To the people talking about Goten/Trunks, pretty sure they're kept young looking because they just have no desire to advance their characters/plot into adulthood, and we already had future Trunks so it makes it extra pointless to flesh out another adult Trunks. Goten would just be Gohan 2 in personality probably.

I think Goten could grow up pretty different from Gohan, since he will (might?) have a fightman father growing into adulthood, Gohan grew up with Chichi and books from age 12. And Trunks could be interesting since he should be different to Future Trunks, he grew up pretty content , admittedly with a weird family dynamic, is mostly confident and carefree, pretty far removed from his counterpart, so I think it could be interesting to see who he grows up into, assuming they don't forget he's a different character to the time traveler *cough*GT*cough*.

What's more embarrassing for Toppo? Being fought to a standstill by an Evil man or being fought to a standstill by a man who sounds like granny nagging grandpa when he's throwing punches (Goku's throwing punches, not grandpa)?

This whole thing has been Goku's plan to get Vegeta to ascend to the next level of Super Saiyan fury.

Nice baby you've got there. Be a shame if something happened to it (and everything else).

Yeah if this isn't some ploy on Goku's part to make sure everyone fights as hard as they can, I will be somewhat surprised.

Honestly this is all Chi-Chi's fault; forcing a man-child to do boring work instead of punching things, he's bound to start itching for real fights.

To set up that "Zeno can and will destroy the universe" is a thing and not a theoretical and to introduce the second Zeno who will probably play into the plot.

Well they needed a way to keep Xenoverse canon while leaving the cooler Super Trunks around. Still think the 'other Trunks" got booted to Time Patrol by the Surpeme Kai of Time and Whis to get rid of him from that timeline so Super Trunks can live his life.

the real reason is cuz toriyama never thought of this poo poo beforehand then when he decided to expand the god characters he realized he wanted to do more designs. the in universe reason is that the kais are all grown on trees but gods of destruction are appointed from mortals, apparently

This whole tournament is just Goku's job application for god of destruction. You can destroy a couple planets? Try wiping out 7 universes in under an hour.

I think it's been pretty firmly established that the only thing keeping U7 from being the worst of the lot is U9's genuine corruption, thanks to the fact that they're all stupid lazy idiots with most of the competent ones dead with the equivalent of a shitpants 11 year old nerd in charge with the help of a geriatric and a gluttonous killslob of a Destroyer.

It's actually still the same timeline with everything destroyed and Whis was just lying so the Future Characters would go away and never come back because there was only enough fuel for one trip.

Gowasu outright points out that the Kaioshins should do nothing but wait and see, and he ends up pushing his student to become a multiversal murderer and godslayer. The U6 Gods include an arrogant poo poo of a Kaioshin and Beerus, but even more childish and slightly better of a person.

I think the Gods are just awful in general.

Champa is childish when it comes to Beerus we haven't seen how the U6 kai's act yet or how Champa does his job clearly better since their rating is higher. You have to remember Beerus does things like letting Frieza do his job because he's too lazy to do it.

I mean, U6 has a higher rating but it might not be ALL that high. Maybe they have it by a decimal because at least their Freeza pretended to be nice.

I also think God of Destruction position was sorta explained with the mortal level. They're supposed to cull "bad" worlds or at least bad influences - see those guys over there that can only fight? Blow 'em up. Ah, there's this pink prick wrecking poo poo up, better DELETE him. As for the Kaioshins, that's a bit more vague. Are they popping out new planets on the regular? Are they just supposed to watch over life and page their GoD (dumb acronym) if they see terrible poo poo happening? Maybe they actually HAVE to interfere and foster good things in the world and Gowasu was just poo poo at his job? Who knows? I don't, and neither does Toriyama or his team! :v:

Judging by how Beerus criticized Shin? They should take an active role in the guidance of the worlds in their universes (or at least in the bureaucracy, Shin didn't even try to assist or advise King Kai on anything, for example.)

And yeah, Gowasu wasn't particularly good at his job either. We had a direct example of that in his idea of a remedy for Zamasu's anti-Ningenism.

I think of Kaioshins as the 'gardeners' of their universe. They plant seeds (create planets and life), mow/water the lawn (foster growth in mortals and civilization), and design/arrange everything according to their preference (encourage advancement of certain aspects). I guess the GoD's job in this analogy is to remove weeds and wilting/dead plants so they don't make the entire garden look worse, and to make space for new flowers.
