It has always been consistently hinted that is the case, especially as everyone always looks to him for guidance and the way he conducts his fights.
I meant in battle. And what does "conducts his fights" even mean?
Basically how he fights. Piccolo does not go straight in full force where as Vegeta does. That is usually how them two fight.

I have always seen Goku as only powerful with a little natural instinct.

If Goku had the same power level as Piccolo when he faced Frost would he been able to charge his attack and block with 1 hand. I don't think he could.
Goku isn't just powerful. He and piccolo are the most skilled fighters of all.
I fact Goku did sacrificed himself against Raditz, using Piccolo's tecnique. The same tatic Piccolo used against Frost. But Goku can't enlarge his arms like Piccolo, so it would be impossible to make the same move against Frost because of his nature limitation, not his skills.
I am not talking about enlarging his arms just the little section where Piccolo is blocking Frost's punches while charging his move at the same time. That takes skill.

I'm still disappointed that Goku and Vegeta arent using their Whis Gi/armor or a new one, to top that Gohan's even wearing a similar Gi to Goku, would have been awesome if he wore his saiyaman outfit without the head piece.

My guess is he's the strongest god. Assuming they're standing in order with Uni 7 front left, that would make him Uni 9's god.
So if they sit in the order that would make them match up with their twin universes and explain why Beerus and Champa are closest to the camera:
12
1
11
2
10
3
9
4
8
5
7(Beerus)
6(Champa)
Then the big guy on the right is from Universe 4.
I wonder, if he'll turn out to be the weakest, since he's the biggest.

I know you're joking but If that turned out to be true a lot of people would flip (in more ways than one) both good and bad reactions will come out :lol:

That's the most obvious outcome, the big one gotta be the strongest after all

Well the basic design is there, bracelets, topless and necklace, he even had a head ornament just like Champa and Beerus have that bling on their ears and he is a lover of destruction, change his attitre slightly and we have our new overlord, God of Destruction Broly :lol:

Dope, I really like the sound of it can't wait for it to debut! Current OP is great and all but after 70+ eps I think it's time for a new one.

Talking to NamekianSaiyan memeber.

Goku has literally bent his Kamehameha several times to attack swift enemies. Or the the time he used ball like Kamehamehas to attack Freeza from under water. He took advantage of Freeza's inability to sense Ki. He teleoported in front of Cell while maintaining a Kamehameha and he didn't lose control of the Spirit Bomb when Freeza punched him into water.
Son Goku is a brilliant fighter and superior to everyone who isn't Beerus, and Whis when it comes to combat.

So... anyone want to guess at the likelihood of even just one Goddess of Destruction?

Yeah that wouldn't surprise me. Uni 9 with the pointy hat is incredibly tiny and probably the strongest one there. His counterpart is huge but probably weaker than the rest of them. I can definitely see that being the case.

Vados is a female Angel so I'd say there is a pretty good chance we'd get at least one female GoD. If we do get one or several I'm guessing one of them will be both Beerus and Champa's crush and shenanigans will ensue from that end!

Oh, man, now I want one more than I already did! :lol: :clap: Imagine Beerus and Champa, as feared as they are by their respective Universes, acting like children even more than they did in the latest episode. I'd love to see the other Gods of Destruction react to them. :D

Don't know if this is old news, but it wasn't posted here, at least. Viz will be releasing a Dragon Ball Super/Boruto manga for Free Comic Book Day 2017. It may be a chapter we can already read on their website, but I thought I'd mention it.

Dai Kaioshin is not a filler right? I mean, either that or Toriyama retconned his own god hierarchy, not a problem to me at least.

Such a hot bastard (no homo, though)

But seriously, characters outfits in this new arc are pretty disappoting, taking Android 17, Piccolo, Tien, Roshi, all the rest could have new clothes or better choices.

As a matter of fact Broly was called a God (Of Destruction?) before it was cool :D

It would be funny if one of the GoD was a rabbit since I remember some people did mistaken Beerus for a rabbit in 2012 when BOG was announced.

It'll be interesting to see if U10's destroyer asks Beerus why he was in his universe and why he killed Zamasu.
Anime Kitten wrote:So... anyone want to guess at the likelihood of even just one Goddess of Destruction?
I think there'll be more than one, maybe 3.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.
