Nothing of how the Senzu were used suggest that they can't restore limbs. I mean, Goku's bones were powder and they were instantly restored.

Right, smaller case would be something like the Legion of Super Heroe. Relatively speaking anyway.

At the very least, it sounds like they have enough members to fill all ten slots for their Universe's team.

I believe the Legion are more similar to the Pride Troopers as their members rely on their individual powers and abilities compared to the Green Lanterns & Nova's who primarily use specific equipment. The Pride Troopers seem to be a their own powers kinda guys.

I hope Jiren is the more serious type. I mean its always fun seeing the differences between Japanese & American superhero's as the Pride Trooper's are Sentai types where they always loudly announce themselves with colorful titles & flamboyant poses. American heroes such as the Green Lantern would be content just to say "Were here" or the "The Green Lantern Corps are here." & standing straight imposingly as the like keeping things simple. I hope Jiren is a more American hero.

We haven't seen much of Jiren, but the opening, yesterday episode and Heroes seems to imply he is the serious type compared with this partners.

wild mass guessMaybe Jiren is the Sixth ranger of the Pride Troopers, like, the serious and more powerful of the bunch, but also a loner? wild mass guess

I mean, I don't know much about Sentai, but in power rangers, the sixth ranger and the red ranger, the leader, are usually around the same level, above everyone else.

Eh, depends on the season.

In some, the Sixth Ranger is markedly more powerful than the rest.

In others, the Sixth Ranger starts markedly more powerful, but then doesn't receive the mid-season upgrade the other rangers get, which puts all the rangers on the same level or leaves the Sixth Ranger in the dust.

Then again, there's also that trend where the Sixth Ranger first shows up with Super Speed and then never uses it again...

It's kind of amusing to think that Champa's universe has a higher rank than Beerus'. He finally surpasses him in at least one area

I want Jiren to be the most obvious Superman expy ever, down to having the same personality and voice actor.

I'm pretty sure that you can't have the same kind of character with the same voice actor.

At least, I've heard at least one voice actor say that he was legally not allowed to play a character that was an expy of a character he played in another series.

From little we've seen of Jiren does he appear Superman-ish?

I mean aside from his immense power & being superhero does he have some similarity at least a little?

This only raises the question: which Japanese actors have voiced Superman over the years?

[up][up][up][up]The best two are, unquestionably, Tim Daly and George Newbern, though.

I'm pretty sure that you can't have the same kind of character with the same voice actor.

Yes you can, they just won't be allowed to use "that" voice...of the character an expy is based on.

He actually has used his Sephiroth voice for Superman at least once.

[up] Man that is a good movie.

Goku ain't got shit on Big Blue. tongue

I hope when the dub reaches this arc they go all out on the voices. Give them distinctive sound s& accents & such. Like giving the Trio de Dangers different forms of Southern accents.

On the other hand, whenever Marvel has had the Squadron Sinister/Supreme animated, they've used VA's that have voiced their Justice League counterparts.

Same for Moon Knight, who was voiced by the guy who had voiced Batman in The Brave and the Bold.

Which, I mean, does kind of make sense, from a pure logistics perspective. Constantly building up energy at a much higher rate than a normal person would make your Power Level constantly increase, going by Dragon Ball logic. And it's not like the 'how can machines get stronger' argument holds water, given that they were previously stated to be mostly human and just recently stated to be altered on the cellular level. The only explanation needed for why 18 didn't help out in earlier arcs is that she was unaware of this power bubbling up inside her.
