You are now picturing a male and a female majin having a beam struggle like Gohan and Cell's while shouting "MALE!" and "FEMALE!" at each other.

And Love Love Beam is a really odd thing to call your penis, by the way.

Probably.

'Love Beam' would've been enough. Love Love is just too much.

Well I'm glad you told me, because I was going to extend it to three loves and see if that helped.

[up][up]You do not disappoint, Mr. Handsome Rob.

[up]That child would get no real bonus from being an Uchiha, though. Saiyans are too mentally resilient to benefit from their trauma-and-insanity powered eyes.

The hybrids we do know witness some pretty horrifying imagery and go through some pretty horrible things.

I mean, Gohan's father was killed and he was kidnapped by his father's killer and then forced to live alone in the wilderness for six months and then was trained by his father's killer. Then he watched said father's killer whom he'd grown to love and respect as a father figure die protecting him. Then he went to Namek at which point he saw the guy he'd come to respect over having been allies in such tense and stressful situations get blown the hell up, his father figure hit with an attack that seemed to murder him again this time while protecting his actual father, then he watched his father become a Nazi Ubermensch Rage Monster, literally seeing Goku lose his shit for the first time in his life and outright yell at him. To make matters worse, then his father refused to come back home after everything was said and done.

Of course, then there's that time he spent three years training with his father and father figure, only to find out he was still pathetically weak after that and couldn't help when he was needed. The androids then showed up and Gohan saw his father fall to a heart virus that would've killed him permanently and which he was saved from through something that is just a bit less unlikely than Divine Whis Intervention. Then there's the year he spent training in the Room of Many Names, in which he suffered horrifically because he knew he needed to be ready and thus needed to be put through horrifyingly tough training.

Then he killed his first opponent for the first time ever after being tortured, watching his friends and family be tortured, and the first ever permanent death of someone whom he respected.

I'd like to remind you that after all of this he became a goofy superhero that makes silly poses and is all about heroics made for the sake of heroics. He is also rarely seen not smiling when under normal circumstances.

Then there's Goten and Trunks going through all the things they went through in the Buu saga, like being the reason all their friends and family are dead (because they goofed around too long), being eaten by Majin Buu themselves, Goten got to meet his father for the first time... and then lost said father forever when he returned to the land of the dead this time for realzies yo...

Saiyans, even Saiyan-human hybrids, laugh at psychology.

Except I'm pretty sure the whole "seeing an enemy's movements" would benefit them greatly.

That and the Sharingan is basically the Narutoverse's Super Saiyan anyways.

IIRC, the Sharingan does that by reading chakra.

Which is useless against opponents that don't have chakra, like everyone not born in the Naruto world.

Ultimately, the Sharingan actually isn't that overpowered outside the Naruto world.

Hell, the Super Saiyan transformation is a million times more overpowered, because it's a multiplier to every stat without any side effects that can't be trained away by just spending more time transformed and it can be extended all the way to x400 if you train the hell out of it. And while you train it, you're also training your body much more efficiently than you could if you weren't using it.

So, really... if I had to choose a buff from an anime or manga that I could have, I would totes choose the Super Saiyan transformation. Tons of pros with very little in the way of cons. I'd even get to disguise my identity with different hair and eye color so I could be a super hero, or super villain, without people recognizing me.

The Sharingan only starts getting intolerably overpowered once you start going into the Bullshit Abilities the Mangekyo Sharingan has, which, as I said, a Saiyan wouldn't develop because they shrug off things that would leave many others traumatized for life.

Chakra is essentially just the Chi / Ki of the Naruto world isn't it?

It's a mix of physical and spiritual energies.

I'd say Ki is, at the very least, analogous.

[up][up][up] You wouldn't take one of Boo's powers?

Because seriously, if everything in our world was the same, I'd snap up Boo's antennae beam. Create anything I want, heal people, turn my own arm into chocolate and then bring it back with the beam... it'd be amazing.

The Sharingan predicted the opponent by reading the movements of their muscles.

@Handsome Rob

Eh, I guess that's fine. From what I heard, the exchange rate for Handsome Rob's to US Currency roughly amounts to ten Handsome Robs for one penny anyways, it's not a good bargain.

10 Handsome Rob's for a penny?

Nay friend! 1 Handsome Rob is worth at least a cool 1,000,000!

And that's if you're lucky. Handsome Rob is damn near priceless. I just let you guys charge a million because it's the cheapest price.tongue

So, I made a joke Wild Mass Guessing that they'd use the new universe to incorporate movie characters into the series.

I don't expect it to happen, but if there were any movie villains you'd want to see (barring Broli, because fuck broli, and Garlic Jr., since he already made it in, Continuity Snarl and all), is there anyone you'd want to see.

The best part is if you want, you can tweak their Power Level so they aren't quite as strong as the saiyans, or maybe have some of them attack while Goku and Vegeta are fighting other guys or something.

What time does Super start in Japan? We should probably try to spoiler tag it for at least a day so posters that are sleeping when the episode goes up doesn't see "Vegeta kills Goku and takes Gohan and goes to the center of the universe to train him to fight Naruto!" the moment they check the thread to see if the episode is up.

I never understood why anyone would think a day is appropriate for this sort of thing. What's the point? Just say the episode is out and spoiler the first five or so like normal.

I said Buff, not technique. If I could have a technique, yeah, I'd take Buu's magic beam of omnipotence over Super Saiyan.

So, if you could be any species in Dragon Ball, is there any doubt that the correct choice is Majin?

I mean...

You're basically immortal short of pissing off Beerus or being some kind of super villain that some plucky hero will work his ass off to defeat, you get the antennae beam of overpoweredness, you can reshape yourself to your will or even turn into steam, you can eat people to learn their abilities and become smarter... What's there not to love?

I hope Toriyama doesn't take this as an opportunity to do Evil Alternate Counterparts. Evil Goku, Evil Krillin, Good Vegeta, etc.
