Been awhile since I posted, but came to say that I love, love this episode. The best so far, up there with the Beerus fight in the series. I so want a dub now. Toei, get this stuff license to Funi already!

Okay, now that I got that out, please to see an episode that the majority community liked. Plus, no whining about animation, Yay!

Dragon Ball Super getting a dub is sort of a no-brainer. Dragon Ball is one of the biggest cash cows in anime history.

I know it is getting a dub, one is actually coming to Asia this summer I believe. I mean I want a dub now. Looks like they're pulling a Battle of Gods where we don't get an official dub until a year or more after the source material been out. I'm still mad we don't have an official simulcast sub like One Piece. Toei can at least give us that, even if the fan subs have been doing a good job recently.

I will admit, Toei is really bad with international stuff. Although they got Resurrection 'F' out really fast.

I'd imagine getting a movie is a lot easier than an ongoing animated series.

Of course it is.

But the more you wait, the more the interest dies down.

Well, it hasn't been too long; Super is only 9 months old. It took Battle of Gods a whole year to come to the states.

DBF reveals Pandel!

Also, MULTI-FUSION!?

So Videl can fuse with her own future daughter then?

Well, that's gonna be weird, but I suppose it's no weirder then Goku initially planning to fuse with Gohan.

Got wrecked is a bit of an overstatement.

It just allowed Goku to get a few free hits in.

Nappa got wrecked by the Kaioken.

That's accurate.

The Kaioken let Goku outperform Vegeta's expectations but Vegeta won the Multiplier Olympics by becoming the Oozaru.

Vegeta's beam was also stronger than Goku's. At a battle power of 18,000, Vegeta's Galick Gun was slowly overpowering Goku's x3 Kamehameha despite a battle power of 24,000+.

I'd imagine getting a movie is a lot easier than an ongoing animated series.

I'd imagine so. An animated series probably has all the same localization issues of a movie, but there's more of it and you have to convince a network to air the show on top of it.

Also, MULTI-FUSION!?

Are they fusing to fight Nappa, or is he just cheerleading? Because having all the Saiyans fuse just to obliterate Nappa is hilarious overkill. On the other hand, I can totally hear TFS Nappa going, "AWWW YEAH!!!" as they fuse.

No, it seems it's just a 5-way fusion between Tekka (the CAC), Kid Goku, Goten, Kid Trunks and Pan. I don't know if there'll be other multi-fusions revealed, but this is pretty big...

TEKUTENKSAN vs Nappa, seems like overkill, huh?

Where did Padel get those twintails?

They're probably waiting for Dragon Ball Kai to end on Toonami before airing Super.

[up][up]Videl had twintails when she was introduced, and didn't cut them until she started training with Gohan.

I thought she didn't have twintails before the fusion.

She didn't, Videl had short hair.

Still tho, TEKUTENKSAN!!!!

Given that this is Dragon Ball many networks would want like Nick, Hulu, and Netflex. Toonami isn't going to be the only one wanting a piece of that money.

I honestly think one of the biggest things stopping Toei from licensing Super is that the West doesn't have nearly as much DB-related merchandise. I mean, there's no Dragon Ball Heroes, or Discross, or that other IC card game, or...what else gets promoted in the adbreaks? The only money Western kids can put into the franchise is if they buy the videogames.

I mean, this is still a show for children.

Video games sell a lot, and in the peak of the early 2000's there was quite a bit of DBZ merch.

We currently have no Super video games though, and I don't think the demographics overlap that much.

People are buying the video games without an anime to pimp it.

Well, yeah, they all came out before Super.

I mean, this is just what I'm guessing Toei's reasoning is. They don't seem to treat Super more than just another toy commercial. Like Precure or something.

And the hilarious joke here is, a lot more effort goes into Pretty Cure than what goes into DBS.

I'd like to remind you, Super has become infamous for its QUALITY.

Was it?

I didn't notice.
