@@SlugOnTub It kinda depends on which of the writers put him in dragon ball. If it's the ones that focus primarily on either story or comedy then I agree, they'd have him get his shit pushed in after he talks himself up either for laughs or as a lesson about hubris.

There's one thing you forgot. A very important part of the ToP is what Zeno was gonna do if he made the wrong wish, or god forbid if Rick pisses off Zeno.

Rick might trust Beerus' fear at the U6 tournament but if the wish at the end of the ToP isn't bringing back the other universes, then that's another instant loss.

There's something you need to keep in mind-the "Infinite Finite Curve" that the Ricks constructed mean that they collected every universe where Rick Sanchez was the most important, dominant, intelligent being into one corner of the multiverse for them to use as their sandbox. This means that outside of Rick's own multiverse, he's much more likely to lose or fail to achieve his goals-as other beings and concepts are allowed to be more dominant.

[@WillQuinn-rz3my]

This entire argument doesn’t make any sense. Much lesser Ricks were dominating whatever universe they were in, much less C-137. And for most of this time, the Curve was not a thing. Rick made the Curve when he was already an old man, and when the Citadel was during development, meaning it’s probably more of a recent thing. So all Ricks have been traversing the multiverse without being in the Curve longer than they’ve been in the Curve.

[@Fafnir8080]

I see your point, but it doesn't really matter for this discussion. Even if he wasn't the smartest being, the feats of intelligence he has shown are more then enough for this video. The things that he theoretically could do in the dbz verse are things other characters have done or he himself has done

[@williamfalls]

I don't think he'd make it past Buu arc, even if he got everything he wanted up to that point. Buu has unpredictable magic/physics that Rick wouldn't have any prior knowledge of, so no cheap exploitable weakness. And I don't think he'd have enough power gathered to suddenly be stronger than ssj3 at this point. The only way he would've survived Buu arc is if he prevented Buu's revival. Assuming he prevented Buu's revival. That skips the arc entirely and the vast power difference from DBS would be that something is inevitably gonna kill Rick. Be it God of Destruction or Frieza with training, both are too fast/strong for the sudden dramatic shift from ssj2-ish power to God ki.
