What y'all think...?

[Akyon]

Oolong's a no brainer "nope". Elder Kai too. Pilaf for sure as he's as devious as Kid Krillin was. Shuu and Mai may be different though. They've never come off as very 'bad' themselves.

I'm curious where Tenshinhan and Yamcha would be though. Yamcha I'm leaning towards "no" but Tenshinhan seems to have thrown off worldy possessions to dedicate his time entirely to training. Somehow I doubt Piccolo could.

[Esfír Dedragón]

I thought it was more specific in the Original Japanese that if you had sexual lust, you couldn't ride it?

Or was that retconned?

[Akyon]

Just reread Volume 13. Yajirobe asks Korin to let him have a Nimbus too. Korin states he doesn't think Yajirobe will be able to ride it. Considering Yajirobe is never seen riding one and instead uses a hover car, I'd say he's incapable.

Could Zamasu ride it? I know this seems ridiculous on paper, but "purity" in Dragon Ball has never been characterized as "pure good", but more-so having a simple desire and doing everything to achieve it. Zamasu's desire involves killing people but he doesn't exactly think he's doing anything wrong.

Also, Oob has been confirmed being able to ride it and I'm pretty sure Mr. Boo could too.

I don't really agree with the top portion and would say no way in hell Zamasu could ride it. I also doubt Mr. Buu can ride it as he's been shown to have an extremely short temper. He isn't exactly "Good" due to that temper. The dude wanted to kill Beerus over pudding.

He's literally Fat Boo's good, though.

Also, if the SSG ritual is anything to go by, Trunks, Vegeta and Pan should be able.

I don't think a short temper should exclude him since it's not necessarily a negative trait. Anger is a natural emotion but he probably can't because he's now essentially Eric Cartman.

He can be all the good he wants but if he's killing people over pudding he's not pure hearted. Maybe there just wasn't much good there to begin with


Agreed on the last point...though I'd still be hesitant about Vegeta most of the three.

[RandomGuy96]

Daimao and Grey Buu probably could.

LOL The last line was pretty funny.

Anger might be natural but basically what you just said is that if someone at a party asks for pudding I can slaughter them and be a good person. Not sure I'm willing to concede that but since I doubt we will ever see him try so its possible he can. I dont think he's BAD, just not pure in the true sense of the word.

Being short temper isn't the same as being a selfish asshole. It's basically just overreacting to slights.

Pan could ride it (Not sure about GT Pan)


Also, Don't forget Tao-pai-pai

People need to understand that pure hearted does not mean pure good. The actual definition of pure is as follows:

(1) not mixed or adulterated with any other substance or material.
(2) without any extraneous and unnecessary elements.
(3) free of any contamination.

Goku's purity of heart trait relates back to Dragon Ball's Buddhist themes of detachment and clarity. Goku can go around and murder as many Red Ribbon Soldiers and Namekian demons as he wants, but as long as his mind and motives are "pure", he won't be excluded. Of course pure is an extremely subjective term in this context, but I think a lot of Dragon Ball characters would fall under the definition. Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, and Goten are all absolutely pure. They have pure desires, be it Goku and Vegeta's will to fight for the sake of fighting, or Goten's free, unadulterated spirit. The only saiyan I'm hesitant on is Trunks, both present and future.

I'm also hesitant on Piccolo, Tenshinhan, Beerus, and adult Krillin. Mr. Boo is absolutely pure of heart though, again it doesn't matter that he was willing to kill Beerus over pudding. It's because all of his motives were plain and surface level; he was angry because he wanted the pudding. He said that explicitly, he had nothing to hide, no deeper emotions or psychological reaction. It's not that he just didn't like Beerus personally, or he was offended, or anything extra like that. He just wanted pudding, period. It's one thing, therefore it's pure.

I don't think Freeza is pure of heart or desires, because although he is pure evil, his motives are clouded and realistically complex. As in he's not a freak saiyan who just wants to fight for fun and doesn't even care if they die. That's pure of motive. Freeza's greed is much more complex like that of a real person. Cell on the other hand, with his pure self obsession and delusions of perfection, might be pure of heart.

Hmm... You guys forgot about Arale. She can ride it.

[Lord Beerus]

Pretty certain Korin could ride the Numbus, as well. I mean, he was the one who gave it to Roshi originally. I'd assume he could also ride on it, too

[Lunatic Fringe]

Android 16 could probably ride it.

[Lord Beerus]

Android 16 could probably ride it.

But he has no soul.

[RandomGuy96]

I'm pretty sure if I put my toaster on it, it wouldn't fall through.
