[up] I feel the same way. I understand they don't want to bombard us with dramatic moments throughout the entire fight but when the premise of the episode destroys the rythm of your final battle for the arc or when I have to wait an entire episode to see the eponymous event it's supposed to be focusing on I get frustrated. Especially since we cut to a supporting cast who hasn't had much development as of yet.

I loved Mr Satan antics in episode 13 because I found him funny and we got to see several layers of his character. I finally recognised the character who more or less saved the universe in the end of the Buu arc. But then there's Gohan who's almost entirely defined by his love of Videl. And most characters don't even have a trait attached to them. Even Vegeta is reduced to a silent loner who stands around doing nothing far away from everyone else since episode 9.

When I watch Dragon Ball Super I feel like there is dramatic moments and long streches of events that serve no real purpose. And I think that's why I'm getting bored with the Battle of Gods arc.

Super has been kinda a mixed bag thus far: we had the fantastic insight into Vegeta's character in episode 2 but now he's just standing there. In general, the first group of episodes were great for the side characters but the more recent episodes have gotten a bit repetitive with the main plot. In my opinion, however, it's actually been pretty consistently good, not great, but pretty good.

Well, the fight is going to end in Ep 14. In terms of the fight so far, we've had two pretty good episodes (11 and 13), and two somewhat mediocre episodes (10 and 12). So the fight has ended up kind of average.

Still, one of the biggest issues is...how is Golden Freeza and Champa and whoever going to top this? They literally were talking about destroying everything in existence in the universe. How do you scale higher than that?

I think they were overrating it, honestly.

The only thing we see the shockwaves do is destroy planets very far away, so it makes that constant repeated statement seem less powerful then it actually is.

Honestly, this is COMPLETELY against what Dragon Ball stands for but...I think there might not be that much Power Creep at all. Assuming nothing too drastic changes from Resurrection 'F', Golden Freeza should still be weaker than Beerus and Chanpa seems downright scared of him. I'm expecting Chanpa to surpass Beerus using the Super Dragon Balls but I'm not sure he'll even go to Whis' level.

They are going to destroy two universes at once.

Or Goku and Vegeta will eventually learn to go all out without threatening the entire universe. Maybe Whis will teach them to control their godly ki better. Beerus can fight with all his power without threatening the universe if he wants to. He just thought it wasn't worth the effort to do so until they almost destroyed it with their beam struggle. Or at least, it's what I take of episode 13.

Demongodofchaos, I like how you say "Oh, they're probably overstating it", at the same time that you take dumbass statements such as Naruto moving faster than light as completely serious.

The latter is completely ludicrous in context, the former?

It isn't. Majin Buu can tear through dimensions by screaming hard enough. What makes you think that Beerus, who's so much more powerful than him that they're not even in the same category, can't cause that same effect on such a large scale that it'd destroy the universe?

Hell, this is actually something that makes a couple of lines in Xenoverse suddenly make a lot more sense. SKOT is afraid that Beerus might destroy time itself in his anger at Demigra. And if he can actually destroy the universe... then it's likely that yeah, Beerus might have just destroyed time itself if he'd been allowed to fight Demigra while pissed off.

Except it isn't, in Naruto's case. You just can't accept it

And tearing through dimensions by screaming=/=destroying a universe.

You should've mention destroying entire Solar Systems one planet at a time, it works here...even both of these require power high enough.

If Goku and Beerus's battle is destroying planets with the shockwaves, then why does Beerus need to destroy the Earth?

Again, because Beerus is a dick. I don't think you quite get that part.

It's not about a quota or about how much destruction he causes.

Beerus said he's going to destroy Earth, so he's gonna destroy Earth. The only way you can stop him from doing so is if someone goes and destroys it first.

There's three steps to understanding Beerus:

Step 1: He's a dick

Step 2: He's thankfully not spouting bullshit about purity while threatening to kill innocents and is actually an enjoyable character despite the fact that his character type should by all means not work because we all like the fact that he is an honest...

Step 3: ...dick

There's also several ways to manipulate Whis into behaving the way you want him to.

Offer him food!

You want him to destroy a planet? Tell him that you were at this club right, and there were these two doods talking, and one of them said to the other one, "you know I heard some guys talking, and one of them said Beerus is wack", and tell him that the guy who called him wack is living in the planet you want blown up.

Alternatively you can offer him some pudding if he'll just destroy the planet for you.

That alternative is highly dangerous as he'll probably just blow you up and take the pudding.

Beerus won't blow you up if you offer him pudding. You have pudding, and clearly know where to find more, so naturally, he'd keep you around because you are a source of pudding.

Beerus is a dick, not a moron.

[up][up]I'd say, no. Goku's transformations were always just power increases, while Naruto gained entire new powers from his, and they're not even close when it comes to aesthetics either.
