So a whole episode of "Chi Chi is a horrible, overbearing shrew and everyone is afraid of her" joke? Well, this episode was a waste of time.

[up](x5) Alright, Astro maybe. What about Mega Man? Never went out of control and took down eight robots that were built after him, all of them built with weaponry superior to his own and a helluva lot sturdier.

Yeah, power-wise, Astro Boy is robot Superman while Mega Man is robot Batman. Personality-wise, it's quite the opposite.

I mean, we've not seen Whis training.

We've only seen him eating.

Also, 18 can get stronger if she trains.

I mean, so can 17, but.

18 lives with a martial artist.

17 ranges a park.

You know, that's funny. We have debates on how Dragon Ball could be using X character and how X character is done and Super spends a whole episode on Chichi in a manner that apparently pleases no one. It's like this forum and the show aren't even on the same page, in any sense.

Yes, I blame TOEI too, but I was doing that from the very beginning. I was willing to forgive TOEI, somewhat, when the last three movies came out, even looking forward to a fourth but I did explicitly say I didn't think they deserved another shot at making a Dragon Ball tv show, that it should go to Sunrise or something.

Let's face it: If Dragon Ball had gone to a studio that actually gave a shit about it, Dragon Ball Super would've been awesome.

But it went to Toei, and Toei does not give a single fuck about the biggest name in manga and anime.

@Hamburger It's not that he's ended his involvement with Super, but from what has been said he was brought on to do the character designs and plot outline for Universe 6. Some of the more original episodes might have his involvement, but the BOG rewrite seems to be pure Toei. The writing style is clearly very different from Toriyama's, and characters use their anime-only catchphrases and quirks.

The rewrite arcs are basically filler for Toriyama to prepare Universe 6.

Or to put it another way.....

And don't know 17's park ranging. He ranges the shit out of those parks. Those parks never know what ranged them, and we are all better for it.

OK, I have to back up a little. Watching the newest episode subbed, Chi-Chi wasn't that bad. Oh, don't get me wrong, she was bad. But at least I can understand the reasoning behind what she's doing. She doesn't want Pan to be a martial artist, but then with a conversation with the Saiyan's Wives Club, they all decide Pan can do what she wants, and no one can force her either way.

And then she doesn't want Goku to train because she knows if he leaves, he's not going to come back for, like, years. It's like she's already seen the epilogue!

The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!

.......To be fair, the other times he didn't come back for years while training was because he was dead. It's pretty hard to come back from that, even with the dragon balls giving discounts on death.

That being said, I can actually see her point if that's all there is to it.

Goku could probably just murder the entire celestial bureaucracy if they said no to letting him return to Earth.

That's because the gods of Superman's universe are... actual gods. Not just dudes.

Isn't Goku anywhere between Multi-Galaxy to Universe level thanks to the massive buff Super Saiyan God got in Super? Only time will tell how much of a buff Super Saiyan Beyond God gets as a result of this.

Goku can't do jack to Beerus and Whis.

Yemma could probably call in a favor with them. And, I mean, Beerus doesn't exactly like uppity mortals either. So it wouldn't be much of a problem on his end.

If Beerus was napping they can call Whis, who would be more than able to take care of it himself.
