination match it really isn't a tournament, it's classical a tourney, only more extreme, given there are eight teams and the price of failure is death, rather than just a risk of dying.

Yes, I'm calling you out on this. Address them as "Krill-dog" and "Freeza-dono," or not at all.

[up][up][up]Well when power levels are as undefined as they are in super, a lot of it is going to be based on gut feelings.

Anyway, Kafla for Fighter Z please.
