[up] The perfect middle ground. Besides, Gohan Blanco isn't gonna dye itself.

@Rinsankajugin: I'm really glad they're just calling him " Broly Dark". Anyways, I'm giving the win to Goku. An opponent's direct raw power doesn't seem to an issue with a defensive UI Goku, and sporadic fire only grazed him at most. Really, Goku just has to worry, or not worry, about his damage output.

[down] I'm sure Goten would appreciate knowing that The Great Saiyaman isn't "as lame" as he's grown to consider.

With the way the Tournament's episodes have been plotted so far, I'm assuming that either both of the Androids are going to get knocked out next episode, or one is going to go and the other is going to stick around for a few more episodes (and possibly have that episode with Universe 3).

I wonder, could Ultra Instinct Goku take on Broken Mask Full Power Berserker Legendary Super Saiyan 4 Dark Dragon Ball Time Breaker Broly?

I've been thinking Gohan might get a shot at Dyspo since Toppo's being played up as Vegeta's main opponent, Frieza's kindof had his main foe, and the androids have plenty of magical girls and robots to pick from.

Bringing up a point from earlier, about the main characters needing a reshuffle, I'd be more okay with Vegeta and Goku in the forefront if we could also get a third character to join them for more than just an arc, Since Goku has had focus since day one and Vegeta had focus in Z, I feel we could use a character that's the face of Super. This was a big Problem with GT which really should have put more focus on Ubb and Pan. I don't know who they could go with here though, Gohan got alot of focus in Z too so he wouldn't really help set super apart. Bringing back Future Trunks as a main character would be nice, but after sending him off I wonder if they'd even be able to bring him back in without it being weird. Hit and the U6 Saiyans seem like the best options right now, but I don't see any of them hanging out with Goku and Vegeta unless U6 is merged with U7.

Honestly, phasing Vegeta out wouldn't be so bad. Because his only role right now is simply lagging behind Goku.

It'd be really cool if Vegeta went to U6 a few arcs and came back with Ssj 4. The Fandom reaction would be priceless

If it's good enough for everyone else...[lol]

I mean, if they didn't want characters to lag behind Goku, then they wouldn't have other characters be so far behind Goku that they flat out lampshade it.

Vegeta, like everyone else, is exactly where Toriyama wants him to be.

That being said, while they are all behind him in power to varying degrees, they far surpass him in development for the most part. The only thing about Goku that's changed since he first got hit by Bulma's car is that he's more of a fight junkie than he used to be.

[up] He's changed in a few other ways, for one his rudeness has been dialed back to just being super casual with everyone, and even then he's made efforts to correct himself whenever he's corrected by King Kai or Beerus. His fight with Beerus seems to have mellowed him out in some ways too, either that or he's just getting old. I wouldn't say he's the most change, but he's developed just as much as Bulma and Roshi have.

I'll also say that Vegeta's kindof earned his place as a mainstay, and we need a straight man for Goku's antics. His background role in most of the GT arcs felt really off to me, so I don't think I'd like him leaving the spotlight.

That's because people are so used to Vegeta being Goku's biggest rival...even though that hasn't been relevant for how long? So it's even weirder they present him as such, even though he's supposed to have grown past it.

Its not even like I'm saying they should just throw Vegeta to the side, but seeing him still trying to compete with Goku (and fail at it) isn't really anything new or unique because it's something we've seen before.

Vegeta's best moments from Super have come from when he isn't trying to compete with Goku and actually doing his own thing, but since Super loves to wank nostalgia, Vegeta's still suck as second banana to Goku even though his character should have moved beyond that.

I don't mind him being Goku's main Foil, but let Goku fight and compete against other rivals and let Vegeta do something else. Hell, an arc that separates the two and they have parallel journeys sounds way more interesting.

I suppose he is slightly less rude, though he still doesn't really listen to what others say (especially if it means not getting a fight now).

Yeah, at the end of the Buu Arc, Vegeta's like "Oh, I guess he's better after all, but that's okay."

I don't mind him still trying to stay strong and not getting complacent, but his competitiveness with Goku is kinda just old hat at this point.

Eh. Vegeta and Toppo calling each other "second strings" wouldn't be quite as funny if Vegeta didn't still have a small chip on his shoulder. If he'd taken that in stride it just wouldn't be the same.

Be careful what you wish for, Vegeta gets over his competitiveness but then strikes up a new rivalry... with Pan.

Well if Gohan is going to have a little girl who turns Super Saiyan in the womb, clearly Vegeta has to make sure that Trunks has a little girl who can somehow turn Super Saiyan before the egg is even properly fertilized.

Better yet he instigates a new rivalry with Gohan/Goku over who has the cutest female Saiyan family member. tongue

[up] Well he can always kick his son in the dick, that might help.

No, wait, they're onto something.

The Zenkai that Trunks' daughter would receive from her father being kicked in the dick by Vegeta and living to tell about it. Think about that. If her sperm cell survives that, she'd probably receive a massive boost in power. Near-fatal injuries pushed Goku up like, what, some hundred thousand units?
