2/10 stars
Dragon Ball Super is such a far cry from the original DB/DBZ that I really don't know why I even bother. Firstly, DBS treats Goku like shit most of the time and insists on lionizing Vegeta. I mean, seriously, what the heck? I know there are factions of fans idolizing Vegeta, but let's be honest: his appeal throughout the DB and DBZ was mostly based on his development arc, from a villain to a somewhat selfish and reluctant, but hero. Here, with Goku so diminished and whole Son Goku family relegated more or less to the role of furniture (Chi-Chi gets shafted so badly it's not even worth a comment) Vegeta is suddenly THE big self-made hero of the series. It goes against the whole legacy, and really pisses me off.
As for this particular volume, once again it's a filler and nothing more. Nothing happens. Everybody fights but it's so boring and without real stakes that the characters might've as well just lied down and napped all this time, and the result would be the same. If you're an insomniac, take this volume with you to bed - it will lull you to sleep within first few pages. It's gratuitous, pandering to the fans with constant regurgitation of old motifs and themes.
I'm really at the end of my patience with this series.
