I believe so.

Yeah, I was surprised to see Miss Piiza and Caroni again. I suppose there's no reason why they can't be canon for the anime.

It's not like they matter one way or another.

Only Big Van Vader can be Big Van Vader.

Everyone else is just cosplaying.

Edit: I wouldn't mind actually knowing what the Beautiful Flying Rose Attack actually does.

It's like Keep your eye on the Birdie. It doesn't get a chance to live up to the hype, because people keep stopping it.

Xenoverse could do it. Xenoverse has an excuse to work in the filler, after all, since it can always be a runaway time crystal fragment or something.

[up]One has to wonder why people who already have improbably cool names think they need a stage name. I mean, your name is White Lion! That's the kind of thing you call a majorly badass knight in shining armor!

Goten is already better than Gohan. He just made his family 100 million zeni richer and got his dad off the hook with Chichi to go train like he wants as well as helping his dad work a tractor.

What has Gohan ever done for his family, I ask you?

So messed up. [lol]

I like how Goten, despite being like eight and a dumbass, is still able to figure out something Goku can't.

The focus on Goten/Trunks was nice, to allow them to develop as individuals. But judging from the opening they aren't axing Gotenks either, which is good.

I don't if it's just me, but it feels like Goten is going to get a big role in this series. I mean, he's very prominent in this episode, he's got a slight redesign in his battle outfit (they got rid of the sleeves), and he's on the ending card.

Perhaps it's just him taking over Gohan's role as "Goku's little kid" for real this time. But it's interesting. He seems to be getting a lot more focus than Trunks.

The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!

Jus as long as it's not "The Goku and Vegeta dong around in other universes show" I think I'll be pretty happy.

Well, when it comes to the action it likely will be unless the BoG and RF arcs are significantly changed.

But at least the breather episodes look like they'll find time for others.

#20392: Jul 5th 2015 at 8:51:09 PM

@Lol: I think that might be because this episode focused on Goku's family, whereas the next episode will focus more on Vegeta's family.

Also, why has Goku not taught anyone else the instant transmission technique?

You think there'll be any returning characters outside the main cast? Launch? 17? Various Tournament opponents?

[up][up]

I don't know.

We actually discussed how no one teaches anybody anything in this series (most people learned techniques by seeing them as opposed to being taught).

I mean, Roshi didn't teach anyone the Kamehameha. Every fucking Yamcha figured it out on his own (before Krillin did to be exact).

And of course, King Kai never taught anyone else the Kaioken, which is odd, since, going by the logic of pre Raditz Dragonball, the others would have been able to learn it because they always learn the stuff Goku did after he learned it.

(I know, in universe, they didn't learn it because there was no real point, due to Frieza beefing the Power Levels well beyond the point of anyone being able to keep up).

Ya know, Roshi was able to figure out a transformation only humans seem to know. (Max Power)

What if he teaches the other humans the transformation so they could figure out a way to perfect it, since all that extra muscle is obviously gonna put a strain on the body.

A perfected Max Power form could be a human's version of SSJ.


Also, a theory I've been cooking up recently:

What if the reason Kaioken puts a ton of strain on the user is because it's using their body to convert a person's inert godly ki into usable normal, readable ki.

I mean, a god did create the transformation.

IIRC King Kai himself never quite perfected Kaioken or Spirit Bomb, and apparently neither did any of his previous students.

Goku clearly did, since he got up to times 20. There was no indication he put his body under any stress when he did it either.

Of course, that was only possible due to Zenkai, so it's still useless to anyone else.

I'm frustrated that something like that was introduced, just to be abandoned to be honest.

Wait, how did Babidi survive Vegeta's explosion?

And yeah, the Kaioken is kind of a wasted technique.

What I'm trying to say is, what if perfecting Kaioken is the key to unlocking Human Gods?
