Dragon Ball Super Discussion Thread 100

"Goku becomes a Super Saiyan again." (Passage right next to the film poster). Confirming what was stated on the Toei Return of Cooler info Pamphlet/Film Comic, Goku used SSJ against Frieza, meaning the plot hole is doubly recitified.

Yeah pretty sure the guys who made the movie which Toriyama didn't take much part in just didn't think Goku could easily go Super Saiyan after Namek.

I like to think this was Goku's first time using Super Saiyan after Namek in this alternate dimension, so he couldn't go to that mental head space of rage on his own.

It’d be his fourth, probably? In the Toei Filler when (what is implied to be Goku is testing IT) he manifests as a SSJ. That would be his second. In the Cooler films Mecha Frieza and Trunks’ killing of him is stated to happen. That would be his third when he appears and tests the Time Traveller, since it happens pre-Cooler’s Revenge. Still high on the list of times, but not exactly the second.
 
Daizenshuu 2 declaring that "the level of the matches increased dramatically" since the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament should be grounds for Goku and co. being, bare minimum, above the likes of the Tien Shinhan Saga Goku and Tien, right?
 
It just occourd to me if Gaz and granola learned instant TP just from powering up via wish, dose that mean if your strong enough in base you just obtain the ability? There must be some implications there

The specification is "Your potential/the power you would have gotten in that time."

What this implies is just that (as silly as it may sound) Gas and Granolah would have learned superior IT in/by their old age, Moro's Magic, Hakai, etc. naturally had they lived normal lives and full lifespans rather than compressing and gaining their future power in the present.

Nah, we know that BoZ Yamcha is weaker than 22nd WT Tien.

Gas dose have sharp ears maybe his extra powers came from some internal demonic potential

Tho they also became the strongest in the universe, there potental is just the base wish, then he offered up his life spam to be the strongest (not counting gods)
 
King Piccolo can emit from the eyes "熱光線", which reads as "heat rays" ("heat" + "ray [of light]"). Can that be considered Heat Manipulation or a flowery description of standard Ki usage?
 
That page looks amazing, but is Ki manipulation a physiological trait of Saiyans? I thought it was a skill attained through training
 
Quick scaling chain off the top of my head based on the what-ifs I've seen:
UI Goku = LB Jiren ? Golden Freeza >> LSS2 Kefla > Base Freeza ~ SSBE Vegeta ~ Ultimate Gohan > GoD Toppo > Merged Zamasu ~ Vegito Blue > Goku Black > Base Vegito ? Gohan Black > Goku Blue ~ King Cold ~ Hit > FF Cooler > (gap) > SS2 Vegeta > SS3 Goku > (gap) > Piccolo = Grade 4 SS Goku

I haven't done the Trunks story yet so I can't comment on what scale his what-if gives him.
If you're using the what ifs, they have internal scaling (and frankly don't make sense. Goku Black Rose can destroy SSB Vegito in the same game SSB Vegito can destroy Fused Zamasu).

What if Golden Frieza does not = (Sparking) Canon Golde Frieza.

Pretty sure it's explained in that fight that Goku Black was using his AD to reach those levels. Hence him reaching it against Vegito Blue but not in the other what-ifs. Regardless when I scale Black to that it's him at his strongest what-if form. Which is able to survive fighting Vegito Blue.
What if Golden Frieza does not = (Sparking) Canon Golde Frieza.
I made no distinction between What If, Sparking or Canon or whatever else. I'm just taking them at their strongest in each of their stories.

There wasn't an explanation. Goku Black just could somehow do it. Later, Goku and Vegeta put up a fight against Black and Zamasu after failing with Vegito.

Tenkaichi has always had fun but crazy what-ifs that don't really make sense, it's part of the fun.
 
Yeah it should be taken out from the sandbox, manipulating ones ki is not something that comes from just being a saiyan
Nothing stated about this matter, however it is show that Ki come to Saiyan naturally, they can shoot ki blast and fly without actually knowing it is ki manipulation. Iirc, Vegeta only know about the whole ki manipulation shit until he come to earth

It absolutely is unless you’re Goku and you just born sucking at it relative to the species. Now, manipulating at advanced skill levels beyond manipulating it for flight and energy attacks (ie Raditz) isn’t granted by your physiology, that you do have to learn on your own. Such as the optimal way to approach Ki Use in tandem with forms (SSJ Grades), Ki Sensing, and the creation of techniques that completely sidestep their power-based philosophy (Ala Kaioken, Spirit Bomb, Multiform, Solar Flare, etc.)
 
Huh. It occurs to me this totally ignores that at some point another Timeline was generated by some other person who figured out Time Travel before Dragon Ball even started according to DBS.
Yes, a mortal from the 12th Universe figured out time travel hundreds of years before the events of DBZ. But that's irrelevant because we don't know the changes he made by doing that. As far as we know, nothing noteworthy changed.

Then it should be something acquired for mature saiyans naturally

another thing is, since the page says that it is only covering the canon manga and sequels, DBS Anime stuff should be removed as it isn't canon to the manga here anymore

So you think a separate blog post should be made for the super anime?

Edit: if there very similar the scope of the page should just expand to include super rather then having 2.
 
Are there any issues with this? I don't plan on making a CRT for this though
The only problems are those left for discussion in a possible crt.

It never happened, because @Omegabronic was in charge of it, and he's busy with the blue hedgehog.

Yes, because of that, I would probably have to throw all the shit from the DBS anime in the trash.

Speaking of which, wouldn't we have to change all the scans of the DBS anime pages that use the manga?

The same thing for the ki manipulation page, since it uses the dbs anime continuing from the manga and not the kai.
