It's a pretty cool looking card, too!

Sucks that you can only do a God Meteor attack once per battle, but I guess spamming such a thing would be OP.

Porunga got screwed.

Narratively, Shenron is the original dragon, but Porunga is the original dragon chronologically. Shenron is a knock-off brand. Now we meet the Super dragon and it's a colossal version of that upstart Shenron?! Old man Porunga gets no respect.

Hell, Porunga at the end of the Buu series is better then Shenron, since he can literally do everything Shenron does better.

Mass revivals, three wishes (which Shenron can't do if he does any mass revivals, reducing it to just two) and is probably more powerful, which means he can affect more people.

Just look at Porunga, though, he's clearly juicing to get that buff!

Oh please.

Just because a dude keeps himself in shape, and has ripped arms doesn't mean he's juicing.

It's not Porunga's fault that Shenron is a stick with stubby arms.cool

What if there was a fighting game that was just Shenron?

  • Shenron
  • Porunga (if I remember correctly, his name is Namekian for Dream Shenron)
  • Ultimate Shenron
  • Black Smoke Shenron
  • Haze Shenron
  • Oceanus Shenron
  • Naturon Shenron
  • Rage Shenron
  • Nuova Shenron
  • Eis Shenron
  • Syn Shenron
  • Super Shenron

Dragons beating each other up, that'd be awesome...

Super Shenron would just be the final boss ala MVC 3's Galactus.

The Shadow Dragons from GT were pretty neat. I wish they'd been handled better, though, instead of just being Kamehameha fodder.

I actually like how Super Shenron looks more like the Western depiction of dragons. Adds variety to the designs and makes me wonder what other worlds have Dragon Balls, and what designs their dragons take after.

In what way? Because he still looks like a traditional Eastern snake-with-wings to me.

Which, incidentally, is objectively the worst dragon and everyone knows Western-style dragons are totally better.

The face and presence of wings give it more of a Western feel.

I'm fairly sure the Eastern Dragons don't have wings, like, at all. They're 'Great Serpents', after all.

Also, having seen the Order of the Dragon's crest... yeah, Dragons seem to have been originally giant snakes with wings, rather than our modern depictions.

Closer to the Wyvern than the Wyrm.

Lots of dragons back then didn't have wings either I think.

Also, there is an entire species of Chinese dragon that grows wings in their final stage of life.

Yes, a lot of the original dragon depictions are serpents. In fact, one of the earliest depictions of a dragon is the constellation Draco which, you'll note, does not have wings.

Nonsense,there are enough stars there to make two or four wings. tongue

But yeah.Some olden dragons even had hair,or quills like porcupines.

I was wondering, what's to stop the Earth 6 humans from driving themselves to extinction again now that they'very been revived?

For that matter, how will they react to being brought back? They'll likely never know they were revived.

[up]It appears that it won't happen. Earth Six was noted as having a culture similar to the one earth seven had.

It appears Beerus's wish was for Universe's Six's earth to be brought back and be similar to the one in his universe.

Likely the earth and it's inhabitants were simply brought into existence and but will act like it's always been there.

Makes sense to me.

For the record, I'm trying to remember: was it flat out said they wiped themselves out, or was it just said they were destroyed by something?

I keep thinking it's the latter. I don't re-call it ever being said that they destroyed themselves.

I'm half expecting them to get wiped out by Champa later on,as a joke.

No, Whis did say something about a "stupid war" being the cause for the destruction of Earth-6's humans.

One popular theory was that the earth 6 version of the RR army started the war.

It would make sense.

[up]X3

Yeah, Whis and Vados mentioned Earth 6 was destroyed in a war.
