You know, as much as I love the baseball episode, and I LOVE the baseball episode; the very premise is flawed. The idea is that Champa wants to have a casual baseball game with U7 to get access to Earth's delicious food... except Beerus wished back Champa's Earth at the end of the U6 tournament with a society similar to U7's Earth, so Champa should already have access to Earth's delicacies.

No, Vados specifically notes that U6's Earth came with a society and culture similar to that of U7's Earth, and she extrapolates that they'll be able to have delicious Earth food whenever they want now.

Champa already ate those food. How do you think he got so fat?

He was already fat before he got U6's Earth back so... apparently he ate so much delicious Earth food it made him retroactively fat.

This is Champa we're talking about. Chances are he already had delicious U6 Earth food, but is so greedy that he wants both Earths' food. Or he's just trying to troll his brother. Or maybe Bulma is just the Supreme Chef of the multiverse and Universe 6 didn't have her

I wonder what would happen if the Multi-Form was put in conjunction with the Potara Earings? Like if Piccolo used it to get a clone, and they put on the Earrings? Would it even work due to the nature of the Multi-Form technique, and if it did would there even be a power boost? If the reverse was true, say Goku and Vegeta/Vegetto knew the Multi-Form technique. He's in his base and going to separate in an hour. 59 minutes in he uses the Multi-Form technique. What happens to the clones in another minute? If they don't follow suit, what happens when Goku and Vegeta try to reincorporate said clones?

He made up an excuse because he doesn't want to admit he just wanted to spend time with his brother.

So, Kale = Toei idea

Toppo and Dyspo's personality= Toei

Jiren personality = Toriyama

Caulifla = Created because of Kale

Ribrianne design = Toriyama

Magical girl parody = Toei

Most of the problems of this arc = Toriyama vague outline.

Most of the To P = Toei

I lost any semblance of hope now.

There is still the manga's take on the TOP. And, for the record, Blue has a much better showing there.

Sorry to derail the topic, but I feel like I hate Dragonball Super due to how they flanderize the characters, which is why I don't watch it. It made Goku, Vegeta, Buu, and Chi-Chi extremely annoying and brought back some annoying qualities of theirs that were supposed to have diminished after the Buu Arc.

For example, I remember defending Chi-Chi a lot on this thread because of some of the unnecessary hate she got. Fast forward years later, I can finally understand where some of her detractors are coming from when they make (legitimate) criticisms of her character.

Let me say she makes excellent points on how Gohan shouldn't be fighting at a young age.I just hate how she enforces the idea that it's okay for parents to pressure their older children to be what they (the parents) want them to be, but their younger children are free to be their own person without the nagging. Even "Hey Arnold" and the Pixar movie "Brave" portray the consequences of this phenomenon realistically. She's not the worst anime mother, but she's far from being mother of the year.

That's because Japanese comedy works that way it seems: obtuse unchanging characters, even if the setting is not the proper one.

The chi chi thing in particular is very Japanese. The elder sibling is given most of the responsibility while the younger one is given more slack.

I know this is probably a dead horse at this point, but how do you feel about the retcon about the Potara not being permeant (for non-Kais, anyway) versus just the atmosphere of Buu's insides or whatever somehow undoing it?

The thing is, the detail of Boo's insides is pretty sloppy, and was clearly just done for a plot convenient way to defuse Vegetto. But... that's also exactly true for the time limit. The way it was handled was just as much of an asspull, and they just needed a new way to defuse Vegetto. I think it's even worse, though, because it is far too similar to the Fusion Dance limitations (which feels really lazy), it's a pretty glaring retcon, and it doesn't make sense for Old Kaioshin to be unaware of this when his role is to be the knowledgeable Kaioshin.

I'm not a big fan of retcons, which is made worse when they're super blatant and lazily done. But I can accept them if they make a story better... which this didn't. It's every bit as bad as the original explanation, but introduces new problems. And despite the retcon, they can't change what happened in the first scene or the writing behind it.

If they really wanted to improve the earlier scene, they should have expanded on it by explaining why that happened instead of tossing it out for a newer, shittier explanation. Like, the magic that created Boo is the antithesis to the magic used by Gods, because Boo is connected to demons (Majin = demon human) or whatever.

The entire sequence from Gohan getting absorbed to the final battle with Boo is a very hastily built house of cards, I'm not trying to argue that the inside Boo thing is good. But the time limit retcon doesn't fix anything, doesn't improve on anything, and doesn't help.

I wanted to post about transformations, number of them and their effectiveness but it's really late. Study is a bitch.

Not to mention that it's a retcon made to something that was already a retcon, the Potara existing. All in all I had to stop caring and just roll with it.

I think the best use of reusing the animation from the opening in this show is Goku Black getting into Goku's stance and the animation that usually gives a glimpse of SSB or SSG instead gives a glimpse of normal Goku to show how Black is adapting to his new body.

The weird thing about the Potara thing is that they could have just had him go Gogeta and it would have been exactly the same since Vegito undergoes a massive power downgrade anyway. Like, why did they not think of that?

Does anyone else kind of want an arc focusing on Pilaf, Mai, and Shu?
