Just because it's funny, I choose to believe that she defeated all of them while Trunks and Goten were taking a nap.

Seriously though, I think I would've liked to see Trunks, Goten and Marron have some kind of small adventure.

Yeah I'm pretty sure the damage is meant to show only Goten and Trunks did any fighting.

There's been one line of dialogue from 18 that implies she might not be weak, and absolutely nothing else. It would be a very strange decision for the writers to decide that she is really strong but never show it or do anything with it.

Yeah, even Dragon Ball Fusions had Bra fight you after she points out that being half-Saiyan automatically gives her superstrength.

So in honor of Infinity War I gotta ask:

How much would Frieza kill just to get the Infinity Gauntlet? tongue

...Well, he would now.

Before Toriyama went crazy with his element of poison I believe Goku would have tried to avoid such a thing.

What's really bad is you can't brute force an Infinity Gauntlet.

At least not without an object of similar or equal power......... like another Infinity Gauntlet.

Goku said he wouldn't complain if Vegeta killed Semi-perfect Cell, which means not just that he doesn't care if he never sees Cell's perfect form, but he doesn't care if he misses out on fighting Cell at all.

Would Goku even be interesting in fighting something like the Infinity Gauntlet?

In fairness in that situation he can then fight Vegeta and that's the only reason Vegeta is even alive

Actually, the Infinity Gauntlet wouldn't do a damn thing to Goku. It wouldn't even work on Farmer with Shotgun. The thing about the Infinity Stones is that they only work in their home universe and on things from there. If Goku were to fight Thanos on his home turf then the Gauntlet wouldn't do anything directly to him and if they were to fight in U7 then the Gauntlet may as well be a child's toy for all the good it'll do.

I don't know about only affecting things directly from there but the only work in same universe is correct.

In JLA/Avengers Darkseid got the Infinity Gauntlet, realized it was worthless in the DCU and just threw it into the waiting crowd of scavenger hunters. Also lasers.

I think the more important question is which Avenger would Goku pick a fight with first? Probably Thor or the Hulk, maybe Captain Marvel when she enters the picture.

Then again the initial conceit of intercompany crossovers is that both characters exist in the same universe so an Infinity Gauntlet would work if we go by those rules

How has dragon ball handled crossovers with other IP? Discounting Dr Slump because written by the same guy and apparently part of the same setting all along except when it's not

[up] I know there've been a few specials that had Dragon Ball cross over with One Piece. Haven't seem them, though.

There was the One Piece / Toriko / DBZ crossover, where the main characters of all three series fought. I didn't see it myself, but goku was apparently shown to be superior to Luffy and Toriko.

Actually, the Infinity Gauntlet wouldn't do a damn thing to Goku. It wouldn't even work on Farmer with Shotgun. The thing about the Infinity Stones is that they only work in their home universe and on things from there. If Goku were to fight Thanos on his home turf then the Gauntlet wouldn't do anything directly to him and if they were to fight in U7 then the Gauntlet may as well be a child's toy for all the good it'll do.

So in other words, the villain has a power that would be a Game-Breaker and should totally win them the fight, but Goku is conveniently immune to it or something happens to prevent said villain from using it on him? Sounds like business as usual.

Did that crossover involve explicit cross universal travel or was it just sort of implied that they exist in the same world despite them all having different settings that do not overlap really

Thanos just needs the video games version of the infinity gauntlet which works in any kind of crossover.

Anything that’s 4 dimensional or above wrecks Goku anyway.

Don’t need an infinity gauntlet to do that.

They didn't even try to give any kind of explanation for the trio crossover. Actually, all three franchises were pretty heavily nerfed. Goku was shown to be just barely stronger than Toriko and Luffy, but the gap between them was narrow enough that Toriko and Luffy plausibly stood a chance. It came out before Luffy had Gear 4th, and all of the characters in it are noticeably weaker than they should be. It has things like Luffy deciding the best way to climb a mountain is to slowly rappel his way up it using his stretchy arms and Toriko feels like he's at the start of his series.

Yep.

End of Manga Toriko would be a worthy opponent for any dragon ball character, really.
