[up][up] Maybe he had to be sealed away or something. A guy stronger than God of Destruction could be catastrophically dangerous if he was evil after all.

What if one of the bugs IS the strongest warrior, and the reason something terrible happens during the Goku vs Jiren climax is beacause one of the bugs accidentally used a full power explosion, decimating not just the entire arena but also the stands where the gods, angels and Zeno are.

And then Goku will figure out how to save the day somehow. tongue

Another thing from the new Manga chapter: They changed the exhibition match to feature the Gods of Destructions duking it out, instead of their universe's representatives... So we have Goku as a watcher along with the Kaiohshins. And don't you know it, EVERYONE gangs up on Beerus.

Also what the heck, Vermoud having a clown harem. o_o

I kind of like the idea of Mona being the strongest competitor in the arena by a wide margin, just because of how unexpected it would be. Having a goofy looking character with literally no hype whatsoever suddenly be revealed to be the foreshadowed Mortal Stronger Than Beerus would be a wacky and fun twist.

Kinda amazed at how Beerus is managing to hold off ALL the other Gods of Destruction ganging up on him in the current manga chapter. I mean, wow.

BUT, I guess this means we don't get a speech from the Trio de Dangers berating Goku in the manga now. :(

...Well, he is still kinda responsible, but I gotta admit, I don't miss that little detail. Especially with how little he seems to actually care.

From what I heard the manga added a scene where the Zenos talk about blowing up all but four universes before Goku arrives there.

Because heaven knows you can't have an arc where the main character actually experiences ideological conflict and is forced to confront their flaws and have an actual character arc where they grow as a person.

#64364: Sep 19th 2017 at 1:41:25 PM

And the anime backed off from that angle pretty quickly, so much so that I'm wondering if it was even intentional to begin with.

The Go D free-for-all was a pleasant change over all though. P.S. Mosco went down like a chump, aha.

Yeah, it was.

We get the exact scene from that preview months ago, by the way, where all the Kaiohshins and Gods of Destruction were bowing down to the Grand Priest and the Zen'os... Except they aren't cloaked or obscured at all. I guess that was done when the designs weren't set in stone yet.

This sounds like a good idea for an arc. Did this happen in Dragon Ball somewhere?

Goku once deliberated whether he should eat Turtle.

A bit late, but I'd actually argue that DB is in fact a series that started with one protagonist but turned into an ensemble piece later on. In the Cell Saga in particular Goku, Vegeta, Trunks, Krillin, and Piccolo all volley around the Main Character Ball several times before it finally stops on Gohan.

If Turtle couldn't talk, Goku's stomach would have doomed the universe.

Goku wants to eat Turtle -> Turtle can't tell Goku why he shouldn't eat it. -> Goku eats Turtle. -> They follow the Dragon Radar to Roshi's island. -> Roshi finds out that Goku ate Turtle. -> It is very unlikely that Roshi will train Goku or help him in any way after Goku ate his only friend. -> No Turtle training -> No friendship with Krillin -> Freeza wins.

When do you think we'll get an official multiplier for Super Saiyan Blue? Since Goku can still use SSJ 1-3, all we know is that its higher than x400

I don't think we'll ever get an official multiplier for the God forms. Most estimates place them in the high single-digit thousands to low double-digit thousands, though.

[up][up] This is pure speculation/head-canon. But I always felt that there wasn't any multiplier when it came to god ki. It just removed limitations of a mortal form. So Goku and Vegeta are still the same power level as their base and super forms, but they are able to do more with that power than they could ever do because their working with it on the godly plane of existence. Similar to how SS 3 is practically useless when used as a living being.
