Also the sun doesn't have a ki signature.
So has anyone tried reading that Zeroverse fanmanga Masako was talking about?
My various fanfics.I don't think it works that way.
Plus, it doesn't matter. Goku wants to have Vegeta around to fight, so he's not gonna kill him.
He spared him entirely so he could fight him again, even after he caused so much harm. If he won't kill him after that, he won't kill him ever.
One Strip! One Strip!I assume the unrelenting vacuum of space and the fiery doom of the sun would do quite a bit of damage before he could port back out.
As for the "teleport to anyplace that contributes ki to a spirit bomb" thing, is the bit with Goku taking power from trees and the planet(s) itself and such in the original? Cause if it is, and he still can't teleport wherever he wants, then he probably can't port to the sun.

Eh, I wouldn't worry too much about that. Kai got his reason for sparing Vegeta and not going after Gero before the androids right, etc, after all. That change you mention probably has less to do with preserving some people's visions of Goku and just that it sounds better in the moment or to match lip flaps or something.
Besides, it's not like Goku doesn't care about his family being safe (well, maybe...), and some things in Super are too explicit to be "heroed up".

Yea, that was pretty noticeable to me too, but Funimation does have a habit of making Goku's dialogue seem a lot more heroic than the original. Not just in Super, but in movies like Battle of Gods as well.
I suppose it's for consistency, but I don't really mind it since it's not really changing Goku's character all that much.
A lazy millennial who's good at what he does."Stop enjoying destruction!" vs "I will not let you destroy my world!"
On a side note, the sun producing Genki makes sense, but it also has no bearing on whether the sun has a senseable Ki signature, since everything has Genki. Genki is the energy present at the smallest and most basic atomic level.

...with some tweaking, that would work great Dragon Ball for wouldn't it?

Buldogue's lawyerI added an image to Dragon Ball Super.
Do you think it fits?
To win, you need to adapt, and to adapt, you need to be able to laugh away all the restraints. Everything holding you back.Well, broadly speaking, no. SOME people do if that was what you're asking, but there are so many different fan circles and Super is obviously very popular right now.
Maybe if you look at Super once it has aged the amount GT has at this point, you'd see a similar sentiment. But individual perceptions of quality aside, I highly doubt it, because there are so many other factors that go into it and Super was in a much better position to succeed, as it came at a time where new DB content was in high demand and low supply, while GT came right on the heels of the more successful anime (and manga) which were still fresh enough to be its competition. And then there's the recent trend of sequels/remakes of older works, as illustrated quite well in our current Hollywood trends.
But if I were to go into all the different factors surrounding the timing and receptions of both series I'd just ramble on. So yeah, if you're talking about people at large, I definitely don't think the reaction is comparable. Among the circles that ARE critical of Super, it's easy to find fans that dislike it as much as GT or more-so. There are also fandoms out there that treat GT more favourably than Super, for a variety of reasons (hardcore GT fans who might hate Super for competing/replacing it or for not being along the same vein as GT, fans who don't necessarily like GT but believe Super is having a larger negative impact/is simply worse, etc).
edit: Also, the questions back about curing the Heart Virus with Senzu or Dragon Balls: people are very quick to say Toriyama didn't think about things when they themselves haven't considered the circumstance. Goku's own heart episode took 3 days total, only a small window of which was life threatening for him. The only reason it was a big deal in the current timeline was because it happened while he was fighting, they can't very well do anything about it at that time and he had shown no symptoms beforehand for them to fix. The senzu healing tissue damage is logical, but he was in the middle of having an episode. Since it can't cure the virus, it doesn't matter if he's continuing to take damage from it while an Android is pummeling his face in.
As for the future timeline, he caught the virus and died. Shenron can't revive him after that, so you're making the leap that he caught the virus and held on long enough for them to gather the Dragon Balls without the sole teleporter's help.

But the Senzu ended up making it worse anyway...so it didn't matter.
We don't know how fast Karrot died, at their very best effort...the Z-warriors "could" find the dragon balls within a day even without his help. But maybe he died the very day they found out he had the virus, which means they had no time.

Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.It took more than one day to Goku to find them when he had the ability to teleport anywhere on Earth that he could find a ki signature. The group's flight travel time is actually not very fast, Goku wouldn't need to die in the same day to be beyond the Dragon Ball's reach.
Especially when they can't even identify the illness or its severity.

His style of teleportation isn't that useful for trying to find lifeless rocks when they can literally be "anywhere"...so yeah, that's not really a factor I'd rely on.
Supreme Kai's would be much more useful.

Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.It's incredibly useful. Goku can sense a human-sized ki across the planet, and teleport from one end to the other. By using the Dragon Radar, he can at the very least get far closer to the ball than anyone with flight.
Kai Kai (Kibito/Kibitoshin's ability) would just be cheating.

He can travel faster, but if there's no life anywhere close around a particular dragon ball, it may just be faster to fly.
He's just lucky Dinosaurs still exist, being awesome and convenient.

You need only to look into the various DB forums and even this very forum to realize this.
