and goku and vegeta fuze to attempt to beat Jiren

at the last second they power up to max and lose all their stamina and split into two people again

I hope Gohan continues with his Mystic form into using straight up magic.

He can start by learning the Clothes Beam.

Yeah, the Z-Fighters desperately need a magic user in the group. Magic in the Dragonball universe is really powerful and useful, especially for things that require more finesse than strong punching. Babidi had all sort of really neat powers that no one else has been able to duplicate.

Though, most of Roshis techniques are more like spells than martial arts moves anyway.

Goku will be devastated because he didn't actually win via beating the guy.

Not really. Vegetto's thing is that he acted dumb, but in reality he was completely on the ball, and all of his dumb moments were entirely to lead Buu into absorbing him so he could save everyone. He acted as if he was made from the worst parts of Goku and Vegeta (easy-going and arrogant) but in reality he was hyper-focused, just his main focus was saving people instead of just eliminating Buu instantly, and he had no way to know his fusion would come undone in an hour because neither Kaioshin told his parts about it.

Super made it even more clear that Vegetto's Gotenks-like dumbness was absolutely a facade, his fight with Zamasu, as brief as it was, showed him being intensely competent, with just a hint of arrogance that barely mattered in the face of Vegetto Blue's overwhelming power.

GT turned Gogeta into Gotenks. Idiotic, focused on useless moves, and ultimately a gigantic waste of time. It's bad enough that Xenoverse 2 outright considers both Gogetas completely separate characters, if they fight, Super Saiyan Gogeta criticizes his GT self's carelessness (something like "it doesn't matter how strong you are, lower your guard and you'll get hurt").

This does imply that the time limit for the earring fusion might not be TRULY canon, if you just go by Toriyama.

Since he didn't come up with the idea of Vegito Blue, he likely didn't put in a note saying that it wasn't permanent anymore.

So if it becomes a plot point in the manga, like Kelfa MIGHT be?, it might not have the time limit anymore.

This just isn't true.

GT Gogeta is exactly like Vegeto in it's style, which is very different from Gogeta.

People always forget this, but GT Gogeta's loving around and silly moves was because the world was completely hosed by Omega Shenron's negative energy; the lead up to and including the fight against Omega Shenron from the Shadow Dragons to the fight itself was super repeating how terrible the world was; entire cities were being destroyed by earthquakes and storms, fish were dying and fishing villages starving; some of it was by the Dragons but other was just from the fact the world was super hosed up from the Negative Energy. He hosed around to taunt Omega Shenron into gathering all of the Negative Energy in his body and using it as a weapon against Gogeta, which he then turned into positive energy using his own energy and kicked it into the sky, where it helped fix the world. It was basically straight up magic, akin to some of the stuff Gogeta and Gotenks did. He then immediately went to destroy Omega, but ran out of time. And he ran out of time the same way Vegeto did against Goku Black; he was so strong the Fusion lasted 15 minutes instead of 30, and no one could have known that.

While it's true that GT was bad, it's really disingenuous to act like SS4 Gogeta was doing something really stupid like Gotenks; he was clearly intending to be a 100% recreate of Vegeto except with no Potaros they used the dance, because that's a lot of what GT was; taking a really neat idea and making it into a poor retread of something from DBZ instead.

Explicitly yes, due to Gohan's training outfit in the Buu saga.

They're going to say that, because the World of Void is outside reality, conventional time and space doesn't apply to it. The potaro fusion will last as long as it needs to (please ignore all other instances of time being relevant in this tournament)

Bullshit it ain't gonna win you a fight. Clothes Beam is a better version of the Solar Flare. What enemy can defend against having a bright, hot pink BADMAN shirt thrown at them? Clothes Beam is the best goddamn technique and I will not tolerate it being disparaged. :colbert:
