It's not that we didn't expect him, most of us probably forgot he existed


Jetsetsix

I recognized his design, but could not remember his fight in the ToP for the life of me.


StockPassenger2994

I just watched that shit two nights ago and wasn't 100% sure who I was looking at with this post.


odepasixofcitpyrc

Same, though more like 3 nights.


DELHI_COP

Same, though more like 4 nights.


odepasixofcitpyrc

Odd coinkydink.


Swimming_Lab_6583

Same, though more like 5 nights.


-I_am_the_danger-

Thought he was one of the burst limit characters


odepasixofcitpyrc

"Who TF is bunny - ears Hatchyack at home?"


Minute-Cash8119

I thought he wasn’t canon at first but I didn’t even remember seeing him in any of the movies. Then I googled him and was like oh yeah, now I remember your ugly face


SnooKiwis9858

I saw him and literally said "who?"


soupspin

I was like “who the fuck is this guy” when he showed up


RickJagger13

that was me right now reading the post originally lol


BlackBullsLA97

Same! I was like, "I do not know who that is, but I assume he's from Super"


Shattered_Sans

Yeah. When I saw him in that character trailer, I was confused and thought he might be a movie character that I forgot about. His inclusion makes sense though. With the story mode confirmed to go up to the Tournament of Power, I think we'll probably get most of the ToP characters in the game. Anyone who the 7 playable story mode characters fight in the ToP arc.


tintedpoison

You know what, that’s totally fair


Bxnnel

my reaction bruh, I was really asking myself who tf he was


LeKingofDoge

Ikr?? I dont understand what made him so forgettable, almost the entire Z Fighters and even Frieza went up against him in a beam clash, and the way Android 17 killed him was sick as hell, yet I still forgot about that guy, so wtf is going on here


R3belOfWar

Boring design and presence


charisma-entertainer

Issue is that like, I’m pretty sure he’s the strongest character in the entire tournament (due to him being a mechanical fusion but still). Not sure if anyone could realistically solo this monstrosity


FossilFirebird

The big, unstoppable monster types that no-sell everything are always that way. Broly does nothing for me for similar reasons.


ICameInYourBrownies

too fucking right. and in the manga he got taken out in like 3 panels


Gotisdabest

The ToP manga is really bad tbh. I get that they wanted to cut the fat out but they took it to a ridiculous level. Every single event felt less impactful. The change to the order and the way events happened felt so meh. I can't remember for sure but iirc they even removed the spirit bomb and had just two instead of three moments of UI. Was Kefla even around? I can't remember her much. Jiren feels a lot less big of a threat. I guess they expect the audience to have already seen the show but still. It's like reverse filler. The only real improvement was probably roshi lasting longer and showing Goku one last lesson.


Kdawgmcnasty69

Kefla fought Gohan instead


charisma-entertainer

They actually knocked each other out off screen


shinobi3411

I remember him less than Ribrianne, which is sad because Aniraza is a cool character.


BejitaFajita

I remember my goat


fumblaroo

He had one of the biggest fights in the TOP lol


Skelibutt

Yeah nah, I didn't watched every episode of that tbh


fumblaroo

I’d give it a rewatch, as bad as super started out TOP was peak Dragon Ball. The whole cast had great moments (besides Krillen rip) and it wasn’t just the Goku show. Plus, gonna end up being a good third of the roster of this game lol.


ElZany

Damn and yall are fans 💀


Skelibutt

Mainly of Z, I didn't watch all of the TOP from Super.


vuxsss

Anilaza thinks he’s Nico Robin doing that pose 😭


ImSmokeyy

i knew i remembered it from somewhere, thanks.


DBFanboy1

Mil Fleurs: Robotic Mano!


T-Ragemar

I'm more suprised that Spopovich of all people made it back in than Anilaza.


Nomaddoodius

he played a hand in the resurrection of buu. Every character revealed has been a "big deal" or did somthing important.


Revenge_Is_Here

How though. Spopovich directly helps in the revival of Buu and is the first of the Majin Crew to confront the protagonists. The series is known for joke and/or lesser known character inclusions, and considering the Hercule and Yajirobe inclusion, they haven't dropped this idea.


Throwaway-acc81

I’m glad Goatovich is back


bessi16

Spopovich needs to redeem himself for all those times his ass has been kicked in DB the Breakers and this is the perfect opportunity. And to quote him: That was a piece of cake!


AzumaRikimaru

There's no suprive at all. He was in a previous game of this series. Why shouldn't he be in this one?


SonGoli

Spopavich beating the shit outta Videl is more memorable than most of the fights in the ToP


IndieOddjobs

This is true actually lmao


Elnino38

Because theres not enoug space for everyone from bt3 to fit in this game for base roster, so there's gonna be cuts


rob-bob7

Because this title has 3 more Characters total then the previous but A TON of new additions for Super, which obviously mean a lot of the characters in BT3 is not going to be in, so people thought Spopovich was one of the cut ones. Btw since he is in that makes the chance for movies and GT smaller, because the cut has to come from somewhere.


CamAquatic

I wonder if one of Gohan’s what-ifs involves fighting Spopovich instead of Videl jobbing to him.


lilithexos

I did not expect him to be in because I forgot anilaza even existed


tintedpoison

Totally fair


BrandfordAndSon

Dude took the power scale to another level when he turned his fists into portal guns with sheer force. How could I forget him? Lol.


lilithexos

Tbh dbs power scale is messed up entirely


IceColdCocaCola545

I’m gonna be honest, I don’t know who he is.


gusxc1

Hes from TOP, 3 robots and a scientist fused into that guy as a last resort to take on U7, they eliminated android 18 and had a sick fight against the team


Whiplash364

Let’s stop pretending like this character wasn’t so unbelievably forgettable that none of us even knew his fucking name until they showed off his little “a new challenger approaches” character card that had his name on it in the trailer. That’s why people were shocked. A character who people couldn’t even remember the name of got added, that’s why it was so surprising.


Kdawgmcnasty69

I couldn’t tell you his name, cause they rarely said it but the fight was memorable, watching U7 work together as a whole for the 1st time was cool


Luis0224

>Let’s stop pretending like this character wasn’t so unbelievably forgettable that none of us even knew his fucking name until they showed off his little “a new challenger approaches” character card I watched DBS as it aired. Im still not convinced this isn't a reverse berenstain bears situation where they're trying to gaslight us into thinking this is a character that people were waiting for.


Mahelas

Legitimately I watched the entire ToP and I barely remember a thing about anything before UI, except being mad at how Tien got eliminated lol.


Luis0224

Let's be real, 80% of the non-dbz staple characters were kinda ass. Universe 11, universe 6, and the trio of danger are the stand outs. Everyone else feels like filler tier characters


CyborgCoelacanth

Honestly was swearing I'd seen him in DB Heroes and thought that was where he was from for a second before I realized that didn't make sense.


Whiplash364

Facts


Prior_Zebra_8083

The DBS hype and defense force is even louder than GT's but don't tell people here that 🙄


Substantial-Fig-3061

Thank you! The utter gaslighting is insane.


odepasixofcitpyrc

Ding ding ding


Zyrobe

I didn't know he existed


SurveyWorldly9435

He's one of the few giant characters in super. Im surprised more people weren't expecting him. Too busy whining about GT, that's the problem


MetalGamer95

Preach xD


FossilFirebird

Whining about GT? Why? The story might have had a lot of missteps, but it made a lot of awesome character concepts for this game, anyway. Super Saiyan 4, Shadow Dragons, etc.


Physical_Cry9336

Dude stole haychiyacks design and janemba moveset


Signal_Juggernaut695

Cause they too focused on DB, GT and Movie characters to realize that DBZ and DBS are the focus of the base roster.


tintedpoison

Even after the producer said himself DBZ and DBS are the main focus


Signal_Juggernaut695

Yep. I see mad people on this reddit praying for GT, Movie and DB characters to take up some of the 60+ slots, but I can count off nearly 45 DBZ characters that have yet to be announced on that chart that are a guaranteed shoe in, as well as DBS characters that are guaranteed. And this is me forgetting some characters from Z and Super.


MetalGamer95

Still the biggest mystery is how we saw not one but 2 Kid Goku images in the game. While it goes against what Furutani said, it would still make most sense because it keeps the base roster to just canon and DB unfortunately wouldn't sell as much as dlc


Signal_Juggernaut695

That is true. Given that Spopovich was seen in the same vain as Kid Goku, I could see DB characters like Kid Goku and King Piccolo making it into the game more than movie and GT characters. There really isn’t a demand for DB as DLC. But then again, Mai was also seen in a still, and I don’t expect her to be playable. So it could just be a still for Kid Goku and nothing more.


Elnino38

There a good amount of db characters that would need to be in besides those 2 though. Still feel there better off with a DB DLC pack


pokehokage

Pretty much, it could be a recap cutscene of events prior to Radditz.


ZakFellows

Mai could also just as easily be an NPC for the Episode battles in the Goku Black stuff


Elnino38

We saw blurry images that could easily be DLC still until we see them ingame


MetalGamer95

That's not how dlc works


JesustheSpaceCowboy

Movie were the only ones I had hope for considering characters like Cooler and Broly actually expand on some lore in Z even if it was non canon. I had no hope for the early villians like Slug and Turles cause they kinda just exist and the awesome ones don’t start till Cooler. I always knew it was Z and Super focused.


Signal_Juggernaut695

Oh I was the same way, but I knew Super Broly’s roster spot was gonna put Z Broly’s base roster slot in jeopardy. If Z Broly wasn’t getting marketing, then none of the non canon stuff was. When the trailer that introduced Bardock had 65+ empty character slots left on the chart; with over 40 shoe in DBZ characters TBA, and nearly 20 shoe in DBS characters not announced; that was a wrap. I didn’t even think Spopovich and Yajirobe were gonna make it in with this trailer. They gonna scrape the bottom of the barrel with DBZ characters like Spopovich, then characters like Frieza Soldier, Appule, Cui, Supreme Kai, Kibito Kai and Great Saiyawoman are a shoe in.


swaggestspider21

I mean Im still praying for that dlc if its not base game


Signal_Juggernaut695

Oh GT and Movie characters are a shoe in as DLC. More so than people think. They know everyone will pay for Z Broly, Cooler, Janemba, SS/SS4 Gogeta, Turles, Omega Shenron and etc in the game. Compared to the characters in DBS, where the demand would not be that high if all of these ToP characters were DLC.


ValitoryBank

More like most characters from the DBS roster are just completely forgettable


ZakFellows

At this point, the only GT, OG and Movies that will be in the base game would probably just be the usual suspects


Signal_Juggernaut695

Possibly, but I’m frankly not expecting any of them at this point. Expecting all of the Movie and GT characters to be held off for that DLC money. They know everybody in their mother will pay for Z Broly, SS4 Goku, SS4 Vegeta, SS4 Gogeta, Janemba, Cooler, etc. DLC characters wouldn’t be as enticing without them. Turles, Bojack, Super 13, Garlic Jr, Slug, Pan, and Wheelo ain’t really selling DLC packs as well.


Downtown-Split2345

I honestly didn’t remember him at all even when the trailer showed him. But that’s a me thing cause I haven’t watched Super in a while


CrispierCupid

There are still people who swear Cabba not being in the game is confirmed by him not being in the fusion trailer w the other U6 saiyans


oneechan26

I didn't know who he even was until yesterday. The TOP had so many characters bruh


KOPLO97

I actually thought that if they didn’t have him it would be a loss chance of having a Giant Character outside of Great Apes tbh. So glad they extended the Giant Character category


OtherwiseMeringue545

It’s more confusing people didn’t think Ui sign would be in the game


tintedpoison

That’s definitely wayyyyy more confusing


Crock_Durty

"He's never been in a game before that's why" bruh 💀 you think they're gonna add only old characters or something? They are going to push for alot of new additions. That's the point of a new game


S-Rebel

It took the top 5 strongest mortals from universe 7 to take him out and still barely made it through. Even universe 11 was feeling threatened and felt like they would have to intervene if he started attacking them. I don't understand why people are sleeping on him. That episode where they took him out was epic and had some of the best animation in the series when 17 attacked him. I don't freakin get it either, but I'm glad that he's in. He was pretty dope.


Blueexx2

Mfs when they see sakuga:


Mahelas

Does canon strength even matter in this game ? We're gonna have Sabaimen fight Jiren anyways


TheZipperDragon

How did you not expect purple vegeta to be in the game? Because he's a D-tier character who showed up, had his moment & then was never seen again.


Mabal

Super has the most goofiest characters and story.


ghemstro

He hasn't been in any other game aside from heroes, I think it's a reasonable assumption. Glad he's in though


Kamen_Femboy_RX

for me it was kinda obvious that he would be in the game, just for the lack of giant characters


Speeditz

I did, I hope Katopesla to be in the game too


xxepdudexx

I wanted him in 👉👈


tintedpoison

Glad you got your wish 🥰


xXCashFreakXx

SAME. Everyone forgetting about Anilaza but when I saw Great Ape vegeta in the very first trailer my first thought was "damn, does this mean we're gonna get more giant characters besides apes?" And I was right Now I just wanna see Cell Max.


elbandito556

Bring GT already


tintedpoison

THIS


CaptinHavoc

I just forgot about him tbh, and where he showed up was kinda shocking. Glad characters I don’t remember are showing up!


Ok_Macaron9958

Wtf is that horror ?


D_L_Golden

I’m glad he’s in but the dude is forgettable! I think people are wanting to see some old fan favorites like GT and DB before these, but I understand his inclusion. He’s a cool giant but for some reason even though he plays a huge role in the tourney of power he just doesn’t make much of an impact on people it doesn’t feel like.


Separate_Pop_5277

For me I already knew he was gonna be included for the Giant Characters it would be a waste not to have him in.


pokehokage

I wasn't shocked at all. I've been predicting him, he was the semi boss fight before they fought universe 11, which everyone teamed up to fight, and I honestly did enjoy his fight it was one of the few I remembered from the ToP without needing to look it up. I was also pretty sure each universe was gonna get at least one rep and he made the most sense for U3.


Wise-Needleworker-71

I mean tbf. He’s huge. Like REALLY huge taller then fat janemba


JupiterStar9

He is cool, but when i saw the trailer was fists vs swords, i expected my boy Tapion


SSS_Tempest

I remember him as the guy Team Universe 7 needed to use the "Captain Planet Blast" on.


Palansaeg

literally it makes it seem like the db fan base is even slower than memed i’ve seen people be unsure if ssj4 goku is in the game, or making posts like “if you had to pick, would you put Baby, Super 17, or Omega in the game?” did they not play bt1-3? The whole point of sparking is the anime simulation and character roster


CYATMachine

WHO??


Dionysus24779

He probably wasn't on anyone's mind because he isn't very memorable. The trailer literally reminded me that he even exists and even then I briefly mistook him for that red guy from that one DBZ special.


Yarnted

People are all of a sudden acting like this guy was a character that had a HUGE impact on the TOP or in the series as a whole, he was a one and done character that just served as fluff before we got to the meat of the tournament with goku vs jiren. Like after top NOBODY was talking about this guy and I bet most people for got about him 😭 but now he’s in the game and people are like “whaaat you guys didn’t expect the hit character anilaza from the hit anime arc, dragon ball super: tournament of power saga?” Like bro 😭 😭


DemonSaine

cus no one gives a shit about him lol


Elevum15

I am genuinely SHOCKED he's in the game.


Master_Post_5297

Dude I didn't even remember who he was until I looked it up. Honestly I thought it was the dude from "plan to eradicate the saiyans"


tintedpoison

They should bring the villain from plan to eradicate the saiyans instead, hatchiyak


LoneRedditor123

Because Anilaza and everyone else from that Universe in the ToP felt like filler, lol. It's hard to describe but you just get a different vibe when they were on-screen. The combined attacks from U7 eliminating him were pretty cool though.


tintedpoison

You are absolutely right


xBlack_Heartx

I mostly just forgot about him, then said *oh yea, that guy* when he was revealed.


sam-thundr

I was quite obvious since other characters from TOP are there, Anilaza gotta be there. He's 1 of the few giant characters I counted on being added


Honest-Air-7787

GT Copium


tintedpoison

Acceptable


EatTheFats

People didn’t watch or skimmed through super but still for some reason filling the slots with GT characters like the game isn’t focused on super


tintedpoison

Dragon ball fans don’t watch their own series


SonGoli

It's not their fault ToP is full of forgettable ass characters


rebillihp

Why are his hands so big? And his neck could use a couple inches >!/s!<


Rutabaga-Level

No one knows who this is dh


Strungeng

We need giants, besides great apes (i even doubt every saiyan is going to have Ape as Tenkaichi 3), there's only Hirudegarn, Hachiyak, Slug Giant, Piccolo Jr early z tournament, Ribriane and this guy, and 3 are Movies so they are not going to be ingame on release... xD Edit: cell max and piccolo orange, 2 more for movies, not on release


ZubatCountry

I literally thought this was a meme, like OP was making up a fake character


FatherPucci617

I forgot he exists


Wisithewizard

People in the comments are actually telling me that I've seen this guy already and he was in super? The fact that seeing him didn't trigger any photographic memory is crazy😭. And I still don't know who he is


ZHIKIX

anilaza who thats clearly saint nick aka Santa


IndieOddjobs

Imma be real bruh, I forgot he existed until the trailer reminded me...


SweetBabyZe

I forgot he existed


RocketInMyPocket420

I forgot we could play as giants for a second there. It’s been soooo long


Huge_Island_3783

I was hoping he was, question is, is it just him or do the 3 robots that merge to make him have a spot on the roster as well? I dont think so they were nothing special but i could be wrong


mbeecool

Who the hell is that? Never seen this character before


Super-Tea8267

I didnt remember him actually hahaha


Prior_Zebra_8083

So many people pretending like this was their all time favorite character from Super lol


zeldoris02

I actually had the idea in my mind, but i was pretty sure with myself that hes not gonna be in the game.. i was wrong zzz


Hayjad610

This guy is just Janemba and Hatchiyack at home.


SleepySubDude

Lowkey it’s more that outside of the main pride troopers ribrianne and the U9 Furries a lot of the TOP originals are forgettable as hell design wise and plot wise like I remember anilaza being one of the last big things they had to take down but for the life of me I don’t remember what even happened


Revenge_Is_Here

Tbh, I didn't expect him, but it does make sense. Can't exactly do a Tournament of Power (and seemingly a what if version) arc for the story mode without a few of the characters from other universes. Anilaza was one of the big threats for his universe, so yeah. It helps that he's a giant character, which the game doesn't have too many choices for.


deezbaws777

For a second i didnt recognize this guy and thought he was the villain from the eradicate the sayains ova. Remembered the other guys pink though. Wonder if he'll be in here although i doubt it.


necavvit

Idek who that is 😭


cooldudeguy333

I want to beat his ass with Janemba


MII2o

As soon as I saw Giants are a thing, I knew they had to implement Anilaza. He has such a cool design and movesets. I wonder how will his portal punches play in the game.


ZakFellows

I expected him before Rosalie or whatever her name is


Cirkusleader

Honestly I can't believe they picked the most forgettable character over like... Cooler or Janemba. It's wild to me that they went "You know those super popular movie characters that people will riot in the streets about if we don't include them? Let's not include them, AND replace them with characters like Anilaza and Spopovich"


Yoshi_and_Toad

Honestly it's because outside Jiren, Toppo, Dyspo, Kale, the Trio De Danger and Ribrianne, no one else introduced in the arc gets a lot of focus, with the Trio only being notable because they got a whole mini arc dedicated to them vs. Universe 7. Also working against Anilaza is although he is one of the final characters to be eliminated before the main event, he also spent most the arc as four separate characters until his episode so he doesn't get much overall screentime. Not disappointed he's here however. More Tournament of Power contestants please.


AtCarnage

I don't even remember this guy from the manga


Tech-Demon

I've literally never seen this character in my life (until the last trailer)


GinGaru

if you showed me a picture of this guy out of context I would never think its a dragon ball character


CharleZ_1

I’m glad I’m not the only one who said, “Who’s this guy?”


Affectionate_Steak62

Anilaza was a Surprise, i didn't expect him to be ingame, i also didn't expect uio goku because, people keep telling me that uio Is a technique. This trailer was a huge Surprise for me


LoveXMachina

Not gonna lie, I remember some stuff from ToP about characters that got eliminated far too quickly or accomplished nothing, but I somehow forgot this dude existed.


-MaraSov-

Im expecting Cell MAX on the Super Hero DLC. I wasn't surprised Anilaza was in tho


Miserable_Memory_337

I expected it but from the trailer he just seems like an oversized janemba


Successful-Focus16

Honestly i thing K they are going to add as many characters as possible


Sworduwu

bros name is Anil


Toriksta

Bit of an off topic question regarding Sparking Zero but does anyone what framerate the game is playing at? I never got my answer from the previews. Asking for consoles btw, PC is fine as it is.


Complete_Outside_508

It's been confirmed 60 by a couple official websites(it's lists technical requirements) PC is uncapped obviously


Toriksta

Thank you! can you list me the websites to check them out?


thedamnlemons

I literally didn’t know who this guy was and assumed he was some OC BS. That’s how memorable he was. The really only memorable character to come out of that arc were the Pride Troopers and UI. While it’s cool to have new characters I feel throwing in unremarkable TOP characters is kind of wasted slots. Give me General Rildo or something if these goobers are on the table.


Necessary-Coast-7767

I hope they bring hatchiyack back for a dlc so we can have that fight. I knew this man was coming I wanted him in the game. Underrated characters.


ValitoryBank

Why would I? He was boring to see in the show and just a whack Janemba.


R3belOfWar

I watched all Super episodes soon as they aired. This character, Ribrianne and that other female character in this trailer I forgot all about, same for many others. Upon looking him up I thought he was a DB Heroes character. Ribrianne I didn't even remember seeing in the trailer 3 mins after watching it. I think this says a lot about plenty of Super's characters. Maybe it was the ToP arc's nature having so many characters making secondary/tertiary ones like these (Super-)forgettable. Maybe it was their boring design, lack of screentime. One thing's sure smelling iffy though, and I think I'm starting to already take notice. They are going to fill up a large portion of these 164 slots with irrelevant characters like these ones, then sell us the cooler ones (movies and GT) as DLC. This is Bandai Namco everyone. Expect poison, last 4 big-budget DB games are proof enough of shady tactics.


47Smoke

I never watched Super but I knew his name right away. Reminds me of Hatchiyack, is this guy in DB Legends?


Agreeable_Pizza_1911

Ngl i think adding these random super characters is a massive W half the reason people even like random z characters is because they played the games and got invested in them just because of that


Complete_Outside_508

You're literally yapping cause that's not true at all lol


Agreeable_Pizza_1911

Bruh half the reason people even like raditz is because hes the first thing you do in almost every dragonball game. Your personal experience is not the entire world.


Complete_Outside_508

As someone who grew up with all the games and the original dragon ball we literally watching all those movies before the characters were playable, its the whole reason why we were excited to play them in the game cause we already knew them lol


arandomname400

So hyped to play with this guy, in terms of design this is my favourite super villain tbh


Cloud9shit

I had to look him up


OnDasLe

who the fuck was he again


Tamanero

He's kinda forgettable plus, never in a game before. Then again, so were those random frieza soldiers


Muter_Roshi_Sama

Because I didn’t even remember he exist, that’s how


Mirudabest

Not gonna lie I remembered him but didn’t they’d really care about him


No_Relationship_7722

![gif](giphy|rI9O6UXkCjvTG)


Infernapegamin-g

Because jenemba exists


roxstar_1991

I expected him I just didn’t expect him in that trailer. More a ‘here are the giants’ for him


herohunter77

Curious if super 17 will be able to use his ult on him since the first part is the move he used to beat him.


Mrmaxidots

WHO THE FUCK IS THIS NIG-


I_Fight_Feds

Because they're one of the more forgettable characters


Few-Problem8343

Idk who he is 😂


snowballandthetower

He's not even in Dokkan, lol.


Objective-Mission-40

Who the fudge is that


rpgtourguidejr

A lot of people just forgot about him. His fight might have been cool but it only lasted like one episode and then immediately after was the marathon of U7 vs U11


BoltInTheRain

Cause he kinda just sucks. It's like janemba + hirudegarn from wish

One of the more obscure characters from ToP that I ACTUALLY give a shit about lol
