new GoD/fighter information!
! > Universe 2 God of Destruction Helles
VA: Masumi Asano
The God of Destruction for Universe 2. She's extraordinarily beauty-conscious, and doesn't do well with anything ugly.Herms commentary: Heles is descibed as a God of Destruction on the main character page but as a "warrior" on her profile page, but this is probably a mistake.
Not sure about ヘレス/Heresu. ヘレネス=Hellenes, as in the Greeks, but I don't see an immediate alcohol reference.
(later) Ah, well alright then, "Helles" it is. Thanks for pointing this out everyone! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helles
Helles the type of beer is ヘレス/Heresu in Japanese, while Sherry is typically シェリー/Sherii.
It's true Jerez in Japanese is also ヘレス/Heresu, but this is (usually) used to refer to the city Jerez de la Frontera rather than the alcohol
So that's why I think Helles is most likely the pun, though it's not like Jerez is impossible by any means.
Universe 11 Warrior Toppo
VA: Jiro Saito
Leader of the hero team "Pride Troopers", guardians of peace in Universe 11. A hot-blooded and gigantic warrior of justice. He's so strong that he's even been scouted as a candidate for the next God of Destruction.Herms commentary: Toppo (トッポ) may derive from トッポッキ/toppokki, Japanese for the Korean dish tteokbokki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tteokbokki …..........in which case I guess "Tteokbo" might be the proper way to spell his name. Let me pause and make up some excuse not to do that.
Source:
Herms preface for the new Lavenda bio (we already had Bergamo): The U9 fighters' bios are so messed up it's kind of amazing.
See if you can spot what's wrong and/or confusing about these official bios:
Universe 9 Warrior: Bergamo
Voice Actor: Eiji Takemoto
Also known as "Poison Bergamo"; the middle brother of Trio the Dangers. A warrior who freely manipulates poison. He always uses poison, and never wins fair-and-square.
Universe 9 Warrior: Lavenda
VA: Takeshi Kusao [who plays Trunks]
Also known as "Crusher Bergamo"; eldest brother of Trio the Dangers. A warrior capable of taking his opponent's techniques and turning it into his own power.
[This seems to be a missing period between 長兄 and 相手]

^MasakoX explains the meanings of the names:
-
Lol nice, I just finished watching that one. XD
-
I'm a bit surprised that the robot and the elephant are counterparts, and not the elephant and the mouse. (Isn't it a cliche that elephants are scared of mice? I remember that was in Donkey Kong Country 3, at least)
-
So that buff alien dude that fights Goku in the opening is a super hero.
Considering universe 7 team is mostly formed by former villains and it's Goku fault this tournament even exist I wonder if Toriyama/ Toei are pushing that our heroes are the "baddies" for this arc. -
Still no new info about 17 =(
-
Liquor is my favorite lol.
-
The facth that only Champa and Beerus "looks" the same kinda rubs me the wrong way.
-

Actually, I'm very glad that that they're the only ones that look similar. Not that the designs for any of the non-cat Gods really wow me except for Arak (he looks like he came straight out of an Oddworld game) and maybe Liquor, but I'm tired of Super's generic rehash designs and transformations.

Still, if you're gonna make all the different, it would be better if Champa was some sort of fat dog or something.
Are all the counterparts brothers/siblings like them?
-
The universes who's numbers add up to 13 are twins (so 6 and 7, 12 and 1, 4 and 9, etc.) So 6 and 7 have Saiyans and Freezers, but no other universe does.
Beerus and Champa are expressly the only Gods of Destruction who are twins of their counterpart. Considering the position is apparently something you can earn, it makes you wonder if there were more Kitty Cat Gods once upon a time.
-
So hopefully the "twin" Gods have the most banter between each other. 2 and 11 is Heres and Vermouth, and I can already picture him fucking around just to annoy her haughty "beauty over all" kind of attitude.
Hopefully we get names for the angels soon.
-

I don't mind them being twins at all as long as they're the only ones. It helps make them unique, and it works even better that Beerus and Champa are the first Gods of Destruction we see before all of the varied ones.

You're right! Are you also a big Oddworld fan by any chance? Abe's Oydssey is my favorite game everrrrr
-

I adore Abe's Exoddus and can't wait for the Soulstorm remake lol. I still wish Abe got into PlayStation All-Stars though. He was supposed to be DLC before Sony scrapped everything…
-
Was that game even good? And glad to meet another person with good gaming taste.
And Frieza! (just to be on topic)
-
Yes. Don't listen to the people who bash it just because it's a party platformer like Super Smash Bros (and it's VERY different in its own right. I even argue that the fighting mechanics are better than Smash in certain regards). As if making a game in a similar genre makes it a ripoff, or that having more cool crossover fighting games is somehow a bad thing lol.
Anyways, to get back on-topic… I wish Gohan's gi had different colors to help distinguish him more from Goku and Krillin, even though I get that's the same attire from the Buu saga.
-
@Count:

Same, I miss the Piccolo gi. I also prefer when Goku's has no symbol, but that's just me.
-
IMO he should've worn the Saiyaman outfit sans cape and helmet again like he did in the Budokai.
-
People ridiculed him about that outfit endlessly, so….
Which I don't understand since upon ditching the cape and helmet it looked fine.
-
he needs the rag and the shades
keep his identity masterfully hidden
-
Call me weird, but when it comes to the ham of Saiyaman, Hebert edges out over Nozawa.
-
Buu vs Lavenda was better than the first half of U6 tournament.
-
The facth that only Champa and Beerus "looks" the same kinda rubs me the wrong way.
Maybe the rest of their litter were the Gods of Destruction whose universes were nuked by Zeno and that's why Beerus is so pissed off at Goku about messing around with him.
-
I really liked that battle, and it goes to show that you don't need Goku or Vegeta to be U7's ace - Buu is pretty tough to beat.
Get rekt, Kai. You keep talking shit.
-
NEW OTP.
Weird seeing Beerus that happy though.
-
I had been waiting for Buu to get some spotlight for the longest time, so this was great. Glad he won.
-
i can't wait to see how badly Gohan gets his shit pushed in by this wolf man in suspenders
-
I have a feeling that Gohan's Fight will be
Gohan loses or Both Fighters knock each other out
…..
If I remember correctly The eldest Wolf also uses poison, so
Goku will probably win barely but be badly poisoned
-
I wouldn't be surprised if Gohan loses just so they can build-up to when he becomes stronger than ever in defeating someone. That's probably why they held out so long on even giving him a notable fighting role in an arc until now.
-
Throwing the fight to make it more interesting is also a possibility; Zeno might get bored with a clean sweep but losing the second match would make the third actually mean something.
Then again, Universe 9 might get nuked anyway after these exhibitions just to show that he's serious about all this.
-
I'm happy that they remembered that Buu is freaking powerful.
I'm surprise that Gohan seems to seek his father's approval.
Universe 9 seems to be crazy. I mean the god of the destruction seems like a nice guy while the kaioshin seems evil/crazy.
-
@Devil:

I''m hoping he faces a real piece of shit in the tournament so we can see him turn them into candy and eat them.
-
Yeah, Goku is definitely getting a little too excited about getting a fight. Again, hope and wonder if something comes from that.
Buu vs. Basil was a lot of fun.
Also, Gohan not having his forehead lock is wierd.
-
While I like Hit… But this episode and first fight was far better than everything at U6 tournament.
Buu was fantastic as well loved his final attack
-
While I'm kind of dissapointed that they didn't go with the weird ways that Buu reconstitued himself during his run as a villian (the cloud and the miniBuus) this was very good.
The thing that bothers me is what are all these people figthing for? We know Goku's (extensively - because fighting) Gohan (to save the universe) and Buu (because satan asked me to). But the other guys are fighting to overpower and kill people?
The gods probably didn't tell anybody about the erasure, goku found out by being there after all.
Making ALL reasons to survive makes this a very monotone tournament if it goes on

I'm sure we'll see some varying reasons, but I'm sure a common one will be the simple threat of death from the God of Destruction of their universe.
