Why did Vegeta just throw the senzu beans to future Mai instead of the guy with a fist sized hole where his kidneys used to be?

Also wow I am bored silly.

It's still completely nonsensical that the pink elephant wasn't involved in any way, shape, or form.

I get why his future self couldn't help, but his present self should've been in the thick of things.

The Black Arc had a lot of good stuff, but then they started to drag things out. A lot.

I'm not really sure what could have been done to make it better, though, short of making the second trip to the future the final battle.

The manga only had two trips to the future, which is one of the few improvements made in that version.

Also, reopening the can of worms that is the Mafuba was a terrible idea. What were they thinking by reminding us that it not only exists, but should in theory even work on a supreme kai?

I mean Old Kai got sealed into a ring, so that's not far-fetched.

There is also the part where Roshi should had died after using th eMafuba so many times but you know they forgot about that part.

@Arha The manga adds limitations to the Mafuba to make it less of a can of worms for the rest of the series and justify that they don't bring it out more often.

I'm okay with it coming back in a way that addreses why it went away in the first place. Like how the anime explained that Kaio-ken and Super Saiyan just don't splice right before they proceeded to fuck it up further

Ya know I can't help but shed a tear whenever I think about all the fallen universes.

Call me emotional its just how I feel. I rather miss the wolf bros & U6.

[up][up]Agreed. U4's erasure has been the only one that wasn't super sad so far, and even that one had Quitela threatening to destroy everyone out of panicked desperation. If U3 and U11 go out as well as U6 and U2 did, the Universal Survival Saga will run away with the award for "most heart-wrenching Dragon Ball storyline".

By the way, why were people saying Black should be listed as Wicked Cultured? Neither he nor Zamasu are. All they do is drink tea sometimes and only then mostly because Gowasu asked him to brew some. There's no mention of art or high culture of any kind. Looking at the trope page, they aren't witty or sarcastic either and have no sense of humor.

Also, their goal is to destroy all intellect besides their own, thus destroying anything like art or culture in the process in order to bring about a universe with nothing but nature in it. How does this in any way fit the trope?

I mean did we really expect 18 to stay around for long? Especially since she's been the most ineffectual member ever...like honestly, how many times has she needed to be bailed out?

I feel bad for 18.

Constantly needed to be bailed out & while it was kinda cool her biggest moment involved her using the power of love.

I'm guessing from there it'll go 17, Gohan, Frieza, and Vegeta with Goku winning.

Looking at the trope page, they aren't witty or sarcastic either and have no sense of humor.

Well, looking at the trope page, I suppose they wouldn't be.

Evil is smart, wicked, sarcastic with a biting sense of humor. Evil is smooth and eloquent, if not outright suave.

Zamasu (and by extension Black) is smart (by this series' standard), is wicked, and has a sense of humor, as seen in the scene linked above. Sarcastic might be up for debate. Zamasu's mannerisms and body language are suave and elegant.

I wouldn't say he's "classy," but the image of two men drinking tea on a porch with one of their legs folded typically gives off a "classy" appearance. Just because they're sinister doesn't mean they can't stop and enjoy a cup of tea. Just the act of making tea properly is classy as all heck, unless Zamasu went and found some teabags in that cabin for them to drink.

I'm guessing from there it'll go 17, Gohan, Frieza, and Vegeta with Goku winning.

They could surprise us and have Goku knocked out earlier than the rest, forcing this arc to have a conclusion that doesn't revolve around Goku powering up to even greater heights.

...

Took me like five tries to type that with a straight face.

I'm excited for (121 spoilers) Everyone vs mecha. The fact that it requires a 5 v 1 seems a good indication Universe 3's last stand won't be disappointing fodder the way Universe 4 ended up.

I know Kanzenshuu lost their fucking minds about the 119 spoilers because apparently 18 and Roshi are the most shilled characters of the tournament and they stole moments that Piccolo deserved more.

I'd say 18 has done really well for herself, though I'm surprised. I was honestly expecting her and 17 to be eliminated at the same time against U3.

I can see a circumstance where Goku is eliminated before the other U7 characters but it requires Jiren to not be the final boss of the tournament.

At this point they can win just by avoiding elimination.

Also how long is the episode where Vegeta fights Jiren cuase he is gonna be eliminated in that.

................. God I can't believe how unhyped I am for that episode even knowing who's animating it. I just can't get interested in Vegeta anymore.

Yeah, there is no way that's enough to qualify as the suave intellectual type.

Going to go remove the trope from both.
