[up]Makes sense. Beerus wanted to destroy Earth because Buu wouldn't share his pudding. Champa's evil motivation is just to transport Earth to his Universe.

Like, is Champa really the bad guy here? tongue

I mean, then Earth will exist in Universe 6 again and Universe 6 will be corrupted by its evil.

Universe 7 is so evil that the members of a race of murderous lunatics who are themselves battle-crazed lunatics willing to risk the entire fucking universe just to have a good fight are its greatest heroes.

So... yeah, we've been following the bad guys all along. They were just the lesser evil all this time.

But then does that mean the Universe 6 Namekians are evil?

...

Oh wow. There's something we never considered.

The Universe Anthem is the best thing ever.evil grin

You know, if Toriyama ever wanted to keep writing the Dragonball universe without being bogged down by the previous continuity, he might consider having someone revive the earth of Universe 6 and start telling stories there instead. It's a chance for a whole new world, while still playing with all the old concepts he already introduced.

I've actually had a theory that Universe 6 wins the tournament, Beerus gets pissed off that he's lost such a great source of food, and a truly angry Beerus becomes is the final boss of this arc.

I'm curious if the nipple guy is actually legitimately a fighter. My gut keeps telling me he's going to lose in some anti-climatic fashion resulting in Earth being moved to Universe 6.

I would assume he can transform somehow. That's probably why they can't get a bead on his power.

I guess he must conceal it even better than Frieza. That being said, him not being as Bad Ass as he seems kinda makes sense, except Beerus says he's the biggest Bad Ass in the universe, and it would be weird for him to make a mistake like that

No, I just assumed Goku couldn't grow a beard. Not all men actually grow facial hair.

I figured it would have come up by now if Goku was capable of growing a beard. He doesn't even maintain the hair atop his head, so why would he bother with that on the bottom of it? TOEI once used a butt naked from the back Goku for a gag and he had absolutely no body hair whatsoever. Does he wax himself? Cause that seems even more out of character to me. Or has TOEI just forgot that they already used the smooth skinned pretty boy gag before deciding it would be funny to give him a beard?

I kind of want Monaka to just be a Pint-Sized Powerhouse who's REALLY good at suppressing his Ki. And for him to breathe fire, making him Dragon Ball's answer to Red Boy from Journey To The West.

Maybe his ki burns away all body hair?

Maybe Chichi doesn't like body hair and had him wax it off? I'm not sure you could actually wax off or shave Goku's body hair...

I don't think Goku's hair has ever been implied to be as tough as him.

Thing is, to wax it off, you need to pull it off his skin. Shaving might be possible, but it'd basically be no different from scrapping a razor on steel with hair. It'd dull really quickly.

His skin might be indestructible compared to a razer, but it's still soft and malleable.

Yeah, they can just reinforce the blades with ki and it'd work. Alternatively, they could greatly suppress their ki and anyone could shave them.

Didn't Goku say it was impossible for him to get a haircut back in the original epilogue, since the scissors always kept breaking every time someone tried to give him a trim?

Yeah, that was one of the early gags but I chalk that up to the fact that Dragon Ball was originally more Comedy Focused.

By original epilogue, I mean the epilogue after the Buu Saga.

I remember Bulma trying to cut Goku's hair with scissors and the scissors shattering. I don't remember that coming up again in the epilogue though.

There's mention of how Goku's hair hasn't changed at all, Vegeta says it's because a Saiyan's hair stays in the same style for their entire lives, and Goku realises that's probably why he could never get a haircut, because scissors would always break on it.
