Holy Christ he's an android with infinite stamina and poo poo let SOMEONE just bullshit the ability to match and defeat an Inconquerable Saiyan for once I swear the more I read the more it seems all people want is for everyone to messily die if Goku so much as touches them while blue or dare raise a fist against him

17 was designed to kill Goku, it's weird that he would be able to actually accomplish that

On the one hand, it is a little weird that this godly power that took a ritual to even achieve can be matched by a some guy who trained real hard sorta. On the other hand, you could kinda say that the Androids being able to outmatch the Z fighters during their first appearance came out of nowhere so eh.

I hope when they go to recruit Master Roshi he turns super buff and beats the gently caress out of SSjB KKx20 Goku to show off his new training.

I love me some Goku but I am now well far into the thickets of wanting to see this tournament destroy everything he ever knew and loved about fighting just to tear him down a few pegs for once I'd love to see Jiren no sell his battle love every single second of the fight until it's just a humorless, joyless slog for the Saiyan having to ring-out a lot of angry, hateful, desperate people

honestly they use ssb way too much and it stopped feeling particularly powerful real fast. the show does have a problem of making all these form changes feel interchangeable. they could do better on that front I don't really care that 17 or w/e can fight goku in ssb, but at the same time it doesn't feel particularly impressive that he can do that at this point because so can everyone else apparently. it's legit pretty funny that goku hit a peak and the only way he could break past it was to literally become a god, but then everyone else, up to and including krillin, could at least put up a fight with (or even match) his shiny new form by doing some cardio for a week

Nessus posted:It sounds like 17 has reached the bulletproof stage of enlightenment, and is wiser than most of the case. Maybe not Roshi or Big Green. I mean more in the sense of like, suddenly feeling something click into place because his express made purpose was Gotta Kill Goku. So when the man is ASKING you to fight him after all these years, it must be like getting a little splinter out of your toe.

Momomo posted:Goku fighting someone unnecessarily? Why that's not like him at all. It's not that it's out of character for him to ask (and if you say no he physically bullies people into it) but "you kinda need to establish that these guys can still go" is just not true in all but Krillin's case (and only then because the first 'Krillin Gets His Groove Back' two-parter they did was dogshit). The more time they spend building the team up the more I fear they won't last long enough to do anything in the actual tournament.

The team isn't going to be fighting Goku in the tournament and they instead seem to be setting up "here is how all of these guys can be relevant in the tournament." Obviously some of them are going to get Ring Out'd because it's necessary for drama if nothing else but there's a good chance everyone will get at least one good fight. (And then Piccolo will jump in front of a blast for Gohan and get knocked out of the stage.)

I think that "good chance" gets smaller for every cool trick they show now. Half of them will get eliminated in the first episode to show how strong the opponents are and get Goku's dick hard. Roshi will not be one of them

I'm pretty sure the person who is going to get eliminated in the first episode to show how strong the opponents are is Hit. Like that dude is basically hosed, he's going to get knocked out by Jiren the Grey in under a second. Some of the other Crappy Champa Guys and probably the wolf men too.

We haven't seen Buu, Gohan, Krillin, or 17 get a proper fight in about 25 years, so having these little episodes is meant to be for the fans rather than the plot. Hell that's why Piccolo actually getting to fight Frost was such a fun thing.

The "they're doing stuff now so they'll job later" logic holds as much water as "they don't get to do poo poo so they'll be smashed" one, which is to say none at all.

Buu has had two fights now where he's shot his load, so he's a goner for sure. What more can they do with him? Krillin's only hope is that electricity thing he was feeling post kamehameha might be something. Otherwise we've seen all he's got, too. Piccolo is notably not being shown roughing up Gohan. He can do all the moves and it'll seem fresh and exciting. Plus he's not nearly threatening enough to make anyone look strong by defeating him. Vegeta, Piccolo, Tien and 18 for final 4.

Rhjamiz posted:I want Vegeta to basically take command of all the U6 saiyans mid-tournament to form his own team thanks to Cabba talking him up. This raises an interesting question. How can Daishinkan/the Zen'os know each fighter belongs to the Universe they are fighting for? They are clearly not omnisicient with all the poo poo that's been going down without their knowing. It would be interesting to have Champa approach Vegeta and be like "Yo! You and your family, Kings of U6 Saiyan planet. Switch sides, kay?"

Also correct me if I'm wrong but we've been told multiple times that God of Destruction is a job, not a species, so there are quite a lot of people who've reached that level and gotten offered a job, as well as presumably at least some who got that far and didn't.

You are correct. Also, it isn't his power level that makes Goku "godly." It's the God Ki. Basically, without God Ki, Goku doesn't stack up to even Hit (who hasn't gotten it).
