...

I just realized....

The Pilaf Gang are idiots.

Yes yes, I get it. But the thing is, back during the Revival of F arc / Movie, the Dragon was right in front of them.

Shuu wished for money (and Mai added ice cream in the super version), but WHY DIDN'T THEY WISH THEMSELVES BACK INTO ADULTS!!!!?

If this has been brought up before, feel free to post the old Slowpoke pic.

Why would they wish themselves back to adulthood? Being regressed to children might be a bit annoying for a few years, but they'll grow back up. That's basically having another couple of decades added to your life.

[up][up][up]Having Money is more important than being an Adult...it's not like they're losing anything by "not" being grown.

Just using simple math, Cooler's 5th Form must be significantly larger than a 20 times multiplier.

Point more or less the same. Where Freeza had to work to beat down Goku, who was weaker at the time, Cooler overwhelmed him almost instantly.

Hell, I couls see the benefit of making a wish to drop a person's age back to, for example, ten whever they hit forty.You get a few years of not being respected every other decade, but you get a ton of prime years in-between.

Might as well just wish for immortality in that case. Gather up the dragonballs again if you ever get tired of living.

I remember in Battle of Gods, Shuu was actually glad to be a kid again. "Hey, when you age in dog years, you need all the youth you can get."

Come on! Let's bless them all until we get fershnickered!

It would be boring to be the same age all the time. It would also be a touch easier to avoid people noticing how you never age.

Now that it's been put forward, I really hope that time ring is a reference to the Time Breakers. Even if it ends up being anime-only.

Though the problem ends up being who raises you. Like the Pilaf Gang where on the street until being allowed to stay at Capsule Corp.

Personally I'm beginning to think that the reason Black is after Trunks in the first place is due to him using time travel. Thus Black is bringing Trunks to justice for his use of Time Travel. This actually may be what gets the Omni-king involved.

Then why would he be using the symbol of the Time Breakers?

It seems more like the reason they introduced the "time travel is forbidden" aspect is so they could prove why with (Time Breaker?) Black Goku.

We don't really know if the Timebreakers exist in the anime or manga yet.

"Personally I'm beginning to think that the reason Black is after Trunks in the first place is due to him using time travel. Thus Black is bringing Trunks to justice for his use of Time Travel."

Except that Trunks' use of a time machine came as a complete shock to Black. If he was intended as a punishment for time travel, one would think he would know Trunks was capable of it.

And besides, if that was his purpose, that's still no reason for him to annihilate the human race. Punishing an entire species for the transgressions of a single individual is evil, not justice.

The universe really needs to stop trying to screw Trunks over. Yamcha gets less abuse.

...

This is true. He does.

Anyway, Black claimed he was punishing mankind, and that he'd done this to other worlds as well.

Lets not kid ourselves. He's full of shit. Mankind can't even leave it's own world yet, so I doubt they really committed any kind of crime.

Whether he has a reason (and that it's something valid) or he's just doing it because he can has yet to be determined.

Okay, guys. So.... I heard an alternate version of Goku is a villain in Super now.

Would anyone mind explaining the rationale for this to me? Because from the description I got it sounds weird.

There's not much explanation as to who Black Goku is yet, but there's some theories about him being related to the Kais.

It's someone named "Black" that looks like Goku but fights like a Supreme Kai.

Yeah, we know pretty much nothing about him except that he looks like Goku, but has pretty much none of Goku's personality traits, nor does he fight anything like Goku does.

So I just had three thoughts related to Trunks being in the past again.

1) Whenever Trunks travels back in time, he creates an alternate timeline that exists alongside the main one. Now that he's back again, it's possible that a certain series many of us disdain now has an opportunity to really exist.

I mean, GT can either be a timeline where Trunks never came back again, or it can be the timeline of Super. We can't be sure, but now it can be canon, even if it's not canon to Super.

2) Continuing on this alternate timeline kick, there may now be 4 timelines: The main timeline; the original timeline that Trunks came from; the GT timeline......and the timeline that Cell came from. You know, the one where Cell murdered Trunks just after he'd beaten the Androids, leaving the world with no more protectors, but also ridding it of it's attackers...unless Babidi succeeds in awakening Majin Buu.....or Black still shows up anyway...

....Shit.

3) Despite being SSJ 2, Trunks is still gonna flip his shit when he finds out his other self is already a Super Saiyan, and has been so since the age of 8. Even Gohan wasn't that powerful as a kid. I bet he never even considered he could have been that strong when he was that young.

Both.

Future one didn't become a Super Saiyan until much later, but Trunks still beat out Gohan by one year, with Goten being a year younger than him.

The universe really needs to stop trying to screw Trunks over. Yamcha gets less abuse.

My theory is that the well being of the multiverse somehow hinges upon Future Trunks' continued misery. Maybe if we make him cry enough, we can bring back those six universes Zeno waxed.
