I wasn't, not really. It makes sense for them to survive. Unlike the anime, the Jrs didn't explode when Gohan "killed" them, so they should be able to eventually regenerate.

(For Future References) in the event that Beerus & Goku have a rematch and Goku Defeats Beerus (Kills Him) who in universe 7 who is as strong as Goku & Vegeta would be a good fit as their next God Of Destruction ? Freeza or Broly ?

Freeza can breathe in the vacuum of space he's manage to decrease Sidra's Hakai Ball (Anime Filler) he trained to reach his golden form and surpassed SS3 Goku, Mystic (Potential Unelashed), Super Saiyan God in just a short amount of time A feat that was never seen before in Dragon Ball (I don't think)

Broly who grows ever more powerful the longer he fights and was regarded by Goku as possibly being stronger than Beerus which means he's in line with rare mortals who are above their Gods of destruction in battle power (and Destructive Power)

who do you think the GoD role will end up falling to ?

Powerwise, Broly hands down, but maybe that isn't an issue, Toppo got a huge boost just from creating/summoning hakai energy, and I believe he could get even stronger once he embraces it or actually takes over the role.

But Freeza really has the perfect mindset for a Hakaishin, Broly is nice and all but is only a threat when he loses control, Freeza is as cold as you'd want a hakaishin to be, like U9's kaioshin said.

That's anime canon, and doesn't even make sense in that context. This is a thread about the manga.

Because SSG and SSB use god ki. If they got their god ki drained then they just can't sustain their god forms. It doesn't suggest that SS3 takes less ki to maintain.
Nothing seems to imply that SSG and SS3 use separate energy reserves in the body. When Goku goes SSG he isn't using a separate energy reserve, his ki itself becomes godly. Goku was running out of stamina and power, went from SSG to SS3.

Seems like SS3's stamina issue just isn't a problem for Goku anymore, considering how he's used it on 17 and Toppo so far, and SSG/SSB take more to use.

Based on the most recent two page chapter talking about cranberry, I’m thinking that the end of the arc will have them wishing back everyone killed by Moro and his men (similar to that of the wish made in the Freeza saga) and Cranberry won’t be brought back because you can’t bring people back more than once.

Seems like the logical conclusion.

Freeza, absolutely. He's cold, ruthless and actually good at micromanaging.

Except he's evil. Like, hella evil. The most evil motherfucker alive, in fact. He would make a horrible God of Destruction.

Broly is good, but he would never accept the job. And really, the boy would be worse than Sidra. He hates violence, after all, and his temper problem would make him a horrible liability.

Doesn’t really matter since there is nothing to suggest that Moro is draining one type of energy at a time, instead of all of it at once.

The last chapter has made it pretty clear that SSG consumes more energy than SS3, and that they are part of the same class of transformation boosts. In all instances of DBS, we've seen the ramp-up of Saiyan transformations, such as when he fought Toppo, or only using as much as he needs, like with FTrunks and Ranger 17.

Because if his god ki and regular Saiyan ki reserves were separate, based on the previously assumed logic he should've gone straight to base after running out of god ki. Instead, he reverted to SS3, which implies that either god ki simply requires a huge amount of regular ki to generate/maintain... or SSG runs on Goku's regular ki. I think we know which is more likely at this point.

SSG transforms Goku's energy into godly energy. It's the same energy reserve but altered. It turns back when when he powers down.

Is it possible that the SSG jump down to SSJ3 was just Toyotaro's way of showing that Goku has SSJ3 and Vegeta does not?

Or maybe due to Moro's energy drain being more of a magical ability rather than strictly energy absorption, Goku is warped from Saiyan form down to the next form. So in other words, Moro's abilities are not exactly playing by the rules when it comes to regular ki or god ki.

Not sure if that made sense. It would be nice if in a future chapter or interview this kinda thing would be explained better by the creators.

Or Toyo just thought it would look cool. Even Tori pulled shit like that for those reasons. Maybe it has meaning, but I wouldn't read too much into it just yet.

This scene does not necessarily seem to follow the logic of the highest-spending and least-spending transformations.

SSG Vegeta had its energy drained and returned directly to the base form. But soon after he still had the energy to turn into SSJ.

Like I said, it doesn't look like SSG uses more energy than SSJ3. Goku used unmastered SSB and Mafuba at the same time and still had enough power to use God. Even the current MSSB doesn't seem to be a problem for both of them anymore.

The reason Vegeta dropped to base was because he wasn't paying attention. Goku dropped from God to SSJ3 because he was still trying to stay transformed while going after Saganbo.

Vegeta made it pretty clear that his guard was dropped, and that's why his transformation failed him. Besides, it's irrelevant what form they transformed afterwards, because the unintentional transformation drop-down always follows a logical order of highest to least-spending transformations.

If Goku went down from SSG to SS, and then transformed into SS3 successfully, then yes we couldn't assume SS3 < SSG in terms of consumption... but Goku went from SSG to SS3, it makes literally zero sense to go from SSG to SS3 if SS3 consumed more energy and goes against Moro's magic logic.

We've even seen this in the anime. Goku goes SS3 against Caulifla and Kale and then drops down because he couldn't maintain the stamina. He didn't go SSG even tho it supposedly consumes less stamina. He continues to fight a little bit more, recovering stamina, and finally goes SSG. Now one can argue that he could maintain SSG longer because it consumes less stamina as he was fighting. On the other hand, one could also argue that he went SS3 prematurely and ran out because he wasn't at a state where he could hold it sufficiently, whereas he was "rested" enough for SSG. And we know SS3 wouldn't have cut it for Kale/Caulifla cause as we saw, SS2 Kale actually gave him a run for his money as a SSG.

And I think this Moro draining business basically gives us a very clear-cut answer.
