Let's not get out of hand, first have Goku conquer his fishbowl and then move on to the bigger one later.

I mean, Saitama is the only fighter of note in that universe beyond Boros and Garou; everyone else would lose to the humans of this universe.

But Saitama just existing it brings the curve so far up that it's kind of ridiculous - because Saitama is the One Punch Man, that's the joke.

Incidentally, if Super was consistent with how absurdly powerful the characters are, Goku could actually pose something of a threat to Saitama, with the whole 'our clashes are destroying the universe' thing he had going on with Beerus.

-whistles nonchalantly-

I mean, Goku is never going to beat Beerus, unless he learns to negate whatever the f'ck Beerus did to Zamasu. He might as well go after other universes. He's already pursued people from other alternate universes to find newer challenges.

On a different note, I feel like Goku using a ki blast as defibrillator hasn't been brought up all that much.

I mean. I don't know if that's cool or dumb.

Piccolo did the same for Gohan in Resurrection 'F'.

I admit I forgot about that, but Goku's version involved firing it into the sky and having it return and hit him!

And Piccolo's wasn't as flashy.

Well, Goku did it to himself, I assume that is a bit more difficult than doing it on someone else.

Yeah, the manga has more exposition and padding, leading to even worse pacing.

Piccolo, Tien & Yamcha Use Kaio-ken

I don't get it. Since you disagree with the video, why'd you post it without saying such? It makes it look like you were using it as evidence. Unless you meant it as evidence of how fans mistakenly interpret things as evidence they have the Kaio-ken.

But yeah, the white auras (and other special effects seen on Piccolo and Ten) are just Toei being fancy. They often add all sort of special effects and accents that have no greater meaning or consistency to them, it's just style.

[up]x6 The problem is I think it is the first time a ki blast has been affected by gravity in that manner. Every blast that goes up just keeps going till it hits space.

Goku having sex is weird but not Vegeta, him and Bulma's classic When a Jerk Loves a Tsundere just screams an aggressive sexual relationship by both of them.

Wait, Freeza, Majin Boo, Cell and other old foes that Goku and co. have fought. Is that just going to be minions like the Ginyu Force or are we actually getting some Dragon Ball villain love?

Well, given that it's Goku and Krillin of all people I'd imagine it probably is going to use the older villains.

If Boss Rabbit, Tao, Cyborg General Blue, or Ninja Murasaki turn up I'll nominate this for best episode of Super yet.

[down] And it took me a couple of seconds. Paradise grass is just a metaphor for Roshi sending his old pupils out to score him some weed.

I don't know what's better: Goku and Krillin getting high and seeing all of their old foes again, or Gohan challenging Goku as the Great Saiyaman.

it's very likely to be an illusion caused by the grass, them returning to fight is literally Goku's idea of paradise.

[up] none of them were really 'strong' combat wise for Goku and Krillin to see as a good match, King Piccolo would be the likely one. Although with Krillin there it's likely to be Nappa.
