I think they decided to use "Spirit Bomb" because "Energy Sphere" just sounds a little stupid. That's a complete guess, though.

...now I'm picturing Goku blowing up Frieza with a giant ball of grin, complete with a speech balloon as it descends upon him that just says "OH HAI!"

What Yamcha should've done with his spirit ball is make a version where it blows up on command instead of just smacking the enemy upside the head.

What Yamcha should do is give up the fighting and use his superhuman abilities in a way that benefits him.

Like becoming a pro sports player. Maybe he can play Basketball or something.

Which really isn't a dig at Yamcha since "Cena wins lol" is the only law in WWE.

I still hope Super has more goofy slice of life style stuff.

Like. Goku being a Grandpa. And having to be a dad for Goten while he's in school.

Vegeta panicking over Bra's birth because last time he became a parent he didn't do anything until the kid was like a year old already and he didn't care at the time, but now he cares immensely and he doesn't know if he'll be any good at it.

Piccolo on babysitting duty for everyone.

An entire episode of 17 being a park ranger.

And episode dedicated to Beerus and Vegeta having a dance-off.

Seriously, Beerus and Whis better be recurring characters.

...I'm imagining Bra pulling on Beerus's ears and Vegeta just faints immediately.

...Oh goddammit that would have improved Battle of Gods so much if Bra had been born by then.

Increasing Vegeta's panic leads only to good things.

Hipster Broly.

EDIT: So, why did everyone but Videl turn Super Saiyan when they did the god ritual? Is that a requirement? Did Pan turn Super Saiyan?

...Why would Videl have felt like helping do the God ritual for Vegeta afterwards?

Did Vegeta have to wait for Tarble to visit?

...Is it me, or does it seem weird that Tarble got referenced when that special never got dubbed or released anywhere else?

No, what's absurd is that Goku had to use the Kaioken to drop Nappa as quickly and efficiently as he did despite being twice as strong as him.

The Kaio-ken was mainly used because Nappa surprised him by charging at Gohan and Kuririn. Even though Goku was already faster, he wasn't going to make it time. But yeah, the Kaio-ken also made beating Nappa quickly because the dude was noted as being unusually sturdy.

Saibamen kill Krillin instead of Yamcha, how does the series change?

Assuming Yamcha somehow survives the other Saibaimen and Nappa, which is a huge assumption, then he'd have to handle the Genki Dama. Goku said it'd be too much power for Gohan to handle, and from the early Namek arc I think Gohan's stronger than Yamcha. Mostly because it'd be funny.

But even if Yamcha is stronger than Gohan and can handle the genki dama, he has never shown the ability to use the Taiyo-ken so he likely gets killed by Dodoria on Namek.

[up] Well, it's not like the Japanese company would give a shit about Tarble not being released elsewhere when they're making a Japanese film. Then Funi just decided to dub accurately.

So how powerful is "Saiyan Beyond God" supposed to be?

It can't actually be as strong as Super Saiyan God, because Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan is still weaker than Beerus and Whis. As opposed to 30 times stronger than Beerus and 20 times stronger than Whis.

Also, Goku and Vegeta can still have their ki sensed in base. It's not Godly ki.

...Unless.

Hmm. From what I've looked up, Revival of F does have a thing where Goku and Vegeta are using Godly energy in base. Or something.

In Xenoverse, when Beerus is a mentor, he teaches you how to use Godly ki. In addition to regular ki I guess?

Maybe the way to retain Super Saiyan God is to retain all the Godly ki it gives.

Maybe Super Saiyan God is additive. What with needing the energy of five good Saiyans infused in the sixth. And maybe the Super Saiyan transformation can't multiply Godly ki because reasons? So SSGSS is 50 times normal base, plus Super Saiyan God.

[up][up][up] Their base forms really aren't elaborated on. Goku fought pretty well against Beerus even though he needed Teleport Spam, but in RF he's implied to be a lot weaker than Beerus because even a casual attack from Beerus would have killed Goku and Vegeta both.

So the level he showed in Battle of Gods could have been temporary due to not having lost all of Super Saiyan God's power yet.

Then the only person Goku has really fought is Freeza, whose strength is completely unknown.

Wasn't Beerus deliberately holding back throughout Battle of Gods? While in RF Beerus was cranky about being woken up and probably not thinking straight?

And Frieza's ki can apparently be sensed, so.

Goku and Vegeta were also out of stamina due to training with Whis, who makes a point that Goku still has a fragile body when he isn't enhancing it with his ki, which is how Sorbet was even able to hurt him.

Beerus in BOG eventually used up to 70% of his power, setting up that we haven't even seen his 100%. So I feel like RF Beerus, even when cranky, wouldn't go beyond that.
