It appears the Beerus Pride Trooper is not a cat like I thought. Someone on 4chan noticed his bunny teeth.

Could he still be a member of Beerus race?

Fleshing out the concept of God ki would have allowed for it to even the playing field if they so desired. Make God ki less of a plot device and have the secondary characters devote time and effort toward gaining it. It's still got problems - it effectively means most of the casts previous development is obseleted - but throwing out the consistency also does that, in a much worse way.

I'd have gone this route, except I'd just have godly ki be anti-Beerus magic. No need to come up with more astronomical, universe-ending power. Just have Goku and others obtain godly ki so that they can actually hit/sense/defend against Beerus and his ilk.

So, I know is sorta pointless, but i'm looking at Super themes.

If GT had: Things from the pasts come back to kill you (Baby revenge against the saiyans, Super 17's past villains coming back, and The Shadow Dragons coming to be due to the constant abuse of the Dragon Balls, and the Pilaf Gang started the whole plot), what would Super themes be?

Beerus: There is always a bigger fish, and the first proper antagonist that is not a monster.

Frieza: Hum, villains back for revenge and it proves he had the potential of being the bigger fish. Introduction of a time power.

Universe 6 arc: Another set of time powers, and another saga without a proper villain.

Zamasu arc: Justice. How the gods work, and a villain that hide behind good intentions. Also, another villain that has a time related power or object (time ring).

Universal Survival arc: Will time be a factor? The Pride Troopers seem to be Hero Antagonist, instead of the usual evil guy, and they are friends of Justice.

So, time and justice. Resurrection F seems to lack a theme (or at least, one that is similar to the other arcs so far.)

The Not-Beerus Pride Trooper definitely has bunny-esque features (larger ears, buck teeth), but it's pretty obvious he's the same species as Beerus and Champa, just a different race within the species.

Theory: Beerus, Champa, and new guy are all a species from one of the universes that Zen-O destroyed and were forced to scatter among the multiverse since their universe had been destroyed because their species was growing too powerful and they couldn't all stay in one place.

Hmm, that prospect wouldn't surprise me. Destroying universes for being too weak, destroying universes for being too strong, Zeno wants a tasty middle ground.

Also, ya know what I find funny?

I'm pretty sure the theme of the Zamasu arc is ningen.

The WMG page below my "Sidra is the strongest God of Destruction" states that Iwen is actually the strongest God of Destruction. Has this been confirmed?

The future Trunks arc was way fun with these memes in 4chan.

Would    Zamas    count as the "Yamcha" of the Kaioshin, or would be that East Kaio? tongue

  • Present Zamasu accomplished nothing and went out like a total b'tch.
  • Zamaku got slapped around by Vegeta despite having all of Goku's power.
  • Zamaku-Zamasu literally cried.
  • And thanks to Zeno, everything Zamasu did was obliterated, along with the rest of creation.
  • And prior to all of this, for all we know Zamasu was basically fetching tea for Gowasu and studying the martial arts, but never really amounted to anything and had to alter reality to gain any status.

Zamasu was supposed to be a fighting prodigy, one of the strongest Kaioshin ever, so there's that.

To be fair, being one of the strongest Kaioshin ever still means he would've been creamed by Buu. Even worse, all he would've achieved would've been to make Buu stronger.

I mean, he was able to do pretty well against Super Saiyan 2 Goku, who Gowasu said was comparable in strength to the Universe 10 G.o.D.

[up][up]Future Zamasu was able to hold up decently (though he did rely on his immortality a lot, admittedly) against SSB Goku, as I recall. I imagine he's powerful enough to beat Buu, or at least not get creamed.

Huh this question popped into my mind after just watching Semi-Perfect Cell absorb 18 in the Abridged version so I gotta ask out of curiosity:

If Goku was in Super Vegeta's place battling Semi-Perfect Cell, would he have done the same & let him absorb 18 to fight his Perfect form? Like would Goku risk the world just for a good fight like Vegeta did?

Before Super, I would have said no... but with how Goku's been acting recently, I'm honestly unsure.

[up]If he did, he would have had a My God, What Have I Done? moment after Krillan calls Goku out and he realizes that Krillan had legitimate feelings for the Android.
