Didn't Cell return as that horrible monster thing in DB Online? Toriyama was pretty involved in it, right?
Apparently Towa is to blame in-universe

I just remembered he'd have to wrestle Gohan for his hat to get the fourth Dragon Ball. The main cast are such a bunch of jerks just hogging that power to themselves. Like Bulma is already the richest person on Earth, let someone else use it already.

Bulma and Goku are the real villains confirmed. Thats why Vegeta married Bulma, she is an evil, rich mastermind

That will never not be awful >.>
 
Toriyama was involved with DBO but I wouldn't consider anything in it canon, since it was first and foremost an MMORPG and Toriyama was likely working on it with that genre in mind.

For example, Buu creating an entire race of little Buu boys and Buu girls is an idea that was obviously done with gameplay in mind and has no reason to happen in the manga/anime continuity.

The key word in that tweet is "therefore," meaning he isn't considered an Earthling/human.

But that his opinion.

Tenshinhan went out there because he got suicidal after Chaozu went out. Every fight after that Ten has been more active than Kuririn.

He missed an entire saga and the only thing of note he did in the Cell Saga was hold down Cell. Krillin was not only active in the Android/Cell Saga, he personally killed Cell in Gero's lab and got everyone to spare 16. He did have a moment in the Buu Saga and Krillin still got more scene time than him. Also, Krillin was far more active then Tien in the Saiyan since he killed four Saibermen by himself while Tien only took out one, would have killed Nappa and Vegeta did tell Nappa to dodged, threw the Spirit Bomb at Vegeta, and would have killed Vegeta if Goku didn't tell him to not to.

One of the many reasons I don't think Tien is gonna do anything cool (though I want him to) is the fact the Super writers obviously don't know or care about him.

He's been pretty timid and lame despite previously being shown as pretty brave (at least braver than Krillin). He used Kikoho whenever he needed some ki blast, despite the fact it's supposed to be life draining (it doesn't even do that neat camera effect thing inside his hands anymore) and the fact he has other, less dangerous moves.

The guy who used the Shin Kikoho against Cell even when he knew it was ultimately futile should never be considered timid. That's a major fuck up, it's like they've never seen the character before.

Indeed. His fight against King Piccolo, Nappa and Cell, has always shown that he was ready to throw his life away.

Timid? Please.
 
Don't know if this has already been discussed. It appears that the LATAM opening might get replaced for the superior Adrian Barba version.

Problem: the original singer closed his social media accounts because of all the hate from the fans.

On one hand, it would be nice to have Barba back for that opening and the second one as well. On the other, it's kind of disgusting that people think that it's okay to harass someone just because they don't like the lyrics.

I liked the 17 action in the last episode but man, the reused footage throughout the episode was really offputting.

I think it might be a reference to Sailor Moon and all magical girl anime in general? How they always reuse animation for the transformation sequence. Even then it really was off-putting.

Ehhh I think the bigger purpose was to save money.
The amount of times watching the stupid animation of Cleopatra saying something and extending her arm, man...

Did 17 attack the magical girls just so they could use the same piece of animation again?

It's a joke about the Magical Girl trope where stock animation is used in every episode. Like all the times Sailor Moon transforms. So in this case, the reused animation was part of the joke.

I'm going down with the Tenshinhan ship, he'll do something awesome, you just wait!

How many arcs are we waiting?

I really don't like these tournament rules. I already know there are going to be characters from the other universes I end up liking, and having them get wiped out because they lose a garbage ass battle royale will suck. That said, I'm not entirely convinced the whole universe erasing thing is actually gonna happen. I think something will stop it from happening.

One Kai put it best in that episode. The fate of many of the universes depends on one 48 minute match.
My favorite is still the summery that said that Tien had some tricky techniques in his battle against Gohan and Piccolo in Episode 90 and he ended up being wiped to the point that it was basically a 2v1.

Completely forgot about that. The only one technique he tried to use Gohan stopped with a firery passion.
 
So I'm guessing each character that gets an episode dedicated to them is about to be eliminated. If that's the case, rip 17.

I wouldn't say so, Kale had pretty much 2 episodes towards her and she's still in.

Goku's had a whole episode to himself, and somehow he's still in this tournament :(

Get used to that. Super makes it even more of a thing than Z.

If you're not on guard you can die from a gunshot.

Didn't that happen in GT with one of the dragons being killed by another?

Cell doesnt have a soul, has he? The only time we saw him in hell was in the Janemba movie I think...

I think it happened in non-canon DBZ episodes and also DBGT.

Animedia polled people in Tokyo.

I demand a larger sample size.

I'm fine with Frieza being first.
