I've just seen SSJG for Zenkai Battle Royale from what I can tell.

About Vegetto (or any kind of fusion between Goku and Vegeta), it will likely never happen in the future: when the final (kid) Boo is about to come around, Goku states that they don't like to fuse, that it's definately not the kind of strategy that's meant for them. They want to fight on their own, especially when the opponent's not fused either, and Goku's sorry but if it means the universe to be doomed because they won't fuse, well they still won't fuse to save the day.
Vegeta will compliment Goku for saying this and he says that's how Saiyans are.
Goku and him will never fuse again in any way, no matter how desperate the situation gets for the whole universe, including their loved ones. And they gave a proof of it at that very moment.
However (since there's always a possible counter-argument), Goku does mention later on that it was possibly a mistake passing on the fusion. Though it was possibly in the panic of the moment, and it is likely (and shown in this movie) that should a dangerous situation like this come up again, fusion is still out of the question for them and not even considered. They'll leave that to the more open-minded kids who enjoy being together all the time and fusing whenever they can, even in daily life situations such as taking a bath (filler though).

About why didn't the other finish Birus off, there are two things that I can think off: first, ran out of energy to shoot the planet doesn't mean ran out of martial arts skills to kick everyone's butt single-handedly.
Second, from how Kei told us about it, I think that just like Marco Polo said, Vis probably knocks out Birus right after his failed attempt of destroyed Earth (which might be just an excuse to spare the planet while pretending he would have blown it up willingly, we can't be sure).

I think Vegeta would fuse with Goku, especially considering he threw his pride away to act like a fool so Birusu wouldn't destroy the earth. He cares about everyone, Bulma and Trunks in particular much more than himself now.

They probably didn't step in to finish off Beers due to the fact that they were just told of Uisu's superiority to them all and the fact that he's standing right next to Beers and is his master...

I actually think Birusu might have changed his mind, but I'll have to wait until I see the movie to have a real idea on it.

Apparently, after the fight Beers and Whis stick around for the rest of Bulma's party, then after that they return home, and it's only then that Whis knocks Beers out for 3 years.

As for why the others don't attack Beers at the end, well, there wouldn't really be too much of a point once it's clear he won't destroy the Earth. A big part of the movie is that unlike some of the other DB villains, Beers isn't just some ultimate evil who must be stopped at all costs. He's just a guy with an unpleasant but necessarily job who happens to have an unfortunately short temper.

And that's why Birusu is so awesome 8) .

I can imagine this, and after he's eaten his fill, and rested, he says "And now to destroy the earth!!" And that's when Uisu knocks him out and continues eating with the rest! :lol:

I guess this explains why the battle with Avo and Cado eventually "escaped everyone's memory" or whatever.

"Hey, you remember that time this wacky pair crashed our big outdoor party and we had to fight them off, but then they stayed and partied with everyone afterwards?"
"What, you mean Beers and Whis? How could I forget?"
"No, no, no, before that. The other two."
"...Yeah, you lost me."



Also, I'm really curious about the "mechanics," shall we say, of Super Saiyan God, mainly what happens when the form itself was lost. Kei said something about Goku "remembering the feeling" of it and still having access to its power.

Now, is this talking about in the long run, meaning he can do this again, with or without the other 5 Saiyans' help, whenever he wants or needs to? Or is it just referring to at that time in the movie, the power didn't immediately go away even after he lost the state itself, and was still able to use it along with Super Saiyan until he burned it all up from fighting Beers?

And whichever one it is, does this mean he can access it again in the future or not? It would be kind of cool if someone could only wield the power of Super Saiyan God once in their life, to keep the whole thing from becoming cheap.

I'm not really demanding answers here, as much as I am just speculating out loud.

It sounds like Goku "remembering the feeling" of SSJG is treated along the lines of learning how to ride a bike or tying your shoes. It's second nature and you just don't forget. In a way, that's more God-like than I was giving it credit for. It's Gohan's Ultimate power-up with the ability to become a Super Saiyan.

As a small aside, does anyone have a quick link to that picture of battle-damaged Goku on the ground with everyone else crowded around him? I kind of need visual reference material for... a thing.

Thanks. Looks like the extent and placement of Goku's battle-damage is different from the shot of him and Beers in space, so I guess I don't have to worry too much about the specifics.

What's up with Piccolo's arm in that shot? It looks kinda weird.
