Confused about universe 6

Post by Khandom101 » Mon Nov 27, 2017 9:24 pm

Why would champa chose some weakling saiyans such as Caulifla and Kale who he had no knowledge off for the potara fusion instead of choosing Hit To fuse with someone else like for example cabba, frost or even better the fake pooh dude with his ability to send any damage he takes to an alternate dimension. Wouldn't that be much better?

Could be for any reason, but most likely the fact that the Saiyans and Namekians are the only species with actual ears on that team.... :lol: and the Namekians can fuse without the earrings anyways. Leaving Kale, Caulifla, and Cabba. If Cabba were the one to fuse, the one most likely to merge with him would be Caulifla. leaving Kale out of the mix. A character who's been hyped up since even before her "Berserker" form was debuted on Ep. 110. It could also be that Champa realized that they were most likely the ones least likely to get knocked out as (it seems that) they're more powerful than Cabba. (Not the most powerful on their team, but also the ones to not be most targeted).

Hit works fine on his own. He doesn't need the fusion. Plus, there's no guarantee his fusion would be as effective since his fighting ability is so much different to anyone else.

Kale and Caulifla work because a) they're the second and third strongest on the team probably b) they have similar moves and skillsets and c) they have an established relationship.

Hit is an assassin who works alone, he would absolutely never use the potara earrings to fuse with someone, and even if he was willing to use the earrings I doubt that Cabba would be that strong of a match.

Also, I think Potara has special effects depending on the bond of the two people using it. For example, In the DBZ Viz manga, chapter 26 pg 29, when Kibito Kai mentions how powerful Vegetto is, Elder Kai comments saying that of course they're powerful because they're two of the strongest people among the dead and the living, and the fact that they live to outdo each other only helps. Meaning, since they're rivals apparently the power boost is stronger. Perhaps since Kale and Caulifla are so close that's the reason why Champa gave them the earrings?

That, and the fact that they're the strongest members of the team behind Hit. I'm sure Cabba told Champa of how powerful Kale is, let alone Caulifla, which is probably why Champa insisted Kale and Caulifla use the earrings and not Cabba.

I like the "they are the only ones with ears" explanation. That sounds the most Toriyamaesque.

That's the best arc in Super thus far. Hope you are enjoying it.

Yeah the best arc with the worst ending that is, Too many things to explore and a lot questions left unanswered. The arc feels incomplete.
