Even so, assuming they'd only be able to master SS, whether or not they'd be able to defeat Dabura depends on how strong you consider him, SS or SS2-level.

If Piccolo trained for those 7 years THEN fused with Kami, he'd be stronger than our Piccolo, I reckon. I think the three would be able to deal with Dabura. Then, again, the SSG-ritual would take care of the power gap.
I forget, did Babidi coming to Earth have anything to do with the Cell Games or sensing strong powers on the planet? If it did, its possible he might come later or never. It's also possible Babidi appearing sooner in the main timeline was a byproduct of the time travel butterfly effect, in FTs version of history, he didn't come until Trunks was well into his 20 somethings as opposed to coming when Trunks was a kid.
Hadn't thought of that, it's possible that Babidi could only come later when Trunks and Goten are grown up. At which point, he'd be fodder.

From my recollection, a particular motive is never specified. Dabra claimed Earth wasn't good enough for energy when he last sent his minion to check and Kaioshin decided to act when Bobbidi moved Boo's ball from its previous location. For whatever reason, they decided to trust Yamu and Spopovitch to gain sufficient energy from the/a 25th Tenkaichi Budoukai participant(s). Perhaps those two convinced Bobbidi that the competition would yield individuals with large amounts of energy? He did seem extremely surprised that they did so well. In any case, those conditions don't exist in Future Trunks' world but they can still happen as intended (with appropriate modification) in the unseen era.

They say a picture's worth a thousand words,so a GIF must be quite the essay. I don't know, it's probably against some rule, but who cares?

It is, actually!
Just like a single word is not an appropriate response, an image in and of itself is not an appropriate response. No matter what the subject matter, we simply ask that our members bring as much substance to the conversation as possible in as well-written a way as possible.
Did you expect this from anyone else? :wink:

But yeah, Soppa Saia People, if something is rule-breaking, it's best to simply report it.

It seems that Super Jayain has closed his YT Channel, etc.

His head hadn't been in it for quite a while, and he had already created plenty of tension between the community and himself. I personally never liked the guy, but I hate to see him go. He was very helpful in countering misinformation at the dawn of this newest era of Dragon Ball, and he deserves my regards for that much, at least.

In other forums they would consider this a low effort post, it would be comparable to how some users make a single words post here.
This wouldn't be considered the case if apart from having said picture/gif the post also had a full sentence to complement it.
Dragon Ball was always a kid series and fans should stop being in denial.

I rarely watched him. What did he do to create tension exactly? What happened?

Would Gohan have managed to get SS3 if he kept training during the seven year gap like Heroes implies he could have?
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.

He made a pretty insulting video about dub fans.

I don't think so. Future trunks and vegeta never did. He'd probably have a really strong super saiyan 2 though.

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.

Do Kaioshin and/or Hakaishin sleep? I mean, we see that Lord Beerus sleeps, but that was specifically a nap, by his standards.

I don't think they need to sleep. I think Beerus does it as a way not to become insane due to sheer boredom.

It's lonely when you're kind of, but not really, near the top.

Well, fighting other Gods of Destruction is forbidden, and I assume that fighting against Whis is boring too, since Whis just dodges everything. I get the pain :P
