So Super!Goku should kill Beerus, right?

He's welcome to try.

Try being the key word.

Weird that Beerus becomes so chummy with the Z-Fighters later on.

Why make him an even bigger douche when he becomes a rather jovial friend afterwards?

He shouldn't kill Beers, he just needs to beat him in order to become friends.

All obvious answers.

But then again, King Kai warned Goku against fighting Freeza, and look how that turned out. It actually ended up working out okay.

That's the reoccuring thing with Goku, his more "selfish" actions tend to get vindicated in the story so he's never really faced with the reality of owning up to the consequences or he just shrugs it off and it's never brought up again.

In fairness, Elder Kai is probably still bitter over being turned into a sword. After being rude.

An attempt at character development for Beerus, perhaps?

Watching the dub and it's my first time seeing the infamous episode 5. The fighting there is still pretty embarrassing even after the fixes, but I'm really enjoying the dialogue. Vegeta throwing shade on Yamcha followed by King Kai throwing shade on Vegeta had me rolling.

The dub has been really good so far. The humor has been on point.

Honestly, King Kai's been the best part of the dub so far.

DB is just one of those animes you just gotta watch in the Dub. At least for me, cause I've been watching this shit since before Kindergarten.

I think I was less then 5 at the time & Jesus I'm 19 now. Time is a fast-acting bitch.

Guys, i'm scared. What if Zamasu managed to do something to Goku or the Omni-King?

I was only joking! I don't want Zamasu back, he is going to ruin everything!

No. Zamasu being back would ruin everything. He already overstayed his welcome significantly. At least IMO.

Most children can understand a concept like 'being at the side of a woman from your family when she's going through a difficult time like having a baby, that's a decent thing to do'.

Super!Goku is not childish. He's just plain unable to understand basic human empathy by this point.

Did Goku really skimp out on the birth of Bulma's second child just to go train some more with Whis & Beerus?

Isn't she his oldest friend?

It's not so much he would miss it, it's that he even wouldn't understand why Vegeta wouldn't want to miss it.

When the guy who started out pulling genocide on planets all across a galaxy shows more capacity to develop empathy than you, well, hoo boy.

Not that it makes Goku look like less of an asshole, but the mindset "the baby's not coming out of you" is unfortunately not that uncommon for situations like this.

It's really weird how Goku went from a great dad at the beginning of Z to whatever this shallow caricature of him now is.

He was only a great dad because presumably...during the time-skip: Nothing Happened.

And he wasn't as focused on training as he is obsessed with it now.

Goku seems pretty good when he's actual around, but circumstances either keep him away or his general nature of not "getting" family gets in the way.

I have to say though, I find it kind of funny how people act like Vegeta being a better father than Goku says something big. Relatively, I guess, but in ordinary terms Vegeta's not particularly good either.
