I haven't seen it yet, but it's pretty standard in DB movies for Krillin to get dunked on way harder than the show or manga

I am aware, but this may come as a surprise to you if you haven’t seen the movie but Krillin does pretty ok in Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero.

Anyway, disappointing to learn that several people in this thread have not seen the newest movie because it was very good and well worth watching.

Super Hero is really good and also as far away from Toyotaro’s style as possible which is why I’m dreading how bad his adaptation will be

I had Covid while it was local.. so that was great. I desperately need it to come out streaming somewhere so I can finally loving watch it.

Thinking on the manga-only stuff, I just realized that the discrepancy of Beerus' use of 'Ultra Instinct' during the Zen Exhibition Match actually lines up with the Tournament of Power - he was using the same False UI that Roshi showed against Jiren. Makes me wonder if a later arc for Beerus is Freiza overcoming him and forcing him to improve enough to use Omen or true UI alongside his permanent Ultra Ego state.

That isn't the case at all. Roshi specifically can't use Ultra Instinct, what he was using was something similar born from his years of fighting experience but without a godly element to it. Beerus can use the real deal, but he can't keep it up consistently because he doesn't have the clarity of mind needed for it. It's closer to Goku's Sign but not quite that either, I interpreted it as a more refined Sign but not a complete Ultra Instinct like Whis'.

Yeah exactly, without a godly element to it, but still understanding its zen fundamentals, so a 'pale imitation'. But still working like the real deal, since it actually worked against Jiren! Where Beerus' issue is like you said, focus and not power, so he's in the same conceptual space in my take, defeating the other Destroyers by going ultimate martial artist, but never quite achieving the level Goku manages when Roshi's example allows him to find the necessary state of mind. I like that martial arts keeps proving to be U7's ultimate edge over the other factions.

If Ultra Ego works for Beerus and Champa like it does for Vegeta, I am now trying to picture what they look like outside of it

See, the thing that bothers me about Ultra Ego as a power of Hakaishin is that Beerus doesn't really try to get hit. If anything, he usually gets mad when he gets hit and immediately ends the fight. And it's never portrayed as "Oh, he got stronger from being struck", but "Oh, he's mad and now he's going to stop dicking around".

I mean, yeah that makes sense but really Vegeta made a form that specifically functions as the opposite of Kakarot’s that happens to also channel destroyer god power, because Toriyama/Toyotaro thought Old School Vegeta was cooler than cool* while forgetting the fact that old school Vegeta also liked to talk poo poo and get hit.

*they’re right tbf.

So it's like a good version of Ultra Ego?

I mean aside from that one time in the manga I didn't read, have we even seen Beerus trying?

Maybe he gets stronger from getting hit with stuff strong enough to matter to him. We wouldn't know.

p. sure "Ultra Ego" is not why Beerus and Champa are purple, and probably doesn't have much to do with them altogether. It's best not to think too much about it because none of it lines up.

zamasu is a masochist. if he's trying to goad you into beating him to the brink of death so he can zenkai boost, that's zamasu

if one of them had the other's personality, you'd know right away
