Dragon Ball Super manga Ch.55-58

What a bunch of grap.

Okay, so last time, Whis went to talk to the Grand Minister about Merus.  Turns out Merus is an angel, just like they are, and that’s why he’s been so secretive about his abilities.  The problem is that angels are forbidden from taking sides in mortal affairs. They have to be impartial in all things.  Beyond this, however, there’s no restrictions on what they can and can’t do.  So the Grand Minister allowed Merus to join the Galactic Patrol, since it was a way for him to learn about mortals, but he’s clearly developed a bias from his time with the organization.  He hasn’t violated the rule yet, but he’s come extremely close. Whis asks permission to deal with Merus himself, and the Grand Minister allows him to proceed.

So Whis shows up at the end of Merus and Goku’s training, when they’re preparing to fight each other at full power.  That’s a bridge too far.  Whis has trained Goku himself, obviously, but an actual battle goes against what the angels are supposed to be about.  Also, Whis knows that Merus was planning to join the battle against Moro on Earth.  With the cat out of the bag, Merus agrees to go with Whis, leaving Goku on his own.

Which would be okay, except Goku has to take Merus’ ship back to Earth, and he doesn’t know how to navigate.

Meanwhile, Vegeta has completed the first stage of his training on Yardrat, and Pybara is ready to show Vegeta how to apply what he’s learned. 

But before they can start, Yardrat is attacked by Moro’s scouts, led by a Zarbon knockoff.   Vegeta defeats him with ease, and he’s astonished by how much his power has increased, simply from learning how to balance his body and ki in the Yardratti way.

By now, Moro’s henchmen have reached Earth, but Vegeta still refuses to go back there, since he hasn’t learned a technique that will even the odds against Moro.  Pybara agrees to skip Instant Transmission and show him something more useful for this situation, but he still doesn’t have much time to work with.

Meanwhile, the Z-Fighters have prepared for Moro’s invasion... just like they did in Resurrection F.  This arc is just one callback after another.  I can see why fans were so hard on Toyotaro while this thing was being published.  Merus seems to be the only original idea in this whole story, and we’ve just learned that he’s been forbidden from interfering, so what good is he?

Oh, and Majin Buu’s still fucking asleep.  Keep in mind he fell asleep right before the Tournament of Power started, and didn’t wake up until well into this arc, and then he fell asleep again right after he fought Moro.  And now it looks like he’s on track to sleep through the rest of this arc. 

So Seven Three goes after Gohan and Piccolo and he uses his copy ability on both of them, so he can match their powers completely.  This would seem to negate all the training they did leading up to this battle, except Seven-Three can only use one guy’s power set at a time.  So he can be as powerful as Piccolo or Gohan, but he has to fight Piccolo and Gohan at the same time, and they know a bunch of combo attacks that he can’t handle. 

So Seven Three uses his trump card, which is to use the powers he copied from Moro, except this time 17 and 18 join the battle, and Seven Three can’t drain their ki because they don’t have any.  Well, why doesn’t Seven Three just use Moro’s other abilities?  Like how he made his allies stronger, or the way he could beat the shit out of Goku and Vegeta?   Moro couldn’t drain Buu’s energy either, but he beat him just fine, so why can’t Seven Three defeat 17 and 18?

Here’s a bonus comic about Frieza’s whole deal during this Moro business.  He decides he’s just gonna stay out of this one.  I’m so glad we wasted two pages to explain that Frieza’s not going to do anything.  Maybe we could have a two page comic about how Yajirobe’s decided to sit this one out.  Or a comic about Bulma’s mom staying home to water the plants.

Seriously, fuck this Moro Saga.  We started with this whole bit about how Buu was the key to victory, and that went nowhere, then Merus’ dad made him quit the story early, and now Frieza’s just popping in to tell us he doesn’t give a shit.  Oh, and Moro keeps holding back because he doesn’t see any of the good guys as a threat, so most of the fighting in this arc has been pointless.

So Moro’s group splits up to loot the Earth of its treasures before Moro consumes its life energy.  This means the Z-Fighters have to split up and tackle the henchmen.  Yamcha fights some guys, Master Roshi takes on some girl henchmen, and Tien and Chiaotzu get stuck with an Auta Magetta knockoff.  His species are vulnerable to insults, but Tien doesn’t know how to dis people, so Chiaotzu does it for him.  Excuse me, but Tien was insulting people all the time during the 22nd Budokai.  He was a colossal dick back then.  Sure, he became all polite and proper, but it’s not like he forgot how to be a raging asshole.

Finally, Moro steps in to handle things himself, and Goku shows up soon after, when he gets close enough to Earth to sense Krillin charging his ki.  He prepares to fight Moro, but Moro empowers one of his goons more and more, in order to force Goku to show more of his true power. 

So Goku finally obliges by using Ultra Instinct.  Specifically, he uses the incomplete version he had when he first discovered the ability.  Goku calls this “Ultra Instinct Sign”, like it’s some distinct thing separate from the complete version of UI.  That’s like saying half a cup of coffee is the “initial stage” of a full cup of coffee. 

The manga has been doing this crap all along, and I think I’m finally getting tired of it.  Toyotaro really, really likes showing off all of Goku’s forms, and now there’s so many of them that it’s becoming very cumbersome to go through them all.  Super Saiyan 3 and Super Saiyan God pretty much became obsolete once Super Saiyan Blue was available, but Toyotaro seems to feel obligated to cycle through all of them whether it’s justified or not.  Likewise, why would Goku ever bother using “Ultra Instinct Sign” when he knows how to use full-on Ultra Instinct?  This wasn’t an intermediate power-up, it was Goku discovering a power and not knowing how to use it.

Anyway, we’re about halfway through this arc, and I guess we’re officially in the final battle, so maybe things will get better from here, but I’m not optimistic.  Everything that led up to this moment has been a giant waste of time.

Dragon Ball WIP Wednesday <3

“What all Saiyans I ever knew had in common was that they were headstrong, quite stubborn, prideful, often a little arrogant, tended to be over enthusiastic by nature and of course, had an instinctual drive for combat. But I’ve never met a Saiyan who was, by birth, cruel, sadistic or out to kill. They all were rather social and loyal to their comrades, and they cared deeply about each other.” “Sentimentalities,” Vegeta grumbles. “And here we are at the core of the problem. You, Vegeta, learned to be cruel, sadistic, to kill without hesitation, and to never care about those around you. But you were not born that way.” Vegeta feels tense. His fingers dig into the fabric of his sleeves. “I am who I am.” “But you are not who you have been, Vegeta. You have changed, haven’t you? Don’t answer that.” Pybara puts his hands behind his back. “It’s not me who needs to hear it. It’s not me who has to realize it. The truth of who you are is for you to figure out, and you’ll have to if you want to get anywhere here. Do you understand?”

Homeward Bound, chapter 13 is coming along great. Can't say the same for our Geets.

[khaoala]

listen i have to tell you but your username is one of the most perfect funniest urls around i love it

like. khao-pybara?? khaopybara???? every time im struggling to pick a user for an account this is what im trying to achieve!!!! but alas...

this is a very lovely ask to receive so thank you for that. I'm glad that people still find it cute.

I, however, can't possibly take the credit for this because it was definitely not my idea at all (I'm uncreative af, I can never come up with good usernames or tag names, you'll notice even my alias changes all the time cause I get sick of them). I think I've said this before, but I saw someone refer to Khaotung as Khaopybara bc he was obsessed with the capybara song last year and I just took that like a thief and never looked back. The alternative was Khaoala for obvious reasons, but capybaras are native to my home state and idk, it makes it feel cute.

what's a fun thing that happened this week and made you smile?

Thank you for the ask my sweet friend!

I have been WRITING just a silly, self-indulgent fic that was going to be small but is turning out to be quite the opposite and I am just having the BEST TIME. The words are falling out of me and that is a rare and joyful thing. I am savoring it for as long as it lasts, even when the words fall out of me when I wake up in the middle of the night and my Fitbit tells me the next morning how shitty I am for not sleeping. Is it good? I fear I have lost all objectivity. Has the general plot been done a lot in the fandom already? Oh yes, lots. Will my nonsense end up as any kind of decent contribution? Eh, unclear. Does it even matter? Probably not, because it is bringing me crazy joy (and clearly not triggering my neuroses at all, ahem) so I don't even care. So that is my fun for the week.

Honorable mentions:

-Watching the gigantic snowflakes fall all afternoon. I have been hypnotized. And I am actually looking forward to bundling up and being dragged around in it by my dogs this evening.

-Bear-pybaras exist and that is wild.

What if Supreme Kais/Kaioshins and Hakaishins had their statues all around the universes? Started with Shin because I already had the pose in mind (reference: La Primavera by Ferdinando Andreini).

A little bit of description of this statue under the cut! (Might also use this for my own AU)

The current God of Creation, also known as Supreme Kai Lord Shin, former student of the Great God of Kings of Worlds, the Grand Supreme Kai. The sculptor remained unknown since many millennia, and even so, it is kept in front of Pybara's palace on Planet Yardrat. It is said the statue represents Lord Shin's youth as he became Supreme Kai at a young age unexpectedly, and the lilies of the valley at his feet represent his eternal purity and virginity. It is supposed to be seen from behind as the representation suggests, but it is said if someone goes around it to see both its eyes, the statue will grant protection.

Dragon Ball Super Manga Ch. 59-63

Kind of wish this were ending for real, you know what I mean?

So after a lot of false starts and pointless runarounds, it finally comes down to Goku vs. Moro on Earth.  Goku’s been training with Merus to master his Ultra Instinct power, but the best he can manage is the “Ultra Instinct Sign” thing that he used to defeat Kefla in the anime.  Merus proposed a strategy where Goku relied on this incomplete UI, so Goku’s trying to fight carefully so as not to wear out his stamina, so he can use this ability as long as possible. 

And that seems to be all he needs at first.  Moro can’t touch Goku, and he can’t even drain his energy, because Goku is moving so fast that he’s dodging the energy drain effect.  But there’s just one problem: Moro hasn’t been using his full power.  He’s consumed a lot of planets since Goku saw him last, and he had no reason to show off his increased strength until now.

So Goku abandons Merus’ strategy and gambles everything on a more direct approach.  Instead of conserving his power, Goku uses his full strength, thinking he can still out-power Moro.  He just needs to finish him off quickly before his Ultra Instinct runs out.

While all of this has been going on, Vegeta is still on Yardrat, because he only just finished mastering the technique he came here to learn.  He doesn’t like cutting it this close, but since he can still sense Moro on Earth, he figures it’s not too late.  Once he’s finally ready, he asks Elder Pybara to teleport him to Earth, but Pybara says he can’t as Yardratti are forbidden from interplanetary teleportation. The fuck?  Also, Pybara says that they can only use it to go to someone they’ve met before.  The fuck?

So now Vegeta has to learn Instant Transmission on top of whatever he learned to use against Moro.  And this is bullshit, because even though I can buy Vegeta mastering all these Yardrat tricks in record time, it doesn’t add anything to the story.  Why not just have Pybara teleport him to Earth? 

Eventually, Pybara decided to break the rule and just teleport Vegeta after all, but then he thinks he’s finally figured it out.  Also, Goku got beaten up to the point where his UI form has worn off, so Vegeta can sense his energy again to lock on to his position. 

Wait, so how is Goku not dead during all of this?  Well, 17 and 18 pitch in, and since Moro can’t absorb their energy, they can hold him off for a little while.  I mean, it kind of makes sense in a post-Tournament-of-Power scenario that Piccolo, Gohan, Krillin, Tien, Roshi, and 17 and 18 could hang with an opponent like Moro.  They don’t have to beat him, but they ought to be able to keep him good and frustrated, just like Jiren.  But this arc doesn’t really play into that idea, at least not to my satisfaction.

All right, so Vegeta finally arrives, and he basically declares that he never intends to use Instant Transmission again.  What the fuck? The last few adventures he’s been on have involved teleporting across outer space or whatever, and he hates holding Goku’s hand in order to do it.  You’d think he’d be thrilled to be able to teleport under his own power.  Even if he hates teleportation on principle, he’s an idiot if he thinks he’ll never need to try this again, so why wouldn’t he perfect his technique so he can do it properly?

It’s like this whole thing was contrived to get Vegeta back to Earth as quickly as possible, and also show that he can do Instant Transmission, but at the same time, Toyotaro wanted to walk that back, because not doing Instrant Transmission is kind of a Vegeta trademark.  Personally, I don’t give a shit if Vegeta can do Instant Transmission or not, but if you’re going to write a manga story where he learns how, then you need to commit to that decision.   Toyotaro is trying to have it both ways, and I really don’t understand that, since the whole point of this Yardrat subplot was so Vegeta could learn a different cool technique anyway.  He doesn’t need Instant Transmission, so it would have been simpler to just have Pybara teleport him to Earth.  Fuck this story.

Now, I’ve been pretty hard on the Moro arc, but I will offer some positives about this thing.  The art has been on-point all along.  Moro’s got a cool design, and the action scenes are impactful.  Toyotaro has the skills that pay the bills, whether the haters want to admit it or not.  Also, I’ve noticed Vegeta is a lot sassier in this arc than in previous ones.  I approve of this. 

As to the fight itself, Vegeta starts off in Super Saiyan Blue, which ought to be no match for Moro at this level, and Moro seems to have the upper hand at first.  But every time Moro touches Vegeta, he loses some of the power he’s stolen from all those dead aliens.  That’s because Vegeta has learned the Spirit Fission technique, which is a Yardratti move that dissolves absorbed or fused ki.  For example, Vegeta claims that he can undo the fusion of Piccolo with Nail and Kami, which is an intriguing thought.  I guess if Super Buu ate Gotenks right now, Vegeta could one-shot him and separate him back into Kid Buu, the Kais, and Goten and Trunks. 

Meanwhile, all the dead Namekians come back to life?  What?  Bulma asks how that’s possible, since Moro absorbed their life force months ago.  Esca thinks it’s because the Dragon Balls on New Namek somehow preserved their bodies? Okay, come on.  Seriously?  Why is this page even in the story?  Why do the Namekians need to be revived in this moment anyway?  They were just going to use the Dragon Balls to revive everyone anyway. 

I mean, that’s a ridiculous explanation, because the Namekian Dragon Balls were deactivated when Moori was killed, and even if they were somehow still functional, they’ve never been established to have that sort of ability.  But more importantly, why is Toyotaro tossing out a bullshit explanation for this in the first place?  The revived Namekians don’t actually do anything at this juncture, so why bother with this at all?

So Vegeta clobbers Moro until he weakens to the level he was at when he first broke out of prison, I guess.  Then Vegeta asks Jaco if he should kill him.  What?  What? 

So Moro manages to slip away and escape to his spaceship, where he finds Seven Three and swallows him whole, absorbing his body and becoming...

... this guy!  Okay, so this is a major downgrade in design, but at least now I understand the context of it.  The idea is to combine Moro’s body with Seven Three’s, but the result ends up being shittier than the individual designs.  Plotwise, it makes sense, because it seemed weird that Moro would allow Seven Three to keep a copy of Moro’s powers.  But it turns out Moro wanted it this way because if he lost his powers for some reason, he could just eat Seven Three and get them all back.  Also, Moro now has the ability to copy other people’s powers, so that’s a thing. 

Vegeta isn’t too worried, since he can just Spirit Fission Moro all over again, except he’s lost the element of surprise.  Moro can just avoid his blows and not lose any of his strength.

Goku, Piccolo, and Gohan managed to do a cool trick to hold Moro in place long enough for a Kamehameha, but it doesn’t work and Moro punches a hole in Goku.  I really hate when they do this spot with characters who can’t regenerate or survive these kinds of wounds.  If you did this to Cell, then fine, because Cell could grow back, and if Goku was about to die after this scene, then you could do it to him.  But instead he’s just going to get healed up again and be just fine.  It’s dumb.

So then Merus jumps back in, even though we’ve established that he’s forbidden from interfering in mortal affairs.  Whis warned him against fighting Moro as he planned, and yet, Whis has curiously taken his eyes off the guy while all of this is going on. 

Moro doesn’t know Merus is an angel, and Goku seems to be the only one who understands what’s going on.  He pleads with Merus to stand down, since he’ll cease to exist if he keeps fighting with his angelic powers.  And that’s Merus’ whole plan.  Goku needs to use the complete Ultra Instinct to win this thing, and Merus thinks he can get Goku to reach that level by sacrificing himself in the battle with Moro.  So either Goku can rise to the occasion, or he’ll be forced to watch Merus disappear.

And I mean literally, because Merus starts to fade out as he fights more seriously.  I thought the Grand Minister was going to execute him or something, but apparently this whole thing is automatic.

So then Merus uses the last of his, uh... existence... to destroy the crystals in Moro’s body that came from Seven Three’s copy ability.  They were in Seven Three’s head before, but now there’s one on Moro’s forehead, and one in each palm.  Anyway, Moro tried to copy Merus’ powers, but Merus cut off that hand before it could take effect.  He smashes the other two crystals  and then disappears once and for all.

And we’ll call it there.  Next time we’ll go through the “epic” finale of the Moro Saga. 

[redorbcentral]

An annoyed "Tch!" is all Trunks manages as he feels his energy drain from him. He felt himself drop out of SSJ2. His sword felt heavy on his back. He hadn't brought his Katchin sword, worried that the weight would crush him if he ran out of too much energy. Still, he doubted the sword he carried now would do him any good.

Mentally cursing himself, he fled, never turning his back to Moro until he was sure the damned goat man would let him go without shooting him in the back. He kept up a ki shield ready at his back anyway, just in case, like his Uncle Tarble had taught him.

'Like gardening', Trunks thought numbly as he fled. 'Just hack the vegetables down, but leave the roots, so that they grow back without you having to plant more.'

The irony of that statement, given his ancestor's fondness for naming their people after vegetables, wasn't lost on him. It just pissed him off more.

'Another bastard that just thinks of the people of the universe as food...!'

It was like that bullshit with Cell and Majin Buu all over again.

And, just like back then, he'd need more training.

He had wanted to get a look at the bastard first, even if he couldn't fight Moro yet. Just to know, for sure, that he could just go ahead and kill him as soon as Trunks was able to. It was a stupid inhibition, Trunks knew, but it had been nagging at him.

“         you’re    repetitive.         ”          moro   comments   on   the   other   mortals   antics,          with   distaste   for   his   reasons   being   questioned   once   more.he   saps   at   trunks   energy,         leaving   enough   for   him   to   remain   alive   and   to   fight   if   he   were   confidant   enough.

(Note: The following post is a random outline of ideas I made to slightly readjust certain aspects of both the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Arc of the Dragon Ball Super Manga.)

So for the past 2-3 years, I’ve sometimes been reading up on the DBS manga since I found out about the Moro arc due to various YouTubers such as Totally Not Mark and UnrealEntGaming. But since I started later in the arc, I watched their videos to catch up, and then read the chapters that came out on Viz.

In my opinion, the arc was good out of anything in Super, but still it had its bits of sloppy writing and questioning character moments.

*cough* senzu bean *cough*

So, naturally, my brain came up with fixes for them that don’t alter the entire arc, but rather in ways that improved the story while sticking roughly to what we have in canon. Also, this isn’t supposed a criticism of Moro, it’s a fun and mostly creative writing exercise by rewriting the manga.

With that said: Here we go.

The Beginning:

Still takes place after DBS: Broly and starts with the 2 saiyans training.

Goku is unable to use UI since the Tournament of Power.

Mr. Satan calls about Majin Buu’s kidnapping, thus Goku and Vegeta teleport to stop them.

Merus defeats them and takes them to the Galactic Patrol.

Explanation of Moro and Grand Supreme Kai to Goku and Vegeta.

Everything from the Saiyans joining the patrol to getting their asses whooped on New Namek plays out the same.

Moro’s third wish on the Dragon Balls is the same, but it’s not played out as a dramatic plot twist this time.

Goku returns with the patrol

Vegeta ponders over the skill and potential techniques wield in battle, and decides to go to Yardrat in order to fight fire with fire with Moro as his top priority

The Preparations:

The now-escaped prisoners are collecting planets for Moro to devour.

Goku trains with Merus as original in canon.

Earth is now a target for Moro.

Vegeta arrives on Yardrat; The line about Goku defeating the Ginyus on the planet is cut.

Vegeta now learns under Elder Pybara to learn Spirit Control, the way of manipulating spiritual energy to harvest a plethora of techniques.

Piccolo Vs. The Macareni Gang remains.

While Merus trains Goku, he talks about Ultra Instinct.

In this version, Ultra Instinct is described as one needing emotional stability. Whether you’re enraged, joyful, melancholic, or prideful, UI required the balance between internal emotions and external movements (Mind and Body) to fight to your fullest; You can’t let any one of the two sides grow dominant and hinder that balance. (This is something to come up later in the Granola Arc).

Goku tells Merus about the HTC on Earth, but the officer assures him that training where they are will be just as efficient as on Earth.

Earth Z-Fighters Vs. Android 73, Yunba, and Jeramecha plays out the same. 2 months until Moro arrives.

Merus’ true identity is revealed and Vegeta continues training. Moro senses Vegeta’s new strength and grows excited to fight him again.

Whis interferes to prevent his brother from going all out.

The Battle On Earth:

Plays out the same until Goku arrives.

When Goku activates UI Sign and fights Moro, this state is something that’s not used at free will yet. Goku is sustaining the Mind-Body balance enough to which it allows him to stand a chance.

The reason for Pybara being unable to teleport to Earth is only because Goku has divine Ki active.

Moro powers up and defeats Goku who breaks the UI balance due to focusing more on physical strength.

Vegeta locks onto Goku and teleports to Earth.

The line from Piccolo is altered to “Vegeta should never be one to underestimate someone like Moro.

Goku doesn’t know about Forced Spirit Fission in this version, and the explanation is revealed by Vegeta himself.

Moro, refusing to lose, kills Jeramecha and consumes 73.

Here’s a major change: Moro-73 is redesigned in order to keep his goat-like appearance, but still lets the reader knows that he’s absorbed the android. (Imagine a more muscular Moro with devilish horns, lines in the side of his face, and the Crystals on his hands and head.)

When Vegeta fights against Moro-73, he puts up more of a fight than in canon and gets a few hits, but the Saiyan prince is down for the count when the goat wizard copies him.

Moro copies Piccolo again to explain his regeneration.

Merus frees Dende, and fights Moro. Whis and Beerus get the healed Z-Fighters out of the conflict.

Goku flies towards Merus and attempts to fight Moro-73.

Merus states that Goku‘s training is complete and needs something to maintain control of himself; A final push you should say.

Merus destroys Moro’s crystals and gets erased.

Goku is saddened, enraged, and feels a bit of guilt knowing that he wasn’t able to finish the fight allowing Merus to live. He asks Jaco why Merus joined the Galactic Patrol, to which the officer replies.

The Saiyan starts to calm down, remembering the Angel’s teachings and goes on to merge his raw emotions and relaxed physicality and allows him to regain and a stronger/refined variation of Ultra Instinct Sign.

The Finale:

Goku wipes the floor with Moro

Completely remove the “Senzu Bean” and go straight to Moro breaking his arm punching Goku after the fight.

Moro finds out about Merus and his ability to use UI.

When the wizard copies Merus, he transforms as his hair begins to glow and levitate as his eyes are silver. (Implies that Moro is in UI Sign.)

Moro’s body eventually goes unstable and he merges with Earth.

Vegeta arrives in the nick of time to use Forced Spirit Fission to open up the head crystal.

Piccolo asks Vegeta if the prince can gather energy all in one place like the Spirit Bomb, and he replies with yes.

Vegeta goes up into the sky and prepares a technique nearly identical to the Spirit Bomb, Uub’s divine energy completing the bomb.

Gohan and Piccolo gets Goku out of Moro’s grip, and while Vegeta launches the Spirit Bomb at Moro’s crystal, finishing off the prisoner once and for all.

Berus and Supreme Kai plays as horses with the two Zenos as their punishment.

An award ceremony happens, but Merus is not present in this version, but the Grand Priest still has plans to restore Merus as a mortal and this is told to only Beerus and Whis.

And so the universe has once again been saved, and peace continues to thrive…right??

End of The Moro Arc.

That concludes my rough retelling of the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Arc, with some changes I made that I thought might suit the story a bit better than we got from canon.

What are your thoughts? Do you guys have anything you’d like to add? Do you think I should continue this with the Granola Arc? Feel free to like, reblog, and/or comment.

Thanks for reading and have a wonderful day!

WIP Wednesday <3

Recently engagement on Tumblr has really gone down (idk am I shadowbanned? lol) but I wanted to share this snippet from chapter 12 regardless.

Vegeta rights himself on the pole after nearly falling off. He’s been squatting up here for hours already and his legs are starting to tremble. “Can’t we be done with this sooner?” he asks. “Not as long as you can’t even sit still for half a day.” Pybara is standing on the pole next to him, on only one leg, relaxed as if slouching on a couch. “You’re squirming all the time.” “I’m not.” “Outwardly you may be trying to hide it but you’re impatient and angry, which is why you keep almost falling off.” “Oh, I’m impatient?” Vegeta hisses. “Very.” Pybara does a flip and continues to balance on the pole using only one finger. “I’m going through this with you as fast as I can. But if I’m honest I’ve never seen someone whose mind and spirit are so out of sync.” “And what is that supposed to mean?” Vegeta understands that spirit is the Yardratians’ word for ki. Aside from that half of what Pybara says all day is utter nonsense to him. “It means that you’re so at odds with yourself that it weakens you.” “What?” “If a person is unbalanced enough it can destabilize their powers. It often happens in people that have gone through big changes in their life and personality or suffered significant trauma.” Vegeta glares at Pybara and looks down at his folded hands. “Whatever.” He closes his eyes again and tries to sit still. Pybara just sighs.

Training is going swimmingly for Geets.

Dragon Ball Super chapter 55 reaction and spoilers

I like that the key to Vegeta gaining strength on Yadrat is to find healthy coping mechanisms like meditation. Actually, tbh, I like that in general Vegeta’s character arc in Super is accepting that he’s got people he wants to protect and learning how to grow stronger without growing into a bigger asshole.

This bad guy appears to be whatever alien species Zarbon was

I keep imagining Pybara has the voice you’d expect him to have if he was an Adventure Time character because he kind of looks like one.

It’ll be interesting to see what kind of technique Vegeta learns. It does make sense he won’t learn Instant Transmission since that’s Goku’s move.

Finding out that angels get kapoofed completely if they wage battle sounds like foreshadowing and I’m worried who it’s possibly going to be.

I suppose Goku having to figure this ship out is what’s going to give him reason to end up late to the party later.
