I wonder what they mean by "Space Survival". I get a visual of everyone going into a spaceship and having to Apollo 13 it back to Earth after some shit goes down.

That's foiled by Goku being able to IT.

I mean, yeah, but just the phrase "Space Survival" gives me that Apollo 13 type image.

We'll have to wait and see.

I'm hoping Toriyama doesn't try to subvert things like he usually does.

I mean, I want him to subvert things in a way that we actually DON'T see coming.

Which he kinda did with the Trunks arc. Nobody would have expected that ending.

I wonder if it's going to connect with this Hit arc coming up.

I'm seriously getting GT vibes from that description... which could be a very good thing. The universe-traversing aspect of it was not bad in concept.

Well, if you recall, they had to nerf Goku's Instant Transmission to even make that first part of GT possible.

I'm hoping if there's a universal travel aspect, they come up with a better reason for Goku to not just teleport everywhere to solve things.

They didn't nerf IT, they made him inexplicably unable to use it right.

Oh right.

He was completely unable to use it at all...until Piccolo just zapped him and let him use it, meaning that the entire space adventure arc was completely pointless, since all they really needed to do was call Piccolo.

To be fair, I doubt they had any way of knowing that.

Until Piccolo zapped him that is.

Then he was able to use it in his kid form as well.

All he did was give his energy, I don't see how that made any difference.

I mean, do remember that IT only works if he has an energy signature to lock onto. If the Dragon Ball was somewhere without any form of life, then he wouldn't be able to teleport there at all.

In the Buu saga, Marron was 3 and Goten was 7.

Yeah, she would have been 18 by the time of GT.

I mean, she gets a nose in the epilogue, and starts looking more like Lazuli in GT.

Finding out that 17 and 18 are going to be in an arc entitled "Space Survival" got a laugh out of me, because I was just idly wondering if the two of them could breathe in space.

It's also a good setting, because no matter how powerful Goku and Vegeta are they can't breathe in space - and there is a certain vulnerability in being stuck fighting in, say, a fragile close-quarters spaceship that they share with everyone else.

Well I mean, she's the only one of the three (Pan, Bra, and Marron) that you legally could.

All we know about 17 and 18 is they need to drink water and don't need to eat.

Like. Oxygen is only necessary as an electron carrier from energy generated by breaking down food carbs.

If they photosynthesize, they would still need oxygen, because photosynthesis makes sugar, which then gets broken down and used for energy.

If they have, like. A nuclear reactor in them, and some mechanism to turn the electricity into biological energy/fuel. Theoretically oxygen might not be necessary maybe.

Or I'm just bullshitting. I honestly can't tell. It's a fine line.
