I prefer consistency, but I also generally am not fond of battle power debates anymore. So I guess i'll just try to not let it annoy that side of myself.
6-10-15 is irrelevant at this point. I'm assuming the tree and mountain comparison really was the truth. Beerus never said how much goku took him in super after all. Beerus did say 10 percent against enraged vegeta but that doesn't mean enraged vegeta was 10 percent of his power level. It just that means ten percent of Beerus can destroy enraged vegeta which is stronger than ss3 goku. That could mean vegeta could be around 1-5 percent beerus. And then, ssg could be 15 percent beerus while still being much stronger than enraged vegeta. That gives a lot of room for ssb and kaioken

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

They try and stop him but can't or they just don't notice him because they are concentrating on Champa.

We still don't even know if he can even sustain the Kaioken for long.

Kinda dissapointing to know that the final fight of the tournament is that short.

It's not about the Toriyama BOG numbers. Whis still said that Goku and Vegeta together would be able to handle Beerus at the end of the Golden Freeza Arc. So if Goku doubles his power with Kaio-ken after training for 3 years in the RoSaT, he should be able to do it himself.

As always though, it's speculation without having seen the episode. Have to wait to see what actually happens and judge afterwards.

Whis and Vados are in league of their own.

Why did any of us expect Hit to beat Goku when Goku was reinstated because what would be the point of reinstating him otherwise.

Remember when Monaka vaporized a planet? Guess what else is planet-sized and is hovering around the Nameless Planet :wink:

Was that even said in Super? I thought that was only said in the movie.

This tournament is comparable to Baba's (5 v 5) and they're both 7 episodes long. I think that's ok length and it's nice that it concludes in round number.

He will probably destroy the Nameless planet which will turn out to be the last Super Dragon Ball.

But didn't Whis say it was not a good idea to bring him so maybe he can't stop him. We also need something to happen in the series that effects Whis, Vados, Beerus and Champa abilities.

Hmm. So the Kaioken seems to be making a comeback. Interesting. I'm also super hyped about the abilities Hit has in store. This is shaping up to one hell of conclusion to the tournament.

Yes, I believe that too.
Crazy spoilers though! Goku with Kaio-ken? Hit using some time ability? Awesome :thumbup:

Didn't even think of that, but nah, my money's on Monaka.

I don't see why they would care about the U6 fighters and whatever Champa does to them. Besides, Beerus will be too busy celebrating to bother.
If it's Monaka, it's probably a sign he went out of control.

As long as Monaka kills Goku. Monaka must have some transformation or some huge Ki coming out him f it is him to scare everyone.

That is why this tournament is shit, it was just used to show Goku's and Vegeta's power as this is the Goku and Vegeta show.

Frost beat Piccolo.
If Frost beat Piccolo he then also beat Goku. Frost cheated so he won no fight so Hit is the only one with a win by actual fighting.

Wait, why would Monaka attack anyone else than Champa? Unless he completely loses his mind.
