Possibly.

But Freeza would have just transformed and thrown an even bigger Death Ball, and I doubt that even the whole race combined could match his final form, even as Great Apes.

Always good to hear Schemmel as Goku. I don't know what it is, but his voice always makes me smile.

I agree. Schemmel hits the perfect carefree happy notes for Goku's personality, while not sounding childish and managing to sound masculine. And he shifts to a different, deeper tone when Goku gets serious; so he's able to portray both the happy and the badass sides of Goku.

Does anyone have a link to the doujin where Vegeta lands on Earth instead of Goku? I tried looking for it but the only link I found doesn't work anymore (and is apparently really bad both in scan quality and translation quality).

Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!

So we got some offical details now.

It is the multi-verse tournament, but with the danger of universal destruction. Guess this is one fight they can't afford to lose.

Obligatory "GT Timeline is among the 12 Universes" post.

Still, it's sad to know that Roshi is considered to be stronger than Yamcha. But that's basically grinding the bones of a horse's corpse.

That still comes off as really fanservicey but we've already been over that.

So if I'm understanding this right, all the losers get their universes destroyed? Jesus, well we'll see how that works out.

Maybe Roshi's been training.

...Are the Zen-Os going to destroy all universes that lose? I smell multiversal rebellion.

Also I'm disappointed to see that Goten and Trunks are getting the shaft again, but their absence does make sense.

The man should have peaked a long time ago, and before Resurrection of F I think that's what everyone was assuming. But fanservice so whatever. It's not even necessarily a bad thing.

And since Freeza's the one with the healing pods...

I mean. There might be some healing pods on the planet itself.

Not that they'd help much, but.

I just now noticed that it says "team battles". This could possibly lead to fusions.

Oh, so this is the Multiverse Tournament? Cool, well at least the human fans have a bone to chew on.

It's twice the size of the Universe 6 arc and the loser gets their universe nuked...well I guess that's a good enough incentive.

.....Fuck, the hype is coming out.

Well, with the exception of Gotenk being excluded (which is for the best really), the expanded Universe 6 team is made up of the strongest warriors on Earth.

I guess Roshi has become stronger then Yamcha since he's in and the latter isn't. If that's how it is, that's how it is.

I believe in terms of power it goes:

1) Goku and Vegeta;

2) Gohan;

3) Fat Buu;

4) Piccolo;

5) 17;

6) 18;

7) Krillin;

8) Tenshihan;

9) Roshi.

Gonna be nice to see the old man in action again really. I wonder if he's got some tricks he never used back in DB up his sleeve.

Also, I guess they really were building up towards Gohan getting back in action. I thought he'd be hung out to dry.

Imagine if Master Roshi wins the tournament for them in the end.

After the Universe 6 tournament, I'm finding it hard to believe that all those characters are actually going to do something. But hey, we basically had the Fanservice Arc last time. Maybe "not using the supporting cast" was a grievance Toei actually made Toriyama try to fix for this arc.

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

I have to imagine that everyone will have the chance to do something, we're getting something around 115 new characters after all.

Eh, the Super anime was half fanservice anyway. the last arc just made it clearer for anyone still in denial. Who could forget gems like:

Ginyu returns and steals Tagoma's body! Piccolo dies protecting Gohan, exactly like in the Saiyan Saga! Goku combines Super Saiyan Blue with Kaioken!

Ya know, all of this fanservice would be a lot better if it actually meant something beyond just that...fanservice, extremely shallow fanservice.

It's basically Toei saying "HEY GUYS, REMEMBER THIS THING FROM ALL THOSE YEARS AGO, WELL HERE IT IS JUST LIKE YOU REMEMBER IT"

Considering they revived a decades old franchise it was inevitable.

I'm ok with some of it sometimes.

I'm hoping that Super Saiyan Blue Kaioken gets properly mastered, rather then just being brought out so that it can never be used again.
