But since only Goku could use it, letting him stack it on top of of Super Sayian would make even other Super Sayians irrelevant.

With the exception of Vegeta, all the other super saying are irrelevant.

They just became irrelevant in a completely different way.

right, and only vegeta stays relevant because despite what a monster he once was, he's the closest thing Goku has to an actual rival who can keep up with him, and his character arc has turned him into a awkward but deeply loving family man who has honestly found himself a life he cherishes more than his old one.

Sure, he prefers training and chasing Goku to being with Bulma, Trunks, and Bra on a daily basis, but he'd willingly throw his vaunted pride out to defend them, which says more than most anything could

Vegeta stays relevant because someone needs to get their ass kicked by the villain to establish how powerful they are and he's the most entertaining character ever to inhabit the punching bag role. Others take turns doing it too, but when it's not Vegeta's face getting punched through his own rectum, it's just not the same.

To be fair, Vegeta had a far better showing against Beerus than Goku did before SSG; and both him and Goku probably could have solo'd Frieza. He's been pretty consistently keeping up with Goku lately.

Vegeta stays relevant because he's popular and to prevent Goku from being uncontested as the absolute best.

So here's a funny thought.

For all we criticize Tien for continued mountain training, even though he's not likely growing much stronger, the constant training has probably let him maintain a consistent level of strength.

In other words, he's the only human who's still in shape, even if he's still way behind Krillin.

I'm not talking about his Power Level to be fair.

Just that his constant training means his strength probably hasn't dropped too much.

Like how any athlete has to train to stay in shape.

I doubt he trains all the time. I bet he just dosen't want to admit he just plays video games when no one's around.

But he's always with Chiaotzu.

Maybe they play some Smash bros or Mario Kart.tongue

Edit: New thought. Do you guys think Krillin could have tapped his full power through training the way Guru did when he unlocked it, or was that impossible for him?

Cause if he's anything to go by, humanity does have incredible potential, even if it's insignificant to the Saiyans.

.....sorry for bringing up the power level discussion again, but in my defence, I'm trying to put some new spins on it.

  • GURU: I have unlocked your potential.
  • GOKU: Whoa, I feel amazing! Someone measure my power!
  • GOHAN: This scouter I never actually picked up at any point in this arc is telling me that you have a battle power of 20 million.
  • GOKU: Wow. This is my full potential? That's incredible. I should be able to make short work of Frieza.
  • GURU: For now, yes. Be sure to come back when they raise the level cap in the next expansion.

Actually, when I was talking about wanting Vegeta to have beaten Frieza, I meant in ROF, not in Z.

I'm definitely glad Vegeta was killed by Frieza in Z.

You guys are like the only DB fans I know who actually agree Vegeta shouldn't have killed Freeza.

Seriously, thanks for that.

Eh, I wouldn't have minded if Vegeta had gotten to kill Frieza in Resurrection F, since it really felt like Vegeta was only killing him to stop him, not for any form of revenge.

I think Whis should have just cut out the middle man and killed Freeza himself. Whis is literally the only reason Freeza died there anyway.

Phenomenal cosmic powers. Most powerful fighter in Dragonball history.

  • Steps on a dog turd.
  • Gets flustered at seeing Beerus naked.
  • Has a sweet tooth.

Kubo got nothing on Toriyama.

Where did that turd come from, though?

Chances are, Whis willed it to be there just so he could step on it.

I wouldn't have minded Vegeta killing Freeza in Revival of F, but I then I don't really care for that movie so it's a whatever thing for me.
