Reason for Goku Black's Power Up after fighting Goku the first time
I wonder what the precise reason for Black being more powerful than Goku and Vegeta was. I think it might have been due to the fact he had been fighting a lot more than Goku and Vegeta had after he first fought Goku. The manga suggested that the Saiyan Power was the reason.

Zenkai is a fandom name. Not an official one.

Well, Zenkai IS Saiyan Power, just the name the fandom adopted. Black got stronger as he fought. In the manga it works as intendeed, but it's broken in the anime since he doesn't need to get to death's door to come back stronger.
Re: Reason for Goku Black's Power Up after fighting Goku the first time
Yes that's true that Zenkai is the name that the fandom have adopted but I disagree with you on the Saiyan Power working as it should in the manga.

Re: Reason for Goku Black's Power Up after fighting Goku the first time
Yes but Zenkai isn't the official name and official name is what I'm focusing on right now.

Not a precise one as far as I know.

Re: Reason for Goku Black's Power Up after fighting Goku the first time
The idea I personally use to try and rationalise it is that the soul, Zamasu's, was already a deity by nature with exceptional potential and strength for his capacity. If you combine that with the anatomy of someone like Goku, it seems reasonable to conclude that the result would be extraordinary.

Hmm interesting personal theory.

Re: Reason for Goku Black's Power Up after fighting Goku the first time
Because Zamasu was already a prodigy and fighting genius, so he managed to synchronize perfectly with Goku's powerful body. He was also able to grow stronger through pain. When he first fought Goku he was only fighting Super Saiyan 2 Goku, but after getting kicked and punched several times he unlocked a new height of power and could damage a Super Saiyan Blue in just his base form. Then when he got Rosé he basically became stronger than everyone else because his mortal body fully embraced his divine soul, which granted him an even more amazing power.

Isn't that a Saiyan's trait to increase their power through combat?

Re: Reason for Goku Black's Power Up after fighting Goku the first time
Yes. Vegeta even remarks how in the Tournament of Power every Saiyan (even those of Universe 6) managed to break their limits. Black was a unique case because Zamasu was also a prodigy and fighting genius, so he could truly unleash the full potential of that body.DragonBallFoodie wrote: ↑Sun Dec 08, 2019 11:02 am Isn't that a Saiyan's trait to increase their power through combat?

I find it hard to believe that Goku's mortal body 'fully' embraced Zamasu's divine sould.SupremeKai25 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 08, 2019 6:15 am Because Zamasu was already a prodigy and fighting genius, so he managed to synchronize perfectly with Goku's powerful body.

Re: Reason for Goku Black's Power Up after fighting Goku the first time
that explicitly stated having happened in the manga.
Each time Black got hurt and then recovered, his Saiyan body strengthened(procedure generally known in the fandom as "Zenkai") by getting more accustomed to Zamasu's soul
in the anime, IMHO the reverse happened: Zamasu's soul\mind found the "key" to fully synch with Goku's body by fighting him as Black.
This resulted into, fundamentally, "Saiyan beyond God" Black who then stacked Super Saiyan on it becoming Rosé.

I know its stated that way doesn't mean it makes sense.ankokudaishogun wrote: ↑Sun Dec 08, 2019 2:06 pmthat explicitly stated having happened in the manga.

Re: Reason for Goku Black's Power Up after fighting Goku the first time
I don't think the process itself is meant to be different between anime and managa, because ultimately it's about the divine soul of Zamasu and the mortal body of Goku becoming one thanks to the use of Zenkai. This also aligns with Sean Schemmel's interpretation of the Rosé form; he believes that Super Saiyan Rosé is Zamasu's own divine power channeling more and more through Goku's body, which is also why Black's voice in his Rosé form changes to closely match Zamasu's.ankokudaishogun wrote: ↑Sun Dec 08, 2019 2:06 pmthat explicitly stated having happened in the manga.

Re: Reason for Goku Black's Power Up after fighting Goku the first time
The implication is that Goku's body is what makes him the strongest warrior in the universe. Well, Goku was always lucky.
