Much older brother, actually. IIRC all the Namekians currently alive are Guru's kids.

Shenron needs two wishes to mass revive people.

Porunga can bring back a planet and all nonliving things on it, bring back all the living things, including the ones that have died previously, and then top off a dude's energy. And in about 3000 hours he can do it all over again if he has to. Shenron needs to use two wishes to bring back multiple people, near as I can tell can't be used to bring back people that have already come back once, and can't mass revive people that died more than a year ago, if what Saiga says is true. And he needs almost 9000 hours to recharge afterwards when he uses all his wishes.

Shenron kinda sucks.

Neither can revive someone who died from old age.

[up][up] I mean, since neither of them can do it that still gives the point to Porunga.

[up] Let's be honest, Porunga's shadow dragons could probably beat up Shenron's shadow dragons.

EDIT: ...God I dunno why but I keep thinking about Beerus recruiting Frieza for his contest with Champa.

I don't know why I like this idea.

I mean, I'm just guessing but I can assume that Beerus and Champa themselves won't be on the teams, as that would defeat the point, and I feel they probably won't be sending Whis or Vados out either because it wouldn't be fair.

I dunno whether the dead are eligible or whether the people from their universes have to be alive.

Like, either way Beerus could go to Earth or Namek and say "hey, bring back Frieza" and while none of them would like it they'd do what he says.

I mean, as of Resurrection F he's almost as strong as Goku and Vegeta. And after only four months of training too.

Frieza can go from 0.000000001% Beerus to 50% Beerus in the time it takes for Porunga to recharge.

According to Goku his problem was that after he got his new form he went to Earth right afterwards instead of learning to control it. In other words, he didn't train enough.

It probably is simply a matter of the Grand Elder and Moori being better than Kami and Dende.

Like, Frieza got to keep his body the first time because Yenma wanted to torture him.

Beerus could probably nab the cocoon for his competition and nobody would complain.

I mean, it's a competition between their universes. I'm guessing that includes the afterlives. Maybe the demon realms too.

...And I kinda want to see Frieza's reaction to having to work with Goku and Vegeta right after they killed him again.

I legitimately think that'd be fascinating to see.

Like, I love how deferential Frieza was to Beerus in Resurrection F. Seeing Frieza on his back foot like that is neat.

EDIT: On a different note, mustache.

EDIT: Come to think of it, speaking of the Demon Realm, how strong is Towa meant to be? Has she made Mira yet?

...Alternatively, since it seems to be the case that all Alternate Timelines are actually part of the same universe, could Beerus pay SKOT a visit to find a strong warrior from a different history?

Ya know, God- and thus Dende- had the power to reactive the Dragon Balls apparently at will. After God resurrected Shenron, he made it so that he could be summoned immediately instead of in a year. It seems that the time limit is entirely arbitrary.

I mean, Porunga is still better at the wish granting than Shenron. More wishes and better wishes with less limitations. You can't deny that.

You know, I was going to ask a question about the Dragon in GT relating to this topic, but it's GT logic, and questioning GT logic never makes any sense.

Well, I was going to ask if it takes the balls hundreds or even thousands of years to disperse the evil karma built up in them, why don't they take 100 years or so for them to recharge, or even have a recharge period at all, considering that it was supposed to take a long time before they're all gathered again after use?

A better question would be this: Why don't they just destroy the Dragon and make a new one each time? Or use one Dragon, say, ten or so times then destroy and make a new one.

Because before the invention of the dragon radar it probably did take that long. Or at least, more than a couple of months.

I mean, eventually it got to the point where Goku could go get them all in like an hour. There was no reason to think something like that was ever going to be possible.

[up][up]Well, apparently all the evil karma transferred over from the two times the dragon had died.

Assuming Shenron didn't die when the Dragon Balls blew up, he's only died once. Also, Dende didn't create a new dragon, he revived the old one.

Well, I meant when he died the first time and was revived by Dende the second time.

I didn't know how else to put that and didn't know if that was death or not.

That might have been resurrection. Either way, reviving a dragon does not equal creating a completely different one like Dende was going to do originally. That would take him 100 days to do.

The Uniiverse 6/7 tournament sounds suspiciously like Mortal Kombat.

Also it would be stupid for them to have an arc about reviving and killiIng Freeza and then bring him back for the next arc especially since there's only 5 spots left.

Goku and Vegeta are locks. Let's get someone else other than Freeza to get a good fight.

[up][up]Like who? It's clear Goku and Vegeta alone are the only ones who matter. If, say, Piccolo and Gohan get brought in, it'll just be to lose to hype up the other universe, at which point Goku and Vegeta will curbstomp them.
