King Kai doesn't ask because he likely doesn't really care himself. The reason that he wants Goku to get him ressed is probably a principles thing. "You killed me, you bring me back, ya dick".

After all, like I've already said, being alive or dead makes literally zero difference for him.

This may be a case where the principle of the thing isn't worth it.tongue

Anyway.....Masako brought up the point that it was odd that Bulma only kept one set of notes (I mean, she never thought to put all that stuff from the notebook on a computer) though if all that stuff was in the same place as the time machine, then it was likely destroyed, and I can see her being short sighted enough to leave all her eggs in one basket, as being massively short sighted is the reason we have Dragonball in the first place (she wanted the all powerful wish dragon to give her a boyfriend people).

In a world where computers exist, it's nonsensical that something would not have a computer back up somewhere.

It's even more nonsensical that Bulma wouldn't have a gazillion backups of something as important as the time machine.

Then again, this woman did intend to use the all powerful wishing dragon to get herself a boyfriend. Admittedly, finding someone that actually loved her for her and not for her money or good looks would've probably been hella difficult... but considering that without Goku she would've been super dead...

[up][up]I'm wondering how Beerus just snapped his fingers and the time machine exploded. That surprised me more than the harem Bulma apparently has on speed dial.

I mean...I guess he is a god of destruction...so he can just make things spontaneously combust if he wills it, I suppose. Even if they're not within eyesight.

Still was a random ability to just give him though, Toei.

Any other Dragon Ball character that can do that?

You're aware that both Nappa and Vegeta have displayed the ability to remotely cause explosions, right?

It's not some 'random power' they gave him.

It's something that has already been proven can be done with Ki, it's not much of a stretch that Beerus could do it. Much less so that Beerus can just randomly and spontaneously erase things from existence by going "Hakkai" and all that stuff. Hell, Goku can probably do it. Hell, most of the cast can probably do it. Probably not the same way Beerus does it, or with the same level of efficiency of power, but Nappa could do it.

Beerus couldn't have possibly known where the time machine was though. He just snapped his fingers, and it exploded. Didn't even see it's location. I mean it's not like the time machine has a power level for him to sense....

That, and Nappa and Vegeta didn't just snap their fingers when they did it, and were within eyesight of their targets. I guess I'm just putting too much relevancy into how the detonation occurred, but I'm more confused as to how Beerus just destroyed it without even knowing where it was. And he didn't even destroy anything else, it was just the time machine, so it's not like it was an Ao E attack.

He just snapped his fingers, and boom. It was magic-like.

That's nothing like Vegeta killing Cui.

Like, can Beerus destroy a refrigerator on the other side of the planet by just snapping his fingers, if he really wanted to?

He might have took a guess. Bulma is a scientist, so she'd keep her important invention in her lab.

Either that, or he was 100% aware that she was trying to build a new time machine, but didn't bother with stopping her because he didn't think she'd be able to get the final material for it.

When he found out she had found a way, he flexed his godly muscles, because he already knew exactly where it was.

That's just my guess though.

I'm only confused because if he already knew where it was, why not just destroy it from the start. No need to waste your time figuring out why Goku is in the center of the earth if you already know what she's up to.

...it's weird how the name "Dragonball Xenoverse" makes sense now. Well kind of. I thought Zeno was the "lord of everything" but I guess Whis didn't exactly say that, he's just able to wipe out multiple universes/survive once everything else has been destroyed. He's not omnipresent or omnipotent in any sense.

EDIT:Therefore the game being named "Xenoverse" would have had a double meaning with Zeno being the apparent "source/destroyer" of everything, so if the game itself were about all the parallel worlds in a multiverse, this multiverse would be named the "Zenoverse."

But since there can be alternate versions of him that are apparently unaware of events in other worlds, it doesn't quite work, since he isn't actually at "the center of everything."

Zeno seems pretty apathetic. He was about to kill the very people who summoned him for help. Just no regard for their safety. Didn't even seem like he cared after they came back for him either. Only seemed to care about Goku because he promised him something.

And now that I think about it, he didn't seem to care that Zamasu was killing off all of his gods either. Either that, or he didn't know, but I don't know how he wouldn't....

It sounds more like people were expecting Zeno to be like the Abrahamic God. I'd think at this point people would get that's not how it works here.

Well Piccolo did destroy all of the cameras at the budokai to hide Gohan's secret identity, not that it worked. He couldn't have gotten eye contact with every last one in that short amount of time, not without zip lines to show he was using that stealth super speed trick anyway.

[up]Yeah, if you had any doubts those should have been erased when you saw "god" had Piccolo's face.

If you're asking why a character in Dragon Ball doesn't do the smart thing right from the start instead of doing whatever they feel like when they feel like doing it, you're watching the wrong anime.

Shenron not being to stick around for long does explain why he's always hurrying people to make their wish.

Otherwise, it never made sense why he was always in such a hurry.

So...if Cell was revived, would he have the potential to become the most dangerous villain yet, barring Immortal Zamasu? I mean, he has Frieza's cells in him, so he could probably unlock his Golden form, and he'd actually be smart enough to master the thing before he tried getting revenge like Frieza did. Plus, considering the fact both Vegeta and Trunks apparently gained God ki through fucking osmosis, if either Goku or Vegeta failed to kill Cell there's the possibility that he could wind up absorbing God ki through a combination of that, his Zenkai ability, and his regeneration.

So I'm replaying The Legacy of Goku II and, good lord, kid me had the patience of a saint. I'm right at the Cell Games but wanted to get everyone to Level 50 first (the level cap) before I took on Cell because that should make my life a bit easier (and I'd have to do it eventually anyone since I want to 100% complete the game again).

Getting to level 50 takes so long. It took me, like, a solid half hour of grinding on end game enemies just to get half of the EXP I needed to go from Level 45 to Level 46. This is absolute hell.

I mean, Movie!Beerus stopped existing back in Resurrection F, and that was the same movie that had Whis telling Goku and Vegeta that they could potentially beat Beerus if they ever worked together; back when that 6-10-15 scale for God Goku, Beerus, and Whis was still being used.

[up][up]Fusions involving a Kai are probably what's permanent, otherwise Merged Zamassssss would have defused mid-battle just like Vegito.

[up][up][up]

It still involved a Kai and Old Kai is the dominant one.

In fact, the fact that both Old Supreme East Kai and Young East Supreme Kai were both the dominant part of their respective fusions helps show that it does work differently for Supreme Kais.

Plus, what was even that witch? Why was she in the Supreme Kai's world?
