Unreasonably Quirky
#62251: Aug 7th 2017 at 11:09:50 AM

I hate to butt in, and I can't really comment on anything here since I prefer to avoid spoilers, but I'm getting close to finishing the first chapter of a DBS fanfic I'm writing. It'll be a retelling of how the Trio de Dangers managed to assemble a full team for Universe 9 in the last remaining hours until the tournament. Would anyone be interested in taking a look at what I have?

[down] Ah, okay, I'll go there. Sorry about that.

I thought they managed to gather up a team by recruiting villains until I saw their actual performance in the tournament, which jossed that theory with how heavily they showed that Dark Is Not Evil.

To be fair, they certainly had the look. Though given how mishandled Universe 9 was, I wouldn't be surprised if they were scraping the bottom of the barrel, so to speak.

Why are all ten of U7's strongest people, bar the one they grabbed from the afterlife, Earth-based?

Universe 7 sucks outside of Earth. With Frieza and Beerus going around that's not really that hard to believe.

Because Frieza, the Saiyans, and Buu have done a fine job of wiping out a good chunk of Universe 7's habitable planets and species.

They couldn't, like, go with some of the races seen in the anime Afterlife Tournement? There were some very strong guys there from a lot of different species, who presumably would still have strong people that are, y'know, still alive.

I really liked that arc.

I think they actually brought this up when discussing who to fill out the team with. Shin says he can't think of any warriors on other planets who possess the kind of powers the Tournament would require, and even if some did exist, it would take too long to track them down.

They were lazy. Beerus basically lets goku make the team cuz no one else matters anyway but goku and maybe vegeta.

I found Olibu one of the most interesting characters in that arc, largely due to the fact that he's by far the strongest pure-blooded human seen in the franchise. He gave a good fight to a guy stronger than Cell!

And then was beaten by Yamcha. If you include some of the Otherworld filler, you have to include the rest of it as well.

Basically the same argument that disqualifies Pikkon — the Otherworld arc was filler.

You can kind of assume that Freeza likekly killed all the strong fighters in the Universe that wouldn't pledge loyalty to him.

[up][up] Which is rather sad cause Pikkon was pretty cool.

They didn't really think too outside the box in gathering members aside from Frieza.

Frieza, the Saiyan's working under Frieza, Buu, and of course, Beerus himself likely killed a lot of strong fighters.

Also kind of goes to illustrate why Universe 7 has such low mortal level. The other Kais and their Gods of Destructions seemed more active in seeking out fighters personally. Shin and Beerus just left it to Goku since they've been so hands off they have no idea who to possibly recruit.

It really goes to show ya why being a lazy fuck is a bad thing.

Beerus in the grand scheme of things truly is an incompetant boob.

Also how small U7 is really lends credidence to the arc ending with a wish to merge all the universes into one mega universe to refill the setting with all kinds if unforseen dangers & unpredictable threats for future adventures.

I mean, both Beerus and Shin already know that Goku is already the strongest warrior in Universe 7, so there's reason to search outside of Earth for the Universe's best fighters since they're all conveniently located on Earth :V

They don't, but I think Shin himself mentions that they don't have a lot of options open to them, and just let Goku do his thing.

Can't the Kais like, teleport everywhere in their jurisdiction, though?
