I know she was there and turned the place upside down looking for clothes.

I can't remember whether she took anything or destroyed anything though.

She might have took some of Chichi's earrings or things.

Just watched the latest ep.

Vegeta didn't dick around, Hit takes out Frost easily, and still has power to spare, Monaka is looking to be a lot less then he was hyped up to be more and more, and Magetta spits lava.

Business as usual in Super.

Super has been making me realise the entire Frost subplot was just a waste of almost 2 episodes. Also, if I start getting overly conspiracy theory, I feel like it was solely done to appease Vegeta fans...who really don't need appeasing, because you can't completely satisfy everyone.

Ah, well. At least we get to see him actually struggle in a fight. That's something that doesn't normally happen to Shonen anti-heroes. They normally just Worf others, or are Worfed.

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

A lot of Super, as I've said, sounds like shallow fan service/nostalgia-bait to me. Like, there's always been a pretty large "Vegeta should've beaten Frieza" contingent, so Super has Vegeta beat (a previously weakened alternate universe counterpart of) Frieza.

This stuff really makes me think Toei does have more control than Toriyama; this kind of cash-cow milking is much more in line with a corporation than a creator.

Also Toriyama kind of made Vegeta intentionally unlikable for the most part, so he's aware that Vegeta's main use is as a punching bag that everyone loves to see get beat.

Eh, I can take or leave that part of him; he's way less of a dick than he was at the beginning, and a lot less evil.

So far, the only thing Super did with Vegeta that I disliked was giving him God Ki without the ritual.

If you were saying the animation was bad, that characters were still fond of Talking Is a Free Action, that Goku and Vegeta's characterizations have been poorly-handled, I might give you those.

But "nostalgia bait" and "Super Vegeta makes me puke"...

Nostalgia's not a bad thing. Nostalgia is the reason you go to watch things over and over again. The more nostalgia built up, the better a work is for that person. No one watches a trailer and goes, "Wow, the mood and characters of this are completely different from the last film. I want to watch this!" unless it's Just Cause 2 or Terminator Judgment Day.

Ah, but its an obvious attempt at milking the franchise. Dragonball has over 20 video games, at least 14 films, several toys, a card game, and a video game about a card game in Dragonball Heroes. We've gotten several unimportant side stories and retcons, instead of stories that explain actual things like Saiyan-Tuffle history, or who the first Super Saiyan was, or who the Nameless Namek was. This series was milked way before Super came along.

The "why is Super Vegeta so awful" topic has been beaten into the ground. I remain unconvinced until Vegeta actually does something he didn't do in Dragonball, or until Chi-Chi leaves Goku for him, with Bulma turning into a polygamist and Vegeta having two wives. Then and only then will I say that Super is favoring Vegeta.

Dood, we know exactly who the Nameless Namekian was, and who the Nameless Namekian is today.

The Nameless Namekian was sent from Namek to Earth during the Great Drought that killed off all the other namekians but him and Guru and then he separated into Kami and Piccolo and later on became the Nameless Namekian again to face Cell.

And then decided to settle into being Piccolo just because he's been that way for-fucking-ever.

We don't have an actual depiction of this though, no manga side-story or OVA. Instead we got Minus, Episode of Bardock, Dragonball SD, Victory Mission, and Jaco the Galactic Patrolman, and those are just the ones I remember.

Actually, DB has over 80 games.

@LO Lypop: No offense, but it sounds like you already disliked him.

But like Soble said, we'ver been over this already.

It's not like Toriyama didn't give Vegeta cool moments.After all, Toriyama is the one that established Vegeta as the only one that can still keep up with Goku.

I like it. Very well animated.

(CALM RANT INCOMING) You know, the whole 'Superman has no limits' bullshit probably affects me more than most, considering that I love Superman, and portraying him as literally invincible and all-powerful is just so aggressively wrong that it just makes me furious. If Superman is omnipotent, that opens up so many plot holes and inconsistencies that it tears the entire DC Universe apart. From there being well-documented ways of making him stronger, to every time he ever struggles with anything ever, to him being powered by yellow starlight and how does it make any sense that yellow starlight grants omnipotence, to yellow starlight being everywhere in the night sky and shouldn't that small amount have given all Kryptonians omnipotence considering you can't have a small amount of infinity, to the Justice League itself being formed with the express purpose of taking down threats that nobody, not even Superman, can handle alone. Yeah, I know some writers have written him doing some pretty stupid stuff, but most, if not all, of those exanples can be interpreted differently or have been written out of continuity or are just examples of bad writing. Superman having no limits ruins the DC Universe.

TLDR: The concept of Superman having no limits, allowing him to beat Goku, actually makes me MUCH more angry as a DC fanboy than as a Dragon Ball fanboy.

~deep breath~

So, the latest episode was pretty cool actually. Vegeta taking out Frost in one hit was sweet and whatever Hit did to Frost was awesome. Magetta is 5 times more awesome than I hoped he'd be and 30 times more awesome than I expected him to be, given his big bulky robot design here in Shonen. Huge slow robot who spews lava, progressively gets stronger and faster as he charges up, emits overwhelming heat the stronger he gets, and can turn into a Beyblade that can create afterimages? Magetta was always the member of Team 6 I was most interested in, but this fight has solidified him as my favorite of Team 6 by a mile.

Also, who the HELL is Monaka that BEERUS, of all people, is willing to cover for him THAT much?!
