I thought Pu'ar was a girl?

Puar is apparently a boy. Just a problem with the dub, and the voice actor.

Puar is described as "she" and "her" though.

Isn't Puar described as a he in the Daizenchu?

Guy in Japan, Girl in US, expert shapeshifter not used to fullest extent.

Seriously, Pu'ar could be used for some useful tactic-stuff.

Puar is male. The dub just didn't get that fact across. Not like it really matters though, he's hardly an important or ever present character.

I distinctly remember characters using female pronouns for Puar in the dub.

If that's different from the Japanese, then it strikes me less as "not getting across" and more "being changed entirely".

When Toriyama was drawing Puar, he considered Puar to be male.

It just that dubs tend to use female VAs for him so everyone thought Puar was a girl. Hell, even his seiyuu is a woman (not that it means anything).

Looking back on Tree Of Might, I realized Turles got a ridiculous boost from just taking a bite of the fruit. Keeping that in mind, how powerful do you guys think he would've become if he'd eaten a full fruit?

Ok, who let Light Yagami in here?

Before taking any fruit, Turles was at 19,000. After taking a bite, he went to over 300,000. He took a second fruit before being killed by Goku's Spirit Bomb, but if the fruit of the Tree of Might increases its consumer's power level by a set multiplier each time he'd probably be at 4,700,000.

That is a crazy good fruit. It looked juicy too.

What would happen if Frieza ate the fruit? Beerus? Whis?

Pray for your souls, that's what.

They wreck everyone.

Beerus is already one of the most powerful being in the universe. He could probably wreck everything by sneezing if he ate a fruit.

We've all had fun with he powered up in four months, but if frieze ate a fruit, he'd probably be stronger than that.....and still wouldn't train.

Basically, everyone would be up shit's creek.

As for Whis....nothing would change, cause he's not an asshole.

Turns out the fruit bonus is a flat addition rather than multiplication.

I have a message from another time...

And we never got backstory for Mr. Popo, either.

Not that I want them to explore that. Mr. Popo has been irrelevant for too long for it to even matter.

Make Popo playable in DBH, give him a seemingly out-of-place transformation.

Then have Toriyama reveal Popo's true identity... he's a fallen god. (whether he's a Kai, Ma-Kai or whatever Whis is is still unknown)

I don't want Whis' backstory to be explored. Some characters are much better without one.

Whis is much better if he is just a Whis.

If I were making a Dragonball game, I would give him an 'Encyclopedia' entry where the tab for his 'backstory' is a gif of him wagging his finger with the caption "That's a secret" below it.

I like to think that Whis's backstory just isn't that interesting.

He's just a guy. He likes sushi.

Whis' backstory is that he exists because Whis wills it.
