Yeah. It's a mystery really.

I suppose we'll know soon enough.

Champa is my guess. He might be trying to take out Goku to put Universe 7 at a disadvantage for the tournament.

Also with this reveal I will say that supers Manga is for sure inferior to the anime version.

It's much more bland and too rushed.

Don't be f'cking ridiculous random person on the internet whose feelings I am completely disregarding for the sake of rebuttal! It's like we don't randomly mention Jojo or One Punch Man or Hunter X Hunter in this thread at least once a month!

Super's good but goodness gracious if you've somehow ignored the above 3 stop reading this and watch them. Watch them now!

I said airing right now, Jojo is the only one that is and its not that good.

I guess Keijo is better than super but I wouldn't really rec it unless you don't mind the fanservice and absurdities like giving yourself a wedgie gives you Flash Step levels of speed.

It could be a new character, but the only kind I could see being worth all this mystery involved would be an alternate version of one of the main characters - which, from what we've seen of Universe 6, seems unlikely.

I mean.

Near as I can tell the only people who can tell the Attendants what to do at any point in any capacity is the Gods of Destruction.

It's an interesting relationship.

On the one hand, there's the axis of Master and Servant.

On the other hand, in the other direction, there's the axis of Master and Student.

The attendants don't seem to be forced to do anything by the Gods of Destruction, and I'd imagine that Whis can and will step in to knock Beerus the hell out if he's going way out of line. Hell, I'd assume that's his true purpose.

Whis takes Beerus everywhere when Beerus is trying to be lazy and doesn't want to just fly himself.

Vados blows up planets for Champa when Champa doesn't wanna.

Like, Whis made his deal with Vegeta and Bulma for Earth food, but when Beerus sneezes and nearly kills Goku and Vegeta, Whis doesn't really seem to mind or try to warn them or stop Beerus or anything.

Like, in Xenoverse Beerus does tell Whis what to do and makes him train the Future Warrior and Trunks.

Whis and Vados step in when Beerus and Champa might destroy the universe. That's the sort of scale they step in at.

They're "forced" by virtue of the fact that it's their job.

I mean. If you take them being called "angels" into account. It's questionable whether or not they actually have "free will" per se?

Like. They literally can't function anymore if their god dies.

I'm fairly sure that all of that can be very easily explained by just remembering that Whis does not give a single phuck, and presumably, neither does Vados.

Makes sense to me.

Basically the only time he'll do anything (barring cutting Trunks and Mai a break, and even that was a esoteric one), he'll only do something when time needs to be rewound.

There has been several times that Whis has stepped in to hold back Beerus.

Also, i'm pretty sure it's frost that hired Hit to take out Goku

Sounds good. Always good to hear Schemmel as Goku. I don't know what it is, but his voice always makes me smile.

It's unedited, so they kinda had to.

He's a saiyan, though, it only makes him stronger.

Saiyans are like Nietzche's wet dream. That which don't kill you will make you just about strong enough to be relevant in the next fight somehow.

I thought Zenkais stopped being a thing for the actual Saiyans after Namek. They never really bring about any significant change otherwise.

In hindsight, it's a damn good thing Frieza didn't undershoot when he tried to blow up Vegeta.

Actually, that would make a pretty funny fic. Frieza botches destroying the planet, and somehow, everyone there instantly jumps to Super Saiyan.tongue

Sure, they'd need to recover from their injuries first, and most of them likely weren't that strong yet, but I'd love it for the look of absolute terror on Frieza's face when an entire army of angry gold monkey men decide to whoop his ass.

If Freeza botches destroying Vegeta like he did Namek... That wouldn't spontaneously give every Saiyan alive a Zenkai. First they'd need to be beat to near death and then they'd need to heal from that.

And since Freeza's the one with the healing pods...

Damn.

Well I already knew it wouldn't happen since they couldn't heal, but still.

.....

New thought. If every Saiyan on Vegeta at the time had transformed into a Great Ape and combined their Great Ape mouth blasts into one big attack, do you think it could have stood up to the death ball Frieza created?
