That actually seems to be more or less what happened. Translations aren't out yet but It looks like the key to it is simply gathering your ki at a particular spot on your upper back. which is loving hilarious.

To be honest "Super Saiyan is actually fairly easy to do" would at least explain Goten and Trunks.

This was good, and also I really appreciate how far they've leaned into Kale as a straight-up Broly genderswap with a presumably less tragic childhood. She's so timid :allears:

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.
I like how Vegeta blew up the Time Chamber, thus eliminating "why don't they just use the time chamber." malarky

I mean, U6 Saiyans are all leaps and bounds stronger than U7 Saiyans. For perspective, base Cabba could stand toe-to-toe with base Vegeta in the tournament. That means without any level of SSJ he could beat SSJ2 Teen Gohan one handed. It makes sense that they have an easier time doing it. Prior to the Freeza saga Bardock and Vegeta were the two most powerful Saiyans and they were trash.

It's kinda lovely how everyone gave Goku a hard time about keeping the universe destruction thing a secret when it was both Gohan's idea and he stood there saying nothing.

By all means, give Goku what he deserves, but Gohan played a role too.

This is really the point of it, it's not that they hid the thing, it's that Goku didn't really trust anyone else with the secret. He straight-up told Piccolo about it, but not his best friend? Kinda a dick move.

Also Caulifla is great and we need more of her.

And the Robot Universe.

And Toppo.

And definitely Satan. Even if he chickened out, it was nice of him to at least think about going in Buu's place. :3:

I love how much Super takes advantage of its wider cast of characters. If this were GT we wouldn't go five minutes without the focus shifting right back to Goku. And speaking of Five Minutes, I like how EVERYONE immediately thinks Goku's gone nuts for coming up with recruiting Freeza. Even Beerus.

Everything changes, Pit.
Even gods.

Freeza's conditions are going to be some absurd stuff and Goku's going to agree to it all because he only cares about Freeza joining up so they can fight strong dudes

He'll demand he gets like 12 dragonball wishes and Goku has to punch Vegeta's heart out and feed it to Trunks, and throw gohan into a volcano, and destroy the earth, and Goku's just like "yeah sure"

Goku only got the idea to do it when his son told him it was a good idea, though. Goku was ready to tell everyone until Gohan went "Dad? Maybe don't."

Like, the first time he listens to his son it's to lie to his friends.

Goku is a character they all know to be impressionable and to take other people's lead on the messier details on life. It shouldn't really be a surprise to anyone there.

And I'm not saying don't give Goku a hard time. I'm saying they both deserved to be chewed out.

You know what? So did Piccolo.

It's bad enough the fandom has treated the whole thing about not telling everyone to be Goku's idea and Goku's alone, the show paid lipservice to Gohan's role in it too.

Either way, it doesn't matter much. It was just a thing that bugged me.

From his reaction, it seemed like he thought everyone else knew, so he didn't bother saying anything about it.
