That is a downright insane leap in power. Like, insane is clearly too minor of a word to describe it, but no word in the English language is fantastical enough to truly capture it, so I'm going with insane.

I... Wow. That's a ridiculous leap.

Clearly it needs to be topped by powering up Farmer with Shotgun to Grand Priest levels.

Go home, Dragon Ball franchise.

You're tripping balls on bath salts.

The power of edge was too much for Beerus.

To be fair, Dragon Ball is no stranger to edge.....what with Vegeta and all.

Honestly, once Beerus is surpassed, there will be no where else to go.

I mean, what we've just been told is ridiculous, but one day, Goku is going to have to surpass Beerus...because he eventually surpasses everyone.

Dragon Ball will find a way to introduce the next level considering that theme of Dragon Ball is endless self improvement, they will find a way.

There comes a point where it gets ridiculous.

Most of the cast have been rendered utterly useless via this constant upping of the stakes and power levels.

I think that the point where characters were capable of destroying whole planets was the point where no one really needed to get any stronger...though I admit this is flawed. The Gods of Destruction would have probably been less interesting if they weren't monumentally more powerful than everyone else in the franchise.

Funny thing, I actually think the Kais are more interesting gods: anyone can destroy, but being able to create entire planets is a power not many have.

It's one of the stuff he's implied to be capable off, but really we've only seen him lounging around in the World of the Kais drinking tea lately.

This has to stop.

Endless improvement can't actually be endless, it has to end at some point.

They both share blame honestly.

I disagree. If Beerus had actually been awake and doing his job, Buu would have never rampaged in the first place, and then maybe Shin could have received the proper training he needed to do his job (from his ancestor, who wasn't there because Cat-Asshole sealed him up in a sword for petty reasons).

I know we all rag on Shin for not doing this, and not doing that, but we don't see what he was doing before he shows up in the series (for all we know, he could have been doing an excellent job).

Also, Buu escaping wasn't totally his failure: true, he made the mistake of not being aware of how powerful Goku, Gohan and Vegeta were, but there were multiple points where they could have salvaged that and prevented the entire thing, but the Saiyans (Goku and Vegeta more than anyone else) ignored him at every point they could to satisfy their fight boners.

Both the super manga and anime show what happens when he works with someone who actually follows his suggestions.

Which raises the question of whether Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan is really a god thing or a frustration thing.

I mean, I should probably regret using the term Fight boners, but I'm near positive we phrased it that way before.

Why is it getting jokes now?

This is a conspiracy! A conspiracy to slander my good name!
