You do know that any of the "okay" universes shown are most likely going to be weak for the sake of a joke, right? Or at least the first one would probably go down to U9.

It wouldn’t really be a joke; the people don’t have to get strong or fight because the GoDs take care of any threats before they become a problem. One of them has even made a comment about how boring his universe is because nothing ever happens

I assumed that a "good" God of Destruction's duty was also to destroy any threat to a universe as well as to destroy planets or life that would only deteriorate, but any other fan I spoke to was all "Nuh uh, Beerus's job is just to destroy so he isn't a bad GoD!" without some direct Toriyama quote. Like for some reason they're his contractual liability lawyers and the loving Supreme Kai was supposed to protect life instead of the warrior that was super strong and could throw Hakai to solve a big issue, as if loving Shin could be assed to do that, much less figure out how to tie a shoelace.

EDIT: Then again, these same dudes believed that Beerus was talking to the narrator,. instead of "Say Something" being a wish that his brother would have had last words for him, because the Narrator talked after he said that.

At first I thought it was a request for a eulogy from Whis on his brother, before I realized that it was posthumously directed at Champa.

Never in my mind did I arrive at "he's talking to the narrator" because Dragon ball isn't that kind of show.

I think the only times they break the 4th wall, it's when Akira's self-insert is there.

Gohan breaks it once during the early Buu Saga, pointing out to the audience that Krillin's let his hair grow. Beyond that, the fourth wall jokes are kept to a minimum.

It's really obvious that it's Beerus complaining about Champa's attitude at his last moments anyways, it's blatantly not the moment for a joke. But there's a lot of people that can't follow this dumb punchmans anime.

Well if it's a low key arc, we don't need a super-strong antagonist. Besides, if Goku is able to beat Jiren, no one in any other Universe short of the GoDs will be much of a challenge anyway.

I figured he was daring Whis to make a smart-rear end comment like he usually does when it comes to Beerus and Champa's relationship.

I figured he was talking to the narrator so he could end the scene.

The jobs of the kais and GoDs seems really vague to begin with, but they're all blamed for the Mortal Levels being low, so clearly it's supposed to be their job to upkeep the universes through whatever means. It seems like every single job they're supposed to do falls on the GoDs though. The Supreme Kais apparently create life, but we have never seen them do that other than the time Kabito healed Gohan (who isn't even a Supreme Kai). Even Gowasu, who knew what he was doing, said their job was just to watch.

Gowasu was also on the short list for elimination too, so maybe just watching isn't the whole job :v:

making quality GodTube content though, that definitely isn't on Supreme Kai duties

Beerus was talking to us, the fans. He wants us to "Say Something" to stop the carnage and senseless destruction of Universes.

Please write a letter to Zen-Oh c/o Fuji TV. Urge him to stop deleting Universes because it's not "cool" or "fun". Only we can stop him, now.

That's how I took it. At this point I'm probably misremembering, but I thought earlier on Whis prompted Beerus to "say something" as well.

basically if Frezia was in Gene or Liquir's universe he would have been obliterated on Namek and never been heard from again. It is literally only because Beerus is bad at his job that Frezia exists.

Pretty sure Beerus was fine with Freeza doing whatever as long as things were destroyed and he was free to nap

He's angry at Champa for not saying anything, and angry at himself for not saying anything.

I think they manually defined which sections of the sprites are the face, hair, and main color pallete. Then computer magic swaps the defined sections of whichever characters you picked.

I have to imagine he's only very slightly better. Really though it's probably just sheer luck that things happened differently, the Saiyans not destroying their home planet probably prevented a lot of poo poo from getting worse.

It wasn't just Champa that found out, it was everyone in attendance of that, including Cabba who probably immediately ran to the nearest adult and told on him. If it was Champa's doing then he probably would have just erased him.

didn't the show say most of Champa's job was done by Vados? She either bribed him or carried out destruction on her own for him?

I assume she was purely doing the most base level subsistence of it though.

She was at least shown destroying a planet that they thought had a Super Dragonball inside, and she makes fun of him for it.
