It should take a couple of seconds for them to target every single human and do a Super Buu. They're taking their time because there's literally zero reason to hurry.

Well, there's a possibility that neither Black-masu nor Immortal-masu knows that kind of technique.

But yeah, them just taking their time makes sense. So I guess my they're just dicks theory ain't so right.

I mean, Black did appear above Earth and tell them he was killing them off in the name of justice with a big ass grin on his face. He was clearly enjoy making humanity suffer.

And who can blame him. Not often you can mix work and play like that.

@unnoun Given that Beerus is also meant to be a master martial artist, he should be able to consciously lower his battle power down to near zero like the other fighters.

Wouldn't that be incredibly difficult for him to do? Like, that could possibly be the equivalent of like a trillionth of a percent, if not lower.

Yes. But as the characters became more skilled, they got better at suppressing their power, and Beerus has partial mastery of a technique that is beyond Goku and Vegeta so he is incredibly skilled himself.

The unnamed one where your body moves automatically to dodge attacks. Whis is a master of it, Beerus hasn't fully mastered it, and Goku and Vegeta aren't there yet.

You mean moving on pure instinct? Doesn't Medaka from Medaka Box do that all the time?

But she's a Parody Sue in one of the most meta manga ever made. Being ridiculous is the point of her character, and when something like the moon crashing into the Earth is considered life-threatening, inconsistent as well.

I mean, it's not like she actually has that many high-scale feats to her name, beyond creating pocket universes or whatever that was.

I can think of at least three characters from it who can easily solve this without Medaka, so I can't figure out why they don't do so. I don't really like the meta genre, outside of the humor, so Medaka Box wasn't interesting to me.

I don't think there's any doubt that Beerus is highly skilled. He caught Piccolo's punches with chopsticks and proceeded to judo-throw him without breaking the sticks.

Also, the fact that Bulma even survived getting slapped by Beerus shows he's more than capable of restraining his power.

Beerus has probably spent the past few million years getting his teeth slapped in by Whis periodically - he must've picked something up in that time.

Has the show ever specified whether all Gods of Destruction are weaker than their assistants, or could it just be the case with Beerus and Champa?

I'd wager that relationship stays consistent with the rest of the Go Ds. Maybe with some few exceptions.

Me too. The exceptions would likely come in an 'unexpected' fashion - like we would get a super big and burly God and a tiny attendant, and when we're all following the trope, they'd throw a curve ball and make it so that the God is just as strong as he 'looks'.

So for this tournament, think they'll bring up why it's Roshi and Tenshinhan instead of Goten and Trunks? Because even unfused those two have to be miles ahead of the former. It'll be easy enough to explain too, but do you think they'll actually bother?

I imagine Roshi initially tags along solely for the hot alien space babes.

Sounds about right.cool

It may also be that they don't want Goten and Trunks anywhere near such a fight since they are so young.

Goku perhaps no longer thinks it's right to send kids out to fight.
