Frieza has Beerus by the balls. If Beerus steps in to erase him for being a sneaky SOB, Zeno will erase him for breaking the rules

I wonder if the angels are capable of reversing time when it comes to Zen'o

Speaking of parodies, do you guys think of the Abridged series references in Super? Do you guys like what they did with the characterization,plot, etc.? I know I don't.

If Zen'o erases a universe, could an angel wind back time three minutes and give it a second chance, however slim, to survive?

She took his money, then lied about what happened so he'd do something he doesn't want to to make more money when it's completely unnessecary.

That's just completely awful. She's now taking advantage of his naievety and getting in the way of his happiness.

Yeah, when you stop and think about it, Chi Chi is kind of the worst. If it wasn't for Goku being so easy going and tolerant as he is, that marriage would have failed long ago. No one but Goku would be able to stand her for long.

Saiyans like aggressive woman, right? Maybe Goku, Gohan and Goten finds Chi Chi's behavior endearing, even though they don't like what she's forcing them to do. I mean, the actual explanation is that Toei and Toriyama handled her character like it was a leprosy-ridden corpse, but for anyone wanting to to justify their relationship in-universe, there you go. Of course, you'd still have to ignore Gine and Tarble, but that's easy.

The funny part about the whole thing is that I don't think anyone in Japan finds Chi-Chi's behavior problematic. You'd think we'd have heard something about her over there, but nope.

People here really seem to dislike her...

Guess Henpecked Husband is nice comedy. I disagree, it is a horrible stereotype, but oh well, Japan gotta be sexist.

If you think about it, Chichi's a joke character whos status as gokus wife forced her into overstaying her welcome. Somehow I feel this wouldn't have happened to launch had she stuck around, since theres atleast more you can do with her gimmick. But with Chichi, her gag isn't as obviously a gag, and it's not helped by the english dub which makes her sound like we're supposed to take her seriously.

So Chi Chi and Goku were meant to be a sitcom couple huh? Unfortunately, the "joke" got lost on many people and it made Chi Chi more unsympathectic than she actually is. It is similar to Ranma 1/2's Akane and Love Hina's Naru in that they are both tsunderes but they had their negative traits dialed up to eleven and the "joke" got lost on Western audiences due to dubbing.

Just read the recent chapter of Super.

It does do a better job of making Goku not seemingly to blame for the the universes being in danger of being erased (Zen-O was literally about to do it when he showed up), and apparently, Beerus has a lot of enemies among the gods of destruction already, with this just adding to the fire.

He also does a damned good job of fighting them all off.

Gine and Tarble are explicitly out of the norm for Saiyans. The existence of outliers does not delegitimize trends and patterens.

Well, Japanese culture is more xenophobic, sexist and classist than most European and American ones. Ask Koreans in Japan for example. However, it is not like xenophobia, sexism and classism aren't ingrained in the west either. And we may run into the tolerance paradox.

[up][up][up] The problem with that is that it doesn't explain Future Trunks' timeline, or if the second Future Trunks' timeline will continue to be spared by Zen-Oh.

The existence of future Zeno causes the present Zeno to actually think about the number of universes.

That's also possible.

It might be that it was one of those I should do it one of these days things for Zen-O.

He just never got around to it (and then Zamasu beat him to the punch anyway)
