What are the chances of Goku's Dragon Fist becoming canon?

Post by Khandom101 » Tue Nov 28, 2017 12:10 pm

I mean there has been a lot stuff going on lately, like non-cannon things becoming cannon, few of these examples are:
1.The legendary super saiyan state
2.Super kaioken
3.Absorbing the spirit bomb.
So what are the chances of Goku using the dragon fist technique?

Like, I guess it might become canon, the fight choreography is left entirely to toie, but how does one reply to what are the chances of that without a trip to Baba's..

I hope we see it in Super. Dragon Fist is definitely by far the coolest move in the entire franchise, and it's literally Goku's only original attack.

There's every chance the attack could migrate into Super, if the series director(s) feel enticed enough to include it.

That may be true, don't know if Toriyama would approve of it though.

Toriyama let everything goes as long as it doesn't feel too out-of-place.

Final Kamehameha debut in video game, but there it is in the main series. Janemba's portal punches also appears in the manga too. So yeah, there are chances of Dragon Fist appearing in the main series. It all depends on Toei and Toyotaro.

Dragon Fist is a wonderful attack, and it always felt like Goku's absolute final resort without having to use Spirit Bomb.

Such as against Eis Shenron or Hirudegarn

I don't see why it couldn't. Goku just had the move in movie 13/GT with no explanation of where/when/how he learned it so there's no continuity to worry about.

I dont see why not, they may even add a twist in it like "Dragon God Fist" since the series is into Gods now.
Would be a cool throwback to Kid Goku's penetrate attack.

I will never understand why things like Blue Kaioken are canon while Super Kaioken is not.

As for Dragon Fist, if Toei wants to add it, they will. Not too much to discusd there.
