I thought it might have been a Saiyan ritual/holiday thing where they would mostly have gone home for reasons.

But orders work too.

I'm finding it strange that Goten and Trunks aren't going to be in Resurrection F. They've literally had a major role in EVERY movie from their introduction. Because, you know, they're the kids. So they're the most 'relatable' for the children in the movie theatre. But this movie is going to be only adults.

I guess they don't care about target markets anymore.

Dragon Ball's old enough now that its target market is nostalgic fans who grew up on it in the 80's and 90's.

Who do you think was buying all those Budokai and Tenkaichi games? I guarantee you, it wasn't 10-year-olds.

Where will they be while a alien invasion is taking place? Are they in disneyland?

Well, Krillin's a cop now, apparently. For some reason.

...Side-note, I looked up a thing about "Yo! Son Goku and his friends return" and at one point, Android 18 mentions sensing powerful ki levels approaching.

So. That's a thing.

How could she do that, exactly?

Krillin probably taught her.

But I thought she couldn't get stronger or increase her ki?

She doesn't need to get stronger or increase her ki. Ki-sensing is more like a technique than a power-up; she just has to be taught how to do it. God taught it to Goku, and Vegeta taught himself offscreen shortly after finding out it was a thing.

As Saiga pointed out in his evil [nja] post, it's like learning to perform the kienzan; she's powerful enough already. Once she knows how to do it, with some practice, she can do it.

@Shulgo: That suddenly gave me this great idea of Goten and Trunks visiting Disneyland. And they want to go on all the scary rides, but they're too short, so Goten hovers in the air above the height marker and is like "am I tall enough now?". And then Trunks takes him away, saying "Those rides are stupid, anyway".

...someone help me. My imagination is getting way too vivid.

Eh...peer pressure, mostly. All the other kids are having a fun time, so they think it would be fun. Then, when they get on, they realise it's not even thrilling to them.

Or they're going with Marron or one of their moms or Grandpa Ox or Briefs or something.

I still wonder if 18 could learn the Kaiouken.

I mean, her body might be able to handle it due to being a Cyborg Android CYBORG.

Though we have no idea if it would have any affect on her strength level, but if she can learn techniques, like any human, he could theoretically learn it too.

Probably not that one though. The Kienzan is one thing (it's a technique where actual physical power is irrelevant since it's a cutting technique), but something like the Kaiouken is likely impossible since she doesn't actually use Ki.

...Does the Kaioken use ki? I forgot exactly how it was explained.

And could imagine Goten and especially Trunks watching a lot of Disney movies. So they'd find it cool to see all their favourite characters.

[up][up] yeah, it requires precise ki control to amplify it briefly.

I'm not sure that she couldn't in theory learn the Kaioken. Like, I don't think it's a physical impossibility.

It would be logistically difficult, however. She would have to learn from Goku or Kaio-sama, the latter of whom is - let's say "difficult to reach" and leave it at that. Even moreso now that he doesn't have a planet at the end of Snake Way.

It would also be unlikely in practice simply as a result of how hard the technique is. Kaio-sama included, Goku's the only person ever to master it. That doesn't speak well of 18's chances.
