^_^ This might be Goku at his most savage, but, still.
Sorry, my headcanon now is that Zamasu gets sh't from everyone, even himself
.
Zamasu isn't Yamcha, he's Krillin-he dies all the time. To wit:
- Present Zamasu gets Control Z'd by Beerus
- Goku Black commits technical suicide by killing his old body with Goku's mind in it
- Goku Black essentially dies by fusing with Future Zamasu since it's a completely new entity, especially when Merged Zamasu starts mutating
- Future Zamasu essentially dies by fusing with Goku Black since it's a completely new entity
- Merged Zamasu is mentally and physically killed by Future Trunks, before his soul is obliterated by Zen'o...we can only hope
- In the new Future Trunks timeline Beerus kills the Goku Black there, and that timeline's Zamasu is sealed up
I'm not totally sure I agree with Masako here. The truth is, whatever the Spirit Bomb / Genki Dama was supposed to be, it was just a tool meant to fail to create more drama. The writing is on the wall: both times it was used before the Buu saga, it failed. And then, like the Kaioken, it was abandoned once the new hotness of Super Saiyan came along.
Which is a shame, because the concept of taking ki from other things was a pretty interesting concept. If Toriyama himself had considered the idea that Movie 7 used (absorbing the power to increase your own strength) there could have been a whole new way to use that energy since the bomb nearly always missed.
That being said, there are few things I'd trade the Planet Powered Spirit Bomb in the Buu Saga for. It was a great moment, even if it was born entirely out of his decision to completely cut Gohan out of the fight.
One Strip! One Strip!Oooh I wouldn't trade it for anything else too even if Gohan did get the shaft. Especially as I watched the scene somewhat recently.
The climax between the final battle of Majin Buu, Goku entering an epic struggle with Kid Buu, being repowered by the D-Balls to go SSJ just in time, everyone cheering him on with all their hearts, Goku's summarization of Majin Buu's character & why he needs to be punished for his evil, the SSJ 3 theme playing, saying adios to Kid till they meet again & for being the first time the Spirit Bomb actually kills someone, made for a great finale to everything.
It gives me the warm fuzzies thinking about it.
Well I guess it's because it was hyped up as the greatest attack ever, but Vegeta stopped it before Goku could use it, then jumped over it, and then when it did hit him, he still had plenty of gas in the tank. At that point, if not for Gohan regrowing his tail, they'd have lost.
Toriyama yanked our chains a bit too much with that one.
One Strip! One Strip!That's because the Vegeta fight took many things for them to win, and couldn't have been done without removing those elements.
Vegeta may have had a lot of gas left in the tank after the Spirit Bomb... but that's because his tank is ridiculous. He took a huge amount of damage from it, but he's also able of taking insane amounts of damage and just keep trucking.
Hell, Vegeta notes that the damage is why he doesn't just beat up Oozaru Gohan - at his regular power he's more than 10x stronger than Gohan, so Oozaru normally wouldn't do jack.
What I find interesting is that the movies (which aren't canon, I know) took the exact opposite approach. In those, the Spirit Bomb was basically Goku's trump card, either to finish someone off or to One-Hit Kill an otherwise vastly superior foe. Dr. Wheelo, Turles, Lord Slug and Super Android 13 all met their demise this way.
No beer?! But if there's no beer, then there's no beef or beans!As already said, that's an incredibly good idea, and it should have happened. The same for ![]()

I'm really annoyed at how a lot of cool techniques seemed to only exist to fail, or never be used to their full potential.
Then again, as far back as Goku match against Jackie Chun it was shown that sometimes, simpler ideas beat fancy techniques. For all the tricks Chun busted out, in the end he beat Goku with simple physics via a kick to the face. Perhaps Toriyama was just applying that to later techniques.
One Strip! One Strip!The thing about the Spirit Bomb is that the version everyone knows is the massive ones used on Freeza and Buu, which are unnaturally huge and powerful because of the amount of energy needed. I think the "proper" version is the one handed one that he's used to kill in movies.
A lazy millennial who's good at what he does.I'm fairly sure that, yeah, the Spirit Bomb's 'original' form is the one handed one and the big one is what happens when you go beyond the recommended settings. Or, you might say, when you go even further beyond.

That was just Gowasu making faulty assumptions based on Goku being able to fight Beerus.
