Beerus is petty, but he's also lazy. If you cross him either for real or in his mind, he'll destroy you and anything you have, but if something/someone somehow escapes, he's too unmotivated to give chase beyond the strictly necessary.

I had always thought that Beerus wanted the Saiyans wiped out not because of the feast but because he knew they'd eventually pose a threat to the balance by destroying too much.

Okay, the feast may have been a part of it but I don't think it was the only part.

The Saiyans would not be a threat to the balance if they weren't a spacefaring race. Eventually they'd just wipe themselves out because they're more suicidal than the Krogan.

Which is kind of Freeza's fault, really.

He called King Vegeta rude when the man literally let him rest his feet on him, I can't see it as Beerus being anything but petty. Plus he seemed totally surprised a saiyan could defeat Frieza and was of course very pumped up for the prospect of fighting the "Super Saiyan God".

Most Saiyans can't destroy planets.

I think the worst thing about the Saiyans in Beerus's mind is that for all the hype they'd gotten in prophecy, they were too weak.

[up] When Beerus visited, that's probably true. However, it was noted that the Saiyans were getting stronger and stronger so it likely wouldn't have been too long before your average Saiyan could blow up a planet.

Give it a couple hundred years and they'd probably be horribly powerful and a bigger threat than Freeza ever was.

Beerus likes a good fight.

I wonder if the reason Battle of Gods is being changed in Super is a result of Demigra and the Time Patrol altering history.

Beerus and Whis try to go home after Demigra is defeated but Whis goes too far back, and they can't go to their temple because they're both already there.

The changes Xenoverse made to Battle of Gods are pretty great. Not only the whole pudding thing but also Beerus' ultimate "FUCK YOU" to Demigra.

Cue Trunks and Skot panicking because history is being fucked up and they can't do anything about it without getting in Beerus's way.

You know what would've been awesome?

If Xenoverse's AI wasn't shit so that fight could've been a lot cooler by having Beerus actually be helpful instead of just hindering my combos.

It's also in character for him to take fights seriously and he is very much pissed in that fight, considering Demigra interrupted his fight with the Super Saiyan God which he was looking forward to so much.

So really, it makes no sense why he'd hang back, particularly considering he's so against letting the player fight Demigra later.

...Maybe He wants to see how your Time Patroller does.

As He says to Whis, he never changes his mind about anything.

Maybe He planned to let the Time Patroller take care of Demigra the entire time and was just messing with them for the lulz?

I do hope someone explores the Fridge Logic of "The Saiyans are really a threat to the universe because they're too powerful".

I mean, the fact that the Super Saiyan transformation is just too convenient. It makes them too powerful without enough drawbacks. I'd really like it if it turns out that breaks the laws of the universe, or something.

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

Time Patrol doesn't alter history, just make alternate timelines have different futures, and that was just Trunks and Bulma. Time Breakers change history.(and I still don't rate Miira beyond SS2 Gohan as Cell couldn't hurt him either until his powerup, though I haven't played Xenoverse)

Anyway, when I mentioned time alterations a few pages back, I was thinking more along the lines of Whis type, since he was later revealed to be able to alter time and I've seen images of a Whis type that seemed to be official. I'm sure Demigra's appearance would make people happy though, the way I hear people talk about Xenoverse.

[up][up]Only two full-blooded Saiyans ever got the transformation.

...Well, okay, three, counting Bardock.

...Four if we count Broly.

Time Breakers change history.(and I still don't rate Miira beyond SS 2 Gohan as Cell couldn't hurt him either until his powerup, though I haven't played Xenoverse)

Mira is supposed to grow stronger.

And the Time Patrol is meant to fix the changes of the Time Breakers.

...And, in Xenoverse, Beerus and Whis suddenly showed up at the Time Nest after Demigra's mirage was beaten in the Battle of Gods saga. With the implication that Beerus and Whis headed straight there, skipping the ending of Battle of Gods.

And Beerus and Whis are in the ending of Xenoverse, having apparently watched the whole thing.

So it seems like the Time Patrol sorta accidentally created a timeline and/or fucked up history.

From the perspective of Goku, he passed out in space when Beerus was about to destroy Earth, then when he woke up Beerus and Whis and the other person that showed up suddenly vanished.

The Time Nest is in Year 850. The events of Battle of Gods have already long since passed. Whis and Beerus being there doesn't mean that there was a significant change to the timeline, at least, no more significant than the change that already happened.

Time Travel cannot create new timelines. There's exactly one person who's ever managed to do that, and that's Bulma possibly with help from Dr. Briefs, and that shit is not going to happen again so long as the Supreme Kai of Time has any say on the matter.

I'm going to assume the Supreme Kai of Time doesn't like Bulma very much.

You'd be pissed if someone screwed up things like Bulma did (by creating a Time-travel machine) and you had to fix it.

Actually, considering Bulma makes so much of the stuff that's used in the Time Nest... I'd say the Supreme Kai of Time likes her very, very much. Particularly because Time Patrol Trunks did not inherit his mother's genius.
