Why Goku ISN'T universal!

Status
Not open for further replies.
So, let's analysis Goku's feat. We start with Goku and Beerus clashing their fists. Their clashes create bunch of shockwaves. 3 clashes and the shockwaves were going to destroy the universe. That's alright, but the problem is that Goku wasn't going to destroy the universe with his own power. The shockwaves created by their clashes were going to destroy it. Elder Kai STATED that these shockwaves were getting stronger as they were traveling in space. And even at their starter point ( their weakest state ) they managed to push both Beerus and Goku back. In fact, SSJG Goku even screamed when he got hit by one. So it's fair to say that these shockwaves were superior to both of them. Many people bring the statements from the narrator, but the problem is that the narrator statements are just for hype and they are wrong almost all the time. The narrator's statements are not more reliable than character statements. If they get contradicted in the show itself then they are pretty much worthless. So the only actual feat performed by them was when they shook the Mortal Universe on their first clash. However, i doubt that shaking the universe is even close to destroying it.

Not only that they weren't going to destroy the universe with their own power, but the feat was also poorly written and very inconsistent and it shouldn't be taken seriously. Remember how the shockwaves were proven to be superior to Goku and Beerus? At the time these shockwaves couldn't even destroy the Earth. In fact, they didn't even hurt people on Earth. Taking this feat seriously would be like saying that Goku and Beerus aren't even planetary. And that's bullshit since even the Saiyan Saga characters were confirmed to be planet busters. Not only that, but the speed of the shockwaves was also inconsistent. The people on Earth could see and react to them, yet they reached the Kaioshin Realm in the frame after? Are they slower than sound or MFTL+?? This feat shouldn't be taken seriously.

And their blast clash literally debunks that the universe was going to be destroyed to begin with. We know for a fact that their blasts are stronger than their fists. So logically the blast clash would be stronger than the fist clashes, right? Meaning that the shockwaves created by the blast clash would also be stronger than the ones created by their fist clash. Yet these shockwaves didn't destroy the universe. According to Elder Kai, the shockwaves from their third clash were going to destroy the universe. And we know that the shockwaves were the problem because the reason the universe didn't get destroyed after their third clash according to Elder Kai was because Goku matched the force and the angle of their attacks which prevented the shockwaves from coexisting. If the shockwaves from their third clash were really going to destroy the universe, then why didn't these even stronger shockwaves do it later on? So this pretty much points out that everyone was wrong and the universe wasn't going to be destroyed. I know that people are gonna bring some narrator statements so I'm gonna say it again, these statements are just for hype and they are very often inaccurate. If they get contradicted in the show, then they're completely worthless.

Okay, so now the only thing left for me to debunk is their blast clash being capable of destroying the universe. Elder Kai did say that the universe was gonna get destroyed, but after the energy spreads across the universe. Therefore, it was going to be more of a chain reaction than anything. Very similar to Omega Shenron's Minus Energy which was going to spread across the universe and destroy it via a chain reaction.

And let's be real here, after all that inconsistency the feat has shown, after all the poorly written statements and even the proof that they were wrong that the universe would be destroyed the first time, could you really take anything from this feat seriously? I mean, people complain when other fandoms use inconsistent scenes to downplay, yet this fandom can be just as bad. Everyone uses inconsistent feats to wank. So it's getting kind of hypocritical at this point.

"But wait, isn't Goku comparable to Beerus and Champa who would destroy the universe if they fight each other?"

Yes, it was stated that both universes would get destroyed if they fought, but we don't know HOW were they gonna get destroyed. From what we know it was gonna get destroyed by shockwaves just like when Beerus fought Goku. Or they were gonna destroy it planet by planet and star by star until nothing's left as they were doing in the manga. So until we get a consistent universal feat performed by Beerus, Champa or Goku that makes sense, this statement shouldn't be taken seriously. Besides, Goku is nowhere near their level as form now since Golden Freeza who's SSJB level barely managed to escape Sidra's energy of destruction while Beerus destroyed it with his breath alone.

I think it's the best to downgrade everyone except Zen'o and Spirit Zamasu to 'Solar System level, possibly far higher' since there's no evidence of them being even Galaxy level at this point. Maybe characters such as Merged Zamasu and Vegito Blue would be Galaxy level if we go by the manga since Zamasu said that he was gonna destroy the entire galaxy, but that's the highest they go.

I really do feel like this wiki is starting to ignore alot of debunks over the feats in Dragon Ball just because people will get mad at them if they downgrade somebody, but this wiki shouldn't be biased. It shouldn be biased just to satisfy the fans.
 
Don't mind me, just reading this amd getting a laugh out of shit that's been debunked thousands of times over.

Yo Weekly, want some popcorn?
 
ALL of Dragon Ball characters hold-back irrationally except in absolutely dire situations (Goku vs Frieza, Gohan vs Cell, Goku vs Beerus, Goku/Vegeta/Vegito vs Zamasu). I think that pretty much explains all of the inconsistencies
 
So going by your logic Beerus is quadrillions or more times stronger than Vegito because he is only galaxy level while Beerus is universal
 
The truth of the matter is that this has been discussed...a lot. And debunked. Not only that, you accuse us as being biased and scared of fanboys.....Try again.
 
Anyway...

Super Saiyan God + Supressed Beerus could destroy the universe with 3 Clashes, or 6 punches total.

This means that 1 Super Saiyan God Goku punch = 1/6 of the Universe. And this is before Goku absorbs the Super Saiyan God's power into his base-form and then further strengthens himself by going Super Saiyan.

By the way, this is ignoring the fact that each clash was more destructive then the previous, and the third clash would destroy the whole universe and also reach the Kaioshin Realm, but Goku mastered his form before that. So at his peak, Super Saiyan God Goku is 1/2 Universal

Even ignoring that, we have so many new trainings Goku goes through to greatly enhance his power, and even new forms that he obtains, that it's ridiculous not to consider him Universal at this point, and a Universal far above the baseline.

As for the Blast's speed and destructivity, it grew faster and stronger the further away if was from the target. At Earth it caused tremors. Light-years away it caused planets and stars to explode. Even further away it caused more damage.

As for why the Kaioshin-Realm wasn't destroyed in the first 2 clashes, it's literally the size of 1/5th of the universe, so it makes sense it wouldn't blow up.

And in regards to Gods of Destruction, it's established lore that if two GoDs fight, the collateral damage of their battle will result in both of their respective universes being wiped out. This once again shows that they are FAR above Baseline Universal, since their shockwaves would not only destroy the universes themselves, but also progress through the space between them.
 
@RoyGundam Holding back has nothing to do with this.

@Ssrvegitoi I doubt that Beerus is universal. Besides, didn't both Beerus and Champa freak out when Zen'o destroyed Universe 9? Beerus even said something among the lines of "So he really can destroy a universe?" and Champa responded with "Insane.".

@Anonimoe7875 My bad.

@WeeklyBattles Well, i think my arguments are pretty decent, but okay.
 
"Besides, didn't both Beerus and Champa freak out when Zen'o destroyed Universe 9?"

Means nothing when said guy is literally leagues stronger than you and will erase you AND your universe from existence. Also we also have Vados stating that is two GoD fight each other, the universe will be destroyed.
 
@Ivo Holding back has everything to do with scaling of feats in DBS. Only the feats under extremely dire situation are meaningful because otherwise Goku and Vegeta simply use however much power is necessary to deal with their opponents. In fact, given how killing is prohibited in all of the "Tournaments" in DBS so far, it lends even more credence to the idea that Goku and Vegeta are consistently supressing their power levels.
 
Never knew the shockwave from a punch could be stronger than the punch its self, Ill remember this if im ever in a fight.

This guy still "debunk" episode 14 though.

None of the following scans are from the episode 12 shockwaves but from a different scene entirely. (also credit to @Ever)

 
@Matthew Schroeder

The point is that Goku and Beeres weren't going to destroy the universe with their own power. The shockwaves which were far superior to them were going to do it. And even that got contradicted during their blast clash.

And the Dragon Ball characters can't be above universal since te universe in DB isn't infinite in terms of size. In order to be above universal, for example multi-universal, you must at least have the ability to destroy a 2 universes with infinite size. And such universes are infinite times bigher than the ones in DB.

As for the speed of the shockwaves*. Nothing implies that the shockwaves were getting faster too. It was only stated that they were getting stronger.

It was never stated how were they going to destroy it. From what we know the universe was gonna get destroyed by shockwaves or it was gonna get destroyed over time just like when Beerus fought Champa in the manga and they were destroying it planet by planet.
 
@Ivo "And the Dragon Ball characters can't be above universal since te universe in DB isn't infinite in terms of size.

Destroying the entire Timeline of a finite space Universe is still Low 2C, destroying multiple such Timelines is solid 2C. Zeno has done both

The complete disregard for basic physics in the DB verse is hurting me.

Anyway, I'm glad someone actually answered the guy with the debunks instead of simply laughing at the topic.

Also, OP, regardless of whether or not it was the force of their fists or the shockwaves themselves, they were still causing the shockwaves. If you can cause a shockwave that is going to blow up the universe with your punches, you're universal.
 
After the blogs i made and i'm making about super, this thread should not even considered.

1. Yes it does, if I nearly destroy a Universe when I'm not even trying, I can when I am.

2. That's because to they're shocked Zeno went and killed so many people on a whim, this Zeno destroyed 6 universes long before the tournament, so this is something they knew he could do, just didn't think he would.

3. These arguments have been done before and got debunked and they'll be done again and get debunked.
 
The in-Verse explanation for why Goku and Beerus' clash didn't immediately destroy the Universe is that Goku somehow learned to control his power better. This is a generally accepted reasoning - One example would be all of the instances of Athena Exclamation in Saint Seiya
 
@RadicalMrR

Considering the fact that the shockwaves were shown to be superior to Goku and Beerus, then i guess it's possible in Dragon Ball due to the poor writing. And as i already said, the statements from the narrator are just for hype. They're often inaccurate. And they get contradicted in the show itself.

It wasn't contradicted. Not just the narrator, but the Kai's and I believe Whis confirmed it as well. Nothing states the shockwaves were stronger than Beerus or Goku. Unless you can give me a source that says such a thing. Poor Writing does not make the feat less legit.
 
@Gargoyle One

1. I failed to understand yor point. What does holding back have to do with the fact that Goku and Beerus got affected by sub-human level shockwaves which couldn't even destroy the Earth while serious ( at least Goku was serious ). It's a fact that the feats in Super are inconsistent at this point.

2. It's just the fact that Super contradicts itself all the time. Champa literally said that Zen'o is te god among all of the gods because of that feat.3: Sure. Th
