DRAGON BALL SUPER: Meet Caulifla!!! (plus Kale)

[deh_tommy]

Universe 6, as the ‘twin’ to Universe 7 (where Goku and friends live), shares many similarities to that Universe while also having somewhat small (but significant) deviations - for example, the Saiyans are not only still alive, but are a benevolent mercenary race, acting as an intergalactic peacekeeping force (think something like the MCU’s Nova Corps). ‘tis here where we are introduced to Caulifla, a roguish Robin Hood-type delinquent and the first official female Super Saiyan in the franchise!... in the anime, that is. Her first transformation happens offscreen in the manga. Still, said introduction is exciting nonetheless.

Remember to read from right to left. Full pages from Chapter 32 are posted, as the series (barring Chapters 2-15) is available for free on viz.com . If you like what you see here, please support the official release.

LAST TIME ON DRAGON BALL SUPER...


There are exactly 12 unique Universes that exist within the Dragon Ball multiverse, all overseen and ruled by the wise and just King(s) of Everything. Unfortunately, he’s decided that most of them don’t meet his standards of quality, and has decided to host a large battle royale (dubbed the Tournament of Power) to see which of the Universes he plans to eliminate deserve to survive. The Gods of Destruction are given 48 hours to recruit ten different warriors from their respective Universes. Participation is mandatory. The losers are eradicated from existence, while the winner gets a full set of Super Dragon Balls.

Champa, Beerus’ brother and God of Destruction for Universe 6, enlists the aid of a Saiyan captain named Cabbe to help recruit fighters for the Tournament.





































Can Kale come out of her shell to reach her potential? Will Universe 6 manage to get through the Tournament intact? Find out next time on DRAGON BALL SUPER!

Back in the ‘Universe 6’ arc, Vegeta and Cabbe had a conversation about the Saiyans of their respective Universes and Cabbe mentions that their race had evolved beyond the need for tails (and, presumably, their Great Ape forms). Vegeta’s also the person who taught Cabbe to go Super Saiyan.

So does that mean Trunks, Goten, Pan and all of the other post-Gohan Saiyan hybrids are more evolved?

[sanjuro]

Toriyamas forgot to draw the tails so he pretty much came up with the half baked idea that no tails = more evolved

[locuatico]

My headcanon is that the tail trait are regressive genes for human/saiyan hybrids. It would explain why only 1 out of 4 half-saiyans did not have the tail.
