Super Saiyan looks the way it does because Toriyama wanted to save time on inking in Goku's hair.

I totally believe that other transformations exist for similarly simple reasons.

@LSBK, relating to this: Wholeheartedly agree. The way UI Goku dispatched their fusion, and how they defused moments later in the stand, was done perfectly if anyone really wanted to see them humiliated. note 

[down] Ooooh booy, you're telegraphing the script better than the mouse G.O.D. himself.[lol]

Libby's whole universe is just unlikable. Fortunately they should lose soon.

Also I haven't seen him this episode but Quitela is awfully smug for a guy who basically has no way to win this.

Seriously, why aren't U2 being called out on their cheating? At least have Zenoh say 'it's cool!' and allow it or something.

The same could be said for many a Dragon Ball character. tongue

Funny thing is that Jerry's secret hidden warriors received a good deal of hype from Tohei.

Obviously they ended up being complete anti-climax bosses.

Yeah, but Quitela was smug even when he should have realized his "trump cards" wouldn't work. It just makes him look really stupid.

He truly is the anti-Jerry.

Ironic in that Beerus is a dumbass too yet he still came out on top.

Also, why are all the angels such dicks? The only one who seems even halfway decent is, what, the loli? And they don't even do anything to stop, support or influence the god they oversee. Why are they even here?

Wait, is that one Namekian Lancer?

They serve as transport, servants, martial arts teachers and advisors, basically. The Hakaishin just ignore them because the angels are subservient to them and there are no consequences to ignoring their advice. They do step in when their Hakaishin fight each other though. Why they don't do everything themselves is a mystery that Super may or may not address.

#74062: Jan 1st 2018 at 11:05:26 PM

I feel like the servant and advice parts are optional. You could see that U9 angel just floating around totally ignoring his charge before they were erased. When they were gone his reaction was 'finally they shut up.'

[up] Granted, like you implied, it's a case by case instance with an angel's tolerance level and their G.O.D's behavior. Champa's a piece of work, but even Vados decided to respectfully say her farewell with a bow (well, after she joked about ditching him once his goose was cooked).

Not to mention, despite remaining mostly blase, Whis definitely care about Beerus and his overseeing universe. He wouldn't explode with happiness as much as he did upon seeing his teaching work out through Goku's Ultra Instinct.

Yeah the amount of care varies by Angel as Cus was genuinely sad when she lost her God & Vados payed her final respects.

It really is odd in how limited they are in influencing their God though.

Also, I know how I want this to end, I think. Frieza and Vegeta get mutual knock outs against Dyspo and Toppo or something. Gohan is left a bleeding pile on the ground but not ringed out. Goku gets all geared up to fight Jiren and goes UI, but when the final clash starts he immediately drops it and lets his head get blown off, disqualifying Jiren via fatality.

Would be hilarious. U7 wins by making someone else break the rules and then the only survivor is a half dead unconscious guy.

And they can just use the Dragon Balls to bring them back! A perfect ending!

Thing is, that's the only reasonable wish to be made, but it also makes the entire arc basically pointless. But maybe if a year later they get the Super Dragon Balls and kill all the gods who suck at their jobs it'd be okay. I include Zenoh in that, of course.

What I'm not lying.

I like the cat as much as the next guy but I ain't gonna sugarcoat the fact that he is a brutish glutton only concerned with stuffing his face & taking catnaps.

There is a reason why he is the second worst God & Sidra is only lower cause of moral reasons.
