FearfulDivine was saying:
So he just gets Super Saiyan not even a minute after being knocked out of False Super Saiyan?
The author already said Lord Slug movie wasn't canon (he did not go "false super saiyan"). The whole point of the Lord Slug movie was that it had Goku going "Super Saiyan" before he did in the manga/anime, and Akira Toriyama hadn't settled on his hair turning gold, so the movie had him like, a reddish hue with the gold aura. It was a bad move on the anime/movie writers to do that, in all honestly.
gokublack was saying:
what does that mean. what kritoad said.
Not sure if you're serious, but I'll bite.
He's making lewd innuendo. He's talking about PNIS* size.
Is that PG-13 enough?
Surprised it worked for Kiritoad, though this situation was always weird in the original of DBZ, how you have Krillin, Bulma (dressed like she was in this little section of the story in her skivvies), and Gohan stuck in the middle.
Toriyama was always kind of like that. He liked smoking, he liked women, drinking, etc. He liked crass humor like potty jokes, and dirty jokes, fan service, etc.
Note that Bulma started off at like, 16 years old when Dragon Ball started and thrown into weird situtations (though a LOT of other anime do that too, both old and more recent anime alike).
I think Toriyama would've laughed at this joke. 2 Replie(s)
Looking forward to see how Nappa mellowed out after meeting Gohan/Nasu.

You know, for as much crap people give Dragon Ball Super (a lot of it definitely deserved), I did like that they gave Trunks SSJ2 at some point after he finished with the androids and cell in his timeline. He met with the Kais, and took care of Majin Buu, without Buu awakening too. He solved it much easier I think, than the mainline universe/timeline (because Vegeta's ego wasn't involved, etc.).
Anyway, you'd think Trunks would've trained enough to achieve SSJ2, and then find a way to improve that (maybe combine the "super Saiyan grade 3/ultra SSJ, etc." with SSJ2, which'd bulk him up, but also increase the power even further). He'd potentially stand a chance in this tournament, or more of a chance in the tourney. Heck, he uses a sword, what if Trunks trained with the Z-sword in DB Multiverse's version of events, like, that'd make more sense than Gohan training with the Z-Sword in DBZ (considering Gohan trained with a sword a bit while he was a child, before he knew how to fight, Piccolo gave Gohan a little sword so he could learn to defend himself from like, wild animals and dinosaurs, etc.). A Z-Sword Trunks would be badass, and if he broke the sword, then we get another Elder Kai to give us a Mystic Trunks or something.
I don't think we got a "Mystic/Ultimate Trunks" in any video game/dragon ball heroes, etc. what-ifs, even though we've seen SSJ3 Trunks (and beyond), "Spirit Saiyan" Trunks, and so forth. Like, it'd make sense if Trunks worked with the Z-Sword in some canon of DragonBall, because he's literally a sword character. 2 Replie(s)

goochskun was saying: DBZGirlOnFire was saying: ... this idea is hardly original. Neat to finally see it being applied to Dragon Ball, but it's rediculously common ever since video games existed. There's similar concepts in media like Ben 10 and Animorphs. It's disingenuous at best to say it was "copied" from DBM. Anyone would have gotten to this trope sooner or later in media like Dragon Ball.
Yeah exactly this isn’t exactly a new idea and I’m sorry but I really don’t think dbm is the inspiration for any of dbs. Dbm is cool and all that but let’s be honest it’s not “massive” or big enough for toriyama/toyotora/toei to steal ideas from it
I mean Toyotaro was discovered through his fan manga of Dragonball AF by Shueisha. You think he wasn't reading other fan works back then or even sometimes now? He constantly talks about fans and seems to legitimately care about appealing to us while making a far reaching story.
He isn't wholesale stealing from anyone, but great authors of all types and all levels borrow and adapt good ideas that they run into over time.

I saw a few pages of Toyotaro from his previous fanwork, DB AF, and it was a fight between Vegeta and a villain where Vegeta was quickly swapping between SSJ forms just like this, and they explained that he could use speed/lower ki consumption of lower forms, then flip on the switch to a higher form to hit really hard when he needed to.
Some people are noticing, the font IS different on this page, maybe this IS a fake out, some kind of illusion or mass hypnosis, or something else (someone having a vision of the future?) There wasn't count down, or "check his pulse" moment, as there typically is. So holding any judgment (even if Goku lost, he'll get a second chance, we know, comic's not over)

People are saying "They're not showing his eyes, they're shaded out, so he must be mind-controlled by XXI."
Are you serious? Have you not read a single comic or manga before? It's a common technique in like comics/manga, whatever, that when they darken the eyes like that, it's showing that South is PISSED. He's angry, enraged, if you saw the last page, you saw him glaring at them as the beat the tar out Raditz. What shocked me is that he just decked the Old Kai too, don't think we ever saw someone actually attack Old Kai in official sources. He's an old man, but also a Supreme Kai (or former one). You'd think South would be showing more reverence to his elder, but it goes to show, how ANGRY South Kai is. He's seen the tournament interrupted again and again, and even one of the other Kais was "corrupted" or otherwise "influenced" by Zen Buu (he wasn't mind controlled by Zen Buu, but had his way of thinking swayed by him). This whole tournament has been going tits up since the start, and South is just sick of it, unwilling to listen to reason. He sees Old Kai as plotting to take out another contestant, one of the finalists, and doesn't really want to hear the excuse, because they've had several cases of things just going out of control, and South is probably just sick of everything going wrong repeatedly.
Zen Buu trying to take over several times, Babidi taking over, I'K'L doing his thing, and Broly going ape shit at the start too. At least 4 insurrections by participants. It IS a good showing of how he's probably sick of his whole tournament, and it's likely gonna show him just wishing to get the tournament done and over with, and get everyone sent back to their own universes, and wash his hands of the whole affair forever.
Thinking about it, nothing in this tournament has gone right, and these are the most powerful people in the multiverse, and they don't get along, and keep trying to destroy the whole tournament, taking over the place, etc. Many of these contestants are as strong as, if not stronger than the Gods (Kais) themselves.

I see several things (people have pointed out lots of stuff). XXI has a limited bag of tricks. He's got his . . . "Buddy": a new type of dragon that can only grant answers to questions? Maybe a genie instead? Who knows? His Buddy only has a limited amount of questions they'll answer (the Buddy asked him if he wanted to know the answer to "how did this guy get in my room" when Zen Buu's little self that was floating around giving powerups/help to everyone in secret. XXI said no, but DID ask to know how to beat Android 18 easily. The answer was a remote control that could disable the androids. Sounds similar to Bulma's device that she made to defeat the androids during the Cell saga (that Krillin ended up breaking). Maybe when he devours/absorbs people, he can only use them until they die (again?), maybe he can't replenish them once they're gone. BUT he can absorb new people. He didn't use Janemba against Android 18 (didn't want to "waste" him and lose his surprise). He didn't use him against Vegetto (I imagine Vegetto is stronger than Janemba, and if he couldn't absorb Vegetto and use him, he'd be out of luck). He used the time dilation thing (reminds me of the time chamber, maybe he's absorbed Kami or whoever made the time chamber on the Lookout). He probably planned to absorb/devour, then use Gast, since he lost Janemba, probably his biggest trump card. He won the fight, but lost his trump card that he can't replenish (he can't replace Janemba with Gast).
However, my guess about what is happening next, Bra is going to act on her own, and try and reason with XXI. She's going to walk into his room, get absorbed/devoured, and then get used by XXI to fight Goku in the final round. We're going to see a Goku vs Bra fight.
However this goes down, this is gonna cause Vegetto to lose his mind.

papupata was saying:
Oh he's letting Bracaa go? That's generous... And gives Bracaa a chance to regenerate, regroup, and attack again later.
If he prevents Bracca from returning to the demon realm, it's possible Bracca has a son of his own, who would come there to find/avenge his father (still a possibility if Bracca does return to the Demon Realm, and any possible heirs or replacements would take his place and go return to Namek). Maybe there's no demons stronger than Bracca atm in the Demon Realm though, and if Bracca returns, all the other demons see he got humbled and chopped to bits like this (losing BADLY) and they think twice about trying to repeat Bracca's assault on Namek.
I doubt Bracca would turn GOOD, but maybe the humiliation will prevent him from trying this stuff again.

I wonder why Goku is old. I mean, it's pretty cool to have him as an old master, but dead people dont age, right? And even if he did die super old, there's nothing stopping his "other world body" to be young... right? But I digress.
I am really loving this whole concept.
I am really loving this whole concept.
I mean, Grandpa Gohan, in Dragon Ball, was old when he died, and he showed up as old when he was fighting kid Goku during that whole arc with Baba. Maybe your "spirit body" shows you as old as you were when you die? Goku can probably be as strong as he was in his prime, since he's a spirit or whatever, but he just looks as old as he was whenever he died. 1 Replie(s)

"Joke is over!" That doesn't make sense in English. The translation is really bad here.
"Playtime is over!" or "No more games!" Would make more sense for the translation (My preference for the first one, since it's closer to the intention).
I hope to Kami that Piccolo is able to regenerate these wounds, but the fight is dragging out awfully long. I share some sentiments about people complaining that Bracca shouldn't be this much stronger than Piccolo. The problem is Piccolo seems just to be fighting with no plan on how to deal with Bracca's immortality, AND he got stronger arbitrarily with a second form. It does get frustrating. 1 Replie(s)

Also, "Ultimate" leaves no room for growth, like, "oh, he's ULTIMATE Gohan, he can't get any better, he's at the top" when DBS showed there's more room for growth of forms.
Gohan stopped training for awhile, but in the movie DBS Super Hero, he managed to tap into his SSJ powers, his "ultimate/mystic" power, then tapped into "Gohan Beast" power to "get stronger than Goku or Vegeta." (which is kind of a cop out, honestly, like, I get they want Goku and Vegeta to have something to reach for, but giving Gohan a new form that's stronger than Goku and Vegeta who trained themselves so much to reach Ultra instinct/Ultra Ego, but have Gohan suddenly, arbitrarily get stronger than them again is unfair, even though I wanted Gohan to get some development in the movie). 1 Replie(s)

Bra doing multiple strikes that are so fast they look like one strike, is that Dragon Ball reference? Goku vs Krillin if I recall correctly?
Geez. It's a Fist of the North Star reference (the Japanese name of which translates to "Fist of the Big Dipper" but it doesn't roll off the tongue as well). The scars on Kenshiro's (the main character) chest are in the shape of the big dipper, and his main techniques involve attacking various acupuncture points on his enemy's body (really fast, like faster than the eye can see), often making them explode in a shower of blood ("Omae Wa Mou Shindeiru" aka "you're already dead", he'd hit his opponents a bunch of times really fast, they don't even notice it, he'd announce he'd already killed them, they take a moment to move, then they explode into blood and gore). It's like, the grand daddy of shounen, the manga starting right before dragon ball started in the early 80s. It inspired many other manga artists such as the author of Berserk, and the early Jojo parts were inspired by it as well. The story is basically like Mad Max but with Martial Arts (a post-apocalyptic world run by gangs and thugs in makeshift armor and such, much like the style of mad max).

She's right about Tambo not deserving to fight or kill his father, but what can she actually do to help? Have we actually seen her fight much yet? I remember her disarming an alarm, and jumping over a fence. Does she have any fight in her though? I'm imagining if Bulma showed up and told like, Yamcha she'd help Goku out against an opponent, and Bulma can't fight whatsoever (talking about a scenario in OG Dragon Ball, not Z of course, this series harkens back to adventuring in OG Dragon Ball). 3 Replie(s)

Unfortunately, they could not. We already saw a wish made to teleport Goku back to earth but since he was able to refuse it then that must mean if your strong enough then the Dragon or creator of the Dragon, has to get their consent. It's similar logic as to why the main cast couldn't kill the Saiyan on their way to Earth since they were stronger than Kami. It's also good since it means the Dragon Balls can't literally solve all of the main cast's big bad problems, like instead of teleporting Piccolo to Namek, they could have teleported Freeza to a sun or off world.
I do think there were other options like undoing Piccolo's petrification and then while Piccolo kept the other guy busy give him his youth back so he's a match for him.

On one hand, I hate to use GT as an example of anything, but Goku was insanely strong at the beginning of GT, and they (Pilaf) used A SET of dragon balls (A set that shouldn't have existed, because they were Evil Piccolo's balls or something, the Black Star Dragon Balls, and didn't exist in the canon of OG and Z) to wish Goku into a kid again against his will (one could argue because they were evil dragon balls, they could go by a different set of rules). In GT, dragon balls could be used against the user's will to do stuff to them.
On the other hand, GT isn't considered canon by anyone except as part of a multiverse for games and side stories (Super Dragon Ball Heroes, Xenoverse, Dragon Ball FighterZ, etc.)
Some of the rules that surround the dragonballs are unclear/inconsistent.

Bojack has heard about Zanya's ruthlesness from others in jail.
Zanya likely heard plenty of Yumcha's crimanl and likely rape vested track record from others. An excuse to protect there newly discovered secret weapon to dispose of a danger to a dangerous thrister will do.

I agree. 1) Fodder guy's (Yumcha?) a creep and dangerous (Zangya probably doesn't like him considering she just merced one of her "allies", what were the odds that he would try something creepy with her?). 2) Bujin's powers are unique, she probably sees him as more useful than a brute (same with Bojack probably seeing him as useful to keep around). 3) MAYBE she feels sorry for him a little? Or just wants to keep the "nice guy" with the cool powers on her side. None of Bojack's gang are very nice or loyal to each other. Bojack killed Zangya to try and get Gohan in the movie, when she showed weakness/fear. She's manipulative.
Bujin's probably the ONLY "nice" one here honestly, the introvert with cool powers stuck in a rotten situation he probably doesn't want to be in, but he feels he probably can't get out now, because it's too late. I like it, makes him relatable.
Also, the art is really good, I like it, it's different from the typical anime/Akira Toriyama-like art style. Better than the first Bojack special's art, definitely. Less said about that the better lol

Pretty cool idea to have Turles work for Cold rather than Frieza. Maybe Frieza offered his dad a Saiyan soldier.
Is he actually related to Goku though because despite appearances I was under the impression that Bardock had two kids and Turles wasn't one of them (I haven't seen the movie in over 10 years).
Is he actually related to Goku though because despite appearances I was under the impression that Bardock had two kids and Turles wasn't one of them (I haven't seen the movie in over 10 years).
He's not related to Goku in any way (other being Saiyan). He's literally "just another Saiyan that escaped the destruction of planet Vegeta and happens to look just like Goku" (probably was going for "what would've happened if Goku never landed on Earth and became good").
Most of the movies aren't considered canon, and most of them aren't that original, in all honesty. Tree of Might (the one Turles came from), was a rehash of the Saiyan saga; we had Android 13 movie literally rehashing more androids (though the English dub and the TFS DBZA versions gave the androids in that movie a lot more personality than the original Japanese version); you had Cooler literally being Frieza's brother (a sibling to Frieza being introduced in a non-canon movie), and comes back like a terminator (just like Frieza before he gets cut down by Trunks), and attempts to take over New Namek (just like Frieza did). Fusion Reborn's Janemba was a lot like Majin Buu (a child-like villain that only seeks to destroy), though I really liked the art and the fight choreography. Lord Slug brought back King Piccolo from the original DB. Dead Zone was a continuation of OG Dragonball, and that was a non-canon movie that was later continued in a non-canon filler arc after the Freiza arc (Garlic Junior arc). (Dead Zone did have really good animation, and choreography with its fight scenes).
Anyway, I digress from my tangent.
Turles never had much of a backstory: Saiyan warrior survives the destruction of his homeworld, HAPPENS to look like Goku, so show what could've happened if Goku never became good after landing on Earth (this movie pre-dated the introduction of Bardock), and he became a wandering space pirate with a crew of weird alien minions. He has a seed for a tree that grows magic fruit somehow. That was about it for his story. They revisited the space pirate shit with Bojack, who was a literal pirate in space.
Honestly? Constructive criticism? The English translation needs work. "Mr. Cooler" doesn't make sense, "Lord Cooler" would make a lot more sense (he's not Mr. Rogers, he's a dictator).

They did call that group on the last page a terrorist group but that might be propaganda (since it's easy to justify murdering millions of innocent people by saying "we gotta stop the terrorists", after all, the worst terrorists on Earth today do just that) rather than them being an actual terrorist group (though that I wouldn't be sure of) themselves.
Point is that the Pride Trooper's integrity should probably be called into question by Toppo's decisions there. Toppo's decision to be a Hakaishin seemed to have even undermined any chance of winning the ToP as rather than actually do teamwork they try to fight on their own (Toppo trying to take on Frieza and #17 and then Vegeta and Jiren trying to take on Goku, Vegeta, Frieza and #17, both people lost ultimately). I have to admit it does make the Pride Troopers hell of a lot more interesting with this aspect of the story.

In DBS the Gods of Destruction are not really villains (aside from universe 9, dunno whats up with them even their supreme kai is evil). Remember that Universe 7 has the third lowest mortal score = Beerus has done his job not so good. So destroying planets on a whim as Beerus displays in a sort of villainous act is not the norm. Universe 11 has the fourth highest mortal score, so Clown person is actually quite a good man. In the manga I believe it is implied he works with the Pride Troopers quite regularly and is on good terms, which is I guess exactly why Toppo is his chosen successor.
I ain't saying they are villains like you know, thieves, terrorists, and criminal organization type of villains. I am saying they are destroyers. Destroying planets is in the job description for destroyer gods and the fact that Toppo would accept that is telling of his own character and that he don't live up to his ideals of justice (which Toppo already demonstrated in the Tournament of Power). Destroyers (gods or not) are the very kind of people superheroes fight all the time to protect people from annihilation). It's the kind of people Superman fights for instance as well as many others. You don't even have to be a superhero to wanna fight those types but you can't be a superhero and become a destroyer god. I am actually more surprised that Belmod and Toppo aren't enemies (though let's be real, Jiren would beat his clown ass) when I first saw the characters (obviously they were allies during the ToP, but that's a different situation where the entirety of U11 was at jeopardy.
But you may have a point and I might be wrong on this, U11's destroyer god might not abuse his powers and only ever uses them if absolutely necessary (like if there was a credible threat to the universe). And because of that Toppo and Belmod have good relations and Belmod would allow Toppo to succeed him. And Toppo's strength might be owed to his training with Belmod, not to mention Jiren's. Also on a small footnote I think U11 has the fifth-highest mortal score (during the ToP, if U11 was 4th I think U11 would have been exempt from competing) and U7 had the second lowest score (during the ToP, 2nd only to U9). As for U9's supreme kai (lol), he might be a douchebag but was he half as bad as Zamasu (U10) towards people?
But dang, to think Beerus would be more evil than a destroyer god that looks like an evil clown, I guess those horror movies should stop tarnishing the name of clowns everywhere.
Gods of Destruction aren't really evil. They're more like forces of nature. Their job is necessary. Beerus himself said it at some point: "Before creation, comes destruction". Their role is to bring a balance to their Universe by destroying what needs to be destroyed. Sure, they can abuse their power and end up destroying people and planets out of anger or whims, but that's not in the job description. And even more than that, if you look at it from a big picture perspective, even that destruction may be necessary to be able to bring forward new life forms and planets that take the place of the ones destroyed.
So, in short, Toppo wanting to become a GoD after being the leader of the Pride Troopers it's not contradictory. It just changes the scale in which he does things. As a Pride Trooper he helps in more clearly visible and direct ways, that are less ambiguous, but also have a smaller extent to their effect. Where as a GoD his job would be to bring balance into the Universe, even if that means doing things that at first seem to cause just the opposite.
Think of it like entropy in our actual universe. You could argue that living beings dying and stars and planet seizing to exist is sad and nothing good can come out of it. But objectively, it's all just part of a cycle and what those living beings leave behind gets used to "create" new life. In the DB universe those tasks are not randomly ocurring but caused by different kinds of Godly beings. This particular one is the Gods of Destruction's task.
I get the abstract justification, but I can't imagine a case where it would be "good" for a Destroyer to just explode a planet. Maybe if it was like the Saiyans in U7?

What if we had a planet of Frieza's clan/Frost Demons, just plotting, planning to take over everything? They were training to get insanely powerful and take over the universe? You can't talk them out of it, because they're born conquerors, and incredibly powerful.
The God of Destruction decides to Blow up the whole planet with them on it. Maybe that's where their invasion force is gathering, you wipe them out while they're about to leave.
You probably just saved the universe from being taken over by Friezas. 1 Replie(s)

Except for that time he fought frieza and that time with broly.
While giving up against Frieza is a legit counterpoint, since he got demoralized, after all his power ups/zenkai abuse, thinking he was strong enough to be considered a super saiyan, he was STILL completely out-classed by Frieza's final form (and Frieza wasn't even at 100% power in that final form).
We don't like to talk about that time with Broly (honestly was a pretty stupid thing to do in that movie, Vegeta wasn't written well, there IMHO). Out of all the stuff that went wrong in that movie (Broly fixating on Goku because Goku CRIED A LOT as a kid, instead of fixating on the son of the person who ordered him killed, bringing Broly back 2 more times for 2 more movies, maybe the original Funimation dub using edgelord licensed music), I feel Vegeta just . . . giving up immediately upon seeing Broly's SSJ power up was pretty stupid. Second stupidest thing was the whole fixation on Goku thing. The DBS Broly movie fixed that issue, and added another potential protag to the team. Would be an epic team up, Goku, Vegeta, and Broly teaming up against someone like Black Frieza (or some other villain not introduced yet)?
Anyway, takeaways from this page: Vegeta isn't out of the fight yet, he had enough strength left to break the arena floor beneath him (thereby stopping the countdown, since he isn't laying "on the ground" anymore, he's in the air. Then he seems to be charging up an attack with his hand. I don't think he's gonna do "something classy," (instantly blowing up Goku with that insta-death move, seems to only work on someone really weaker than the user, else it'd be super OP), but he IS going to attack with some kind of ki blast. Looking forward to the next page.

It's more retconned or just interpretation.
Not sure about the manga but the anime said the same wish cannot be granted twice, so that would cover someone being wished back twice but even that is worded open to interpretation i.e someone being revived twice even if the wish was something like the first time "Wish back person A" and another time was "Wish back ALL the people who died on X day"
I always wondered if it was an anime only line but wasn't it also said that all God's creatures die when he dies, not specifically Shenron.
And no, Dende's DB's couldn't revive a person more than once that was why Goku wasn't ressurected after he died because of Cell.

Not true about Goku not being ABLE to be revived because he died to Cell. He was UNWILLING to be revived, because apparently being revived requires consent of the person being revived in the afterlife (just like how they wanted to use the dragon balls to bring Goku from space back to Earth after Namek was destroyed during his fight with Frieza, but Goku didn't want to be brought back to Earth yet).
So certain wishes require consent of the person it'll affect. Goku wanted to stay dead when he died fighting Cell, because he didn't want more strong enemies to target him, he figured Earth would be safe with now SSJ2 Gohan defending it (unfortunately, that was not the case).
He didn't want to leave space after Namek blew up due to Frieza (he was assumedly on Yarderat training in Instant Transmission, but I forget when they tried exactly to make that wish). That whole thing was kinda weird, because originally, I think Akira Toriyama wanted Goku to be gone/dead, potentially ending the series there, or opening it up for Gohan to take over there.

Well, yes, she is the Greek Goddess, but in the LORE of Saint Saiya (Because there's a lot of Weeb/Anime references in this comic), Athena would show up whenever someone needed advice (maybe after whenever someone got their ass kicked like this, I only watched some of the original series, and there's a lot of episodes, and sequels, spinoffs, etc. it's a lot like Dragon Ball in that regard, and popular in different parts of the world, I think it's popular in Latin America). The Deities of Saint Saiya are all Greek Deities, and they end up fighting a bunch of evil ones I think.

Chapter 50 (universe 18, "Two Brothers") shows Kakarot teaching Raditz to "be his own scouter," and showed him he could both detect energy without a scouter, and hide his own power level. We don't see when he learns this, but he befriended Krillin briefly before killing Master Roshi. He must have picked it up somehow while being on Earth for so many years.

2) Save U19 from Carbonite Chaos
3) Bring back the deceased in U12 from the destruction caused by the Androids.
The year-limit, at least in the original manga, was only ever said to apply to large groups of people. Individuals don't fall under this banner, as far as we know - there are a bunch of instances people plan to bring someone back after a year has passed (Goku in the Saiyan Saga, Krillin in the King Piccolo saga, I thiiiiiiiink some of the dead Z-Fighters in the Namek Saga), though it didn't end up happening for one reason or another. While not canon to DBM, they do bring back Frieza after many years - it's commonly cited as a plot hole, but...it's not really, I don't think.

In the Resurrection of F movie/arc of Super, the dragon is unable to FULLY revive Frieza back into one piece, but they used the dragon balls to wish part of his body back to life after gathering the pieces of it, and then they use the improved regeneration technology of the Frieza empire remnants (developed during the time Frieza was dead, and his empire was being run by a few of his stronger minions), to fully regenerate his body. He was weakened for a bit, but after recovering, and finding out how ridiculously strong Goku and Vegeta became, he started to train to surpass them (putting in motion the events of the movie/arc).
Now, about time limits for resurrections, each dragon balls had their own set of (arbitrary) limits imposed upon them by the strength of the creator of the dragon balls (and honestly, plot contrivances). These three wishes the Namekians of the Vargas' universe don't necessarily have the same limits of those dragon balls of Earth (both Kami's original 1 wish balls, and Dende's 2 wish balls), or Namek's 3 wish balls. Honestly, I think, if you need a comparison, just think of them something like the "Super Drgaon Balls" introduced by Dragon Ball Super. They were used a few times through the run (the tournament between Beerus and Champas' universes, used during Zamasu during the Goku Black arc, and of course, the prize of the Tournament of Power). If Trunks were able to get his wishes from DBM's tournament, he'd probably have no trouble wishing back the Z Fighters, rebuilding civilization, etc.
Though why the hell hasn't Bulma, who was able to make a TIME MACHINE by this point, out of sheer desperation to save their world, able to make another spaceship, and go off to New Namek or something to borrow their balls? They have the time to build stuff, they've rebuilt some of civilization by this point, so she doesn't have to do it all alone. Bulma's a living deus ex machina able to come up with time machines, a button to shut down the androids (albeit in a different timeline), repair the androids, and she worked with her father to build spaceships for the whole Namek arc (repaired Kami's old ship for Gohan, Krillin, and herself, and there was a second ship made for Goku to get to Namek to help everyone). Bulma's OP smart. lol
I'm reminded of TFS's running gag with Dr. Briefs (Bulma's father) keeping a sub-lab filled with unborn clones of his wife (and the joke where Yajirobe goes and eats them, not realizing they were unborn clones, so the good doctor goes at him with a shotgun lol).

She's shaken to the core about what she did while mind controlled, to her family and loved ones, the way she's alienated Pan (rightly so), and the way her father treated her.

My theory is that hint that the spell Bird Lady on Page 2042 tried to cast with the boombox is going to be the thing to defeat Zen Buu. I think Uub is gonna come out of that room after training with Zen Buu, and use his new found magic power to recite the spell that the boombox said. The only reason that recording of the spell didn't do anything is because it probably takes a being with magic to recite the spell. Also thinking, since it seems these enemies are at the power of each of their opponents, they just need to swap opponents with weaker fighters to take out the weaker Buu clones. I can see our Z-Fighters in U18 thinking of something like that. (U18 IS the base DBZ universe for all intents and purposes, right? With Goku, Vegeta, Uub, et al?)

I remember that episode where kid Trunks and Goten fought with Popo, but that was a filler bit that didn't happen in the manga (like the whole Garlic Junior arc in the anime didn't happen because it relied on a non-canon movie). No way Popo could take one super saiyan on, let alone two of them.
Now if this was TFS's Mr. Popo, then it'd be a different story altogether lol
If you look at Uub's face, his eyes are barely open. I'm thinking he's on the verge of passing out from pain. He's probably going to miss this punch and pass out in Goku's arms or something. There's no way Goku could counter this except by Uub messing up somehow.
Yeah, thinking the same thing. Goku's barely been able to react with out fast and strong Uub has become with this Transcendent Kaioken technique, but Uub isn't able to handle it. He's gonna choke (aka, pass out at the precipice of victory). Goku is winning, simply because his opponent couldn't handle his own power long enough to seal the victory. Goku's going to be proud of Uub though, for surpassing him for the moment. Hell, I'M proud of Uub here.
This is way better than Uub was treated in GT. Dude trained for years with Goku, was only capable of doing SOMETHING briefly because he was able to do a fusion with Good Buu (had little to do with how good he was or trained), then lost anyway, and was pointless for the rest of the series. 1 Replie(s)

Uub is down for the count. Look at his eyes, he's practically knocked out already. Even if he hits goku, this wont be enough to knock him out anymore.
Even so... well done Uub, you surprised Goku and gave him a good beating that will in turn remind him that soon he'll have someone on par with him and vegeta to spar with.

Mistranslation or Ginyu has a great sense of humor.

Sounds like a Freudian Slip (either on the translator's or Ginyu-Cold's part). lol
It should be "My humble and sincere APOLOGIES." =P 1 Replie(s)

Did everyone suddenly forget...or is that a sliding slope of doom that escape my notice.
What I am saying here is. Everyone has now be stricken with the idiot ball and no one is doing anything about it.
TELEPATHY
IDIOTS!

Do you remember every time Goku used telepathy in Z, he was literally holding King Kai's back/shoulder (aka using King Kai as a telepathic radio), unless you meant teleportation/instant transmission.
Wonder what Piccolo's plan with Majin Buu is, whether it's to absorb someone, or to have Majin Buu turn Brolly into candy, though makes you wonder if he'd be able to resist it or be able to move despite being a candy (a la that scene in Z where Vegito gets turned into candy, and still keeps fighting).
I feel bad for this Z team, they're likely all doomed, because we know this is before the tournament, Broly probably destroys the whole universe or some such, which is why we find him frozen in ice. 2 Replie(s)
I would say Vegeta and Goku both in SSJ2 are about equal in strength, but perhaps Vegeta won because at this point in time, he's the more SKILLED fighter. Skill IS a thing in fighting, you know. Goku fights for fun and to protect his friends, to get stronger, Vegeta wants to beat Goku and get stronger than him. Also, Vegeta's somewhat of a prodigy (something that I think was brought up in Super, not that it's entirely relevant to something that was created independently of Super), Vegeta never trained under anyone, he was just naturally strong, abused his saiyan biology at times, and was really determined to get stronger. He trained under ridiculously high gravity after finding out Goku trained under 100x gravity back during Namek. Vegeta, while not achieving SSJ3, he probably was able to surpass his limits, and has been watching everything Goku has been doing for ages. He probably has Goku's weaknesses pretty pegged by now as well.

Villain: I'm in your head, you can't destroy me!
Vegetto: Jokes on you, I can destroy anything! I destroy my head!
Villain: . . . wait what?
Vegetto: blows own head off with a ki blast
In all seriousness, it's probably Bra, or maybe some manifestation of his own inner darkness.
Also, as an aside, with all the focus on Vegetto, Majin Bra, etc. we hadn't gotten much from Goku and Vegeta lately (since they're stuck in the middle of nowhere with Vegetto, and all the other strong fighters). Hopefully we get to see Goku and Vegeta actually do stuff soon after this special is over. (though I am glad all the other characters have been getting the spotlight, unlike in the Dragonball Super anime and manga).

The Big Gete Star was saying:
It's just like Vegeta to go after the boss instead of helping out Kakarot or Raditz. It's also just like Vegeta to get his ass beat, like what's about to happen in the next page.
If Vegeta was smart, he'd help the others out with their fights, then take on Slug together. But of course, Geets will probably get his ass handed to him. He can't sense ki, unlike Raditz and Kakarot can. Maybe this experience will force them to learn from one another and make each of them stronger (Vegeta and Nappa can learn to sense ki, and Raditz and Kakarot could get stronger/abuse zenkai boosts)? They're probably going to be forced into submission by Slug over there.
Wasn't Goku supposed to fight Bra in the tournament? I'm starting to think THIS is why Bra isn't going to be taken down here. Goku's gotta have his big fight (we haven't seen him in a long time, since he, Vegeta, and everyone else is stuck looking for the arena). Hoping Zen Buu does something about that. Never thought I'd be eager to see Goku fight someone (considering how much action Goku got in GT/Super).

Like, even if Cooler can go toe-to-toe with SSJ Vegeta (he has his 5th form as a trump card), even if Cooler can survive this fight, the optics of him getting beaten on camera will NOT look good, especially if there's any resistance (like any group that is against him, rebel forces, etc.) that exists within his kingdom (looking at it from a political point of view).
This should be fun. And Vegeta deserves a win anyway, looking forward to this fight. I like the art too. Well done.
Likely result, Vegeta should win, even with 5th form Cooler, if Vegeta is anywhere near as strong as Goku, considering how much/hard he trained during this time preparing for the androids, he'd likely be able to beat Cooler, just like Goku did in the first Cooler movie.
