The episode says Vegeta surpasses one, which wouldn't be the case if he became one but Titles have been misleading before.

They didn't say anything about his new form ahead of time so maybe this is some big secret they've been keeping.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

He could be stronger than Toppo as a GoD, even slightly, I doubt every official GoD has the same exact power level, there are differences for sure, though small

Yes, I doubt that Super Vegeta blue is his definitive new form, will be another thing to rival Goku's uber predictable perfected UI

Well, Beerus slept for...forever, Whis could permit Vegeta to spend his spare time on Earth with his family, having continuos training and doing his GoD work / training with Whis occasionally

Tell me about it, limit is not a thing Saiyan DNA seems to have, and when that's not enough, you got old Saiyan ghosts giving you godly powerups..
Which is why Freeza did nothing wrong when he wiped them out.
Absolutely, in fact Frost should have done that same with his sadala when he had the chance..

You mean Beerus? Yea, then I somewhat agree with that.
Beerus is great, but I'm very certain that there are a lot of people who haven't read the Jaco manga, or would like to see it adapted into an anime. As a prequel arc, it'd be great to see.
Only dubs that matter are DB, Kai, & Super. Nothing else.

You never know, especially considering he will pretty much outlive his family anyway.

He's in his 50's right now and once saiyans turn 80 they age rapidly (unless he takes the job of GoD) so trunks and bulla will live longer than him

Yeah, but that's merely established fact, so they can easily retcon this or introduce a new rule, like "superior body mastery slows aging" (Roshi can teach the technique).

I'm more concerned with the implications of the GoD job. I don't see good Vegeta performing genocide again. Also, he shouldn't have any job, since his role is at the side of Goku.

I wonder, what the future will hold for the character of Beerus. If Goku and Vegeta surpass him, all of the "I'll turn you into spacedust"-dynamic would be gone. Maybe they can defeat Jiren without surpassing him individually. I have seen some aversion to fusion in this board, but I'm with Zeno on this one: If it's done really cool, all sins are forgiven.

They can say that him and Goku can now live to 500 due to them gaining SsjG and that Ki.

Unless he utilizes the GoD only for tournament's remaining time, or becomes the GoD till the end, then losers are restored but all universes merge in one, basically making official GoD role useless, or at least giving to the best GoD the assignment of ruling on the big new one ( maybe the non participant universes' gods?)

Unless they go the Merged Megaverse route I can't imagine that being God of Destruction would keep him terribly busy with just 28 planets to cover, one of which he lives on and one being Namek which is as exciting as a cracker. Besides, Beerus doesn't seem like he's planning to step down any time soon so he probably wouldn't succede into the position for decades unless Beerus got laid off. :P

He wasn't weak, but he certainly wasn't GoD level strong before. This is clearly a new power that he manages to awaken due to being cornered and nearly eliminated by Freeza and 17. Probably some deep hidden potential that he has due to being chosen as the next GoD.
What I refer to is people taking his line out of contexts. Toppo detractors used his "I'm not shore I could beat him" line to infer that Toppo was not as powerful as he was made out to be. Compeletly negeltecting Goku's own missgivings on who would be the winner between them bespite haveing SSBKKx20 up his sleeve.

Toppo was always very strong but Toppo The God of Destcution is the final nail in that idea.
I certainly don't believe he's SSBKKx20 strong. He wouldn't be getting pushed back and cornered by two SSB level fighters if that was the case. He's about SSB level or maybe a bit higher prior to this GoD power-up IMO.

Like I said though, you can't really use GoD Toppo to argue against Toppo detractors because he just now acquired this power. It wasn't something he had before.
Nor am I suggesting as such, but its still stands that even with that little trick in his back pocket Goku was still unsure of Toppo so that's clearly puts him in normal SSB's ball park or maybe little stronger when he gets serious. We'll see how they scale up at full power, not counting UI, tonight.

Strange, I thought by this time this thread would be still full of spoilers, I guess people are waiting the subs before watching today episode (which is better) :)

With Gohan out of the tournament it's obvious interest has diminished. 17 and Freeza should put on a good show though.

Speak for yourself Precita. My enjoyment wasn't tied to Gohan's involvement.
