True. But Gohan will probably never get that far. At most, he'll look to be strong enough to prevent another situation like with Frieza, but I doubt he'll seek the God power, because there shouldn't be any enemies left that require that level of power.

Shit, they should totally do the ritual on Pan. God Videl man. Make this happen!

[up]Another situation like Freeza...

You know, another situation that requires being a freaking god to not instadie in.

God Videl, with a power multiplier of, let's say, 1000x, making her almost as powerful as... first form form Freeza.

If you're being really generous.

That's a better reason for them to do the ritual on Pan. She's the only one they can do it on for the time being. Human gets a super form? Baby gets a god form? Gohan's a nerd, so let it be. Who needs a god form other than she?

And it still wouldn't be enough to beat Raditz if he trained for four months.

Man this episode was mostly a recap episode. Of last week's episode. It reminded me of the second episode of the Clerks cartoon where they just kept flashing back to the same scene of the first episode.

There really is nothing stopping them from doing the ritual on all living Saiyans right now.

Jesus no, there really isn't.

The half-saiyans have no reason for being restricted from Godhood with the information we have right now.

If Satan does get to make a wish on the super dragon balls with no limits. It would be cool if he wished to be the actual strongest in the universe.

Well, there's always the reason that's the most simple and probable answer.

They're just not really all that interested in becoming Gods.

True, but that's not really an obstacle, it's just a lack of interest. If any of them gained an interest in it actually doing it would be easy.

I still don't think SSG is a multiplier.

It doesn't seem like a multiplier.

I think it'd be easy for Toriyama to say that you'd need Saiyans who aren't already gods for the God ritual.

So even if they brought back Tarble, they'll still be short by at least one until Bra and Pan are old enough, and those three would still need to be Super Saiyans.

Remember, they just barely edged by with unborn Pan before.

Why would they need to Super Saiyans? Fetus Pan definitely wasn't when they did it the first time.

The thing is, with Vegeta obtaining god form...from sheer force of will, the ritual isn't required anymore. That, and everyone seemed to imply Goku holding onto his god powers after SSG expired was a very weird thing that doesn't normally happen.

But they haven't really given a clear-cut reason as to why no one else tried the ritual. Perhaps they will later on. Dunno.

Somehow, I doubt any of the Saiyan kids will get god forms in any way. They're not Goku and Vegeta. They're not important enough to have new forms.

At the very least, it gave a better way of getting a power-up than "just sitting in a circle and letting your friends give you power".

But I won't deny Vegeta getting god power was one of the most goddamn stupid things Super/RF/the new material has done so far.

...it's actually making me dislike Vegeta. Just how much favouritism seems to be given to him nowadays.

Even in dialogue, they're making Goku look even dumber so Vegeta looks better by comparison.

It's really frustrating me.

I loved that scene between Buu and Mr.Satan in this week's episode.

Especially the "Mr.Satan already gave everything i could ever want "line.

[up] It wasn't just "force of will", Whis's training obviously had a hand in Vegeta gaining God Ki.

And Goku has never been smart. This is the same guy that thought marriage was food.

Vegeta has always been smarter than him, so has most of the cast.

Okay, far as I can tell, Super Saiyan God gave Goku a huge boost, training with Whis gave Vegeta a huge boost, evening them out, then they both trained with Whis and got stronger, then Whis put them in a dimension similar to the HTC except filled with Godly Ki, which they absorbed through training to unlock Super Saiyan Blue.
