Authors can't do whatever they want...they have to do whatever the vocal minority wants.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Toriyama has shown that he does as he pleases.
I do wish he'd used what he'd already established in the series for dishing out power-ups however.
I'm curious as to how Toyotarou will handle the characters getting stronger for the tournament however.
One Strip! One Strip!
He usually does. Dragon Ball is a very consistent series when you look at just the manga and not Toei's bullshit. We have absolutely no idea what part of this is Toriyama's doing and what's Toei's until the manga gets there.
Well the humans getting involved at all is all Toriyama, same with Frieza coming back again, just like how Goku forgetting the Mafuba seal, never kissing Chichi, and Vegito coming back with a time limit were all Toriyama; he's also probably the one who retconned it so there's only one Supreme Kai per universe now, making Shin's entire backstory into something that makes no sense under the new cosmology.
Let's see if you can get past my Beelzemon. Mephiles, WARP SHINKA!Or there is only 1 Grand Supreme Kai and that is who we have been seeing in the other universes, ours just got a Field Promotion. Which could explain why U7 is lagging behind.

Except we've only ever seen one Supreme Kai and their attendant, none of them are referred to as Grand Supreme Kai, and the only other Shinjin we've seen is Zamasu, who was specifically stated to be a former Kai of great power who was being trained to succeed the current Supreme Kai Gowasu.
Let's see if you can get past my Beelzemon. Mephiles, WARP SHINKA!I'm baffled as to the only one Kai retcon, considering it totally buggers Shin's backstory.
Perhaps, after what Buu did, they changed things in other universes to match, but the most logical (HA!) explanation is that the guy they called Dai Kaioshin was just the Kaioshin of his universe, and the other were apprentices like Zamasu who all had the potential to succeed him, until Pure Buu (I like Kid Buu better) came along and gave our boy Shin an accidental Klingon Promotion.
One Strip! One Strip!I figure that certain abilities can draw out some portion of a person's latent ability. It's just that Guru was only able to draw out so much. Then, old Kai was able to draw more of that well.
And then Super reverted that.
It's kind of funny to remember that Gohan was treated as super strong as recently as when Xenoverse 1 came out.
I have a message from another time...![]()
Maybe not now but things were a lot more consistent than people actually give credit for.
And honestly, the "unlocking" potential more than once doesn't seem particularly unreasonable to me. The potential of a someone as a child, and the same person as an adult is going to be different.

Isn't this the guy who outright admitted he forgot Launch existed? And forgot SSJ3 existed

Let's see if you can get past my Beelzemon. Mephiles, WARP SHINKA!One bit of Xenoverse dialogue that amuses me is Whis musing that SS 4 Goku would make a good Destroyer, if he accepted the offer.
Whis, don't try to start a power-level discussion between Super and GT, of all things.
I have a message from another time...Yes, but counterpoint, he's also the one who decided to make his manga/show based entirely around transformation/forms and power up. So keeping track of them sort of comes with the territory. And he's got no one to blame but himself for his failure to do so. So asking that author to be consistent with his power ups seems to really not grasp the man.

We have absolutely no idea how Gero powered up Lapis and Lazuli. All we know is that it was done biomechanically which could mean any one of a billion things.
Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!
