TOEI stands for Too Out of Enterprising Interest.

Wait, TOEI messes up things besides Dragon Ball and Digimon?

So this episode of Super spent more time on the rock-paper-scissor game than on Vegeta. Okay...

I'm glad I'm not the only one who found Trunks/Mai offputting. When the movie came out, one of my friends was ripped into for speaking out against it because it's "so adorable".

For a non fan fiction non fandom specific website, TV Tropes has an oddly large shipping base. Mention Dragon Ball and Saint Seiya in the same sentence and no "who would win" debate. Someone actually comes on the board making jokes about Dragon Ball to prop up Sailor Moon and it's completely ignored. I used to admire your restraint.

I'm not the only one who just thought it was a joke right? I get No Accounting for Taste, I get the massive age gap but Mai and Trunks obviously aren't dating. Trunks just told her to pretend or else he wouldn't forgive that they were in his house stealing and Mai later threatened an imperialistic alien as part of the Running Gag. You're making me remember one of the worst nightmares around the time GT was still running, when people shipped Trunks and Pan\Goten and Bra.

Hey, you know what I didn't like about Episode 8? THE FACT THAT THE ONLY TWO NEW THINGS THIS SERIES HAS TO CONTRIBUTE, CHANPA AND GIRL WHIS, STILL HAVE YET TO SHOW UP!!!

Rinsankajugin Since: Feb, 2012
#24143: Aug 30th 2015 at 8:24:25 PM

I think the only reason people would ship the two in the first place is because they probably don't know or remember who the Pilaf Gang are.

Remember, a huge amount of people in this fandom have never watched or read the original DB.

wild mass guessAnime!Beerus and Show!Whis are actually Chanpa and Wine in disguise, explaining why they are acting earlier and why Beerus is more of a jerk(and had to use 10% of his power just to beat Vegeta)wild mass guess

Not to alarm anyone, but there isn't a single picture of fanart, or official art, of a Super Saiyan fighting a Super Saiyan 2 on the internet, or even standing side by side for the sake of comparison. Anywhere.

I've checked, within the past 5 minutes, not one!

Plenty of group photos, no direct side-by-side's for SS 1 and 2, or even any mock pin-ups. Plenty of SS 4 vs SSG pictures though.

Well some of the video games let you choose which 'form' you want to start out with(and some make separate forms take up multiple character slots)

Trunks/Mai was really creepy and I'm glad it's gone.

And about Toei...Pretty Cure also gets screwed over. A LOT. The season before this had some really terrible animation. Every season has at least one really badly-drawn episode. The current season has partially been an exception because they've started adding CGI Stock Footage to save on costs and animation time.

I too am curious as to when Champa and Fem Whis are going to show up. It shouldn't be too long. They've been in so much promotional material now, they can't keep dragging it on forever.

The rough estimates seem to be that the Bo G arc will end around Ep 12-13. I have a feeling the new stuff will start then. Or at least a little bit of it to lead into Resurrection F.

There's supposedly 100 episodes in the initial order. There's a lot of room for original content.

[up] That was just a placeholder, though.

But even then, I'm sure Toei will want this to go on as long as possible. GT lasted 64 episodes even despite the plunging ratings and poor reception. Heck, it got an extension!

I, personally, can't wait for when Super covers the time in-between Bo G and R'F': Goku and Vegeta training with Whis, Pan's birth, Krillin going to Police Academy, and maybe, just maybe, when they get to Resurrection 'F' they will SHOW FREEZA'S GODDAMN TRAINING!
