I'm done catching up with Super, really enjoying the new arc.
Overall I agree BoG arc was terrible and Freeza arc had ups and downs compared to the movie.

This new arc has a fun concept, different from most I don't really care about Gohan (and rather like he putting his normal life above fighting, it is consistent with his character) and I'm glad Piccolo is back after such a long time in the sidelines.
Now about this episode itself, I'm a bit disappointed Buu is out, but given how the tournament is a survival where people keep fighting until they lose, it is more interesting if the hero team has less members. And I have my doubts this arc is going to be just a friendly tournament, maybe Buu and even Gohan will get a chance to do something later. I also liked the whole Universe 6 team, they all have potential for fun fights and cool aditions to DB.
I don't really know what to expect of Monaka, but I don't think his strenght will be a joke like some assumed. While he obviously felt Goku's punch, it's also worth noting he didn't even flinch. Obviously in the end something will happen so the final fight is on Goku's hands, but I'm willing to bet we'll see Monaka put on a show before that.

I also like how Jaco characters are being integrated with the rest of the Dragon Ball universe. It was weird seeing a few episodes back that Vegeta didn't know Tights, as he's been with Bulma for many years, but whatever it didn't bother me too much. I like that manga and it's characters and I'm glad Jaco has been a recurring character since Fukkatsu no F.

I read elsewhere that DBS did not have someone in charge of Series Composition before this new arc, because they already had the movies as a outline. I don't know if that is true, but that would explain a lot about the first two arcs having weird chronology problems and that all over the place pacing. It would also explain why the pacing of the new arc is better.

One thing I'd like to point as I've seen a lot of people talk about it the past threads: the anime is not based on the manga. They probably knew from the start the anime would overtake the manga, so even though they will tell the same story as outlined by Toriyama, the anime does not need to wait the manga to be out in order to proceed with the arc, they're independent on that sense.

Yes we've seen scenes straight out of the manga in the anime, but we don't know if the anime team used them just because they were avaliable, or if both Toyotaro and anime staff know what the other is doing and in the future we'll see stuff we saw first in the anime done in the manga. The relationship between the two medium is still nebulous, but the assumption the anime will either slow down or go a different way because it caught up with the manga is wrong. It's almost certain they will follow the same path regardless of who's covering new material first.

Jesus, that's some preschool humor there, not to mention the plot holes.
That was just painful to watch.


What "plot holes" were introduced in this episode, exactly?


They didn't explain the new Hyperbolic Time Chamber, this is a huge plot hole without explanation. The manga is based on the anime and they're expecting you to read the manga for the information ?What a fucking joke.
Beards, it's said a Saiyan hair never changes AND they never grew beards in the Cell Saga.
Whis mentioned the internet, there is no established internet in Dragon Ball, it's pretty obvious that there is no such thing.
Obviously, none of these exist in the manga, so the incompetent writers should stop adding garbage inconsistent scenes.

I think it's pretty obvious that the Sayan hair never growing/changing does not apply to facial hair. Or do you think Nappa was born with his mustache?

And about the hyperbolic time chamber, what about it was a plot hole? I don't plan on reading the manga until after the anime is done so I don't know what you're talking about. And something being said in the manga and not in the anime isn't automatically a plot hole, it needs to hurt plot coherence in some way first.

1. The new Hyperbolic time chamber isn't a plot hole. I don't think you know what that word means.........
2. Nappa and Vegeta's dad have facial hair.
3. What? Saying that the INTERNET EXISTS is a plot hole to you? Again, I don't think that you know what that means.
4. The manga is based off of the anime.

Best thing was the universal anthem, that one made me chucke.

But wait... so you make me all excited for Boo's fight by bringing him there and now you make him sleep during the test so he can't participate? The thing I was looking most forward to, Boo's fight won't even happen, ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME???

Fuck this shit...

Well this look pretty interesting. remind me of good old classic DB. I am excited for the next ep.

One thing I really didn't understand is why the human Uub weren't chosen. He is pretty strong. Is it because this is between the time they have defeated evil Buu and when he actually meet Uub. Can someone confirm? But it's weird that they mentioned it if he hasn't come. This lazy fat Buu slept under the test. hahahaha. And I am pretty surprised Goku completed the test. I really underestimated his brain.

Well next ep. is gonna be good with Winnie-the-Pooh vs. Goku. LOL

I thought it was an actual plot thing saiyans don't grow hair after a point in their life. Guess this anime throws all established lore into the trash bin.

Popo and Dende.
Dat Goku and Vegeta fight animation looks like shit.
Saiyans keep their youth until they reach 80?
lol at Bulma taking the magazine from Muten Roshi.
Whis.
Jaco.
The Galactic King?
Goku and Vegeta are back.
WTF! They have beards?
Kuririn was taking a dump.
That's Monaka? Its like they're not trying with the character designs anymore.
Nipples?
Of course Goku would attack him.
lol at Bulma telling Goku not to fail the paper test.
Shin and Kibito are separated!
6th Uni Kaioshin.
Freeza?
A Saiyan from 6th Uni.
LMAO at the test. LMAO at Goku.
Boo failed.
Of course Goku is fighting first.

The character designs for the new characters in Super are looking disappointing.

Goodness gracious the art and animation took a horrendous dip. That aside, it's interesting that GT is most definitely non-canon, as rampant usage of the Dragon Balls have zero consequences, huh.

Finally, the fighting is about to begin between Universes 6 and 7, there was a decent amount of buildup but I’m ready to see how these fighters do against each other. Figures that Buu wouldn’t pass the test but I believe Goku, Vegeta and Piccolo can hold things down. And Universe 6 seems to have an interesting selection of characters, including a blue version of Frieza’s race, this has me not only interested in how they can fight, but also just about them in general, I imagine there will probably be some lore sprinkled in kinda like they touched on how different Saiyans are with Cabba.

Now the real question is if the studio can handle all the upcoming fighting lol, if the last two arcs tell us anything. And I will probably write a post for each fight, kinda like I did with each Shadow Dragon in GT’s final arc. Also rip Kibito Kai, he was the homie.
