To prevent the Shadow Dragons from ever happening. After all, what is one teeny-tiny planet to the entire goddamned universe?

[up] That doesn't make sense. The Dragon Balls were created in the first place to help humanity, so the "blow everyone the fuck up" part doesn't gel with that goal.

And if he wanted to avoided shadow dragons he wouldn't have created the regular Dragon Balls.

Wasn't the explanation that Kami made them before he gave King Piccolo the heave-ho? So I guess he was kinda evil back then.

Bills is still on a different tier altogether as gods powers can't be measured in energy.

You look happy, I can change that if you want.

The reason for the Dragon Balls scattering, in the manga, was so they could be the catalyst for journeys and the like.

Maybe the Nameless Namekians was like "Aw shit, this is gonna be one rockin' journey, scouring the universe to prevent Earth from going BOOM!" and then realised:

A) Humanity didn't have good space travel at the time; and
B) That idea was fucking stupid anyway

So he sealed them up.

[up] So what? That means only Gods can sense the power of other Gods because they have an energy other than ki. Not that they're in another tier of power. Kaio can sense Beers and he's nowhere near as strong as the people who can't.

The Nameless Namek made the Black Star balls as a way to impress the previous Guardian and prove to him that he was worthy of the job.

And then the Guardian was like "so your great feat to prove your worthiness of being Guardian of the Earth...is to create something that can destroy the Earth?"

Nameless Namek: Yes.

You see, it works. People might think the guy got cheated when he lost all that power by splitting into two but in exchange for dropping millions in terms of Power Level, he gained millions in Intelligence Level.

More specifically, the Kai are not mean to destroy but to create. Bills is just meant to destroy, so he is a "stronger" god in areas of destruction.

Kinda reminds me of an entry on the Asuras Wrath Fridge Brilliance page. Chakravartin is incredibly powerful, but can't kill Asura. Why? He's the creator. He sucks at destroying things.

He tries something like that. He throws a black hole at him. It doesn't work.

@Nikkolas That's actually an alright idea (given the stupidity of the plot in the first place): The previous Guardian is impressed by the idea of the dragon balls and the moral about hard work > cheating, but then explains that humans don't have that tech yet, so drop the planet buster and have the spread of the dragon balls scale the fuck down to just earth, and the job goes to one Nameless Namek.

[down] Right, that to.

Also spoiler spoiler spoiler alert for the new movie as I don't believe this was posted. The in depth summery of the movie

http://www.kanzenshuu.com/movie/battle-of-gods/synopsis/

From what I can tell of this summery. Yeah I am right Bills is just on another tier of power as battle power no matter how high just does not stack up to him.

You look happy, I can change that if you want.

[up][up] No, that's not what it means. It just means that the battle power of everyone in Goku still isn't enough to match up to Beers.

Also, it turns out Whis was not confirmed to be stronger than Beers, just stronger than SSG Goku. For anyone who is interested. So it's possible that Beers really is the strongest.

In fact, Whis is apparently not a God, which makes puts a hole in your theory with him being stronger than Goku.

Freeza really was the strongest in the Universe in the manga but the EU really fucks with that.

What about Yakon?

Yakon had plenty of time to train since Freeza's death and he lived on a planet of total darkness anyway and so might not have been as notorious as a galactic empire building planet salesmen.

Yakon has nothing that necessitates putting him above Freeza. Gohan seems to think that Goku and him should team up to fight him, but only because he thinks Goku shouldn't use Super Saiyan.

@Saiga I never said that Whis was stronger.

Still I don't think any GT villains sound more impressive then Bills. (I watched all of GT as well) Also Whis was not able to be sensed ether or they would have have remarked on his stupidly high power level.

[up][up][up] He was one of Bibidi's Elite (Not) Mooks that Goku and co. demolished. He ate light and had a power level of...uh, something weird that only Bibidi used which makes it worthless to compare to others.

The best we got out of him was that Bibidi said that with a certain number of his measuring scale you could destroy a planet.

Honestly there has been way too much speculation about those losers. Some people have really struggled to find out just where Pui Pui stands compared to previous fighters.

Fucking PUI PUI.
