Dragon Balls? Are they tasty?

To be fair if you believe Xenoverse then Future Gohan also had his own unique Super Saiyan Form


And the pre-split Kami/Piccolo was named "Katas".. It's the first time I've heard that name mentioned. Like, ever.

Just because Babidi is dead doesn't mean Buu is sealed forever. Someone could just go to Hell and learn the spell from him, hes around.

Everyone just chilling in hell is a Toei invention.

The only person we saw in hell was Freeza, and he was stuck in his own personal hell where he couldn't even get out of a cocoon. And people in heaven are just spirits unless they are allowed to keep their body with special permission.

If Xenoverse says that they got it mixed up. There's a line where Guru refers to the pre-split Namekian as "the child of Katas" but obviously that isn't the dude's name.

I just checked and the Wiki agrees with me:

http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Katas

quote:

Katas (カタッツ) was an ancient Namekian and the father of the Nameless Namekian

As I said, if Xenoverse said that was the Nameless Namekian's name then they made a mistake or it was mistranslated.

A Super Saiyan Ningen Super Saiyan (SSNSS for short, translated as SSMSS or SSHSS in the unofficial subtitles)

You can do better than that. Super Saiyan Sinner Super Saiyan!

Which, yeah, is not SS2. It could be a different transformation track that the main cast didn't realise existed at all, or it could be something unique to Trunks. I'd like to think it's something you can only get by totally rejecting divinity and the willpower required for that (where god ki is about trying to reach that level). That would make it edgelordy as gently caress, but I mean, pretty much every part of the Future Trunks saga is super edgy, from evil Goku to an evil Kaioshin that wants to pass divine judgement to Trunks becoming a Godslayer who has literal dialogue about accepting his place as a sinner in defiance of gods.

Is Kibito a deity, if the Potara fusion between him and Supreme Kai is permanent?

Does Zamasu, as Goku Black, count as a deity if his Potara fusion to regular Zamasu is permanent?

If you really, REALLY wanna conjecture about unseen (and likely to not be explained) stuff, assume that both Vegeta and Trunks picked up the Blue form thru training with Whis' methodology - Trunks just didn't have the time to master it/Vegeta wasn't that good of a trainer/Trunks being half-human means he doesn't go full Blue. He was able to unlock a bit of that power thru Saiyan anger tho, and there's precedent for half-Saiyans to have a way easier time reaching transformations than the full-breeds.

Kibito is a deity, yes. He's a Shinjin like the Kaios and Kaioshins, but apparently of lower rank. The Super manga even points out that Kibito has a low opinion on mortals.

It's hard to say where Goku Black falls. Vegetto points out that the now-Fused Zamasu will always have a mortal inside of him, but at the same time, Black was Zamasu at first. Fusions gives his race as Otherworlder like the other deities rather than Saiyan, but that's hardly a perfect source. That said, we never see Fusion Zamasu break up and they don't seem to think it will happen, so we can assume that Black still counts as a deity.

Black also has a form of super saiyan unique to him--the only floating explanation for what the hell super saiyan rose is, is "super saiyan with the soul of a god." Somehow, the mechanics of a super saiyan transcend genetics and the physical body, and fusion might do that as well.

Even if he does not. It's probably permanent just because one half of the fusion is a deity.

Elder Kai got fused with a Crone so I am guessing it's permanent so long as one part of it is a god.

Way i see it, its not the strain of power up what limits fusion time, its the power itself. Like a ningen is a computer but a fusion is an unplugged laptop with high end specs, it may be running ssb.exe extremely smoothly but the high performance mode being used will drain the battery in minutes.

I love the time limit if only because Vegitto is off the table as an option to beat Beerus. If Goku and Vegeta wanna beat him they need to actually work together.

But it wasn't really an option to defeat Beerus before. The reason Goku and Vegeta fused this time was because they were in a life or death situation where all hope seemed lost, and even then Vegeta had to be talked into it. Unless Beerus decided to try and destroy Earth again, there is no reason for Goku and Vegeta to consider fusing to defeat him because they both want to reach that level on their own.

I know, they never would've done it, but least I always thought "oh, but if they had to, Vegitto so would win, maybe Whis saying they'd be unstoppable together is hinting to that.." and now that's entirely out of the window because even in a scenario as desperate as this one Vegitto would only last like ten minutes or something.

Like, it wouldn't have happened, but just the thought of "Vegitto would win now." was in the back of my head and now it's been shattered and i'm kinda hyped.

There is absolutely no indication that pre-god Vegeto would have had any significant success against Beerus? You can make arguments about SSB Vegeto but that is why the time limit is a good thing. It means Goku and Vegeta's solution to the "how to beat Beerus" issue isn't just a fusion.

Vegeto wouldn't, but Vegeta might've.

They're totally within their legal rights to work on a prototype without having the rights to use the license. Screenshots/videos of the prototype are fine too. It's when they release it that it becomes a problem, and presumably they'd work together with Funimation before they went to kickstarter.

I think there'd have been less objections to Vegito's outing if he'd gotten a decent killshot off before he defused, that could even be why he defused. Super's been quite light on the setpiece attacks in general, but Final Flash Kamehameha was shot with less impact than the Masenko and Galick Gun Trunks did on Black a few episodes back which is kinda lame if you think about it, like do you remember the scene where Vegeta created Final Flash, or when Goku used the Warp Kamehameha? I think if the director had at least committed to that attack, give Zamasu an 'oh poo poo!' moment before having Vegito defuse from the sheer scope of his attack before it could seal the deal I think fans would feel a little less blueballed by his exit.

Overall it's been a fantastic arc though, a few misgivings about the style of the fights aside. Zamasu's been a top-class villain, every major scene Trunks was involved in was insanely cool, VEGITO! Only seen the last five or so episodes but glad Super seems to have finally pulled itself together.

As Beerus later said while the burst in power caught him offguard. It still did not hurt him and it just means he had to put next to no effort to beat him instead of no effort.

Mystic Gohan was some cheatcode bullshit though, he slacked for a decade and then tried to catch up by having his 'potential' released for the tenth time. Vegito is the fusion of the two most fightingest men in existence, it's right and good that Trunks got the kill but he at least deserved a finisher that would wrack up 3 million views on youtube or something of the sort.

Vegito would have felt better to me if they knew it was going to be a super short fusion and were going all-out frantically, trying to beat Zamasu before they lost the fusion. Would have made it really tense and fun

I thought Vegito getting cast off like that was pretty funny in a way. Like yeah we all saw him coming but who saw a fusion getting chumped for the kill shot like that? I thought it was pretty funny.

Maybe I was too excited by the idea of a spirit bomb moonlight greatsword which then actually happened

No one knows how Buu's body works. Just because that de-fusion occurred doesn't mean we should take it as the reason and cause for the de-fusion. Taking everything as a matter of fact ruins canon.

No one knows how Potaras works because the Kais don't mingle with ningen unless it's necessary. Do they even have a manual for it? Have they actually tried to experiment with them by using it on ningen? Are they just talking out of their rear end?

Praise the writers for exposing the dirty ningens and their canon bible on Gokuism.
