I mean, Yamcha's puns should have clued them in.

[up] x8 - I personally loved the Garlic Jr. filler arc. Also, if you're like my weird ass and enjoy the Ginyu Force and Mercenary Tao, they're featured in entertaining filler mini-arcs.

Let's be clear:

The people who were upset at Bulma and Yamcha's break up never actually read the manga, and probably didn't even watch the pre-z anime.

Otherwise, they would've known all along that Bulma and Yamcha's relationship was always a joke.

I want the new series to have moments where Beerus and Whis just pop by to troll the heroes and eat all their food. I'd love that.

If the new series does involve travel to the other universes, watch the one we've known until now be the weakest one. tongue

Too predictable. Hell, when Beerus said there are 12 universes, the fandom immediately assumed he was the weakest of 12 Gods of Destruction.

But Toriyama already surpassed Beerus with Whis, and it looks like he wants to keep those two at the top for the time being.

Edit: Also, Boo having absorbed South Kaioshin isn't conclusive proof that South Kaioshin was stronger. It was Evil Boo who absorbed people only when forced to, Pure Boo is unpredictable.

And Dai Kaioshin was weaker than South Kaioshin, yet still got absorbed.

Plus Beerus explicitly said that SOME have people stronger than him and Whis, which means there's some that are just plain weaker.

It seems like Always Someone Better is actually a rule in this franchise. There's always someone stronger out there.

No, back then, it was being intentionally enforced by the characters. Now it's being enforced by Toriyama.

Isn't Toriyama a character in one of the things?

I think there was a robot in Dr. Slump?

Tori-bot pops up occasionally in DB too.

Funny how Doctor Slump Arale could probably crush even Beerus or Whis like nothing thanks to Toon Physics. surprised

[up] According to the Daizenshuu, Arale was stronger than Goku through the Piccolo Arc, but weaker after that.

Arale can crack the world in half with her bare hands and destroy the moon by throwing a rock at it.

Physics and rules don't apply to her.

If I recal correctly, the Dragon Ball version of Arale is different from the Original Doctor Slump version.

Favorite minor tournament competitors? I like Ranfan and Giran a lot, as well as Killa from the 25th; despite a somewhat stereotypical design he just seemed like an aggressively normal guy amidst all the weirdness that goes on in DB tournaments.

Always Someone Better is kinda true for real life; no matter how good you think you are at something, someone will eventually come to surpass you.

Toriyama is also said to be the supreme ruler of the entire universe, and quite possibly the entire multiverse.

South Kaioshin gives Kid Buu a pretty good fight, but even in the anime Dai didn't really do much to Buff Buu. He caught him off guard and diced him up with a grid thingy unexpectedly, but then promptly got absorbed.

South was the strongest even over Dai. East says as much.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!

Even in the filler, though... they weren't really a challenge for Buu.
