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.

idk I think the open chest hair shirt was dumber than that

So, Harvey, what became of the giant penny?

They actually let him keep it.
It's a little messed up that Buu still looks like Shin's old boss. If Shin wanted to wish his Supreme Kai friends out of Buu, would Goku be like, "Nah, we like Buu now?"

I dont think you could make that wish on regular dragon balls they would need to be Super ones in which case it's not really just up to Goku. And even when it is... well look at King Kai.

I think a funny twist would be that Shin gets killed in front of the main cast by some new enemy and Beerus thinks his time is up, but nothing happens because his life link is actually to Buu since Buu absorbed the Grand Supreme Kai but technically didn't kill him.

Bonus points for Beerus realizing he came horrifyingly close to accidentally committing suicide when fighting Buu back during the pudding incident.

Now Whis's comments to goku about "Hey wanna be a GoD?" make sense, he figures beerus is going to murk himself and is preparing to groom a replacement.

There's still always Old Kai, if the link could transfer back as some kind of fail-safe.

Did Goku tank the minefield of energy because he had a chi barrier up during Blue? I guess he (technically) didn't make his classic mistake of letting his guard down this time, he just brute forced his way in. Very Goku.

Well that chapter at least made the pecking order in the manga clear. Even with mastered Blue, Beerus just completely bodies Vegeta the moment he gets serious.

Everything changes, Pit.
Even gods.

I'm hoping Goku's new form thing is explicitly not a 'super saiyan' something, and is instead maybe a form other species can achieve too. just to give everybody something to aim for

but the odds of that are probably pretty low

That may be less pecking order and more it being someone who isn't Goku.

I'm thinking it might have to do with controlling Energy of Destruction. They made a pretty big point of Frieza being able to manipulate it and Goku attempting to, and GoD seems to be the next "bar" to pass for fighters around their level.

If that's true, then anyone from Saiyans to Androids to Magical Girls could potentially attain it. Which would be awesome!

No see Goku did EXACTLY what he had to

By racing through the wires, he unnerved and freaked out the Pride Trooper just enough to send him into a panic, leaving him open for a possible defeat

Using a burst of Blue was a calculation to achieve that and have enough for the follow up to knock him senseless, and it drat well worked

Your insistence that Beerus cannot be surpassed when he's shown constant panic over Goku's ever growing power (and had Whis outright say "There is an example of a mortal stronger than Destroyers HINT HINT HINT HINT HINT HINT HINT HINT HINT HINT HINT HINT HINT HINT HINT HINT HINT HINT HINT HINT HINT oh is that parfait") is equally as strange, especially in a show where even the opening title talks about 'breaking walls' and limits while on the cosmic stage

Goku is stronger or going to be stronger than Beerus and to me that is an entirely foregone conclusion and the point of this whole dumb goddamn punchshow

The chapter very explicitly points out that Vegeta is on par with Goku before Beerus wrecks his poo poo.

The newest chapter has Whis hammering home the "You need to move your body without thinking" thing that they've been talking about since RoF, and points out that it is something even Beerus hasn't mastered. Presumably the Z crew will surpass Beerus when one of them (probably Goku tbh) eventually figures out how to do this.

Tho its hard to say he's on par when Goku still has Kaioken which at least doubles his power even if for some reason times ten doesn't actually mean times ten.

In the manga he hasn't used the Kaio-Ken. Which sucks.

I never said it's never going to happen, just that it isn't any time soon, and the thread seems disproportionately obsessed with it

I'm sure Goku will beat Beerus in a fight! Just like in the very last episode.
