Pretty sure he's talking about Zen-O.

Normally I'm against Rage Against the Heavens, but in this case, I have to admit that maybe Zen-O does need his ass kicked.

The problem is that it's impossible to do so.

The thing with 28 planets with life in the universe is that Toyotarou, at least, seems to think that's a LARGE number of planets. After Shin says that in the manga, Bulma says "28?! There's that many planets in the universe and there's no capable fighters to join the team?!"

I've always wondered if sentient life like humans is a rare thing in the universe. Maybe on a purely galactic scale, it's rare.

I'm pretty sure we've seen more than 28 alien species in the series.

[up][up]Earth has both humans and a wide variety of animal people, so many other planets are just as diverse.

PMC, the difference isn't that there should be like five or ten times as many inhabited planets or an equivalent number of aliens. It's that there should be thousands or millions more. That kind of scale.

Well Frieza was able to become ruler of the entire universe some how right?

I mean, Buu must have gone on quite a tear across the universe, then we had Beerus and his tendency to give bad reviews to entire planets for food. Those two details probably ensured a lot of refugees.

Then we had Frieza going around killing indigenous lifeforms in order to sell them to other people (and who was he selling them too anyway? Didn't he essentially own everything?), which likely dropped the numbers even more (though I doubt as much as Beerus and Buu).

I admit, the idea of only 28 planets with life is...ridiculous, but from an in universe perspective, it should also be kinda terrifying how much damage those three assholes did.

But yeah, kinda dumb.

The Dragonball Cosmonology isn't like our own universe though — four cardinal quadrants, with an actual edge to them you'd eventually run into — and Toriyama admitted that he made it that way for simplification.

It's conceivable that there are actually more sentient races out there in Universe 7, it's just that the inhabited planets are ridiculously small.

Also Universe 7 and 6 are mirrors so any planets and races in 6 also exist or used to exist in 7.

Still disappointed U7 didn't even try to get a Metal Man for their team. U6 recruited Saiyans and Namekians in response to Goku, Vegeta, and Piccolo, why not recruit a Metal Man in response to Magetta?

Because Super only exists to pander and bringing in some completely unknown metal guy is not pandering.

While it would be nice to have this addressed, it's likely that they didn't have anyone on Magetta's level. Like how apparently Magetta is the only metalman on the u 6 side worth recruiting

I suppose that might be the case as they don't have any Metal Men that can take on Goku, Vegeta and the other U7 fighters.

Essentially, that would require adding a new core cast member, which is something Super is just not going to do. Not sure if that's justifiable (the cast is already fairly big especially given how little some of them have to do) or not (the real reason is because Super is nostalgia incarnate and will simply not add a new unproven character).

Still should've dedicated a scene to explain why they didn't.

Or one of the three planet killing assholes wiped out his people in Universe 7.
