it is not out of the question he traced it, but the original did not have black pants so you'd see how the right leg is attached to the body
17 and 18 have about the same amount of scene time.
Toyotaro's perspective is always awful unless it's copied.
But it's only second worst to his necks.
Are you saying 17 and 18 have the same amount of scene time, or that they have the same amount compared to Buu ?
Because both are factually wrong. 18 has no solo scene.

I mean exactly that, her scene time is about the same except 17 got one extra scene by himself.
And it's a bit flaw to used scene time in an opening to decide who will be important. It would be better to look at who got the most character focus before the tournament. By that, it would be Goku, Gohan, Krillin, 17, Vegeta and Piccolo. 17 is odd since he fell off the map after his reintroduction and wasn't even around when Frieza was chosen to replace Buu and Vegeta is just kind of there.

Because fansubbers often have a poor grasp of the Japanese language and fall prey to the most basic of traps in translation: getting so caught up in the words you're translating from that you lose track of what would sound natural/good/make sense...
... And the "I'm so cool/edgy" thing too, you're right. And yeah, Japanese doesn't have really rude words, which is why you can have words like "kuso" ("shit") in shows aimed at children without anyone batting an eyelid. The real rudeness comes more from the content of what you're saying and your intonation than from your choice of words.
Gohan, by the way, is overly polite. He speaks in the polite form of verbs to nearly everyone, including his parents and his wife. I think they're overdoing it, honestly. I really hate it.
His right leg is placed weirdly, it shouldn't look like that, it should be a bit more tilted to the right (left from Trunks' perspective).

Not really. 17 gets a solo shot with him fighting. A static image with both 17 (again) and 18 appears in the background of the Tenshinhan shot afterwards and that's 18's only scene aside from group shots with everyone. The one you could argue having the same presence as 18 is Tenshinhan, since outside of group shots both appear in the same scene, but Tenshinhan is in the foreground and animated, while 18 is in the background and static.
Anyway, yes, I'm not really arguing that the opening will match the importance of the characters, but in Buu's case it did end up suggesting something odd about his presence.

Same, it would a shame to introduce so many characters only to erase them.
The thing is, even if Trunks got the Spirit Sword and finishes off the Zamasu clones in one clean slash the Arc would still be shit because Trunks has done nothing to earn it.
The spirit sword was deus ex machina BS, but at least Trunks deserved that kill, and it was satisfying.

Great as always.
I'm still waiting for that goddamn Planet Sadal episode! Vegeta needs to visit it.
Ah, I've been waiting to see how they handled idiot Goku's finest moments, did not disappoint, haha.
Give Cell a senzu bean, revive Frieza, some things never change huh, Goku?
He looks smaller
THE FUTURE TRUNKS ARC!!!
Is that suppose to be Future Trunks?
It looks like History of Trunks Future Trunks.

our Hero. His job is pretty much desperately trying to keep Mai alive.

Agreed, way better than Buu (and there are sections of Buu I really enjoy but beginning to end, not a huge fan of it, way too Saiyan centered) through GT
If Super can continue to be as good as this arc (i've loved the episodes centered on getting this team together), I think it will be my fav section of the DB story. Beerus is amazing. One of the best things Akira has ever developed. I like what they've done with the supporting cast (Mai in the Black arc for example, Krillin development, Tien and Roshi, it may just be jokes but Yamcha is funny and he gets some screen time, bringing back 17) and bringing in other universes has brought in a feeling of adventure and exploration I think DB lost after the Frieza arc. I think transformations in Super have a lot of potential. Gohan seems to have his own idea for farther power-ups, Black had SSJ Rose in response to SSJ Blue. I think the transformations (maybe not power scale wise, but in terms of being interesting) are more appealing than SSJ2/SSJ/SSJ4 in the back end of Z and GT

You are forgetting what show you are watching haha.
Even still, I'm sure both Zenos and the Grand Priest would know about it.
His arm is too short. Maybe his legs are too thick too, but he may just have puffy pants. Also his head is more to the right that it should be, like if his neck is not in the middle of his shoulders, but on top of his left shoulder.
Basically bad perspective job.
Why would they care?
Just put them all on earth and have Goku and Vegeta kill them. Then wish them back with the DB's after teh tournament.
Shenron might hate them and go evil, but that's a better risk.
The whole "wanting to erase universes" thing doesn't come from them thinking there's too much space.
They explicitly decided which ones are going to go based on the quality of their filthy ningens.
1. There's no guarantee that other universes have as few planets with life on them as Universe 7.
2. How many people are living on those planets? Considering that Earth is a backwater, its population is probably very low in comparison to major planets.
3. Very few people in the universe have the resources to travel from one universe to the next. Remember that Jaco considered the idea of moving to the center of the galaxy ridiculous, and since he's employed by and has close contact with the Galactic Emperor, he's probably got at least fairly modern (although probably not cutting edge) space travel technology. It would mostly be the high gods spending all their time warping people around.
...Oh, wait, I completely forgot the Dragonballs. I guess you'd need the Super Dragonballs, though, how quickly could someone gather those?

Not nearly quick enough, seeing as they are already collected for the upcoming tournament.

I'm just gonna take this part here because we keep going in circles on this point. Being in different bodies meant they have different cells, of course. Their cells only bonded in such a way during the fusion, so it doesn't matter that the two bodies had different cells beforehand. The point that was made is that the cells bonded during their fusion.
Oh heck yeah. Excited for
Krillin's
It turns out
Krillin was actually the one "holding back" against Goku in their fight.
The climax in general I think is better than the anime. If it keeps up It'll end up beating the anime version of the Black arc for me.
WAY better than last episode
but what is with TFS and the "repeated line" humor. I just get a cringey feeling at that now.

Doesn't this kind of undermine his thing of "tactics bridging the power gap" if they just make him super strong now

I hope that in episode 99
Krillin brings back his aura fist thing from his two parter. Those two episodes were written by the lead writer, so I don't think it's something that will be ignored.

All the tactics in the world wouldn't allow Saiyan saga Yamcha to hang with Freeza saga Goku. There needs to be a balance

Sounds good to me.
They did.
They had them train together after Krilin's episode.
Basically the only confirmed shit tier in the team is Tien shin Han. Everybody else is gonna be whatever the writers want.
Eh, they had a sparring match to decide who gets the winnings. That really isn't training.
And it confirms Krillin is significantly weaker than 18, which RoF confirmed anyway.
