Found a very cool update on the western release:

Europe 2/13/15

Steam (this could also be related to the North America release since it's worldwide PC release) 2/17/15








Some are criticizng the GT Vegeta, Gold armor and Crystal armor preorder method to get
them (and coming up with paranoid ideas of how exaggerated the post launch DLC milking will be) , but they should be glad to play it at all.

So the Majin race can be any color? Welp, something to look forward to. But why have body types, but no slim Majin?

So the Majin race can be any color? Welp, something to look forward to. But why have body types, but no slim Majin?

Well it could be among these reasons.

1. They already broke the record of providing the most amount of playable races
in a Dragon Ball game (Dragon Ball Online only had three: Human, Namek and Majin).
Providing lots of customization options for Human, Sayian, Frieza(?), Namek and Majins
would of course set a strict cap on how much customization each race gets, especially in
regards to body customization.

2. It is probably because of Dragon Ball Online (and Dragon Ball Heroes) lore that
male majins are always fat.

3. It could add incentive for more players to play as female Majin, which have slim body.

4. the origins of Majin race had Mr. Buu (fat) and Ms. Buu/Buuby (slim) the foundation of
how the shape of their descendants are based on their gender. It could be a unique trait
that is exclusive to that race, so the developers follow that lore since there are no sources
that have contradicted that fact.

5. even though Buu was known to take different forms, including tall and slim form,
again, reasons 1., 2. and 4. could be strong influences why the Majin race is set to the
standards it has now.

6. people could argue that Majin at least has the benefit of having fat and slim option through
gender choice, while the other races have no choice of being fat at all (from what is seen
currently). So Majin still has some exclusive size advantages exclusive to male majins,
while female majins still provide a slim option.

7. perhaps slim is exclusive to Super Buu due to the nature of their absorption.
Super Buu was Fat Buu + Evil Buu, absorption how it works for a Majin could have different
physical nature than for example breeding new Majins. So the traits that Majin descendants
receive, could be more specific. Also Majin descendants are said to be weaker than
Pure Majin by default, so changing their body mass may not be as simple, unless there are
transformations yet to be invented/discovered that the Majin race can use to go from fat
to slim and vice versa.

8. perhaps to make each Majin gender more unique. And it could also tie into their
natural unique gameplay traits (male majins are slower, female majins are faster.)

Straight from the Majin race example video:

male majins have more HP, lower speed.
female majins have less HP, higher speed.

So those gameplay traits could also factor into the overall standard size for both.



So there are several factors to why the race is designed and set this way.
and I think it does make sense on multiple standpoints. That's not to say they can't
add more options, but I think at least for now, they want each gender to commit to
a specific build for that race, and want that build to reflect upon their body mass.
