Will Black use the Kaioken or Spirit Bomb techniques?

Post by Shinomori » Sat Oct 22, 2016 5:30 pm

I found it interesting how Goku Black knew how to use the instantaneous movement technique. He's also used the Kamehameha. So with all that in mind, I'm sure he also knows the Kaioken and Spirit Bomb. Do you guys think he will use them against Goku, Vegeta, and Trunks? By the way, if Black uses this technique, it's possible he would be on par or even stronger than Beerus. When Goku used the move in the universe 6 tournament, it had Beerus sweating ever so slightly. Well, with Black's ever increasing power, I think that should put him on par with the God of Destruction.

Doubtful, Toei is probably gonna try real hard to make us forget about KK and that's a stance I'll stick to until they acknowledge it again in anyway.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

Only if Goku uses it first. So he can copy it.

Is that how that works? Cause there's really nothing that says that, the manga even has him know IT without ever seeing it.

Yeah Black can do instantaneous movement but I can't see him doing the Kaioken because he wasn't taught by King Kai on how to do it

The show is making us believe Black is the same Zamasu from the present time. If that's the case (and I hate it if it is), then Zamasu saw Goku's fight with Hit when he used the Kaioken. He should be able to use it, though he didn't see Goku use the Spirit Bomb. However like Ekrolo said, Black may not need to see Goku use it to know how to use his techniques. It could be his body that makes him know about those moves.

Manga Black probably can already use all of Goku's skills but it seems like they made a point in the anime that Black can only use Goku's techniques after he has seen them. Super Saiyan and Instant Transmission he only used them after Goku did. Though he did use the Kamehameha against future Trunks, so I don't know.

No. The point is that he can't use techniques that he doesn't know. They wanted to show a misused version of goku's body like with ginyu

The idea of a Kai being unable to use the ability that happens to be an iconic offensive staple of their species does seem odd. Part of me attributes this to many of the Kaioshins being more of the defencive psychic ability type than a durable fisticuffs fighter who allocates their training time to improving their physical brawn.

Black using the Kaioken would be the perfect cherry on top for this ironical perverse emulation of Goku's being -- not only would it represent a symbolical "turn the gun on its user" kind of situation, it would be the perfect means for Black to overcome Vegeta, another strangely amusing callback to previous arcs. I would rather not see the Spirit Bomb, though.
