Guys, I need to know: Does Dragon Ball Heroes or Fusions have a fusion between Super Saiyan Blue and Supe Saiyan 4?

Right before blowing himself up what did Buu mean to Gohan when he said "Your missing the point"?

Gohan was still telling him that fighting back was pointless and didn't put two and two together until Buu said that.

Gohan basically just thought he was trying to power up further to match Gohan's power. When Buu said "You're missing the point", Gohan realized Buu was self-destructing.

You know what'd be hilarious? If Goku never got to fight in the tournament at all because his teammates kept winning their matches.

I actually prefer The Anime's version of Frost and him using underhanded tactics made more sense there.

Plus while he's a bad guy, he's clearly not the same type of bad guy as Freeza. They clearly go about their business very differently.

@Zelenal: I doubt that.

Eh. I think manga!Frost was better. The Un-Twist was just kind of annoying,

Again I hope he gets a turn. Sure he's an asshole but its not like a good portion of the cast wasn't a humongous jackass at one point or another.

I mean hopefully his appearance in the OP is a sign of something greater.

Yeah, literally everyone Goku is friends with, barring Roshi and his family, was once a massive dick.

Or in the cases of a few of them, still are dicks.

Remember that time Bulma forced a favour out of Jaco by threatening to send Vegeta to the Galactic Patrol?

Ignoring that Jaco is no saint himself (and that Vegeta would have never bothered with such a thing), not exactly a nice thing to do now is it?

...What with all the nonconsensual groping it's kinda really bad when Roshi's part of our moral baseline.

There is not much stopping Frost from being redeemed as he has done nothing objectively worse than whatever a lot of the cast did. I mean he & Vegeta pretty much had the same job, the only difference is that Frost relied on trickery while Vegeta brute forced his way into the conquering of planets.

It also helps that he has not personally slighted Goku too much. Of course he hates Frieza, dude brutalized his friends, son & murdered his best friend in what he thought was forever. Frost just cheated which isn't that bad.

A member of Frieza's race that is actually a decent person.

That's really all there is too it. Hell even Frieza's Va wants to voice a good-guy version of him. Its like wanting a heroic version of Lex Luthor. Having a good-guy version of a longstanding villain is just spontaneously cool. The reverse is the same, the Crime Syndicate are literally evil versions of the Justice League & their cool for that reason alone. In Batman The Brave & The Bold, the Red-Hood from another universe is pretty much good-guy Joker & he was awesome.

I mean, Roshi is one of the relatively few people who never tried to kill/hurt Goku when they first met.

He also has the honour of being one of the few characters in the series to beat Goku in a straight up fight and never lose a rematch.

Everyone else who followed him on the former (Tao, Tambourine, Piccolo) promptly failed at the latter.

Of course, the reason Roshi never lost a rematch with Goku is because they never had one, but still.

Well if he couldn't beat Tien...he wasn't gonna beat Karrot.

That instrument guy doesn't count though...that was just another Yamucha situation.

Had they met for Roshi's intended rematch with Goku, Roshi would've lost.

[up]There is a non-zero % probability of Roshi winning anyway - he knows all of Goku's moves better than Goku does, after all, and the power difference was not large enough to negate the humongous gap in skill.

I wonder if Goku even now sometimes wonders what happened to Jackie Chun and if they'll ever get their rematch.

If he remembers, he's probably wondering if Jackie Chun kept up with his training unlike his loser friends who all stopped training except Tien.
