See, I've been thinking about it.

We know that the angels are supposed to advise and guide their G.O.D.s on the proper path, but most of the gods are unlikely to listen anyway.

However, for Universe 9, due to his indecisiveness and all, I can see Sidra being more willing to ask Mojito for advice on the best course of action (he hates destroying after all, so if he lacks that much confidence about when to do it, it'd make sense to get some advice from the dude who's job it is to give advice).

However, Universe 9 was an utter ball of crap as far as universes go, and Mojito seemed mostly content to just distance himself as far away from both Sidra and Rou as possible, never giving even a word of advice at all. In hindsight, we know why, but I can't picture Sidra not trying to ask him for his thoughts on the matter, so it makes me wonder if he just never even tried to help, or maybe even occasionally said the wrong thing just to mess them up.

I can picture him just leaving those two totally to their own devices, but I can't tell if he wrote them off from the get go, or just gave up after a certain amount of time.

Could just be that he got tired of Sidra's codependency.

Maybe. I can see that happening.

Still, if that's the case, than it's Mojito's fault (at least a tiny bit) that Sidra was shit at his job. He's supposed to be helping the latter be better.

Universe 9 was just the perfect storm of bad decisions, bad choices for people running the show, and no fucks given it seems. I wonder if it was always shitty, or if it's entirely down to the way it was run?

I'm gonna give some props to Sidra & completely blame Shaggy for all of U9's problems.

Dude's a major tool.

[up] I mean Mojito of course.

Cause he kinda looks like Shaggy.

Huh maybe I should have called him booger since I just wanted to refer to him in a derogatory manner.

Oooooohhh. So that's why Shaggy knows Ultra Instinct. It's because he's an Angel.

So who is your least favorite universe?

Also which characters that you can remember had a neat design?

Not asking anything about their character or role just aesthetically that you can recall do you think was kinda neat looking?

Least favorite? 2, easily. I still don't know how the story actually wants to think of them. They're the subject of constant jokes and implied ridicule and the story makes fun of them for certain lazy tropes but uses them itself, but the characters are treated like they're serious threats when they clearly aren't. They cheat like hell but no one comments. They're hypocrites but get a "touching" sendoff. What am I supposed to think of them, Super? Oh well, so long as I know that I hate them either way.

I don't really like most of the other universes actually. 6 is probably my favorite followed by 9 maybe?

As far as designs go, DB probably just isn't my thing when it comes to that. I tend to like the simpler designs like Hit's but they seem to be in the minority.

You know, in hindsight, Kefla is the only fused character to actually use Super Saiyan 2. [lol]

[up][up] Huh Hit has a simple design?

He looks pretty detailed to me.

Cool that you like U9 or at least think of them more positively than the rest.

Hit is just a purple guy in a trench coat. And his head is shaped like a penis. That's it.

I personally think Magetta has the best design, but I'm a sucker for robots.

Like his abs & those shapes all over it.

Yea, Hit's design is pretty good just for how simple it tends to be.

And welcome to the hell pit Arha, enjoy your stay. So what's your opinion of Super now that you've caught up.

I doubt it. He's gonna be the Frieza of Super: his race doesn't matter, and it won't so much as be even named.

It sucks? The characterization is pretty terrible, the power levels are everywhere, the comedy consistently falls flat, the hyped up fighter has no personality beyond condescension and the villain probably won't get so much as a slap on the wrist.
