Saiga Since: Feb, 2011 Relationship Status: Getting away with murder

In universe, it's just really hard to learn. The Saiyans probably have the best chance of learning it, but they don't need it after gaining access to Super Saiyan.

Out of universe, the Kaio-ken has such a distinctive and overshadowing visual that giving it to multiple characters would feel homogeneous. Super Saiyan might give several characters the same aesthetic, but with the exception of Trunks they had the same aesthetic in base form anyway (black spiky hair to blonde spiky hair).

But imagine if all the non-Saiyans had Kaio-ken, a red aura plastered over everyone and they all have to deal with activating it whenever they get seriously instead of the much more subtle powering up. It's not like their relevance would have changed.

Also, apparently the alien leader from the second episode of Super actually has a name: Chief Moginaian.

I think it's that guy from the alien race that Beerus wiped out because their dessert was too greasy.

Who wants to see Toppo stomp Goku? Asides from the whole Rooting for the Empire aspect, it'd add a lot of tension by having a fighter that's definitively stronger than the strongest member of Team Universe 7 known (I know Vegeta and Goku are debated on who's stronger, but Kaioken gives the latter the edge)

It makes too much sense that Goku should lose here, so I say Toppo beats him into the ground.

I don't really see any reason to think this Toppa is out of Goku's league. He was scouted to be a God of Destruction (right?), Goku is comparable (if not actually equal to) Gods of Destruction and Whis proposition him about the job too.

But he's not supposed to be the strongest one right?
