Well, so much for the whole "what if Goku asks Zeno to not destroy the universes" solution.

The little shit would probably kill Goku for even going against him, even if he's his "friend."

I'd like to say that I totally called Zen-Oh being a dangerous and unpredictable individual first, all the way back when he was first introduced, then again when Goku and him had the meeting where Goku got the Zen-Oh button.

From the looks of the next episode preview, each fight's going to get at least one episode devoted to it. Makes me kind of worried for how the arc will be paced.

[down][down]

It being just an exhibition makes it more worrying for me TBH. If the show will spend that much time on a fight that's mostly inconsequential to the tournament itself (Unless the Zeno's decide to kill somce Universe 9 fighters) it makes me worry how for fights in the actual tournament will be paced.

(Not to imply that a fight having an episode dedicated to it will automatically mean it's poorly paced though)

[up]×2

Jumping to conclusion there buddy, especially since the fight against the Trio is an exhibition.

@Hard Core Fakes: Goku was going to do that, but Whis adviced against it.

[up][up][up]Plus from the looks of it, most of the fight will be entirely of Basil kicking Buu's ass and Buu just tanking everything like it was nothing and basically treating the whole thing like a game.

[up]x4

I mean, c'mon. This guy's specialty is kicking.

How much can he possibly do to Majin Buu? Buu can literally turn this guy into food any time he wants, has insane regeneration, etc.

...And the wolf is really good at kicking. Fantastic.

#51762: Feb 11th 2017 at 6:46:53 PM

[up]You haven't watched the episode.

And again, going by the preview, it's not all he can do and he's even seen parrying Buu's energy attacks.

Again, watch the episode first. Also, Dragon Ball has taught us never to judge a fighter by appearance.

Vegeta: Why don't you ask your son to join the tournament?

Goku: Could be dangerous, and he's just a boy...

-Sudden realization-

Goku: Oh yeah, Gohan exists.

[lol][lol][lol]

How does a father forget he has two sons?

I enjoy Goku's oblivious dickery. This is kind of how he was in the original Dragon Ball. So this is closer to what I expected Kid Goku to grow up into.

[up][up]Except I have watched it.

And I'm going off of what we know about Basil. It was mentioned that he specializes in kicking, but that's not something that could help him much against Buu.

And parrying attacks is fine, but apparently it's not something important enough to make note of.

He's going to have to defeat a being with near perfect regenerative properties, and that's ignoring his other techniques.

Heh I gotta say these guys are lucky there just facing Fat Buu. Cause I know Fatso's pretty strong but damn if there not lucky that its not Super or Kid Buu fighting. tongue

I like how Gohan was like "Dad, what the fuck!?"

Pretty neat episode...I actually kind felt a bit unease with how lax Goku is about potentially getting his universe destroyed.

I feel like these exhibitions are a case of Author Saving Throw given Gohan and Buu's lack of performance in the Universe 6 arc.

A lazy millennial who's good at what he does.

Remember how the episode that mostly focused on Goku vs Frost had a preview that was all about Goku vs Botamo? Or how the episode that was almost entirely Vegeta vs Magetta had a preview that was nothing but hyping up the Single-Stroke Battle that was Vegeta vs Frost?

I mean on the upside, Goku cares more about Goten's safety than he ever did Gohan's.

Also I am noticing that Super has recently been trying to give Goten more screentime and personality. Makes me think they're planning something with him.

I mean Gohan's already an adult & has proven to be potentially stronger than Goku. Goten is still just a kid & is nowhere near as good so of course Goku would worry more about him.

"And I'm going off of what we know about Basil"

Which is pretty much nothing. We previously didn't know he could transform after all.

[up] It is still different from when Gohan was Goten's age.

I hope Gohan loses his match. Since he knows the real stakes it will be good motivation for him to get back to top form and put in a good showing in the main tournament.

Goku used to care a lot about Gohan's safety. He was really freaked out and pipping mad when Raditz had him hostage. It's just he relaxed a lot once he realized Gohan now could mostly take care of himself.

[up][up] Didn't Gohan already get back to top form though? I mean, three episodes ago he was sparring on equal grounds with Goku.

Knowing what style of fighting he's good at isn't literally nothing.

We also know Bergamo specializes in poisons, I wouldn't call that nothing.

The promotional stuff and in the OP he looks bigger, like he did end of buu saga. Maybe it's just me
