It was never treated as a skill. He didn't need to sense Vegeta to know of Blue's limitations and make his strategy, since he himself had Blue and he trained 3 years with Vegeta prior to the competition.

Something like language I guess but more natural, can't think of a better analogy. If I have it I can understand it and vice versa, someone who doesn't have it is left wondering what the hell is going on. Except you have to turn it on.

It's really lame to say, 'could have for whatever reason', if you can't even give a theory or even humor a guess as to why Toei may have ignored the outline by Toriyama and decided not to show Super Saiyan God Goku in the Champa or Future Trunks Saga.

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

Why would hit have rapid improvement in the anime but not in the manga?

That is a skill Toei created, not the same as them not using Super Saiyan God if it was in Toriyama's outline. And considered this, Hit was just severely rusty in the manga and could only used his full power for a short time like 100% Freeze. So Hit not being entirely at his best since he never have to improved is true in both versions.

He got it after the ritual, he didn't learn it. Dende is also able to by being Kami, Piccolo is implied to know about it and not have it in the manga, due to him being Kami before. Nobody was ever taught it in any medium that I can remember. Certainly not in the manga, that I'm sure.

Yes, but the method doesn't matter, Goku already has God Ki, so he should be able to sense it.

Maybe in the manga Goku can't sense god ki without being in one of his Super Saiyan forms.

Doctor. wrote:Shouldn't Goku be able to sense God Ki? Why is he saying he can't sense Toppo or the Gods of Destruction? I'm pretty sure he sensed how much Ki Vegeta lost back in the U6 arc and IT'd to either Beerus or Zamasu at some point.
Goku is not able to feel the GoD's Ki while in BASE form. In the manga, it was never introduced the '' concept '' that Goku / Vegeta could feel the divine Ki in the normal state.

And when Goku felt that Vegeta's Ki fell in the Champa tournament?

Which he does when he turns SSJG, it's a "come with the package deal", it was never implied he was able to in any form besides it and Blue.
It's nothing more than being considerate a God by whatever arbitrary rules there are in Dragon Ball's Universe.

Zamasu is close enough and I think Goku can teleport just by looking since he can imagine the place.

No. He already had Trunks in his hands before he teleported. This is the previous page:

So? He also could feel his Ki back in the Boo arc, would you say Goku had this skill way before then?

Pretty sure, conveniently enough, that nobody besides Piccolo could sense Shin's Ki. Even if they could, I already criticized the entire concept of God Ki back in BoG for opening up plot holes since Goku teleported multiple time to Kaio's and Kaio can sense Beerus.

What about it? Zamasu should also have God Ki.

Me too the whole concept of God Ki is flawed for these reasons, they could have made exclusive to the Hakaishin.

The Kais are a little weird since King Kai is a Kai, yet Goku could teleport to him before he got Super Saiyan God, unless you believe he was really sensing Bubbles. Which then beg the question why he was so shocked that he couldn't sense Beerus and King Kai had to explained that mortals can't sense gods.

Fantastic chapter. Honestly, Toppo's introduction and general characterization was a bit more in-depth in the anime, but overall I feel that the manga's version of the exhibition match was definitely the more interesting of the two. The general structure of Goku vs. Toppo just had more going for it here.

I find it amusing that Toppo was just smiling and having a normal friendly conversation with Goku, praising his power and all, after their battle ended.
completely different from the Anime, where he was such a dick.

Also, Toppo looks really weird smiling because of his big mustache.
