Anyway, reading the episode 109 spoilers again it seems likely that Jiren will get rid of Ribrianne before starting his fight with Goku.

I've said this before, but I'll consider this transformation meaningful if and when Goku is acknowledged to have surpassed Beerus. Or, hell, even just any God of Destruction.

It would have to do that to break any new barriers. Part of the reason God and Blue fell flat were because it never felt like Goku surpassed any new limits.

He lost to Beerus, and stayed behind Beerus even after getting Blue and stacking Kaioken on it.

But then the question goes, where do we go from there? Surpassing the gods themselves is pretty over the top already.

Hey there's still four other universes out there. Surpassing Beerus might only be a milestone compared to the other Go Ds.

Welp, Kaioken is out again. I suppose it was inevitable.

Maybe it will come back in the next Dragon Ball series.

In hindsight, it probably shouldn't. It was fun to see Goku finally using it again, after abandoning it post Namek (and that they finally gave a reason for why he stopped using it, outside of the meta reason of Super Saiyan is better), but he still can't go higher than X20, and as is the case with Dragonball, Power Creep, Power Seep ensures that that's simply not good enough. It's also useless to anyone else, so it should probably just be retired. T'is a shame, but that's what happens when characters get strong enough to destroy a planet...and then keep getting even more powerful.

Why did they bother to censor Slug's crotch?

@Saiga I came up with 30 times because we know the fusion multiplier has to be much stronger than 8 times, at minimum. SS3 Goku < Super Buu < Ultimate Gohan < Buuhan < SS1 Vegetto.

Not to interrupt this talk of Slug's hypothetical dong, but with the Nintendo Switch version of Xenoverse 2 out in Japan now, I figure it's a good time to ask.

Is any of the content for the Switch version pre-order-exclusive, like Goku Black and the Tao Pai Pai pillar were for the other versions? I've heard conflicting reports regarding the first game's story and having all characters unlocked from the start.

Namekian schlongs can stretch themselves to improbable lengths. Great when you need to attack someone, but you have no arms.

Goku tried out Blue Kaioken x20 on Jiren, but it has no effect on him.

Not to be a downer, but that'd probably be more awing if Super Saiyan Blue didn't lose almost all the time and Goku didn't have a habit of throwing his strongest power at a villain only to lose and then break out a new form later.

So...saw that it wasn't brought up on the day, but May 27 of this year marks the 10-year anniversary of ZARD lead singer Izumi Sakai's death. She was the one who wrote the lyrics to GT's opening in Japan, as well as some of the music used in Slam Dunk and Case Closed.

A preview of the 10th ending song, "By a 70 cm Square Window" by Rotten Graffty.

It will premier for the hour-long special.

[up][up][up] I mean, that's always been how Dragon Ball does things. And to be fair, Blue might be underwhelming, but combining it with Kaioken always made it seem strong.

...

The manga has Blue as quite overwhelming versus anything but other Blue users, and explicity inferior to Beerus.

Blame Toei.
