Wow, who would have thought that Hatchiyack: Nocturne Featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry series would have been this effective?

Also Vegeta won't get Ultra Instinct. Goku will get another power-up and then Vegeta will get that.

Well, Goku already has the 20xKaioken Blue on Vegeta, so Vegeta's due to catch up.

The Anime likes to pretend Vegeta can still match him despite that

Which of all the things in Super that could be seen as inconsistent, that always just struck me as the most blatant.

I love how King Kai tells Goku that using the Rasenshuriken Blue and Kaioken together will destroy his body and render him unable to fight ever again.

And then that just stops being a thing he has to worry about.

It was fine in the Future Trunks arc because they were still going with "Goku shouldn't use Kaioken because he messed up his body so much last time". Of course, he's been using it willy-nilly in this arc, but I don't think they've treated him as equal with Vegeta for a while. Everyone has been singling Goku out as Universe 7's ace and targeting him.

It'll be surprising if Hatchiyak: The Squeakquel actually eliminates more than one person.

If I'm not mistaken, the current standings against Universe 7 are one elimination from 6, a mutual elimination from 2, one drop-out, and an elimination from 4. No universe has gotten two KO's on Universe 7 unless you attribute Roshi's elimination to Frost.

Same thing happened with the Vanilla Kaioken back in Z as well. King Kai kept pleading with Goku not to push it past x3 or whathaveyou, but Goku kept upping the ante.

The only time his body really showed repercussions from overusing it was in his fight against Vegeta.

Well, after that, all his high intensity gravity training let him use it up to 10 with no problems. When he had to go to 20 against Frieza and that didn't work he was basically in the same position he was against Vegeta. And then he just stopped using hit because he had something blatantly better to use.

Yeah, but there he had senzu beans to fix the damage to his body and actually did mess up his body a lot, albeit offscreen while traveling to Namek.

The issue there wasn't that he'd mess up his ki so bad that he'd never be able to use it again.

Actually I think Goku mentioned when fighting Hit that he hadn't perfected the Blue Kaioken technique yet, so I guess we're supposed to assume he figured out how to make it work better at some point.

Huh so Vegeta's gonna hold the line.

Hmmh I can get by that, especially since its more respectable then him charging in a vain attempt at unlocking UI.

Did ya know that Beerus' Japanese VA used to do Donkey Kong in the JP dub of the cartoon? Here he is singing the opening theme with Diddy's JP VA, aka Jessie from Pokemon.

A question:

Are the Pride Trooper's & Kamikaze Fireball's complete lack of creativity in their attack names supposed to be part of the parody?

Which names? The team name or the member's names? Because all the people in every group in Dragon Ball tend to have lazy pun names.

EDIT: Oh, the attack names. Yes, definitely.

So, we're all expected Vegeta to get bodied by Jiren, right?

In an ironic twist, Vegeta actually bodies Jiren.
