Actually, now that I think about it, isn't it a little odd that the last three (four? five?) big antagonists have all had purple prominent in their designs? Beerus, Tagoma (not a main antagonist, but definitely purple) Freeza (even in Golden Form, he's got the purple glassy bits), Hit, and Champa.

Purple is a pimp-ass color, it's cool and great for villains.

Funny you should mention, we have a trope for that.

Short version is: heroes are typically colored red, blue, or yellow while villains are typically green, purple, or orange.

Goku's been red, yellow and now blue multiple times, makes sense.

Dragon Ball is interesting because two of its notable protagonists, Piccolo and Tien, are green. But that's because they were originally villains.

Tien does seem to have traded his green in for more heroic blue and yellow recently.

Vegeta also always had a blue theme going on; besides the Galick Gun and the Final Burst Cannon against Frieza, he's always used blue or yellow auras, even as a villain.

Goku's most identifiable color, though, is orange, apparently a villain color.

The Kaio-ken doubles your power, Beerus needed at least 70% of his power to beat down Goku, in both Battle of Gods and Super; Goku is most likely far stronger than he was at that point, due to Super Saiyan Blue, the training with Whis, and the three years of training with Vegeta. If he used the Kaio-ken, he should at least be equal to 120% of Beerus' power.

...I wonder if that's going to come up. Beerus is still training with Whis.

Even if Goku is stronger than Beerus in his SKKP form, the strain such a form could do to his body would knock himself out cold after a few minutes.

All Goku has to do is beat Beerus down in a few minutes then. Goku has enough experience with the technique, and has demonstrated that, he knows to use it in quick bursts.

Then Beerus uses the Kaio-Ken and status-quo is maintined.

Toriyama's recent interview said something about him not having plans to have Goku and Vegeta surpass Beerus and Whis at the moment, so somehow the Super Blue Kaioken doesn't cut it.

Not against those two, but it might work against Hit...if it's real that is.

Be funny if the Kaioken multiplier doesn't stack. Super Saiyan Blue is, let's say, 40,000x multiplier. Goku powers up Super Kaioken Blue and is disappointed to discover that it gives him 40,001x.

In other words, it'll be additive instead of multiplicative.

Oh! That reminds me! We have a voice acting club that just started at my community college, so they showed an example of bad voice acting yesterday and we watched a compilation of the Big Green Dub.

I love how 90% of the people in Big Green Dub are apparently the same guy.

I wonder how long it'll be in Super before someone offs Krillin.

The guy's my favorite character, but it's practically tradition at this point.

Why?

He gets killed every other saga.

This is true.

If Leomon and Musashi have taught me anything, it's that when given a chance not to kill a recurring character, Japan will always kill that character.

Every fucking time. Without fail.

So get Krillin's grave ready.
