Please, don't delete or edit it. It looks funny out of place like this. Please, keep it!

Anyway, I've been thinking about this, do you guys still they'll add SoL parts in Ares? It really would add some interesting stuff. Beach episode... Camping, etc.

IE kinda had it already, tbh. I would love if SoL episodes are used to further character development or reveal something that we don't know about a certain character. The problem with some SoL is that sometimes it's just people doing mundane things while acting all wacky and stuff, which is fine for a first few episodes if the person going through is experiencing a culture shock or something like that.

In fact, the lack of this is a problem with Galaxy's world building. It introduced all these cool planets but we never really get to know about how they work other than what their species can do and etc. They feel more like animals in their own environment rather than people. I want to know more about Powai and her hobbies, not what she could do and the team that she leads. I want to know more about the stuff that Kazerma eat and have them show it to Earth Eleven for a taste. Stuff that would actually make us invested in this Intergalactic Tournament that could potentially result in one species being wiped out for another.

As slow as it is with DBS, they have had some positives with the current tournament saga. For the one the stakes were really high, as the moment your universe loses is the moment that its existence is pretty much gone. In that short amount of time, Toei manages to humanize them and show that each individual fighters in the tournament are their own people and are fighting for their rights to exist. Some are more annoying than others, but they are still individual people fighting to represent their universe. So when a universe team loses, it's not presented as "yatta" victory for Universe 7, it's presented as a solemn moment of sadness to the universe that is about to disappear for good, gone and without a trace. If stuff were presented much more seriously in Galaxy, then maybe it would have been taken just as seriously.

By all means, fanservice episodes are nothing new, and having a little of that is fine even if it doesn't contribute anything to the story.

TLDR: I would love meaningful slice of life episodes that develop the characters so that we could get invested in them. Fanservice is fine and all, but creating individual characters should take precedent.
