I want to see Vegeta have to hold the hand of an infant to become a Super Saiyan God.

Why would they suddenly say it's possible without it?

Push-ups, sit-ups, and plenty of juice?

Fifty bucks says Toriyama has already forgotten the ritual.

Maybe Whis can help him bypass the need for a ritual.

Because Whis.

Or maybe Bulma will build some type of generator so Vegeta can bypass the proper method.

Nah, that's fucking stupid.

Dragonball already had a built-in Reset Button in the Dragonballs, and Senzu Beans, obtained from a magical, talking cat.

You should embrace what few scientific solutions there are.

My new favorite thing is watching Dragon Ball at 1.5x speed to turn all the characters into chipmunks.

So Hermit Beans Beans?

Senzu Beans is just wrong.

Unless Roshi is actually his name... which it isn't, but it could be.

Come to think of it, is he ever actually given a name?

Kamesennin isn't his name either, that's his title as the Turtle Hermit/Sage.

It's weird, because his master got a name (Mutaito), but not Master Roshi himself.

Roshi is his name but the joke is that Roshi means 'master' so Master Roshi is Master Master. His full name is Muten Roshi and his title is Kamesennin.

It's not said outright in the original manga. Viz renders it as another title of his, referring to him as "the Muten Roshi" but that isn't in the original.

The original just has him called Muten Roshi, and even though the meaning of the name sounds like it would be a title, Dragon Ball is full of puns and some names that are just straight up a word rather than a pun (Trunks, etc). I consider it to be his name because of that.

So basically we're not sure but we're going with Muten Roshi actually being his given name.

Well good thing he turned out to be a martial arts master, right?

So I've seen a lot of pictures when I image search Tenshinhan of fanart of him either in mystic or using Kaioken in an orange and purple outfit. It's a really weirdly persistent design and I'm wondering if anyone has read any fic where he's done or worn anything like that? The closest I can think is in BreakThroughTheLimit, and he doesn't wear that.

Not that I know of. I'm pretty sure it just started with the images and the author's notes explaining the "story" behind them. Then it was copied and spammed endlessly because those kind of fans are absurdly uncreative.

edit: Yeah it can all be traced back to a DA user named MysticErlangShen (formely Majintenshinhan) who created Mystic Super Mittsumejin Tenshinhan Final Form Master Kaio-ken x50 with that outfit.

...

(Scouter) (Late)

Edit: Oh, apparently he's a Majin as well despite not having the mark. Guess that's the source of the veins.

Yeah, I've seen pictures of him like that fighting Piccolo, Goku, Super Buu, it's kinda ridiculous. At least they're well-drawn though.

#26295: Oct 16th 2015 at 10:57:26 PM

Shame such a talent for drawing is used on such a terrible concept. Also he has Piccolo start wearing Daimao's kanji to pay tribute to his father, does he know a damn thing about these characters?

edit: And it's not just well drawn, he's produced quite a lot of high quality images. Very productive work.

Ah. Yeah, I figured it might just be one guy's art rather than fan art of a fan fic.

To be fair, I don't think there's a reason Mystic Kaio-kenx50 Tenshinhan WOULDN'T be Super Buu-tier. It's just executed oddly.
