Dragonball Super manga Volume 2 (Chapter 11)

 By Mark Rodriguez

The Universe 6 VS Universe 7 tournament continues. Frost manages to defeat both Goku and Piccolo with a mysterious method. Jaco was able to point out that he was using some sort of weapon, which turned out to be a poisoned needle. This reinstates Piccolo into the tournament, but Vegeta offers to take his place so that he can get to fight Frost. 

Chapter 11- Vegeta's Turn!

The announcer is confused that Vegeta wants to fight Frost, even though Piccolo's loss was now redacted and he's still next. Vegeta says Piccolo wishes to forfeit and Piccolo nods. Champa says they can do whatever they want. Beerus calls Goku over and shows them the mark left when he also got pricked by the poison needle, so he should also be placed back in. Vegeta insists he's going next and that Goku can hop in last. Beerus insists that Monaka must be last so their order will be Vegeta, then Goku and finally Monaka. The announcer agrees to their line up. 

Frost tells Vegeta not to regret his decision and Vegeta tells him not to worry about that. Vegeta turns Super Saiyan and dashes at him with a swinging chop that Frost manages to block. He then throws a punch that Frost blocks as well. Vegeta kicks Frost back and suddenly grabs him, bringing him in for a knee to the gut. The impact sends Frost flying back. Vegeta extends his arm and sends a shock wave that knocks Frost out of the air and out of bounds.

Vegeta tells the announcer not to worry, he knows he will lose if he actually kills Frost. With Frost confirmed alive, Vegeta wins the fight. The next match begins which will be between Vegeta and the huge robot-looking guy named Otta Magetta. Magetta chugs a container full of oil and throws it away. He then lets off lots of steam. Vegeta is wondering what this guy is.

Roh Kaioshin asks the Universe 6 Kaioshin if he's sure Magetta isn't just a robot. The Universe 6 Kaioshin tells him he's a Metal Man from galactic system 66950, and surely Universe 7 must have someone like him. Universe 7 Kaioshin thinks so and his ancestor tells him he needs to study more.

The fight begins and Vegeta flies in with a punch that actually hurts his hand. Just then Magetta swings his huge metal arm down and clocks him on the head. Vegeta falls and notices he's about to be stomped on by Magetta's tank tread type feet. Vegeta quickly rolls out of the way and takes to the sky. He lets out a powerful energy blast that hits Magetta to do nothing. As the smoke cleared, the blast did nothing, and Magetta let out more steam.

Goku yells out for Vegeta to try pushing him out of the ring or maybe picking him up. Vegeta decides to give it a try, even turning Super Saiyan, but he can't lift the heavy mountain of steel. Vegeta gets bashed upside the head for his trouble. Beerus tells Goku that Metal Men weigh at least 1000 tons and  Piccolo says this fight won't be like the fight he had against Botamo.

Vegeta is angry for having listened to Goku, however he doesn't have many options since Magetta can take all of his attacks. Vegeta starts shooting off multiple fireballs, destroying the platform and exposing the ground underneath. Magetta runs from the attacks and Vegeta says he will destroy the entire platform, which would force him to be out of bounds. Just then Magetta opens his mouth and spits out boiling oil that works its way past the fireballs and towards Vegeta. 

Vegeta dodges it and asks the announcer if that's not cheating. The announcer says that the oil is Magetta's spit so it's not breaking the rules. Vegeta is disgusted he's fighting him using his spit and calls Magetta a piece of iron trash. Magetta hears this and freezes up. One of Vegeta's fireballs hits him and he falls out of bounds. Everyone is surprised. Whis explains that Metal Men are very sensitive people; insults can render them too depressed to fight. 

Chichi offers sliced watermelon for everyone to enjoy. Meanwhile Vados repairs the ring so it's good as new. The next opponent is Cabba, which is a fellow Saiyan from Universe 6 and Vegeta is very anxious to face him.

The bonus gag page is Botamo trying to comfort Magetta and telling him that if he fixed his attitude, he'd be the strongest of them all. 

My thoughts- 

Pretty good chapter for Vegeta fans. He gets to get some payback on Freeza via Frost and also fights an impressive opponent. I like how the tournament adds new and interesting enemies with all sorts of attacks and gimmicks. 

The anime added an extra layer to it as this match had a giant glass box encasing the arena before the match started. As the fight went on and Magetta kept pumping out more steam and attacks that generate insane amounts of heat, the arena itself would get full of steam. Now Vegeta was fighting off not just his opponent but also the intense ever growing heat and dehydration. Vegeta had to power up to the point that the entire dome around them shattered to finally cool things down.

It was a cool chapter and the gang gets to relax with some watermelon. The next chapter will be interesting as Vegeta faces off with the Saiyan from Universe 6.
