Also, sure Goku is why the tournament is happening but acting like the multiverse getting destroyed is entirely his own fault seems wrong. Considering Zeno is the one who would actually be blowing all the universes up. Zeno will have the biggest kill count, hell Zeno already has the biggest kill count. Future Zeno slightly moreso then present Zeno. These fuckers play marbles with actual god damn planets, destroying them in the process.

Is Goku a dumbass and an asshole for not heeding Beerus's warning? Yes, yes he is. But placing the consequences of this entire event just at his feet is wrong. He does not control Zeno, and he was too much of an idiot to even predict the possibility of universe destruction as a consequence for losing the tournament.

But Zeno is cool, why blame him?

Karrot is the instigator, therefore he is the one at fault.

It's not like I'm not fair; Zeno destroying Trunks` timeline was basically necessary at that point as there was no other way to rid Zamasu.

And Goku had no way of knowing that Zeno would actually destroy worlds as a consequence of losing. He doesn't understand Zeno as nothing more than cool guy to talk to and get things started.

Goku was warned not to take Zen'o lightly, and he did what he always did when an important authority figure told him not to do something:

He ignored them and did exactly what he wanted to do anyway.

In any case, looking at the opening, it's clear that the white alien will be the guy to beat at the tournament. So my question is, on a scale of 1 to Freeza, how badly will Vegeta lose to him to show he's the real deal?

I think Hit is going to be the one who gets beat by him.

Conversely, that guy is actually the true Big Bad and is actively trying to manipulate events so that the entire multiverse is destroyed, posing as a competitor in order to get his plans rolling. Goku is merely softening his up so that someone else will deliver the final blow.

Most likely Vegeta.

I just had a great idea! What if Xenoverse 3's story is solely based off the Universal Survival Saga, but instead of it being a Multiversal Tournament... it's a Omniversal Timespace Tournament, similar to Dragon Ball Fusions?

Like, the two Zeno's appear out of nowhere and ask Chronoa to host such a tournament or else Conton City will be destroyed. So you and 9 other people, either AI, friends or randos, come together to fight other teams of 10 to see who's the winner in all of space and time? You could probably recruit the other team members by time travelling to different places and doing different tasks.

Also the introduction of 10-v-10 battles and team attacks, to make it authentic to the Universal Survival Saga.

10 V 10 Dragon Ball Style fights are ridiculous when they still haven't mastered 3 v 3.

I'd take going back to 1 v 1 in return for a more robust fighting system.

Especially since I don't think the game engine could handle 20 people moving around and fighting on screen at once without either lagging a lot, or crashing in the worst case scenario.

I'm not surprised by this to be honest. What else can one expect from a guy whose never kissed his wife?

They might as well be sex friends that got married.

[up]I think that's what makes this specific action by Goku stand out so much compared to past ones. Goku is increasingly coming off as a character who is not allowed to grow up.

Hit losing to the new guy in the opening would be a classic case of The Worf Effect so I expect it to happen.

Or rather Goku doesn't want to grow up, while even his sons want to. And poor Gohan gets mocked for it.

[up] Lack of Hit makes me think he's avoiding this tournament/Vados can't find him.

It's Dragon Ball, fans only care about in how hard you can punch; it's why Gohan gets mocked. "Education? Fuck that, go out and punch something hard because that's what we wanna see"

Yes, this is consistent with Goku never having kissed his wife. In that both things come off as Super flanderizing Goku to a ridiculous degree.

Except it was in the manga as well, so it was most likely Toriyama's idea...

The original creator can easily be guilty of Flanderization, just look at the Trope Namer. Anyway, this might just go back to the idea that Toryima dislikes the idea of Goku as Superman so much that he's deliberately going in the opposite direction as fast as he can, and some might say, way too far.

How old is he? Cause it kinda made me sad that he doesn't seem to just change as a person a little.

If Vegeta who was a fucking mass murderer becomes a better man than Goku then something is genuinely wrong.

[up]6

Hit is in the opening.

[up]7

Except Hit wouldn't be fighting for Universe 7, so why would he be worfed?

[up]4

A) That was a mistake in translation.

B) Goku has always been Selfish and Naive. If you think otherwise, you are wrong.
