Neither one of those are what I would call "gay", but they do have scenes that have "gay" overtones! Joseph and Caesar are hilariously flamboyant warriors but they appear to still be into ladies, and there are some really weird characters in the 5th Element, including one drag queen played by Chris Tucker. But I wouldn't say the WHOLE WORK is "gay" in either case as there are some decidedly straight elements (Leilu in that skimpy clothing comes to mind for 5th Element; and Jonathan is pretty straight) which counterbalance them!

Oh right, I do vaguely remember that! I just hope at some point Super pays lip-service to this! I do remember that more as a nod to the plot of GT than anything though. Poor Mai, having to grow up twice! Also, Pilaf is in the same family of being as Garlic Jr., right? Your Dende theory is interesting though.

It would be funny to see her slap him for being such a hopeless pervert!

As for characters who were supposedly grown-up in earlier sagas in the Canon part of the franchise, here's what I'm assuming: Mai in Super is actually the young granddaughter of the Mai in Dragon Ball. She's like the JoJo of this universe or something. DB Mai went on to get married about 5 years after the DB Pilaf saga, but Pilaf remained a close friend of the family, and when Mai's daughter (offscreen) gave birth to a daughter, Super Mai, she named Pilaf and Shao as godparents but then died in a tragic accident. (Of course, Pilaf and Shao don't age.) Dende in Super is not the same Dende from Kai, but his son. Remember how King Piccolo blasted off an egg containing young Piccolo right before he died? Dende somehow did the same, only not in death.

Don't have cable? Well you've got a little less than a day left to catch the stellar, though woefully underrated lineup from 1/21/17, which contains such gems as: 1. Dragonball Super #3 - Where Does the Dream Pick Up? Find the Super Saiyan God! - TV-PGLS 2. Dragonball Z Kai #101 - Videl's Crisis? Gohan's Urgent Call-Out! - TV-PGLV 3. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure #13 - JoJo vs. The Ultimate Lifeform - TV-MAV 4. Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn RE:0096 #3 - They Called It Gundam - TV-14V 5. Hunter x Hunter #35 - The True Pass - TV-14V 6. Naruto Shippuden #142 - Battle of Unraikyo - TV-14DLSV (!!) 7. One Piece #376 - It Repels Everything! Kuma's Paw-Paw Power - TV-PGLV 8. One Punch Man #11 - The Dominator of the Universe - TV-14LV

Well hope y'all enjoyed it and you're caught-up now!!

2 & 3 down; hope you enjoyed 'em!

Episode #1 begins now for the last time this week! Beerus is freaking gold!

Good catch. That was a hold-over from the Trunks thread where that was lifted. But on the other hand, of course I had seen episode 12 of JoJo many times, and I do agree that TV-MAV is fitting for it!

And you need people like me, who are able to find both positives and negatives out of just about every ratings report!

There is another bright spot that has gone unmentioned: the 18-34 ratings. They've actually never been higher for DBZ Kai: Final Chapters or Gundam Unicorn, and this is the highest number recorded for JoJo in 2017 to boot; the first time it's topped 400K this year! I guess that correlates with another amazing night for trending: http://toonamifaithful.com/toonami-trending-rundown-for-february-11-12-2017/ Every Toonami proper show hit #1 now for back-to-back weeks and One Piece had at least one character trend for the 5th weekend in a row (two this week in fact)!!

http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/ 2/11/2017 Dragon Ball Super (8 PM) - #16 Adults 18-34 Rating - 0.43 Estimated 18-34 - 292,000 ( 33.41% ) Adults 18-49 Rating - 0.33 Estimated 18-49 - 423,000 ( 48.40% ) Total Viewers - 874,000 2/11/2017 DBZ Kai: Final Chapters - #2 Adults 18-34 Rating - 0.73 Estimated 18-34 - 496,000 ( 43.89% ) Adults 18-49 Rating - 0.52 Estimated 18-49 - 667,000 ( 59.03% ) Total Viewers - 1,130,000 2/11/2017 JoJo's Bizarre Adventure - #4 Adults 18-34 Rating - 0.6 Estimated 18-34 - 408,000 ( 45.48% ) Adults 18-49 Rating - 0.42 Estimated 18-49 - 538,000 ( 59.98% ) Total Viewers - 897,000 2/11/2017 Gundam Unicorn - #8 Adults 18-34 Rating - 0.52 Estimated 18-34 - 353,000 ( 44.85% ) Adults 18-49 Rating - 0.37 Estimated 18-49 - 474,000 ( 60.23% ) Total Viewers - 787,000 Slight improvement this week, but I doubt things will get much better until Samurai Jack Season 5 arrives. 8 PM DB Super is just killing 11:30's Toonami lead-in potential, and that 8:30 rerun of Samurai Jack, despite being a nice gift, really ain't helping. Hopefully 11 PM SJS5 premieres in 4 weeks will turn the tide!

Maybe not during Toonami, but I'd bet they'll screw with beforehand!

One Punch Man #10 - Unparalleled Peril - TV-14LV

If she ends up not being the main character, FLCL just won't be FLCL!

Ugh, I don't want to fall asleep during this commercial break, but...

Golly this version of the show is gorgeous!!

You know, I just noticed something: I think the original version of this story (in the movie) was terrestrial. Super mixed it up by having it take place on an ocean liner instead!

I thought Slash was Latino!

Like happy whales? Tonight's your night!

She very well could have, but this dub is like 5 years old!

He's blowing Bubbles in the woods! ...and his pet squirrel is named Bubbles!

Does Shippuden ever go full HD? Or does it stay "Middle-D" like this forever?

Well, at least the action picked back up again, after an almost exclusively expository 1 AM hour!
