20 tons to adjust for the fact that Vegeta was a super saiyan and goku wasnt.

What do you mean? He was up in the air in at first, but it's obvious that if held for a split second longer he was going to fall straight. I mean it doesn't even look like he held it in his base form for two seconds before turning super saiyan. The big question should be, would Goku be able to pick it up if it was on the ground in his base form?

Re: Do you think a guidebook would...
The intention of that panel is extremely clear in showing that he couldn't lift it at all. There's no inherent inconsistency between this and Super Saiyan Vegeta being unable to lift 1,000 tons.PFM18 wrote: Like i said, he was struggling to lift it.
Re: Do you think a guidebook would...
I don't see it that way. I think the purpose was to scare the guy watching Goku struggle with 40 tons then be completely unable to even notice the difference when he goes SSJ. The scene just showed the power of SSJ. Even so, lifting X amount of weight is much easier than carrying it around on your body, so either way Begeta being unable to lift 1000 tons as a Super Saiyan makes no sense given that the scene where Goku has 40 tons in base weighing him down and can still fly, exists.Marlowe89 wrote:The intention of that panel is extremely clear in showing that he couldn't lift it at all.

Any way you slice it, it is completely ridiculous that SSJ Vegeta this late in the Dragon Ball story can't even lift 1000 tons, given that he should be able to destroy a universe, (or atleast in the anime he can.) I mean in original Dragon ball they were pushing boulders that should weigh several tons.

Re: Do you think a guidebook would...
Goku wasn't still flying. The lines drawn from his entire body (as opposed to just his limbs) visually indicated a downward trajectory the moment they were manifested. Those weights were literally dragging him to the ground because he couldn't handle them in any capacity until he was already in mid-transformation; he just happened to transform before they could pull him that far.PFM18 wrote:so either way Begeta being unable to lift 1000 tons as a Super Saiyan makes no sense given that the scene where Goku has 40 tons in base weighing him down and can still fly, exists.
Again, Goku being unable to lift 40 tons in base prior to the Buu arc is entirely compatible with the idea of Vegeta currently being unable to lift 1,000 tons as a Super Saiyan. Absolutely nothing in the source material contradicts it.
Re: Do you think a guidebook would...
There have indeed been retcons.
At first, Goku and Vegeta were supposed to have absorbed the godly power into base. When a Saiyan in such a state goes SSj, the result is SSj Blue. This portrayal was shown in the BoG and Potaufeu arcs, as well as some odd "filler" episodes, like Goku vs Beerus in Monaka's disguise.
But soon afterwards, like in the U6 tournament, this approach appeared to have been abandoned, and the regular SSj forms made a comeback. By that point it was clear that Goku and Vegeta aren't being portrayed as having SSj God power in base. Unless you find it believable that base Cabba, who'd never even heard of regular SSj, was stronger than SSj God - a tier of power considered by Goku to be not achievable through regular means.
Same goes for Future Trunks. The old SSj forms were brought back for marketing reasons as well as to create a more engaging show. The writers probably realized that replacing like 5 power tiers marked by transformations with just the base form where Goku just modifies his PL wouldn't make for a very exciting watch. And then even SSj God itself was brought back, to me the final nail in the coffin to the notion of the god power remaining absorbed into base.
Unless you really think SSj God first merges into your base, and then gives you the same multiplier over that new base. In that case, heavens have mercy on you

Re: Do you think a guidebook would...

There's a very obvious reason why Toyo didn't include that scene. It was done intentionally and deliberately. He wanted to keep SSG relevant by making it an active form and planned ahead. Goku didn't absorb SSG's power in the manga, period. Anything else is headcanon.
As for the guidebook. Super's guidebook would prob not include a lot of powerscaling details. And if it did, it would prob just contradict itself with the show and cause more shitstorm towards fans.

SSGSS is the manifestation of a godly Super Saiyan form. Hence the hair being the SSJ style.
There was never anything contradicted by this at all. Goku's power infused the power he experienced in such a way that his SSJ form was equivalent to his SSG form after BoG. hence all of his forms gained an astronomically large boost. No such retcon exists because Goku's base was never supposed to be stronger than SSG. That would undermine the entire plot of BoG wanted to find a SSG to be his rival if any of Cabba, Frost, or Magetta would all be as strong as stronger than SSG. All of the 3 aforementioned fighters are stronger than base but weaker than SSJ.(Prior to Cabba reaching SSJ himself) So all of them are weaker than SSG. Goku said he didn't feel any weaker once he dropped into SSJ there was that whole scene where this happened. There was never any mention of his base having the same strength as SSG. If Goku had absorbed the power into his base, then his SSJ form against Beerus would have been 50x stronger than SSG, btu that wasn't the case. Goku's base went from being weaker than Freeza and then it was far far stronger than SSJ3 Gotenks. His base still got a sizable boost but it was never as strong as SSG.
to quantify this let me give you an idea of what I am saying by my estimations.
Beerus Arc:
SSJ3 Goku: 1
SSG Goku: 20,000
SSJ Goku(post-SSG): 22,000
Base Goku: 440
SSG ~ SSJ(post BoG)
NOT SSG ~ Base(post BoG)
The only way Goku's base could be stronger than SSG is if he got more than 50x stronger since BoG. So yeah there was never a retcon because Goku in base being stronger than SSG was never actually established in the first place.

That doesn't change the fact that Toei still shoehorned it in after being absent for almost 100 episodes without so much as a surprise from the cast. It literally did nothing to move the plot forward and any other existing transformation would've fulfilled the same role. It's a retcon since it goes against what was established from the BoG arc.

Re: Do you think a guidebook would...
I think it would sell quite a bit of money when it comes out, and the people writing it might think to include some trivia such as those facts
Re: Do you think a guidebook would...
This is patently untrue. Dragon Ball Volume 'F', Dokkan Battle, and Toyotaro's Resurrection 'F' tie-in manga are all very explicit about showing that Goku learned to obtain the power of a Super Saiyan God in just his ordinary base form, additionally establishing that transforming into a Super Saiyan while using that power results in a "Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan" (or Super Saiyan Blue). Those materials further corroborate the correct translation of Goku's stated definition for Blue, which was also present in Super and not just the film.PFM18 wrote:So yeah there was never a retcon because Goku in base being stronger than SSG was never actually established in the first place.
This means one of two things -- either Goku has two base states, which is highly unlikely, or retroactive continuity was applied somewhere along the line, which goes along with what Saturnine was saying. Both the Super manga's more streamlined approach and some supplementary materials for the anime lend support for the retcon interpretation.
Re: Do you think a guidebook would...
So you are referencing a game and a manga that was meant for the movie? That means absolutely nothing. The movies are their own thing and OBVIOUSLY they were retconned because they were literally overwritten by the respective arcs in DBS. The DBS anime never established that SSG<Base so it showing things that may imply otherwise does not contradict anything because it was never established in the first place.Marlowe89 wrote:This is patently untrue.
