People have been suggestion that the Superhuman Water that's appearing in a future episode might be the key to other characters keeping up.

But they aren't supposed to keep up.

They point was made a long time ago.

And even if they did take it, they'd still be totally outmatched by whatever comes next.

Why start caring now? What's the point? Though I suppose it would at least make sense in universe.

I don't think Krillin needs it. He already got all his hidden power unleashed...didn't he?

I mean, it worked differently for him and Gohan, in that the latter proved to still have a lot of power left in the pipe that was unlocked later on, but still, Krillin should be pretty good...

And how do we know they didn't already drink the water way back when? Krillin, Chiaotzu, Tien / Tenshihan, and Yamcha all trained with Corrin at one point, so it's possible they got the option to try.

...Mega Krillin is pretty awesome.cool

He possess power of Million normal Krillins! Which would be useful like three arcs ago.

In all seriousness Goku probably drinks it and becomes like Mega Super Sayain Overgod or something.

Can't do it.

The dragon can't grant a wish that exceeds the power of it's creator.

I was expecting a higher set of gods. Whis is too cavalier. As I mentioned when we discussed the issue of subservience before, he seems like Beerus's caretaker. The existence of Vados and Champa in U6 creates the impression that Whis and Vados are performing a role; that it's their job to train and look after the God of Destruction, and that every universe probably has a Whis/Vados taking care of their Beerus/Champa.

And if it's their job, that means they must report to someone. The chain of command must have some form of leadership.

Then how are the dragons able to resurrect people and reform planets?

Just because Kami has enough power to bring someone back from the dead does not mean that he can actually do it.

It's not that the Dragons can't do anything that their creator can't, it's that they can't do things that exceed that creator's power. Hence why they're unable to affect beings beyond the powerlevel of their creator without those beings' consent. If Kami could do mass revivals himself, they wouldn't use the Dragon Balls at all.

[up][up]Don't ask me.

That's just a rule about the balls.

I mean, that is a rule right? or am I confusing it with the can't affect anyone more powerful than itself rule, which at this point in the series, is pretty much every one.

How can you have the power necessary to bring people back to life, and yet at the same time not have the power to actually do that?

Maybe he just doesn't know how.

He meets all the spell requirements, has enough spell slots and stats and levels, but he doesn't know the spell.

To use an analogy.

The idea of death is kind of vague in this series anyway. Goku had his body, his soul was in his body, his heart was beating since he could bleed and yet somehow he was still dead. Maybe all reviving someone requires is to knock the silly halo off the top of their head.

I still want to know why that picture of dead Goku with a halo and angel wings was made; no one was ever shown with those wings at all.

Yeah, when Old Kaioshin gave his life to Goku all that changed was that one got a halo and the other lost it.

Hell, Goku can freely teleoprt between the living world and after life. There was never anything stopping him from just teleporting back on Earth. Except in the afterlife he could train all the time and Chichi wasn't nagging him.

Which is weird, since Super implies that all pure-blood Saiyan males have a fetish for bossy, strong-willed women.
