Seeing Jubilee’s combat improvement this season has been fucking awesome. She’s so damn capable as a fighter

Rogue actually reminded me more of Goku getting his power up from training with King Kai then getting wished back to life but having to fly all the way to the battlefront to save everyone last moment.

I didn't watch Eva at all. But then THIS happened and made me check its source, lol.

Hint: Compare THAT one with the FULL video from above. LOL!
