I’m not going back and forth with you man. If you can’t see why Jiren, whose design literally looks like just an alien can breathe in space and Goku can’t, idk what to tell you.

Right, but that was something that happened in dragon ball. Z got rid of that completely (except when Vegeta was training on some random planet in the garlic Jr. Saga).PerhapsTheOtherOne wrote:It's just the thing they're going with for the Saiyans.

I have no doubt if Geran can ability survive in space. But your reason for why he can, and Saiyan can't is only just head-canon that you're treating like fact and it doesn't even work for other fictional franchises like Marvel and DC.TheOne wrote:I’m not going back and forth with you man.

Why I use "Geran" instead of "Jiren"

In the anime it was implied Super Saiyan Goku and Frieza were faster than the Capsule Corporation Spaceship which was was about 5 times as fast as Kami's spaceship which flew to Jupiter in.....what? Seconds?
Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
You're talking about the thing where Kaio-sama could see the MFTL ships but couldn't see SSJ Goku and Freeza fight, right? If so, that's not a sign of the fight being FTL considering IRL humans could see jets move a sonic speeds while most of them could barely keep up with a flurry of punches.Bullza wrote:In the anime it was implied Super Saiyan Goku and Frieza were faster than the Capsule Corporation Spaceship which was was about 5 times as fast as Kami's spaceship which flew to Jupiter in.....what?

Well he wouldn't have been using his eyes anyway would he? He was able to target Goku and keep track of him while he was on a MFTL spaceship but couldn't do the same when he was flying around and fighting Frieza.Helios518 wrote:You're talking about the thing where Kaio-sama could see the MFTL ships but couldn't see SSJ Goku and Freeza fight, right?

In real life you wouldn't see the flurry of punches but you'd still see the person throwing them.

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
This episode was a bit more talky than I expected, but still:
- SSJ Kafla can't lay a finger on Ultra Instinct Goku, as expected.
- Kafla powers up to SSJ2.
- Goku notes he's now getting used to his Ultra Instinct form
- SSJ2 Kafla can't land a hit on Ultra Instinct Goku (duh)
- JIREN HAS AWOKEN
- Ultra Instinct Goku continues to evade everything SSJ2 Kafla throws at him
- SSJ2 Kafla is hit with a Kamehameha from Ultra Instinct Goku at point blank range. The blast is so fierce it not only eliminates Kafla, but it also breaks the Potara earrings, causing Kafla to defuse.
- CAULIFLA AND KALE ARE OUT
- Goku loses his Ultra Instinct form and is out of power (again)
- NEP has Android 17 and 18 fighting Rozie and Ribrianne

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
So, Kefla turned into SSJ2 right? What is your level? She theoretically got 2x more powerful, so maybe she overcame Goku SSB and is on the same level as the Goku SSB Kaioken (we do not know how much Goku SSB was weakened in the past EP, it's hard to say)

As far as I know, it seems as though Ultra Instinct is its own beast of a form that is immensely powerful regardless of how much ki you have in the tank when you activate it.dbzfan7 wrote:So is the tired downplay still a thing or?

I meant more in the downplay to try and not make Kafla seem as bad as she rubs off on a lot of people.Lord Beerus wrote:As far as I know, it seems as though Ultra Instinct is its own beast of a form that is immensely powerful regardless of how much ki you have in the tank when you activate it.dbzfan7 wrote:So is the tired downplay still a thing or?

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
I like how Kafla is not directly eliminated but defuses and the girls for real are eliminated instead. I just wish Kafla at least would have landed one hit. One hit. Not more. So she at least would have done something in this episode.

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
I guess this is not necessary, it would be overdone and strange if she could hit UI Goku. She got the SSJ2 in this battle, that's enoughCetra wrote:I like how Kafla is not directly eliminated but defuses and the girls for real are eliminated instead.

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
Well, but she will probably never appear again so Legendary Controlled Super Saiyajin 2 could still at least have made one hit before ultimately having no actual effect. Just to show, okay, she is something but not THAT.TheSaiyanGod wrote:I guess this is not necessary, it would be overdone and strange if she could hit UI Goku.

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
I'd say she was a notch below full power SSB Goku in her first Super Saiyan form, so she's likely also a notch below a fully-powered Kaioken x 2 version in her second.TheSaiyanGod wrote:So, Kefla turned into SSJ2 right?

On the other hand, if SS Kefla is at least partially modified by Kale's much-higher-than-fifty-times berserker/Legendary Super Saiyan state, as it very well could be, then it's hard to say exactly what the multipliers are with that form in the mix.

Yes, the '' multipliers '' for SSJ2 (Berserker version) may be different.Marlowe89 wrote:I'd say she was a notch below full power SSB Goku in her first Super Saiyan form, so she's likely also a notch below a fully-powered Kaioken x 2 version in her second.TheSaiyanGod wrote:So, Kefla turned into SSJ2 right?

But we have a problem.
In my opinion Kale when turning into SSJ Berserker overcame Goku SSJ3 (she was undeniably stronger than Goku SSJ2)
Base Kefla, who was dominating Goku SSG, when turning into SSJ Berserker, was not able to beat Goku SSB (tired). So the SSB would have to have a multiplier far above the SSJ2 or else the SSJ Berserker is not as strong as we thought
Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
Watched the episode with subs.
- Whis says that Super Saiyan Kefla's energy rivalled the Spirit Bomb from before.
- She then turns into a Super Saiyan 2 and Piccolo says she's stronger (I forget the exact word) than Ultra Instinct Goku from when he used it on Jiren.
- Kefla said she could blow up a universe in one shot.
- Ultra Instinct Goku is stronger this time around and won in the end.
It looks like Kefla was a lot stronger than first thought. Actually kind of confusing to be honest. If Super Saiyan 2 Kefla was above Ultra Instinct Goku then Ultra Instinct Goku surely couldn't have been as strong as Super Saiyan Blue Vegito or maybe even Merged Zamasu.
It would also mean Super Saiyan 2 Kefla would have been considerably stronger than Super Saiyan Blue Kaioken x20. Meaning Super Saiyan Kefla would be considerably stronger than Super Saiyan Blue Kaioken x10..
Yet in the last episode it seemed like she was only a match for a tired Super Saiyan Blue....so that's confusing.
