Well maybe I've missed people mentioning it but DBS manga chapter 9 is out in english and it was as surprising as it was not. Regarding DBS ep 31: I hope we eventually get to see this 'dragon lord' also what Goku did to Nipples when they first meet was hilarious imo. Judging by their sparring, I don't think Vegeta's that retracted regarding his arc in the buu saga. He's clearly as he was after the final Buu fight and in the manga he even calls goku 'the great ****rot'. That he's still a rival fighter is logical, Vegeta never quits. Still wish his jumpsuit was darker (prefer dark blue) in the anime like in the manga.
And now it seems there are only 7 super DB's after all, rather than 9. What did I miss?
Manga chapter 9 massive DBS spoilers (two battles into the tournament):
lol that Goku just throws that bear dude out the ring. Man, that joke's kinda worth Buu getting knocked out before the match. That's classic DB Goku tournament shenanigans. Clearly that was an eye-for-an-eye writing beat we could've seen coming after Buu. Well I guess we now know Frost's next forms: exactly like friezas. This makes RoF even dumber, because I would've liked this had we not just gotten RoF (which Im gonna ignore the **** out of). Also, Pretty cool to see Goku go ssj, although in the manga Im not sure if it's ssj or ssb. Either way, it's still a tournament version rerun of Namek it seems... le sigh... Do kinda look forward to seeing it in DBS. At least Frost isn't an annoying jerk. And it was kinda funny Goku getting to fight Giger Frieza. I hope something new is gonna happen.
As such I'm pretty convinced Vegeta will be fighting the mirror saiyan and Piccolo will be fighting Hit, though what the **** is up with Piccolo being chosen when he's supposed to be waaaaaaay weaker than our ssb duo I still don't get. Whatevs. We'll see I guess. Overall I do like they seem to confine the focus of the old gang to my favorite three: Goku, Vegeta, and Piccolo. The three OGs of the franchise imo (Goku and Piccolo for DB and Vegeta for Z).
Reaaaally wonder what the ****'s gonna be up with them dragonballs.
