I thought it was because Gohan was the "chosen one" or something?

Gohan was barely able to lift it himself. Even as a Super Saiyan.

[up]IIRC, that was all bullcrap - they couldn't pull out the Z sword because they couldn't lift it, not because it had a 'Sword in the Stone' deal or anything of the sort going on for it. Hell, Gohan didn't so much pull it out as he destroyed the ground it was on, IIRC.

Yeah, the Z Sword was just stupidly heavy, so much so that none of the Kais could lift it. Somewhere along the line somebody probably thought "Well, if even the Kais can't remove it, it must be some kind of magical chosen one thing", and from there the legend sprang up around it.

There was never any magic surrounding the Z Sword, freeing it was just a matter of raw power.

Just saw the Spanish fan sub.

Turns out Whis and Beerus say the same thing about time travel as Sko T said in Xenoverse. That time travel is a sin.

You guys do know that it wasn''t the Z Sword that was heavy right? Otherwise Gohan wouldn't have been able to wield it as easily as he did after it was pulled out.

The problem was it was really fucking embedded into that boulder.

Nope.

Gohan flat out says it's incredibly heavy and he has trouble wielding it. He only wields it 'easily' after training with it for a while.

Furthermore, he hands it to Kibito and guess what happens? He can't even hold it in place for a few seconds.

Even Goku who, at that point, is still stronger than Gohan finds it heavy as balls.

There was nothing special about the pillar of rock it was embedded into, and the only magical thing about the sword is that it was used to seal away the Elder Kaioshin.

New DBH card is a Triple Team Card of DBS Future Trunks/Goku/Vegeta.

Pretty snazzy, if I do say so myself.

So yeah. Trunks is better at stopping Buu than his dad at least.

Still surprised Babidi and Dabura actually bothered, but I suppose for people who were actually wondering if they would ever show up in that timeline, this was to get that plot bunny out of the way.

Black says he's eliminating Humanity for the sake of justice. Not sure if he's serious, but considering how much he flat out seems to enjoy hunting people, he's likely just full of shit.

As for next weeks preview: Goku! Quite fucking around and use Super Saiyan Blue already!

Well, if he does turn out to be a God of Destruction like that internet theory buzzing around is suggesting, that would track. Beerus is much the same way.

I actually had to chuckle over the lack of Vegeta being around meant the Buu Saga was completely averted. tongue

To be fair, Goku only exacerbated the issue by agreeing to fight Vegeta, threatening Kaioshin when he tried to talk sense into them, and further refusing to use Super Saiyan 3 to stop Vegeta quickly out of misguided respect for the guy who just sold his soul.

Speaking of Vegeta, he seems to be backsliding a bit. The awkward inability to show anything but disapproval to his son bit is back, or at least more obvious than it's been in a while.

Though I can buy him being so quick to criticize Future Trunks because he's proud of him.

To be fair, although Goku didn't know that at the time, it's almost certain that Goku just transforming to SSJ 3 would've given Buu more than enough energy to come out.

By the way, I've been wondering. I know we give Chichi a hard time and all but... what does she see in Goku? She seems pretty annoyed at everything he does, they share no interests whatsoever and had spent maybe ten minutes in each others presence before they got married.

Chichi's unbelievably stubborn. It's likely their marriage survived because of her stubbornness. It started because of it, after all.

Well...

Because Toriyama said they are together.

That's the best I can think of. There might be other people who can come up with some stuff.

He agreed to marry her without knowing what that even meant and so they are going to get married and stay married. I really seems like that's the crux of it.

Basically, Chichi loves the idea of marriage and family more than the people actually involved.

Chichi is a fighter herself, though a lot of people tend to forget that. I think she understands Goku better than she lets on. Remember that she is the one who taught Goten most of what he knows about fighting.

The difference between them is that she sees physical training and such as a hobby and wants Goku to be responsible and be a productive member of society, whereas Goku... is Goku.

We pretty much never see them in a private moment during downtime (ie, when Goku isn't supposed to be working), so it's hard to say what they might do together then.

The same is true for Vegeta and Bulma: Vegeta's always training and Bulma's always science-ing, we never see them doing things together.

Well, when Chi-chi realized she may have picked the wrong guy, she was in too deep and just decided to ride it out.

I just realized:

Bulma made a barrier that could contain briefly contain two Super Saiyan 2 Saiyans.

That's pretty impressive.

...Now make some Powered Armour.

Besides, being married to Goku is probably not too different from having a teenaged son. She can deal with that.
