[up] Honestly, I do. Even if we Latin Americans had a pretty faithful translation of the Japanese dub, things just weren't as I remembered.

I guess the only headcanon I have left is about Cabba. I'm kinda writing this one in my fanfic, but I imagine Cabba was an avid fanboy of Frost, and was inspired to become a soldier to help everyone he could, like Frost.

However, because Frost was evil, Cabba was deeply devastated internally during the Champa tournament. The reason he managed to become a Super Saiyan was not only to protect his planet, but because of the inner ange, he had of believing a lie. He then became Vegeta's fanboy, because he needs to idealize someone (Even if Vegeta was as bad a Frost during his early days. Or worse)

I guess i'm making a retcon during the Tournament. Don't take me that seriously: during the same fanfiction, Cabba had a pet dinosaur, was best friends with Magetta and fough some dude with the Tree of Might. I'm making shit up in order to amuse myself.

[up] I am glad you get me. I still have a fondness for the Funi and Ocean dub respectively but they are just different from the original and lacked of the nuance of the original. Dragon Ball was never that complicated but it was okay for what it is.

Why would they care about how westerners feel about it?

When have Japanese developers ever cared about what Westerners think? I'm legitimately trying to think of an instance but I'm coming up blank.

They really don't, in a video-game example Metroid: Other M tired pandering to the native fanbase at the expense of the Western crowd despite Westerners compromising the majority of said games sales which as we all know ended in failure as the West ended up alienated & the East still didn't care leading the game to bomb.

Also I believe the memorial for Hiromi Tsuru happened recently.

Didn't Nintendo stop including Tingle in mainline Zelda games because they realized Americans and Europeans despised him? If so, it would make sense, since the vast majority of sales for that series are from non-Japanese gamers.

I wouldn't say that true either. I don't know exactly everything when it comes to Japanese game developers but I've seen where they create characters in response of their game reception. Like Lars for Tekken. Doesn't change how most of them care domestically than they do internationally. They still haven't bother lip syncing with the dub.

Question: if this arc ends on a poignant note where Goku is forced to look at himself critically and change as a person, does it make the arc focusing more heavily on his flaws better?

124 and 125 spoilers It can be inferred that Gohan and Dyspo are both eliminated in 124, but nothing is confirmed as of yet.

Also, here's a preview image of Caulifla's introduction in the manga.

Okay transporting this from the Fighter Z thread. Caution for intense spoilers.

Thats right, we got ourselves a female Majin here & by the looks of that tail she may have even absorbed Beerus too.

It could also be her version of the head tentacle thing Buu has.

[up]Doubtful. I mean, it's possible, but if so I'd expect to see that little blob at the end of it. This tail is pointy like Freeza's or Beerus', and considering Freeza is all So Last Season, I expect it to be Beerus.

And since we are crossposting from the Fighter Z thread: I'd like to point everyone's attention to the collar, ankle rings and bracelets she's sporting. Neither 21 in her android form nor Freeza or Buu have those. Beerus does, albeit a different design. With this, in addition to the tail and the fact that Freeza and Buu are just not that intimidating any more when it comes to power, I'd say there's a pretty good chance that Majin 21 did, in fact, absorb Beerus.

Don't forget Xenoverse 2 DLC Pack 6! Fu, Jiren, Ranger 17 and SSB for CAC's confirmed.

[up] Majin 21's whole gameplay gimmick is absorption, she can steal the moves of her opponents.

Oh FFS.

I just want Xenoverse 3. Stop updating XV 2.

Question: if this arc ends on a poignant note where Goku is forced to look at himself critically and change as a person, does it make the arc focusing more heavily on his flaws better

They missed too many opportunities (killing Freeza the second time, spending time with Pan, Universe 9 getting erased, getting his teeth kicked in by Jiren) to have Goku acknowledge his own faults. The writing so far has me convinced that the only thing Goku will come out of this with is, "wow, so that's what fighting with other universes is like! Can we do it again!?"

That tweet has been up for four hours only, yet I bet someone's already drawn at least three Rule 34 pictures of her. >_>

That aside, looks pretty neat.

Finally, I can have more context for my fanfiction.

Also, I hope to see what Toyo will do with her. Do you think Kefla is an anime-only thing, or she will also appear in the manga?

Also, Jiren looks fat, and I'm salty he is the only TOP character to appear in Xenoverse as of now.

That's exactly what I'm hoping for evil grin

But being serious i always loved female demon designs and I always like it when we get new characters from the demon realm or look like they're from it. where's my demon realm CAC for xenoverse 3 bamco

Also, SSB for Xenoverse 2 is pretty baller, but do Saiyans really need ANOTHER transformation and buff? It would be hilarious if it played like Xenoverse 1 Super Saiyan though and I kinda hope it does.

Given how much of a big deal she was I'd be incredibly surprised if she was anime only.

I agree. I mean, hasn't it been said that Toriyama himself wants Goku to be unchanging and static as a character. If it doesn't have anything to do with fighting, then Goku rarely ever cares. I'm not sure if I'd say he's never changed at all, but at his core, he's still that same kid who was just farting around the forest when Bulma found him.

[up]

I do have to wonder now about just how much of Goku's heroism and selflessness in both the manga and the Z anime boiled down to the editors clamping down HARD on Toriyama's urges to make Goku and irresponsible doof. Didn't he go through at least 3 editors throughout the Dragonball manga's lifetime?

If so, then Super is what happens when Toriyama doesn't have Editorial Fiat reigning him in.

Caulifla's gang appear less as a bunch of punks and more like a cult.

If this wasn't Dragon Ball, I would think Kale became Alessa and her transformation the God of this cult. Man, Caulifla became worse in the manga!

Just kidding.
