Oh god you're back :problem: . I don't why you want Universe destroying powers so badly in DBZ when destroying Planets is already good enough. I think the galaxy destroying claim came from Piccolo in the trailer which I'm going to take a grain of salt. No one in DBZ shown the power to up wipe out a galaxy completely, so I doubt Birusu can do it even with power scaling.
Just because they don't show them blowing up a galaxy doesn't mean they can't. And if you wanna go into the non-canon topic, Broly already sorta was doing this.

He didn't do it in an instant with one blow.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter.

Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Anyone besides Galactus probably can't do that. The "all in one blow" thing is very over powered.

It's not like people disagree that a character can't destroy a galaxy over time. The thing that some people think (and people here disagree) is that characters can destroy a galaxy, or even the Universe, with one blow.

Yes Broly basically was going from planet to planet blowing each of them up until reaching the last one. Which in essence, is the same thing as destroying a galaxy regardless of the method being used. The terms "Galaxy destroyer" or "Universe destroyer" really have different meanings to them.

Wrong. Super Sonic can do that and then some. Super Sonic can destroy multiverses in one blow.

I would like to see an example of this. please :D

And why would he do that? I thought Sonic was another pure hearted character like Goku; who would not even dare destroy a single planet if he wanted to.

Sure, You may have to wait a bit though, I can't copy and paste from my tablet. It's not that Sonic has done it, well that's a little lie since he kinda destroyed a universe in his scuffle with Hyper Knuckles on accident, but he has fought toe to toe with people who can pretty much erase existence itself.

Hmmm... interesting image. 2 questions; why is Goku in SSJ? And why does Birusu look mad? haha almost like Goku was taunting him or something..

Odin and Surtur from Marvel Comics have shown to destroy galaxies as well. I also remember some of the Gold Saints from Saint Seiya can do it as well. Either way, I don't think we need galaxy busters in DBZ. I think destroying the Earth in seconds is a pretty great feat. I think some fans want crazy over the top feats because of those stupid DBZ vs. comic book threads on the web :roll: .

Your right Hellspawn, it's stupid to argue about who's stronger between different fictions, any writer can say or write, or even show that there character can destroy galaxies, and more, becuase it's fiction in the end. I like Dragonball because of the action, the characters, and art style!!

I now have no problems whatsoever to see Gohan being defeated with just one kick.
Birusu is on another class altogether, and I'm starting to have no doubts that he's even stronger than Vegetto.
First off, Super Buu with Gohan absorbed would completely toy with SSJ3 Goku too, just like Super Buu with Gotenks absorbed did. Vegito completely toyed around with Super Buu with Gohan absorbed, and wasn't even a SSJ. So i still believe Vegito is stronger or at least equal to Birusu.
Except for the fact that this is a god and proclaimed strongest (second strongest we now know) in the series seen thus far. And from I saw, Super Vegito definitely did NOT look able to finger flick Buuhan or 1hko him with a weak karate chop.
Ahhh I'm comparing Vegito and Birusu. I'm sure Super Vegito could finger flick SSJ3 Goku and knock him around. And yea that is a fact but I don't think they consider Vegito when they said that, we never even got to see the full extent of his power.

So nope. Back to the drawing board...

So that just discredits the idea of the two brands of cat food being the source, right? Is the option of 'Beers' and 'Whiskey' still on the table?
