I'm really digging the new paradigm of Super Saiyan God and Super Saiyan Blue. God form is faster, almost no stamina hit, and has self-healing as evidenced by Goku's first fight with Beerus. Blue is more physically taxing but has a much higher power output. I'm loving Goku switching between Speed form and Power form for brief bursts.

This is what the episode said, and that blue was an extra burst of speed and power over ssg.

Wait, if super saiyan god red was just enough to make a good effort against beerus, then Super Saiyan Blue is...what in this scenario? Still a hair shy of taking down gods of destructos?

The problem is blue takes a lot more energy. Red couldn't last the entire Beerus fight, blue would have given out sooner.

Every SSJ form besides 2 and Blue are basically "crappier but more energy efficient" except SSJ3 which is superior but blows through energy like woah. It's only really coming into play in the ToP because they actively have to conserve stamina because they're fighting a bunch of battles in a row without senzu beans.

Two questions:
1) has anyone played the DBS card game? If so tell me what you think.
It's fun and relatively cheap for a TCG

Much like did in the Frieza fight in base and using kaioken in bursts

Such a fun punch mans episode, the back and forth with techniques felt like older Dragon Ball stuff, but Champa continues to steal serious moments by being a complete goon. Vados is such a good carer for that lovable face.

I'm really pumped for a Roshi episode, the foreshadowing during the recruitment arc that he might die could come true, but seeing him use some sweet kung fu with all the gods commentating is going to be great.

Super Saiyin God/Red Aura is base Saiyin+God Ki which is >>> Than any super saiyin form.

Super Saiyin Blue is going into a super saiyin boost in God form. It's better than red but costs more stamina similar to how Normal goku vs. SSJ Goku work.

It's not a power vs. speed form Goku's just maximizing his output while minimizing energy costs by toggling the Blue.

So basically Goku could have been using Red this whole time since he got it, and he technically was whenever he was Blue, but it was the newest hottest power form so he just dumped God like it was the Kaioken post-Namek and exclusively went Red+Gold for that sweet Blue

THEN he added Kaioken on top of that because Goku is out of his loving mind and is slamming on templates and buffs like he was running D&D in 2003

Next thing you know he'll figure out a way to fight as blue with kaioken and have the genki dama sucking in energy the whole time to create the infinite fighting saiyan madman he was destined to be.

It's actually Pathfinder or 5e at this point.

Yeah the fact that the Blue Kaioken hosed him up make sense cause he's stacking like three booster forms at once.

I don't think SSB Kaioken even hurts Goku anymore, he's mastered that.

SSB Kaioken x10 might, since he never did it again after Hit.

Black August
Sep 28, 2003

He can clearly Kaioken it at a x2 without being risky, but yeah x10 seemed more like Goku experimenting with the new edge to push, and Christ knows what that means now after so much training and time

Besides the new form and the possible horror of "He can stack Kaioken on top of THAT too"

Yes, though he also gains a strong desire to drop an asteroid onto the Earth for some reason.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

The dumbest thing is how Goku becomes an adult again when he's a Super Saiyan 4 and swaps between being 8 year old size and 50 year old between frames.

If you're going to make Goku a kid again, which was really dumb, at least commit properly to that.
