Right now, it doesn't have an official English name. Planet Salad is in the same position Beerus was when he was known as "Bills" and will remain so until Viz or Funimation gives it an official translation.

Sadal makes a lot of sense because the Saiyan' aren't known as Yasains. Their name is an anagram of "Yasai", a Japanese word for vegetable. It makes sense that their original planet name is an anagram rather than exactly like the inspiration word.

I see your point and raise you the counterpoint that their other home planet is the word "Vegetable" with three letters cut off the end rather than an anagram.

So, I've decided to just continue Super from where I left off. Super Saiyan Videl is everything I hoped it would be, but the Super Saiyan God transformation taking, like, five minutes to complete got obnoxious.

Toei needs to learn that there is a fine line between building suspense and pointlessly dragging something out.

I'm not saying it has to be an anagram. Just that one is fitting and makes sense so people shouldn't be too quick to disregard it,

Oh, okay. I have no objection to that, as my stance is that both Planet Salad and Planet Sadal are perfectly valid names until an official translation canonizes one.

I'm probably going to keep using Salad, but there's nothing wrong with Sadal either.

5 minute transformation sequence?

No, but it got really repetitive. Like, there was a beacon of energy shooting up into the sky, and then that calmed down and everyone was a Super Saiyan, and it seemed like it was going to move on but then the beacon of energy shot back up into the sky.

It was ridiculous. Beerus actually seemed like he was starting to lose interest; when your characters are getting impatient for you to just f*cking get on with it, that's bad.

It reeked of Toei having too much time left to fill but not wanting to start the fight until next episode. The only saving grace was the occasional glimpses of Super Saiyan Videl, which is still the most awesome thing ever.

Oh hey, playable Supreme Kai of Time. Who are Putine and Gravy, though?

Also Time Patrol Gotenks amuses me for some reason.

The Super Saiyan God ritual was overly long, but I didn't care because I loved the music and how over the top it was. Then again, I love the Super Saiyan 3 transformation (the dub) and it was literally five minutes of nothing but Goku screaming to awesome music.

Skot's been playable for a while now, it's just that her younger self (Chronoa) is now playable. Putine and Gravy were mages like Skot and Demigra used to be.

Also, I don't know if Toei just forgot or something, but Vegeta's Abused Girlfriend Power-Up was made even more ridiculous by the Vegeta v. Beerus episode because the next time we see Bulma, she's fine. She doesn't even hold a grudge. [lol]

Beerus pimpslapped the Queen Bitch of Bitch Mountain and literally the only character who cares is Vegeta. That is how little Bulma, as a character, actually mattered to the scene.

I think it just seems slow for dramatic effect. And not the first time someone got hurt in the series and no one cared.

If he didn't use much force, a slap to the face doesn't even hurt at all.

You gotta use a lot of force for a slap to even hurt yourself.

He backhands her in the face hard enough to send her flying several feet across the boat.

[up][up] It's not, but it's funny that even Bulma herself doesn't really care. She's been incredibly hostile to the likes of Oolong and Krillin for much less than physically assaulting her.

It was hard enough to knock her away, but cause no real damage. In the movie he slapped her hard enough to knock her down.

I find your comment funny since Bulma does slaps Beerus again for calling her old.

I don't know about Krillin but Oolong kinda deserved it. He kidnapped girls to make into his wives, dressed her up as a playboy bunny and would have raped her in her sleep if there hadn't been an interruption.
