It was with two characters who did, Babidi and Dabra.

...When Frieza blew up the planet?

No, when Kaioshin was trying to find it. Pointing out his ability to find things must have some limitation.

Well, there's still Whis' ability to find things. Sure, Whis would still be solving the plot but at least it'd be with an ability he demonstrated in his first appearance.

And we don't even know how that ability works. He can see Goku fight Freeza but not anything about Super Saiyan God. Also not absolute.

The Super Saiyan God happened an absurdly long time ago. Possibly longer than Kaiou-sama has been around. It's entirely possible that Whis wasn't around when it happened.

Alternatively, he just wasn't paying attention to- Wait a minute. I feel like we've had this conversation before.

Anyway, he might have just not been paying attention to Planet Vegeta when it happened but was keeping an eye on Freeza in case he got out of hand and would require Beerus to intervene before he destroyed too much (which I think is the reason why Beerus wanted the Saiyans gone).

Either way, equating looking at something an unspecified distance in the past with looking at something that happened not even a decade ago or looking for someone who's power rivals a god's and exists right now is just absurd.

What if Whis trained for four months?

Not longer than Whis has been around - Beerus sealed Old Kaioshin who predates the Saiyans.

Anyway, it's moot. In the movie itself Whis doesn't know where Freeza is.

How do we know Old Kaioshin predates the Saiyans?

He says something about it to Goku when he talks about being sealed 75 million years ago.

Also the Saiyans as a race don't seem to be that old, considering they are basically barely out of the caveman stage when they're all blown up.

Okay, look, regardless of the outcome of this argument, we all agree that the plot of Resurrection "F" is pretty stupid, right?

Apparently they had a spaceship they used to get to their second home planet after they blew up the first one.

...It was a crude, ramshackle spaceship that basically crashed when they got there, but.

It's entirely likely that, when the Super Saiyan God happened, Beerus and Whis were busy getting drunk and snorting cocaine off the ass of a hooker. Or sugar. Nose candy! Because they're Beerus and Whis and they're terrible role models.

...I'm finding it difficult imagining them doing that.

I mean, eating terrible sushi at some random place, sure.

Getting sloshed on their namesakes, yeah.

...I sorta imagine Whis is a lightweight.

Him drunkenly crooning for a century while Beerus is trying to sleep off a hangover is a hilarious mental image.

I more imagine Whis being an infuriatingly coherent drinker.

Like, by the time you collapse under the table, he's humming and "tut-tut"ing in a knowing tone of voice. He swears to you that he was blind drunk, but you never detect a change in his personality at all.

Maybe Super Saiyan God predated the Saiyans somehow.

...Or, I think Elder Kai knows what a Saiyan is, at least. Like, he predates them, but they were around when he was sealed.

We don't know how long Beerus had the job when he sealed Old Kai.

Beerus could have been a young arrogant whippersnapper.

A teenager.

Or even a preteen.

Maybe Whis was busy housetraining him when the Super Saiyan God happened? Teaching him how to use the litter box?

...What kind of poop does Whis step in during the training section in Resurrection F?

I mean, nobody lives there but Whis and Beerus, so.

And their pet fish, I guess, but.

Does Beerus just randomly poop in the garden?

Tiny kitten Beerus was probably adorable. And outrageously powerful. But mostly adorable.

I've seen what people are like when they post while drunk and I haven't noticed anyone acting like that.

On another site, I actually got a really weird PM from someone who was drunk.

[up] But was he outrageously adorable?

If four months trained for four months it would power up into four years.

I really hate revival of F for bringing in the four months thing.

And now, I hate everyone who's rolled with it.

The exception to that hatred is myself, since I've likely made the joke as well, cause I'm awesome.
