Tobias is Shenron while Saiga is Porunga. Or is it the other way around?

Ya know, with Normal Shenron, Porunga, Ultimate, Black Smoke, Haze, Oceanus, Naturon, Rage, Eis, Nuova and Syn, I was wondering why isn't there a Dragon/Shenron race.

I mean, a little far-fetched, but what if ya know?

God creates both the Balls and the Dragon. When not summoned by the Balls, Shenron is a little model on God's Lookout. We see it a couple times throughout the series. Most notably, after Piccolo Daimao killed Shenron, we see the model broken into pieces.

So wait, did Shenron exists before Kami or after, because remember he was the only one who knew the legend of the Super Saiyan God, when even the eons old gods didn't know.

Shenron only came into existence once God created him. There may or may not have been a Shenron before the Nameless Namekian divided himself to become God, just as how Dende created his Shenron when he took the title, but that's unlikely given that the Dragon Balls seem to be a Namekian thing, not something every planet's God does.

Shenron knew about Super Saiyan God because a wish was spent on it. He's a magical reality-warping being that can even restore life to the dead and put planets back into existence; plucking knowledge out of thin air is no big deal.

By the way, thanks for answering my questions about the DB afterlife, guys. Seems the answer is "Don't think about it too hard." I suppose I can't blame the anime for wanting to flesh it out more.

Just downloaded the Movie Costume Pack on the PS 3 here in the US.

For the Goku and Vegeta costumes... I'm disappointed that these stats are finalized. There are now six different outfits with these stats, most of which can be used by any race and gender. It's more than a little ridiculous for the developers to show so much favoritism to a single stat setup when many others have been either been largely left out or completely left out.

The Vegito outfit is the only one that provides +5 ki and +5 ki blast supers, for example, and the Beerus outfit is the only one that provides +5 basic attack, +5 super attack, and +5 ki blast supers. The only outfit that currently gives +5 ki, +5 basic attack, and +5 super attack can only be used by the Frieza race.

The two new outfits definitely look better than most of the other outfits in the game, but that doesn't mean much if the stats are a repeat of what we've already got and it doesn't mean much if they nerf the hell out of many of our characters. Freebie or not, the only decent thing to come out of this was the SSGSS wig.

So, was there ever any difference between the Kaio-ken and Kaio-ken x2 that Goku used on Vegeta, or did he just use the same move twice?

Don't question the logistics of the illogical. tongue

The reason his flesh's red is because he's Albino.

EDIT: I just noticed that Xenoverse made SSJGSS hair spikier than normal SSJ hair. Notice how the bangs are more outward.

I just had this idea for an AU, and I'm really enjoying it.

The initial idea was "What if Goku was discovered by the social services?"

So, basically, people stumble upon Goku when he's about 10 or so. And, because they're concerned, they convince Goku to come to the city, where he ends up in an orphanage and gets adopted.

Except his adopted family are rich, controlling people who want nothing more than a child who acts normal. So they essentially try to supress his Saiyan genes. They forbid him from using his strength, and periodically cut off his tail when it grows back. (Luckily, Goku still remembers to not look at the full moon when he has it.)

But Goku still has the 4-Star Ball - the social services let him take it with him, as a keepsake of his former guardian. So, years later, Bulma sneaks into their house to get the ball, and Goku finds her. But Bulma convinces Goku to abandon his foster parents and go on an adventure with her. (It helps that his tail had just grown back, and his parents were talking about cutting it off again, which he disagreed with.)

So, everything after that would be similar except for Goku's personality.

I was thinking they could lure him with promises of food, and stuff like that. I mean, Goku went on a quest with Bulma without too much persuasion. If the social services (who know how to talk to kids) explain to Goku the benefits of having a home and family, they could be able to win him over.

The social services discovering Goku would only lead to the social services being beaten up by Goku, I think.

Also, I don't think Goku's personality would change enough to make a noticeable difference. He'd be a bit more knowledgeable in regards to society which may bypass his serial molester phase which may mean he never gets married to Chichi which would be major change but I think he personality would be almost exactly the same outside of that.

Grandpa Gohan taught Goku to be nice to people and respect them.

I mean, Goku was often a rude little shit, because a lot of stuff about etiquette and manners didn't end up in there, but.

I dunno. You couldn't "force" Goku to do anything, technically, but I don't know that he'd be directly and completely disobedient. He has a tendency to go with the flow.

Frankly, that's the source of a lot of his issues with his family as a husband and a parent. If he's with his wife and kids he's fine and if he's not with them he's fine too. He cares, and he often will stop to help people he's never met before, like random sea turtles several miles away from an ocean. But not much really drives him to go out of his way.

I recently read a discontinued fic where Gine ended up in the pod with Goku. She started calling Gohan dad and stuff. It was cute.

So, was there ever any difference between the Kaio-ken and Kaio-ken x2 that Goku used on Vegeta, or did he just use the same move twice?

It's the same move. Adding a number to the Kaioken is only relevant at x3 and above; Kaioken x2 is what the Kaioken naturally is.

Goku probably forgot how to do math.
