So, since a new SSJB Goku card in DBH has a "Shenron Mode" ability, what do ya think it entails for DBS?

What is "Shenron Mode?"

Shenron means Dragon God,so it may just be a God thing?

Don't overthink it. Shenron Mode just allows a greater chance to obtain items and moves.

Super Saiyan 5 was supposedly a transformation from Goku fusing with Shenron. Just an observation.

It means Goku decided he needed to eat some dragon meat. Devouring Shenron fused the two together and turned Goku into a genie.

Here's the card.

Apparently he can do the Dragon God Kamehameha while in Shenron Mode.

It means that people really like conflating Goku and Shenron for Rule of Cool regardless of whether or not it makes sense.

Wrath of the Dragon did it by giving Goku a punch that explodes his ki into a golden Shenron for no reason.

GT did it by having Goku leave at the end of the series to go somewhere with Shenron and then merge with him, which has nothing to do with anything Shenron's purpose has ever been.

Now Dragon Ball Heroes is doing it.

Can Piccolo age? Demon King Piccolo wished for eternal youth; did it carry over to Junior?

Maybe Shenron and Goku will do the fusion dance in that new DBZ game that's all about fusions? I dunno.

@saiga

Well... you haven't sank a $100 and got nothing, so you got out of FGO relatively intact.

Piccolo intended to wish for eternal youth but only actually wished for his youth restored.

I assume Piccolo Jr. can age, given that he grew up from an egg. Namekians age slower than humans, however.

And Piccolo is closer to Gohan's age than Goku's anyway.

Pretty sure that growing and aging are different from a biological standpoint but you're still probably right.

[up][up] That's true. He's only four years older than Gohan.

EDIT: Crunched the numbers.

At the time of the Tenkaichi Budokai in the Buu arc, Piccolo is simultaneously 21, 313, and somewhere over 513.

When then, Dende must be short for Namek youth, eh?

He's barely any taller than Popo.

Considering that he's still a shrimp seven years later, I'm inclined to say yes. That is his maximum height. He will never tower over humans like Piccolo.

Even Goku got a growth spurt after only six years trapped at two feet tall.

I hate it when people take Heroes seriously. It's just Bandai doing whatever the hell they feel like to come up with new cards.

Now, if some of that ever crosses over into Super, then I'm definitely saying the series Jumped the Shark. Super is already pretty much a toy commercial (especially the RF arc), but at least it tries to be subtle about it.

The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!

Not all Namekians are anywhere as tall as Piccolo. Many of them are quite short, like Moori.

No the Namekians (besides Elder who just bloated from all the water) were much taller than him. In fact the only other Namekian who was as tall as Piccolo was Nail. Coincidentally they both were Warrior type Namekians so that might have something to do with it.
