No, because in BOG, Beerus said that the universe they were in was the seventh universe.

If not a typo:

Battle of Gods and Resurrection 'F': Universe 7

Dragon Ball Super: Universe 6

although I hope not, as that would be a huge waste of a Universe when we've only got 12.

I thought there were only seven.

No, there were twelve.

Which is an arbitrarily low number, if you think about it.

The DBZ verse does have like,only 4 galaxies or something.

I thought it was like four quadrants each containing multiple galaxies.

Still not very big size wise.

Say,what speed would you need to do what the Nameless Namek's ship did and get to Jupiter in a sec?Probably involving a fair bit of time dilation.

I don't think you realize just how big galaxies are.

Like, it takes light 100,000 years just to get from one end of the milky way galaxy to the other.

Even traveling many times the speed of light, it would take you a long time to get from one end to the other, let alone to an entirely different galaxy.

That's our galaxies.Not DBZ's.

I don't think I've seen any indication that DB galaxies are smaller.

Earth and Jupiter don't have a constant distance between them. But assuming the absolute closest distance possible distance between them you'd still need to be going about 2000x faster than light to travel between them in literally one second, I think.

#25289: Sep 20th 2015 at 4:35:18 PM

I thought space gets wonky as you reach the 99.999etc% limit.

e.g there was a proton detected moving at that speed,that due to time dilation,had travelled for 100.000 years for us,and around 10 secs for itself.Possibly exaggerating things here.

So,since all the DBZ characters move crazy fast,their galaxy really is smaller!

Well, I guess it depends on whose perspective of a second we're talking here. If the ship literally made it to Jupiter in one second, then for Bulma the time passed would be significantly less. However, if the one second thing is actually Bulma's perspective then the trip actually took longer than that from the perspective of the actual universe outside the ship. Let's say ten seconds, which would mean the ship is only going 200x the speed of light.

And technically this time dilation stuff happens no matter how fast you're going. It's simply more pronounced the closer you get to the speed of light.

Edit: And I think it should probably be obvious but I really doubt Toriyama took time dilation into account for that scene.

I think the ship just had warp drive or something.

The ship's probably magic.

Yep, magic. I mean, the ship doesn't even have any kind of propulsion system, does it? It's basically just a giant ball.

More like a spiky egg.

Makes you wonder what pre drought Namek tech was like.

It's kinda hard to keep on truckin' when your Emperor has been dead for over a decade. tongue

Well to be fair, said emperor was likely to murder you just because you were there. Or by complete accident when destroying a planet you happened to be on. Or just because he was mildly bored and you looked particularly killable that day.

Any sane person would bring back Captain Ginyu instead.

I wonder if they're still actively buying and selling planets, or if now they just dong around the cosmos trying and failing to still be relevant?
