Truthfully, it seems that all it takes to make Beerus blow up a planet is whether he feels like it or not.

The guy is as fickle as the wind.

Come to think of it, the pre-Z parts had a number of really strange "powers" that were never properly explained. Stuff like Blue's telekinesis, Launch's transforming, Baba's Psychic Powers and the various weird people she has working for her...

Probably part of the show's initial gag nature.

They could do that stuff because. Launch in particular seems to be just a gag thing that had no more thought put into it.

She's still completely non-existent in Super. Sure, she wouldn't be able to do shit, but come on Toriyama! People do still remember.

Funnily enough, she did have a cameo in the 2008 special.

I'm kinda hoping she shows up in Bulma's birthday party in Super, but i won't hold my breath.

[up] Given that Tien supposedly has alien blood in him, that may not be as far-fetched as it seems.

Still, I don't want DB to use Doing In the Wizard for EVERYTHING. Can't we just say the Earth has mystical stuff, as well?

Dragon Ball never really did in the wizard. Alien magic is still magic.

Psychic powers are also considered more soft sci-fi than magic, to begin with.

Remember when I said that Mira had a new transformation card? Turns out that the new form was Mira's SECOND transformation!

So here's how it goes:

Mira (Base Form)

Mira (Runaway/True Form)

And now, Mira (Super Form)

He becomes vein-ier and vein-ier with each new form...

[up]Their names always confound me too. "Towa" sounds like a masculine name, and "Mira" sounds feminine.

Towa really put in work on him.

[up][up][up][up] Here's the thing though, DBH only usually gives characters existing what-if transformations. (i.e. SSJ, Majin, Baby, Absorption, etc...)

Here, they're literally giving Mira new, never-before seen, forms. Why would Dimps give him, of all people, new forms?

No, what I mean is, this isn't Super Saiyan, this isn't a Majin control, nor is it a Buu or Android absorption, nor is it a fusion or anything.

This is Runaway Mira and Super Mira.

How strong is Mira anyway?

[up][up][up] They gave Nuova and Eis new transformations not related to anything.

The fact that they usually do stuff that's been done before is more to do with how uncreative they are than anything else.

Not that Mira's new forms are terribly creative or anything.

@alekos23

Nah, not even close. Maybe a fourth of a Dumplin, but probably closer to a fifth. Mira got pwned pretty badly by Dumplin.

What level is Mira at his highest?We could use SSJ 3 Goku's level as a comparison.

This idea isn't flawed at all.

He was definitely weaker than SSJ 3 Goku, though. I mean, Dumplin had trouble with the Mini Buus, which Goku was curbstomping individually, and Dumplin pwnzorized Mira.
