What other requirements are there that the U6 Saiyans didn't fulfill?
Also Vegeta was the strongest Saiyan alive. By definition he was already beyond the average Saiyan...which is a very vague range considering most were weaker than Nappa it would seem and an average is always moving.
This isn't how it works. Even if Vegeta was the current strongest Saiyan, he was still within regular Saiyan levels. This isn't defined by the currently alive Saiyans, it is defined by the nature of the Saiyan race.
Plus Goten and Trunks in base werent at the level of Namek Goku when they gained SSJ.
Goten & Trunks are stated to be special cases. Check my original post again.

What? When did Whis imply that?
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

MagmonKai wrote:Lol, so Vegeta who is on par with Goku is supposed to lose to Ribrianne an unknown fighter from universe 2? I would hope he would at least be taken out by someone we know is on Goku's level like Toppo. Guys, I don't really see why people think he's going to fall to her. Maybe it's going to be an intense battle, but I don't see him falling to her.

The answer is simple. Some guys here just want Vegeta to be ringed out so badly that they come up with various theories which can prove their point. I don't even like Vegeta that much but I can't really understand the hate for him, lol. He is quite interesting character in comparison to those lackluster guys we have in the TOP.



The better question is - how big is that arena they're fighting on? Shouldn't be there...I dunno, more cramped or sth?

Er... What? A lot of people criticize the main heroes for waiting their enemies transform instead of attacking them from the start. I like that #17 don't give a damn about Brianne and her Teletubbie form, it makes things looks realistic. Hope he gives her a good spanking.

All these are so predictable that it's lame, hope it's fake. Also I don't think U4 will be erased so easily.

1) I'm not saying they shouldnt have gotten in. I'm saying it should have taken longer than ten seconds.

2) How do we know what the average Saiyan level is? Its an assumption either way.

3) If there are special cases it isnt a requirement because the rule has been violated.

Why? They have already trained their asses through the years, and they were told how to do it.

It's not an assumption, the manga stated it's between 30.000 & 60.000. The U6 Saiyans are far beyond that level.
If there are special cases it isnt a requirement because the rule has been violated.
Only for Goten & Trunks.

I guess because it just seems like lazy writing is all. You can disagree its fine I respect that.

Why only Goten and Trunks? Either something is a hard rule or it isnt. If there are 2 exceptions there could certainly be many more right?

#17 will whoop some rear ends in the upcoming episode (except for Pride Troopers he will probably also beat some henchmen) and then get elliminated by Rebrianne. It would be an interesting twist cuz no one expected #17 to go as a #2 but considering how he despised Krillin because of dropping his guard, this can be actually giving his nose a flick.

And also this stupid theory based on some ending that Vegeta goes down as a #3 would fall apart cuz Tien wouldn't be #2 to go down in that case.
