That is only going to get her very angry.

And Goku too would be angry.

You don't want those two angry

Alright we know what that means.

Someone’s gotta kill Krillen again, any takers for his current life?

I mean, Broly is right there.

@unnoun That'd be a decent way to help 18 catch up. The thing is, I don't think she's meant to be in a different boat to 17.

Her power was limited compared to 18 but the same is true for 17 compared to 16. That seems to only apply to the power Gero built them with, not their capacity for growth.

[up] It's a helluva lot better than the multitudes of fanfic ideas (and even some video game stories) of 18 being put in danger so Kuririn can save her.

Super 18 & 18 (Super) when?

Yo.

Yes I know it's actually Super 17 with 18 absorbed.

[up][up][up] Totyally agreed! [tup]

Let 18 do the saving, for Godsake she’s the stronger one of the relationship.

Krillen should always be the damsel.

Um, let's see

Spared her by breaking the remote and then tried to save her from cell (but failed), took the bombs out of her and her brother with a wish after carrying her all the way to the lookout, tried to save her and his frinds from Buu (also failed), saved her from Bio-Broly and saved her from being eliminated in the TOP.

Jesus 18, do you also suffer from Love Makes You Dumb when Krillin is around? He really is a walking limiter for you.

I'm sure it's preference. Toriyama has shown that he can use serious characters as comic relief, as he does with Piccolo and Vegeta. The exact same style of jokes could work with Ten, which is probably part of the issue - he already has straight men to work with.

That seems to be a thing with him. He creates a character, decides he doesn't like them, or doesn't really do anything with them or whatever, but keeps them around even as he creates another character who's better at the job than the one he first made.

I guess the question is what was it about Tien that made him decide he wanted to do someone else instead?

Give Roshi someone uglier.

Since when is Roshi still handsome.

He's not Rusev people.

...though I probably would get a laugh out of him calling himself Handsome Roshi.

Trunks was technically present in all broly fights too.

Also, Ultra instinct Roshi could take on Jiren. Broly stands no chance.

I mean. Base Broly can apparently wreck Super Saiyan Blue.

When he turns green I dunno what he can do, but.

He might make Jiren look like a bitch.

Kamiccolo Since: May, 2018
#88894: Oct 25th 2018 at 7:38:56 PM

I kinda doubt that. Jiren is stronger than the Gods of Destruction; it's just about his most notable attribute. If Broly is stronger than Jiren, then he's far stronger than Beerus. If Broly is far stronger than Beerus, Goku and Vegeta will have to get that strong to beat him... and Toriyama doesn't seem to want to sacrifice the current dynamic with those three. I'd bet good money that Goku's hasty It Only Works Once line about Mastered Ultra Instinct at the end of the tournament only exists to preserve the Fixed Relative Strength and keep Goku, Vegeta, and their future foes below Beerus. This is backed up by the fact that Ultra Instinct probably isn't in the film, and from the model sheets, neither are "SSBE" and "SSBKK".

I mean Broly is getting the standard "most powerful foe ever!" hype in promotions and such, but those don't really mean anything (Jiren got the same hype and I doubt he's more powerful than Multiversal Zamasu; Beerus got very similar "strongest in the history of Dragon Ball" hype and he was weaker than Whis in his own movie). It would be amusing if he was somehow stronger than Multiversal Zamasu though. Then his power truly would be maximum.

Now that I think about it, didn't GT do kinda the same thing we're talking about with 18? 17 kills Krillin in front of her, and then she later avenges him by helping Goku take him out.

Once again shonen escalation is fucking nonsense.

It’s like if every succeeding Marvel movie villain gets Thanos level hype all the time.

It doesn’t work.

[up] That they did, thet they did. 18 actually helped Goku kill Super 17.

@Rob That seems pretty obvious. Ten's character arc had concluded, while Piccolo and Vegeta started their arcs after that.
