The fact that Piccolo has pointed out that Monaca should be really strong, and Beerus' hype, now makes me think it'd be funny if they were all mistaken somehow and he's actually very weak.
THAT would actually be subverting expectations at this point. Still kind of predictable, because the problem with subverting expectations is that once you know somehow employs it you can just think "so what do I expect, and what is the opposite of that?" and be pretty damn close.

I wonder what it would be like if the cast of DBZ met their Abridged counterparts?
I said dangerous, not more powerful.
Super Buu is the biggest and strongest Buu, but he is not the most dangerous - that is Kid Buu. Super Buu can be somewhat reasoned with, he's actually intelligent enough for communication. With Kid Buu, there is no such thing. You just can't stop Kid Buu from destroying everything in sight without killing him, while you can at least delay Super Buu. And the most powerful form of Super Buu, the one with Gohan absorbed, clearly cares more about eating shit than he does about destroying shit.
17 and 18 can be actively malicious, whereas 16 would be perfectly content to just sit on a rock and watch the birds. That makes them more dangerous.
Being powerful does not automatically make you dangerous.

Watch SymphogearAt that point in time, they had excised Piccolo and the kids from his being, though. As a result, it's not entirely clear if his power spiking was in relation to base Super Buu or from Buuhan.
I'm inclined to assume the former. Vegeta just didn't have a previous line mentioning that his power dropped when he lost his absorptions. That part was just assumed.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.
Don't you mean any encounter where Saitama immediately instagibs his opponent? :P
Fair warning, that fight shown in that video is not indicative of the encounters in Onepunch man. Mostly because of the instagib factor of its main character. :P
Also what Madhouse did for that show might not necessarily work for a show like Dragonball Super.

Yeah, yeah, One-Punch Man has really great animation, I know...
I'm sorry, I've heard so many complaints of "Why can't Super look like that?", I've gotten completely sick of it.
If even the movies don't look like that, the series never would. The coolest animation I can think of is that part in Battle of Gods where "Hero" starts playing and Goku goes Super Saiyan. THAT was good animation.
The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!

Which isn't true, Goku thought between Beerus and Whis the latter was the more impressive looking one, and his first impression was the right one, despite the fact the larger one proceeded to wait hand and foot on the latter. It was the exact opposite of the Vegeta-Nappa situation.
Oh, yeah, the Androids. It turns out the biggest strongest looking one was exactly what he looked like, despite 17's claims of being the strongest.
Hell, Majin Buu looks ridiculous, but of his various forms which one was the strongest? The one that looked the strongest, that's which!
And I'll admit, I expected fighter five to look silly, that was predictable. Being a possible expy of The Red Boy was not. Especially not when he came before the trio of the lion cave or the rhino army...I'm still hoping for The Seven Headed Monster to get an expy though...
Speaking of expies, Android 16 is an expy of the T-800 Terminator, and Cell is the T-1000. Not quite as direct as the Journey To The West characters but in their role as a big machine man protecting two family members from a newer model in his line with regeneration powers. Maybe the T-X and that guy from Terminator Salvation will get expies too? I sure hope so.
