If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.

Earth must be viewed has a near desert shithole if sending a baby with a powerlevel of like 6 is viewed as enough. Freeza was probably going to barely make a space-profit off of it.

Dragon Ball Minus's explanation was that Bardock and Gine specifically sent Goku off to earth becasue of the low powered inhabitants, Thus he would be safe, they instructed him not to look up at the moon and if everything turned out alright they would come get him.

Young Raditz at the time was paired with Vegeta who decided to ignore the summons back to planet Vegeta. So that's how Raditz and Vegeta survived. Not sure how Nappa did. Also not sure why a low ranking warrior like Raditz was sent to accompany the Prince of ALL SAIYANS



I do know there is one SD Dragon Ball chapter that has "What if Vegeta and Raditz came to earth and trained with Young goku a bit."



I really hope there's a translation somewhere...

I think you're all forgetting that Beerus never actually used his full power. Yeah, Vegeta got mad and powered up and surprised Beerus momentarily, but once the shock wore off, Beerus knocked him out with a flick.

Vegetto wouldn't last long, because Beerus would know what to expect and would actually use his power.

SSG Gogeta, on the other hand, that would an interesting fight.

Hahaha, what the gently caress. Beerus is based on Toriyama's sick cat, no it can't be killed by a cartoon character, no matter how "real" it is.

That's sort of the point about Battle of Gods, there are opponents out there, where no matter how sick nasty you are at punching poo poo, you just cannot punch hard enough.

That is why Vegeta was able to punch Beerus, it wasn't because he had raw power, he had a purpose that exceeded Beerus'.

If you were to give a powerlevel to Beerus, it'd be an infinite 0. That's the point. Immeasurable by their standards.

It's really lazy, they're supposed to be kids but the author (no, it's not Toriyama) just takes their adult designs and makes their heads huge to show they are children (which only makes it more confusing since adults also have bigger heads than normal). The kid versions of 17 and 18 are also exactly the same, even same clothes.

Or in short, it's the same as the 21st World Martial Arts Tournament with Jackie Chun, to remind them all that there is ALWAYS someone stronger, something higher, a level they haven't reached.

Yes, though I have a hard time imagining why there's be a reason for Toriyama to write it so that Beerus would somehow end up weaker than Goku or Vegeta, though he might offer them the positions as new Gods, which is what I think the purpose of the training is.

Well from the look of it, Whis is training them, Beerus is just sleeping, Beerus would want them trained so he has someone to fight against honestly.

So basically the rationale behind Beerus being immune to Mortal ki is that mortals can't sense god ki and Beerus shrugs off a ki attack like every other DBZ antagonist does at one point or another?

Basically, he never actually says he's immune to mortal Ki, Goku just says "I can't sense his energy" and King Kai scolds him for thinking he could sense a God. And he no sells Galick Gun and the Kamehameha, which says more about Beerus than it does about his immunity.

For what it's worth, when I said "real" I meant "real" as in the canon Vegetto from the Buu Saga and not a potentially nerfed version for BoG (see: not-quite-Mystic Gohan). Not "real" as in "real-life".

Still, even canon Vegetto was just able to no sell Super Buuhan. Beerus defeated Buu and Mystic Gohan in the same attack. Vegeta only caught him by surprise for a moment and then was immediately defeated. Super Sayian 3 Goku was defeated in a single strike as well. "Canon" Veggeto would last longer, but, ultimately, Beerus would win.

To be honest, considering how strong he is and how he was only using like 3/4 of his power against SSG Goku, I really doubt any of the Z-Warriors -- no matter what ridiculous combo or transformation they take -- could beat him at 100%. Even SSG Gogeta (which is impossible due to the rules of fusion) would likely defuse before he was able to land the killing blow....assuming he was strong enough to do so.

Why is SSG Gogeta impossible? Acknowledging the limited fusion time, that's not something impossible, just a super strict time limit that means it probably wouldn't win, but the event itself isn't impossible.

SSG itself had a super-short time limit. That is one of its stated weaknesses. Fusion has a short time limit made shorter by using high-powered forms. It's not impossible it could happen but would probably last like 5 seconds.

Did SSG really have a short time limit? Beerus explained that Goku basically assimilated the power-up, for all we know he could have held it as long as Super Saiyan otherwise.

The God form itself ran out after a few minutes, but Goku's body 'learned' from the experience and he retained a chunk of that power.

Yes. The legendary SSG failed because he ran out of power and Goku's form vanished midway through the battle. Beerus even told him he wasn't one anymore.

What I like about these conversations is the idea that Vegito would have a static power level, and not just be, you know, the fusion of Goku and Vegeta's current strength.

So if a really angry Vegeta can at least draw blood, then it only follows that Vegito would be able to as well. He wouldn't be able to win an actual full-on fight, probably, but at least he'd get Beerus interested without having to go SSG.

And if he went SSG, well.

Yeah but he also tells Goku he's still fighting at the same level. Either way, if the same thing happens with Vegeta they wouldn't need SSG Gogeta because SSG would only be a marginal boost anyway.
