One other thing to realize too- Vegeta only vaporized Buu with the Final Explosion because Buu made NO EFFORT TO STOP IT OR DEFEND

Buu was just letting it happen and see where it went. And that was a move that literally killed Vegeta on the spot, used up all of his energy so he turned to stone.

Hit might have been able to beat Buu down, but it'd be a tough one. Now that he's had more time to acclimate to god-level fighters he should be able to but you never know

It's really cool we get to see 17, 18, and Tien again but why didn't they bring in Pikkon or Uub??

They could even have done a thing where Uub and Buu merged again for a power up for a really strong enemy and they could have sold the U7 team are now down a fighter!

If you're going to make the best team possible for universe seven, wish back Cell, Dabura, and Golden Freeza, because gently caress it, it'll all be erased anyway if they lose. Goku is already going to have a bigger kill count than any of them because of his stupidity. Who cares about good or evil with all of your existence on the line.

I wasn't dumb enough to watch anything past the first 4 episodes of GT so excuse my ignorance to it, but I don't think Toriyama was a fan of it either anyway

I just looked it up and saw the words "Super Baby Vegeta 2" and that's probably a good indication I didn't miss anything good

I would revive Bibidi over Dabura. He could give everyone awesome buffing spells before their match.

even if you're allowed to kill your opponent it's pretty hard to beat Buu unless you're pulling out some insane desperation ki blast stuff. and even then you've got to get lucky

like I doubt Hit would be able to kill Buu using any of the methods he's used to killing people with

Seeing as Buu is Goku's friend and a frequent sideline onlooker, the only thing that can hurt Buu is a new antagonist so shockingly powerful that only Goku can stop him now

pretty sure both cell and frieza (expecially frieza) would be okay if the universe was destroyed as long as goku went down with it.

Roshi was a gag character thru most of the series who was centuries old and ultra powerful, and Toriyama said "He's only as strong as he wants to be" so maybe we'll get some World's Strongest Roshi just hulking up and cheesing some fights.

I enjoyed the bit where Granny Goku tapped into her Goku Black voice when Goku was talking about how unsensable the furries are and how exciting that is to them, Goku is a jerk arc shaping up to be good stuff.

I missed it the first time, but holy poo poo he is talking like Black there.

He did that for the same reason he gave Freeza enough energy to survive

So Cell would know, when he was destroyed by his son, that it wasn't because he wasn't in top form.

Assuming they're going with the "Goku as villain" story... could it be a change in his personality brought about by training to be the new god of destruction? Goku's never been particularly bright or responsible, but he's never come off as malicious before.

He's not being malicious though. He's still concerned about other people and is acting the same as he pretty much always has, it's just that now his obsession with fighting stronger opponents(which has always overshadowed his other traits) doesn't have an acceptable outlet. His behavior is nothing new, it's just that he has never grown or learned from the consequences of it and he now knows beings who can feed that obsession in unhealthy way.

Manatee Cannon
Aug 26, 2010



yea he's the same as he ever was but now the consequences for him being an idiot and not thinking things through are bigger than they've ever been

it's like when he gave cell the senzu bean, or frieza his energy, or asked krillin not to kill vegeta, or let go of raditz' tail... he's known for not making good decisions and honestly he tends to pay for it. it seems like they're setting it up so that he'll actually learn something this time tho

That's because now they're portraying it as a vaguely serious flaw.

Sea Lily

Yeah the difference is the framing and the narrative. Usually it's a flaw that lets a ruthless foe betray his trust, but now he's fighting on a god level scale and these decisions affect more people than just him. Or just the Earth. He's got a lesson to learn now, and Vegeta turning down training and the exhibition match because his family needs him is showing us what Goku is doing wrong. He's exceptionally selfish right now and everyone in every universe is going to suffer because of that naive fightman compulsion.

Watch his eyes in future episodes, and especially the manga once it catches up. Goku's eyes are always drawn with an outline only going about 3/4 of the way around, except as a super saiyan. You'll notice that Goku Black had full outlines around his eyes. That's because Toriyama tends to draw his villains with full outlines, while his (at least early) good guys have the partial outline. So if Toriyama starts drawing Goku with the full outlines in his base form, that's your first hint that poo poo's about to hit the fan.

Goku isn't a bad guy but he is flawed and Super seems to be building up to him realizing that. I said it before but remember that unless something changes drastically all of this is leading up to DBZ's ending where Goku takes a student on and it seems like the idea that Goku will go from trainman fightbro to a guy who genuinely wants to invest in a future student will probably be the outcome.
