The truth behind Hit's strength is that he learned how to lag switch someone in real life, clearly he's learned from his time in Fighter Z

Hit taking off his skirt was so dumb and goofy. His silhouette just looks wrong without it. Also, it is apparently a skirt, not part of a Badass Longcoat.

I think it looks good without the skirt part, and it's a nice little detail to go with him being more physically active in that fight. It ties in with how he tried to conceal himself while using Time Skip, but is focusing on melee to fight Jiren so he is going in the opposite direction.

One thing that I didn't notice right away but I really like is that Dragon Ball Super is bookended by a cruise ship. The show starts with Bulma's party on one, and it ends with 17 taking his family on a vacation on that very same cruise ship. It's some really nice continuity and bookending.

[up]x2: I've also seen some people view it as Toyotaro simplifying Hit's design for the sake of convenience on himself as well, taking a page from his sensei. Having a reasonable, in-story justification for character growth works glues both concepts nicely (even if I'm little iffy about Hit trying out a less time-skip focused fighting style on Jiren, of all opponents).

That being said, Hit, if you're gonna strip, you might as well go shirtless as well.

[up]I actually found that hilarious, of all things, to end off this chapter of Super with: a run-a-mill Capsule Corp cruise ship that served a throwaway setting and joke.

Oh man, that edit.[lol]

Yeah, I think it was done to make it easier to draw hit in motion, showing his legs moving and all that.

I think Hit's design is bit incomplete without the lower half of his jacket tbh.

Of course it is a skirt...

Why would not it be?

Alright, Time for some dubbed Super...

As I was saying, time to talk about Super.

Um...I prefer the skirt for Hit to be honest.

I too wish we could've seen 17's family. The little detail that 2 of his 3 kids are adopted is such a great little detail, and I want to see how his family works and what their dynamic is.

I get the feeling the reason the anime didn't show 17's family is because Toriyama hasn't drawn any designs for them yet.

Probably. I'd be pleasantly surprised to see them in the manga.

I like to imagine that 17 married a tiger woman.

Is it bestiality if they have human-level intelligence?

17's wife is also a park ranger, according to that original interview. According to 17 in Super, they met on the job.

So I just saw the most recent Super ad & I gottas ask two things:

Why is Bojack's crew suddenly Blue level & why is Cooler helping the Z-Fighters?

What's with all of the Bojack appreciation in recent years? Is that guy from Multiverse working with official Dragon Ball media now?

~slimcoder: Well, I'll try my best. If ~@Rinsankajugin wants to correct me on some details, that would be great:

     Cliff Notes Version of the Current Heroes Storyline 
  • The post-Tournament of Power versions (kind of, but not really) of Goku, Vegeta, Future Mai are investigating the appearance of the Prison Planet (a collection of varied planets and era sowed together). This all began after the wild card Fu gave them the tip-off that Future Trunks was imprisoned there.

  • Cooler managed to break out Future Trunks from the Prison Planet during this, simply asking Trunks to "follow him". This part's speculative, but considering how Heroes likes to mirror or twists themes from other existing Dragon Ball media, I wouldn't be surprised if Cooler's being a pragmatic Token Evil Teammate, much like his canonical brother's adventures in the TOP, for a reason I'll quickly get into.

  • After reaching the planet, and getting into a misunderstanding with an on-patrol Xeno Goku, the GT-inspired Goku tips off our Super cast that Fu was responsible for this mess, and potentially trapping them on the planet. Fu doesn't deny it, but points out that it just him acting on his scientific urges.

  • In order to get out, Fu askes the team to acquire him the 7 "special" Dragon Balls from a couple of notable owners found on the planet. Bojack and his crew are suspected to be one of the Dragon Ball holders, hence their confrontation. They even got a head start with Xeno Goku unknowingly having one of the Balls in his possession.

  • Meanwhile, Fu doing some else in between his brief pop-ins with the casts, like attending a mysteriously chained up Saiyan.

[up] Seems more Dimps-centered regarding them utilizing every piece of Dragon Ball media out there for their Heroes and Xenoverse stuff. Bojack and his crew don't seem to get an abnormal boost in other recent merchandise.
I do find it amusing that people (mostly the Youtube-Facebook crowd) are becoming increasingly interested in the crazy stuff that occurs in Heroes from these teasers without the full context of it note . This comment's pretty amusing.

I feel like asking some And Then What? questions, particularly for Cell and Zamasu since I can't come up with satisfactory answers for them.

  • Zamasu: Assume Goku Black and Future Zamasu succeeded with the Zero Mortals plan. Assume Future Trunks didn't go back to the past and was killed. Assume Zen'o won't come to eliminate the universe. What's next? The two being roommates in a sitcom until the stars die off?
  • Cell: This one baffles me the most. Assume he wins and everyone on Earth dies. What's next? Him trying to deal with Babidi and whoever invades Earth?
