Pretty sure yeah.

He's actively maliscious instead of just whimsically chaotic.

So which one is more catlike?

I mean... destroying planets for food regularly is pretty malicious. Granted, Earth has the best cuisine in the universe so those one panel planets don't really matter to anyone but their equally one panel inhabitants.

Given Super Beerus getting distracted by and playing with his own little swirly ki balls during his fight with Goku, I'd say that version's more cat-like. Also, Super Beerus has a ton more screentime of doing cat-like things over movie Beerus, so it's not really a fair comparison.

Big spoilers, Chapter 42 of the manga came out...

Goku and Vegeta try to double-team Jiren with a Gamma Burst Kamehameha combo, but then Vegeta is ringed-out. Goku then struggles to hold back Jiren, but then Frieza appears and charges up a Death Ball. Goku does a Full Nelson on Jiren, but even then he was able to deflect the Death Ball. Suddenly Frieza uses that opportunity to do a surprise tackle, which rings out all 3 of them. Lastly, 17 reveals himself as the final person on the stage, making him the MVP. The events of after that line up with the anime somewhat, with the multiversal revival and whatnot.

The chapter doesn't end there though... The events of Broly are mentioned for a single page, but it then starts off anew. Goku and Vegeta are training, but Bulma interrupts them to inform them that Buu has gotten arrested by the Galactic Patrol. Mr. Satan scolds the patrolmen and then tries to shoot them, but one of them stops the bullet with his blaster. Goku and Vegeta arrive to knock out a couple of them, but the main patrolman shoots them with his blaster which knocks them out. After waking up, Goku and Vegeta find themselves on the ship and meet up with Jaco, the other patrolman from earlier and a guy who looks like Jiya. The talk to them about Buu and the Grand Supreme Kai, but I dunno how to read japanese, so I dunno the actual context.

HERE'S TO A NEW SAGA!

I mean, I actually liked and loved Beerus being nicer than his reputation, because it emphasized for all that the Kais paid lipservice to the idea of destruction being necessary and not evil, they were also creation-biased judgmental prejudiced dickholes.

That's a dynamic a liked.

Nobody treated Beerus like a GoD at Bulma's birthday, just a person to party with. A friend, even.

And I like that as something Beerus didn't even know he needed.

LOL the Galactic Prisoner referred to Boo huh? Well, hopefully something interesting happens with him.

And 17 didn't fight Jiren, which is actually what I was expecting. I like the humour of him just popping up after everyone else was ringed out.

Huh that is a good-looking costume.

I wonder if this prison will have anyone worth shit to fight.

Also, some Jump Force stuff too.

Piccolo's doing the same pose he did for the Universal Survival promo stuff.

So I guess Jump Force has the four greatest villains in Dragon Ball.

Poor Buu.

What's really weird is that Naruto still only has 2 reps despite being Jump's cash-cow on comparable levels to DB & One Piece.

DB got 5 reps, OP got 5 reps (still don't care much for Sabo), & Hunter x Hunter even has 4 reps. Hell the defamed Bleach got 3 reps giving them the placement of the 3rd most reps in the game.

Also weird Cell made it in in the first place considering he is the least popular of the Z villains in Japan.

Alright, some transcripts are coming in...

The new arc literally starts right after Goku REDACTED, and Buu wasn't actually arrested. Apparently the Galactic Patrol needs Grand Supreme Kai's help to capture a prisoner who escaped. I guess that's why they got Buu. "Yes, the Great Kaioshin slumbers again inside Majin Buu ..."

Goku and Vegeta got defeated by Galactic Patrol. Words can't describe how embarrassing that is.

I mean, yeah. Ouch.

If they never went above base, then that still makes no sense because the GP can't even take an adult Saiyan at Raditz level.

#89972: Nov 18th 2018 at 4:29:33 AM

I mean sure, they aren't the most powerful people, but I'm pretty sure they have the tech to at least stun powerful enemies. Plus that bowlcut patroller seemed pretty fast, fast enough that Vegeta didn't even notice him speed behind him for a stun. Most info we have on the GP is from the Jaco manga, which took place 40-something years before the current year in DB. Wouldn't surprise me if a few things changed.

The only reason Frieza doesn't instantly wipe out these incompetent morons is prolly cause they give him an occasional good laugh.
