If no one's going to say otherwise, my use of DBM as an example is pretty reasonable, then.

So I had a few thoughts:

  • I asked earlier how super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Vegetto might have faired against Beerus, but now I'm wondering how regular Vegetto would have fared. I'm thinking maybe Super Saiyan 3 might have come out.

  • Speaking of, it dawns on me that Goku should have tried using Ssj 3 in the same style as Kaiouken.

Short bursts instead of a long run. It would let him use it with a reduced drain on energy.

Well, I mean, as far as I've been made aware, his version of Vegetto isn't significantly different from canon Vegetto.

Salagir's Vegito is nothing more than his own personal Fridge Horror. If you want to believe that's how Vegito would really be like, we can't stop you but that's different from saying that's what canon Vegito really is.

Fridge Horror?

Did I miss something? Because I didn't read all the way through it.

So you're basing your interpretation of canon on a fanfic you haven't actually finished?

Can I say something? I never understood why people criticize Vegetto for letting himself get absorbed instead of just killing Buuhan. Vegetto was probably working under the assumption that killing Buuhan wouldn't necessarily free his family and Piccolo and there was a possibility that killing Buu wouldn't release them.

Actually, do we have any proof that killing him would work? For all we know, if Vegetto killed Buuhan than Buuhan would've appeared in the afterlife with all the people he absorbed still absorbed or killing Buuhan might've straight-up erased his family and Piccolo from existence.

I liked Vegetto playing it safe when it came to Buu because Buu murders gods and is a pink bubblegum Eldritch Abomination, who knows how he works.

Is it weird that my biggest DB disappointment was that, by the Buu Saga, even Piccolo was left in the dust? It doesn't bother me with humans very much. Just him. Why couldn't Toriyama pull out a bunch of new Namekian powerups to have him keep up with the Saiyans?

Because there weren't any other Namekians left and its not like Piccolo is wholly outclassed, he's still the strongest non-saiyan character among the cast, its not saying a whole lot because he's still sidelined, but its something.

[up][up] I mean, Super Saiyan having further stages wasn't really foreshadowed, so why can't Namekians have other powerups nobody knows about it?

[up]

He either didn't think of it, or didn't care to try. Or maybe he was sick of giving everyone power-ups.

No thoughts on either of my earlier ideas? Handsome Rob must be the centre of attention!!!

I think SSJ 3 couldn't work like Kaioken just for the obscene amount of time it seems to take to power up to transform.

Because what I've seen of it, it's in line of the character of Vegetto.

Besides, we didn't really see much of Vegetto, and I'm talking about how the story would work with Vegetto still around and not really how Vegetto acts.

Just remember that's speculation on your end, not canon.

Vegetto needing to eat a pile of Senzu Beans every day just to avoid starving to death is a tad absurd. None of the other characters ate more than they normally did regardless of how powerful they got. Goku eats just as much during the Cell Saga as he did during the Pilaf Saga.

Also, what story after Buu? Until recently, there was no story after Buu.

As for Vegetto's personality in DBM, going off of the character page, I really don't agree with it.

I'm more talking about way everything happened with Vegetto sticking around.

He's an incredibly powerful character and nothing is a threat ever to him. All the other characters are sidelined, because how can they measure up to him?

That's what I'm talking about.

That's what happened with Goku and Vegeta in canon anyway so there really isn't a difference.

Actually, there is now. Vegetto isn't stronger than Beerus and, without the appropriate number of Saiyans, the Super Saiyan God ritual cannot happen. Beerus then blows up Earth and kills everyone.

It sure seemed like you were referring to Vegito's personality from last page. If ALL you were hypothesizing was what ROLE Vegito would have then it would have done us a lot of good for you to have said so in the first place.

I'm really curious as to how Super is going to treat the children. I was just looking at everyone's screentime in the opening as a clue, and...it seems like they'll be relevant at least for a little while.

I mean, worst case scenario, they'll introduce new characters in Universe 6 who are on Goku/Vegeta's new level, and they'll get all the screentime, and the hybrids will join the B-Team, and the humans will become the C-Team.

But I hope that doesn't happen. The humans at least had genetic reasons as to why they Can't Catch Up. The children don't, unless they make up one.

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