Vegeta getting his kill stolen was one of the most disrespectful moments in anime like there was no reason for it to happen besides shaming vegeta yet again

[@0vern9K]

I always thought the point of his character is the fact that he never gives up. No matter how many blows he takes literally and mentally. He just keeps getting up arrogant as hell. which is what makes him so memorable it’s realistic. My point is in Z at least there was reason for these things. These beatings mentally and physically. For example Him seeing Goku and trunks in his dreams and hating himself for not being good enough to be a ssj is something on a real level. When you try your hardest and just suck while everyone gets it like a walk in the park. What they do in super is disrespectful though just no reason. His character progressed not an inch, he gained nothing from goku killing Freiza instead of him.

[@BradLad56]

He shouldn't have taken so long. That's what gave Frieza the time to blow up the planet. If he had killed him with a quick blast or even a punch, then he would have got his kill and Whis wouldn't have had to rewind time for Goku to take it

@burgezdoestuff8578 Super Saiyan blue doesn't make sense. I mean what's the necessity of creating it? Super Saiyan god is a thousand times better than blue. SSB is the only transformation that the creators had a hard time explaining, and few people got it. I think they tried to say that SSG would be equivalent to SS1 and SSB to SS2, but they did it in such a poorly thought out way that the explanation only confused us even more. I like the concept of god ki though. I think it was a great idea to justify the increase in saiyan power. Blue is as inefficient in terms of burning stamina as SS3, perhaps not to the same extent, but Goku faces the same problem here, which doesn't make sense, because the energy of divine form is from the outside to the inside, it does not leak from the body like regular forms. Even though it has more power than SSG, SSB is less efficient.

[@fruitybluieblue098]

My thoughts exactly

[@Helaow]

Yeah or maybe not make it out to be so much a Saiyan transformation and more like a general technique even humans can learn through the ritual of five beings of pure and righteous hearts. (Because they need something damnit and they've come a long way from the people they used to be). It's god ki and yet it's written to be exclusive only to the Saiyans and Gods which is complete bs to me. I don't get how Saiyans can just use different techniques from various amounts of people while the rest don't get to learn anything new themselves aside from a few minor gimmicks like the solar flare. I miss when dragon ball was not all about the damn Saiyans all the time and more about Goku, his friends/family, and their journey as a group instead of his cheerleaders. It was all fine in the Saiyan and Frieza saga (and the broly movie...sorta) as we were learning about his origin and his race before they where endangered and enslaved and how the survivors developed (especially the one and only kind hearted Saiyan fueled by rage from the loss of his best friend which awaken a fury unlike anything we've ever seen from someone like him at the damn time). How do you expect me to take them seriously now that they've been so one note throughout the series recently to a hilarious degree. Goku: tee hee u pretty strong let's-a-go! I'm getting pumped! I'm fired up! I'm getting excited! Durr ur pretty good! See ya later! Now I'm really REALLY MAD NOW! AAAAHHHHHH! (Maniacal screaming intensifies) Give me everything you got... (Mf sounds like a broken record) show me all your mone- I mean power!? Vegeta: Prince of all saiyans! Saiyan pride! Me me me! I'm the best! I've finally caught up to you kakarot! Oh wait no I haven't! Awww! Hmph! Now I'm gonna play the pouty child cause I lost the game of cat and mouse with my rival and lack any other personality other than a condescending tsundere. Humph! If dragon ball was meant to be this silly then why all the forced dramatic acts?

It kinda baffles me how long it took the author to realize that rivals with vastly different personalities and mindsets should have different transformations and ways of fighting, instead of just Vegeta going after Goku all the time which was never not at all fitting with his character. It's amazing how Dragon Ball, who was such a pioneer of shounen and shounen troupes is so far behind modern shounen in regards to powers, scaling and character dynamics and development. Toriyama needs to take some inspiration from Blue Lock and how it treats it's characters where basically everyone is a main character and plays differently, even with a much more rigid "skill system".

seriously if you look at the powers system of modern anime, you kinda realize how basic the ki abilites that dbz characters use. Most attacks are either a ki blast/ beam or martial arts combos. Toyotaro and toei need to fix the power system in order to bring the manga into the modern day

After that, the only win he has against Buu takes everyone working together to hold him back as Goku uses the final Spirit Bomb.

I’ll just say that Krillin fighting against Super Saiyan Blue Goku is not just a straight, relevant power comparison.

Generally, we need to think about the tournament of power fights more for matchups and less for like “this person is stronger and therefore wins.” That whole arc was largely about fighters pushing themselves to their limits and surpassing themselves while utilizing their unique strengths.

[@MSCDonkeyKong]

You know what bugs me about the Zamasu arc is that after checking the wiki, apparently you can only use the time rings if you're wearing potara. So, Goku Black and Zamasu have these GIANT GLARING WEAKPOINTS with these physical objects that, in the Buu arc, Goku and Vegeta managed to destroy with one hand. Fused Zamasu was entirely preventable if EITHER of the SSBs in the scene were smart enough to recognize Zamasu's GLARING weak point in relying on magical artifacts rather than innate inner strength.

[@MSCDonkeyKong]

This is even worse now that I think about it. First off, the form is supposed to be about ki-control and precision, yet they only ever use it to hit stuff harder. They're failing to sell the concept of what these forms are supposed to be. Second, the kais as a race are written practically the same as mortals considering they need magical artifacts to do stuff that gods in most media can do on their own. Even King Kai doesn't need a crystal ball for omnipotence. The only inherent difference between the kais and mortals is that one can do a better version of instant transmission. We're not told about anything else. So if Goku and Vegeta had just targeted the magical earrings (which they were capable of destroying in the Buu saga), then not only would they have prevented Zamasu from fusing, but they would have destroyed his entire argument by forcing Zamasu to accept that he's no different from the mortals. Instead of that, they fuck around with their shitty useless form, get nothing done, and allow the villain to achieve his win condition. The ending of the Zamasu arc is like the equivalent of watching your friend play a video game boss fight (jrpg final boss considering it's zamasu), and not figure out how to target the weak point, and just allowing the boss to regenerate until it wins. Both as a physical fight AND as a discussion about the relationship between gods and mortals.

[@RodrigoJavierJorquera]

the fact that your ONLY argument to complain about super is what the wiki some random fan says is really shows why Superis so much better written than Z ever could have ever dreamt to be. There is not a single moment in anime, manga or interview where the time rings are said to be usable exclusively by those who wear Pothara rings. Not only that doesn't make any sense, but mind you, what makes you a Kai is not the pothara, so yeah, no idea where did that stupid bs of a fake argument came from Second, kais are inheritenly way more powerfull than mortals. In universe 7, the terror of any lifeform across the infinite possibilities of the universe whas the evil dictator Lord Freezer, who commanded the most tyranical army that ever existed. Kais, just because they are THAT good when born, are just way beyond that power. Kais wield a wer no mortal could ever possibly imagine (Yes, Gero created a cockroach way stronger than any Kai in the universe, but this isn't about Z's shitty power scalling). Not only that, but they have the inherent capability of watching anything in the universe from their assigned planet, which by the way is in an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT REALM. If you think Kais are just mortals with thw "/tp" coe ennables, we go back to the beginning of this comment. The fact that your only argument to complain about Super is the fact that Super is better written and you never watched Z says all it has to be said. So no, destroying the pothara wouldn't have solved anything and there was just no possible way Goku nor Vegeta could have known that, and as a side note, King Kai doesn't have omnipotence. If anything, i've never seen a character more pathetically far from onmipotence (he declares himself weaker than the saiyans in saiyan saga, how tf is that "omni"potence lmao. First go to school and learn some words, because using words longer than 5 letters do NOT make your arguments valid lil kid). The best part is how you think that sending Black to the past would have done something. EVEN if this shitty planned canonically confirmed to be useless of yours worked, Zamasu is not wearing any time ring and he is currently in his corresponding timeline, so the while "inmortal god" stuff is kinda still a problem. Maybe watch the series instead of pulling up some dildos from your ass as an argument. If Super is so good that you can't accept it, maybe watching it making peace that is by far better than Z will make you enjoy life instead of being a pathetic little gremlin complaining about everything because he is allergic to finding a job

[@tyguy6296]

i wish they had just made SSJB a form that DOESN'T increase power, but has some other kind of effect. They could have made blue as powerful as a lower tier of SSJ, but have it be a more EFFICIENT form that allows for lower or even unlimited Ki and stamina burn. It would have made much more sense, especially when Goku combined it with kaioken,. Blue would allow for goku to rock x20 for a much longer time without taking so much out of him, and it would allow vegeta to push some kind of ultra final flash or something. It would also be a great precursor to ultra instinct, which is also less of a power boost and more of a stat buff. either way, it would have been nice to see goku and vegeta basically hit the actual raw power limit that a saiyan can physically achieve, and force them to get creative with their forms to defeat stronger enemies.

[@mr.patriotjol]

As much as i like the idea of Super Sayian Blue. I do wish it was addressed differently then it was originally. Especially when considering that the power scaling that Toriyama stated in Battle of Gods where Goku was 6, Beerus 10 and Whis 15. But in the concept of Super, i believe everyone or most agreed that the Zamasu arc was a better way to add Super Sayian Blue. But if they kept the original concept of Blue being added during Friezas return then I would’ve liked to see Mastered Super Sayian be used; as like how the manga did it.

Super sayian blue was never the problem it is a cool concept, the problem was making ssj god base goku, and then having base goku be able to stack ssjblue on top of his base form. that was the dumb part, it essentially made Goku become ssg times ssg times ssj(x50) in ressurection f.

I don’t know where I first saw this, it could’ve been from you. But I swear that it causes me physical pain that this isn’t what happened. Goku achieves SSG from the ritual and absorbs God ki into his base raising his level to that plateau just like the movie. Vegeta goes to train with Whis in the room saturated with God ki until he is able to sense and absorb it. This raises his base form just like Goku’s from BoGs. He then figured out how to combine that God ki with Super saiyan and Super Saiyan blue is born. A Vegeta exclusive form that allows vegeta to surpass Goku. Goku would then find out about vegeta cheating by training with Whis. Instant transmissions to Beerus’ planet and joins in the training. Also learning to sense/absorb god ki. This now allows him to transform into SSG at will. Allowing the two fighters to have two fundamentally different powers based on God ki but still being equals. Time passes, Goku then uses the ‘calmness’ and ‘healing’ from SSG to combine it with Kaioken. Making him able to surpass SSB vegeta. Goku black is a naturally born God in the body of a mortal. His control and ability to utilize God ki dwarfs them both despite being in a mortal body. He witnesses the super saiyan blue form and afterwards combines his God ki with super saiyan and bam. Super saiyan Rose that is more powerful than blue but slightly weaker than ssg kaioken. Vegeta would then get mastered super saiyan blue, closing the gap between the 3. Time passes, Goku gets UI omen and Vegeta gets SSBE. Goku then gets MUI and Vegeta gets UE. It’s perfect. Like all of Goku’s god forms would be upgrades on his base. All Vegeta’s god forms would be upgrades on his super saiyan form. Something that Vegeta has way more attachment to than Goku.

It's beyond obvious that that villain's strength is incomparable to a dog attack. If someone is required to have beat an enemy in combat to not be considered weak, then the story will be required to conform to an obvious line, and every new system or form would be overwhelmingly favored removing the tension that you feel is so terribly removed from the story beforehand.

I don't think the issue is the blue transformation. I think transformations in general are over used throughout the series too often as a reliance, especially in Super. The first time Goku goes super saiyan you really felt this is something special. Now, any fight that is initiated Goku and Vegeta transform right from the start and it takes away from the feeling of these "unachievable/legendary" forms being something special every time you see it on screen every 5 minutes. I personally want to see more fights in base form, it shows how strong they are and all the years of training paying off. Nothing is exciting knowing the hero gets a x50 power boost as soon as they transform, let them struggle a bit and find ways of fighting their enemy in creative ways without strength being the deciding factor. Besides that is Goku and Vegeta's personalities, finding joy in combat and new techniques.

I don't understand the logic of how using a Transformation takes away from the "Unachievable/Legendary" form

[@RockoSocko66]

@@FazeRustyNuts For myself, I view the saiyan transformations as their trump cards and something that should be able turn the battles in their favor. But, when you see them being used so often for just about every fight then where is the magic or awe effect anymore? For example, Super Saiyan blue is supposed to be a level to rival the gods themselves and during the tournament of power it was being used against characters that easily any other Z fighter could have handled themselves. Doesn't make the form feel special anymore if someone like Piccone could have dealt with them as well. Imagine if Blue was preserved for more serious fights towards the end like against Toppo or Jiren then you would feel the weight of the situation and just how powerful those forms really are then you will get a better sense of "damn this guy is strong or is an actual threat".

@@RockoSocko66 did you keep this same energy for Super Sayian being spammed against everyone?

[@RockoSocko66]

@@FazeRustyNuts Same feeling for me, which is why I said in my original comment why not have more fights in their base forms then gradually have the transformations build. It's hard to get a sense of power strength if they go super saiyan/ Blue right from the start. Just makes everyone feel like they can rival our boys Goku and Vegeta.

[@razorblademask]

Honestly I've always preferred God over Blue. God at least felt and looked different from the typical super Saiyan form. Blue was just...blue...and not even a nice shade of blue. I like the color blue too! It just always looks so bad in super's digital coloring. But I'm also the type that prefers a full on transformation rather than just some hair change.

[@Medachod]

Sad thing is the concept for SSG was great. Goku reverting to a non-primal method of fighting by having his relaxed expression be the default and the red hair being base in style. It actually looked very unique. I was so letdown it just became, well, they literally decided to call it SSB themselves. Kaioken SSG would have looked sick too. MUI is really just a rip-off of the original idea of SSG. I won't deny the aura and hair still resembling base is cool, but I feel it would have been much cooler as a direct successor to SSG and SSB simply didn't exist. Hell, I'm still mad SS3 never had a mastered form simply because Toriyama didn't like drawing it. But, really, Ultra Instinct just feels like a nice continuation of SSG and it is a real shame it had to be after SSB, as if Goku just forgot he learned that new calmer aura and decided to fight angry again. _To me, here are the real forms to the creator:_ - Super Saiyan - Super Saiyan Blue - Mastered Ultra Instinct Anything else was just a stopgap, even the ones that looked really cool. If I could bash any of them, I guess only Gohan made SS2 look cool, but Goku barely had an aesthetic change besides those "aura sparks" everyone goes on about. _TL;DR: Wish SSG was focused on more, UI was the successor to SSG, SSB never existed._

Sating Gogeta didn't beat Broly just because he didn't kill him is insane. From the moment Gogeta went blue to the end of the fight, Broly didn't land a single hit on him. are we going to say beerus didn't beat Goku because he didn't kill him? are we going to say Android 18 didn't beat Vegeta because she just broke his arm and didn't kill him? Uh-oh, looks like Vegeta didn't lose to Goku in the Saiyan Saga because he didn't die

Goku didn't say that he doesn't want to no longer use Mastered Ui he just said that he's not using the Mastered Ui form its hard to use because it requires a calm heart & Goku's heart wasn't calm at that time when he was fighting against Gas

Not to mention, Whis told Goku to find his own path of UI because he's not a Angel. Goku will find a way to turn UI into his own thing, the Saiyan way because he's a Saiyan.

Major powers learned in DB: * kamehameha * flight Major powers learned in DBZ: * kaio ken (changes his hair color but can only be done in short bursts to avoid injury) * spirit bomb * super saiyan * instant transmission * super saiyan 2 * fusion * super saiyan 3 Major powers learned in Super: * super saiyan god (ssj4) * super saiyan blue (ssj5) * ultra instinct (ssj6) * mastered ultra instinct (ssj7) I notice a creeping trend where these powerups are more and more turning into sonic OC recolors based on the original super saiyan design. In DB, goku got stronger by training and just getting better at fighting in general. The only real powers he learns in the show are the kamehameha, which he learns by watching Roshi do it once, and flight, which he learned in his 3 years of offscreen training with kami, where he comes back in his teen form, no longer the little monkey boy, but a big monkey man. Other than that, Goku doesn't really use ki based powers. He just slaps the shit out of people with his brute force animal strength. In Z, the powers that Goku learns are generally well- balanced, until the cell arc where it becomes all about higher and higher levels of super saiyan. You can see this disease take root easily in GT where there's an explicit ssj4 transformation, and in super, where every major power goku learns is just another aura/hair color change. This is why imo it's hard to take DB's story seriously post frieza arc. Which is not to shit on dragon ball, it's just an observation about how the special powers start out unique and varied and slowly converge into "new stronger form with different colors". In DB you had the dodon ray, the mafuba technique, that thing Tao Pai Pai did with the pillar, the devil man's evil beam, tien's four arm technique, chiaotzu's telekinesis, the fucking carrot man, general blue's power to paralyze people, a robot girl named arale who could just punt him into outer space, in Z you have kaio ken, the spirit bomb, instant transmission, captain ginyu's body swap ability. All of these are very unique and varied abilities compared to the immense number of saiyan transformations

@@QaamansLand lol being honest, i dont mind ssj Blue as a next level from ssj God, I just wish we had more time with God. Similar to how they handled it in the manga essentially. However I was never a fan on how they colored it. I rather have a sky blue kind of color (Similar to ssj Broly, in the Raging Blast 2 game). In the anime, it looked like a metallic teal color.

SSGSS really just became the new Super Saiyan

[@FlushingsFinest]

I agree, if super saiyan god is different ki altogether then they should have restarted the transformations starting from the red base form, then going ssj 2, ssj 3 and so on in my opinion. The blue really just feels thrown in there and there really wasn't enough build up for that transformation. He already achieved god form through a ritual and now he can just do super saiyan blue in the next movie. Feels ODE rushed. They worked way harder for ssj and ssj2 back in the day so im not really jacking it. AND THEY SHOULD HAVE KEPT IT EITHER RED OR BLUE. PICK ONE.

[@NephilimSeth]

To be honest now I like super Saiyan God better super Saiyan blue was pathetic & it's reputation of not being able to beat anyone is terrible
