Alright, fair point that fusions haven't really ever worked. I think it's about as likely as Ultra Instinct Goku just beating the guy, but I could see Goku and Freeza fusing for a couple reasons. One is the same reason they worked together at the end of the TOP: for the hype of having archenemies working together. The other is that the movie is supposedly shining a spotlight on the history of the Saiyans and Freeza.

Of course, we know so little about the film that any major predictions being accurate are a matter of luck more than anything.

Goku can't fuse with Frieza. Metamoran fusion has been written out of the series outside of Gotenks and Frieza doesn't have any ears.

You do well, hahaha. You do well.

Made sure to check, but the fact that this is a voice clip for a hard hit in BT3 is actually kind of funny.

He only says it after a gut check...so is fine.

[up][up][up]Just because barely anyone uses dance fusions these days doesn't mean they're literally incapable of doing so.

It's actually Vegeta who has the problem with Fusion.

Goku has zero issues about it cause he doesn't give flying a fuck about pride.

That's a nice thing GT did actually. Have Vegeta be the one to suggest using fusion to show his growth.

I don't have any theory about this green dude. Sadly, the only idea I have is that the guy, if he is Yamoshi,somehow survived Planet Sadala destruction and was trapped on ice on a distant planet, and awakened thanks to Frieza conquering planets. (I could buy a SS God survived a bunch of Oozarus, but whatever)

Either that, or he time-traveled, which is just wonderful, more time traveling, because the series isn't confusing enough with that.

There is very little to work with. Beerus, Frieza and the To P were easier to guess. Goku Black was kinda challenging, even if he was simple.

We only have a teaser, and new guy doesn't give me anything to work with outside of "Hey, Broly and Kale's energy!"

I just realized that Jiren attacking the stands wasn't against the rules, and it wasn't the first time that happened, either. 18 fired a small laser as a warning to cut Shin's cheek when he was getting caught up in lovey-dovey-ness from her beating Ribrianne.

Attacking the stands is something they probably didn’t even consider while making the rules. Because logically, why would you? The Go D’s and Angels are sitting there, so they could stop any attack that came their way. It would probably be given an Obvious Rule Patch if they have another tournament.

That seems like a technicality against the tournament spirit all the same.

The whole tournament was one big ol entrapment so maybe they didn't make rules against it intentionally

The chances of Zeno going "some people I don't care about almost got blasted, so I'm going to stop this cool-ass fight" are 0%.

Yeah, the only "outside interference" rule was specifically against losers interrupting the cool fights happening in the arena.

#82919: Apr 5th 2018 at 12:48:26 PM

I mean, by that logic you'd think there wouldn't be a no-killing rule then, but there was. Presumably that would be the first thought, not "no outside interference".

Pretty sure the no-killing rule was in place to further increase sympathy from the MVP of the tournament because of the other reason it was being held.

#82921: Apr 5th 2018 at 12:58:37 PM

How does ordering them not to kill for fear of disqualification and potential erasure increase sympathy? The type of person that would ostensibly win the tournament presumably wouldn't be killing their opponents even without being penalized.

Goku and Gohan wouldn't need to be told not to kill people, for example.

It's kind of a moot point. Is there really much difference between killing your foe in the arena and condemning their universe to die anyway?

At the very least, the final KO scored against a universe might as well be a kill since the universe dies immediately after.

Essentially, you have to hold back and keep them alive in combat. You can't dehumanize your opponents like you'd have an easier time doing if you could kill them. You also have to watch all the people you fought get erased from existence together, scared and helpless, 7 times over.

LSBK Since: Sep, 2014
#82924: Apr 5th 2018 at 1:07:31 PM

That's basically just you assuming that without explicitly being told not to, everyone would be killing everyone. If the Zenos actually thought that's how that would work and no one would restrain themselves, the entire "secret test" was pointless because they'd already know that no one would care enough to bring back the destroyed universes.

More to the point, the characters already had reason to hold back and conserve energy, and considering how much smug gloating and torture was going on, no, I don't think the "no-dehumanization" worked out too well.

Though there is the chance that if you made the kill cool enough the Zeno might let it slide like they had done with a few other rules that got bent in the tournament of power.
