To be fair, Super Saiyan 3 let Goku fight against Majin Buu more or less equally in its debut. In Super Saiyan Blue's debut Frieza (at least in Super) utterly kicked the stuffing out of it.

Both Super Saiyan God form were never impressive. Like Ssj 3 Gojira said the God forms have always had a poor track record but that doesn't change the fact that Goku & Vegeta are still stronger than the majority of the cast.

I think UI gave off a feeling of godliness. Unlike SSG and Blue, which just feel like recolors honestly.

UI had the aura of power about it, and it wasn't even anything fancy.

They are literally recolors...

That's just what they is...

Yet they're about as original as the Graded forms and 2.

Even the meme known as Gohan Blanco is just a recolor.

So, if we fused a SSJG, Gohan Blanco, and a SSJB, what would we get?

Ha ha ha. What a story, Mark.

Yeah Ultra Instinct was cool because it felt like Goku actually fought differently.

In terms of pure appearance, Blue Kaioken is still my favorite form of the franchise, I just can't get over how good the contrasting colors in layers look. In terms of presentation in the story itself, however, Ultra Instinct "Omen" takes the cake, with only Goku's first transformation into Super Saiyan on Namek providing any sort of competition.

[up] (2) I like Ultra Instinct but there's something about Goku being all-business that doesn't sit well with me.

Also, for shame Gohan, gotta pick up on the Instant Transmission like Freeza and Caulifla did.

What.

She did what now?

She predicted where Goku was going to Instant Transmission to.

It should be noted that Ultra Instinct hasn't served it's intended purpose yet :V

Oh.

Okay. Beerus did that too. I thought Caulifa learned Instant Transmission just by seeing Goku do it. I know that Cell did it too but something about Caulifa doing it instantly rubs me the wrong way.

I'm still not sure why Goku hasn't bothered teaching the Instant Transmission to anyone else.

I thought Cell learned instant transmission because his genes are stupid hax bullshit?

That was clearly necessitated by the plot, we don't need to repeat that.

It's always baffled me why his evolution let him use everything else, but for some reason excluded teleportation.

Cell should use Cell Jrs to perform the god ritual. It's a free upgrade.

That's not possible. The Saiyan God ritual require 6 righteous heart (pure of heart be damn) & unlike Vegeta, Cell is clearly doesn't have good in him.

Cell can still obtain the god form if he did train though, since that's how Vegeta got his.

Caulifa, who never had a formal training, and knows Goku for half an hour, already figured out how to deal with Instant Transmission. Meanwhile Gohan got his ass kicked by Jimmies. Sucks to be Gohan, I guess.

It should be noted that Ultra Instinct hasn't served it's intended purpose yet :V

Here's hoping that Goku actually beats Jiren.

Cauli really is the daughter Goku never had.

I'm honestly a little sad he got Gohan & Goten for kids instead of her.

False. Gohan Blanco could pull it off as well.
