Yeah, they all would have Saiyan cells, yeah? Like, what's the ratio at which the SSG ritual won't work for you? Because 25% Saiyan is demonstrably enough.

Edit:

That could be the enemy for the next movie. Re perfection of C. They fight the Super Cellan God.

Apparently a few channels have gotten sponsorships from Square to do promotion things with A Realm Reborn.

I suppose it depends on whether Cell and his Cell Jrs. qualify as pure-hearted. The ritual doesn't specify a required percentage of Saiyan. It's "Pure-Hearted Saiyans" not "Pure Saiyan Hearts."

Pure Is Not Good as Vegeta proved when he became a Super Saiyan in the first place, so "He's evil therefore not pure-hearted" is right out the window as far as arguments go. I'm honestly not sure.

But in Xenoverse Goku said he needs anyone with a righteous heart.

I could have sworn the Super Saiyan God ritual specifically required pure good Saiyans.

Well, it's not like all it takes for the Super Saiyan God is Saiyan genes... it takes pretty extraordinary people to do it, considering it never happened when the Saiyans were around as a normal race, you know?

  1. It happened at least once in the ancient past.
  2. It's a ritual, not a transformation or stage of development, so it cannot happen by accident or happenstance. It must be deliberately invoked.
  3. Said ritual was forgotten so long ago that even the god-entities of the setting have no idea what it is or how it works anymore. They literally had to wish on a magic dragon to tell them how to do it because that knowledge is lost.

All things considered, I'm not surprised a Super Saiyan God hasn't emerged at any point in recorded history.

Nor am I.

Between plain Vanilla Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan God, the Saiyans really should have developed some kind of recording system with Do this to get this in big bold letters.

Would have served them well honestly. Imagine if they'd known about that when Frieza decided to wreck their shit?

That's the problem with a barbarian culture "Warrior Race." They don't always do things in the smartest way.

The correct answer to a barbarian's riddle is to choke on your cleverness and die.

I think the whole point is you need righteous hearts, not just pure hearts. That is, you need 6 Saiyans who aren't total dicks. That in itself is pretty difficult. I don't think Cell Jrs would qualify.

Interesting. Considering Pan, it seems the righteousness check is an innocent until proven guilty thing.

So, all it is needed is one good Sayan and five pregnant mothers. Seems doable.

So I was watching part of the fight between Goku and Piccolo from Dragon Ball...and DAMN, was Piccolo different. I mean, he acted like a complete psychopath towards Goku.

Kind of makes me glad Piccolo trained Gohan instead of Goku. It resulted in Piccolo becoming an ally finally.

To be fair, Piccolo was like 7 years old at the time.

Wait, how old was Gohan when Raditz showed up?

Gohan was four. Piccolo at the 23rd was only 3. Remember that all of King Piccolo's kids grew to full size instantly.

When he reincarnated, Piccolo gained a capacity for good. Goku mentions that he's not as evil as Daimao was. But it still took the catalyst of raising Gohan for him to live up to that potential.

My headcanon is that Piccolo acquiring a conscience as a consequence of his reincarnation is a product of gaining a complete moral compass. He's the same guy, but in a fresh new body with a fresh new mind. Piccolo Daimao was only half a person. Think of it like this:

  • Nameless Namekian - 1 part Evil, 1 part Good
  • God - 1 part Good
  • Piccolo Daimao - 1 part Evil
  • Piccolo Jr. - 2 parts Evil, 1 part Good
  • Piccolo Reunited - 2 parts Evil, 2 parts Good

Wouldn't he end up as 3 parts evil, 3 parts good, since, you know, Nail?

I don't think so. His fusion with Piccolo is different that Piccolo and Kami becoming one again. Nothing of Nail existed after the fact.

How is it different. Same technique. If nothing of Nail exists, neither does anything of Kami.
