Re: Super Saiyan 4 Pants
Ok. Well if this is the case, I figure God mode gives Goku god-like powers, and if SS4 is stronger than that he's bound to still have that power. I mean at the end of the day (gt), Goku is god.Kamiccolo9 wrote:Nope.

Re: Super Saiyan 4 Pants
I.....can't quite tell if you're disagreeing with me or not, but I agree with what you're saying. Super Saiyan transformations in the past never granted clothes. They also never granted red fur or eye liner, but we're not discrediting those new attributes just because they're unique to SSj4.hleV wrote:Saiyan transformations are under ability. Perhaps Dende restoring everyone's power, which is also an ability, may be considered somewhat magical, but we're talking about Saiyan transformations. They transform the body and grant more power, never generate clothes. Until SS4, that is. That's why it's so weird.
TBH, I don't really care much about SS4, my point was to explain that body transformation and clothes generation are completely different things, and that Fusion clothes generation is completely fine in-universally.
For SS4, I highly doubt the makers were going by in-universe logic when deciding to make it produce clothes. I'm not gonna say it cannot be explained logically, though.
But I'm not saying the granting of clothes is magical. I'm just saying that even if it was, then SSj4 granting that ability isn't as far-fetched as people like to make it seem. People only seem to really protest it because it's part of GT.

Re: Super Saiyan 4 Pants
Can we all just agree the pants were a plot device used by Toei so they didnt have to show SSJ4 Goku naked?

The SS4 transformation temporarily makes Goku stronger than GT Kami, letting him no sell the effects of the Black Star Dragon Balls.

Re: Super Saiyan 4 Pants

Before the dust settled Goku realized he was naked and IT'ed home to get some pants then IT'ed back to the rock to stand in a cool pose for when the dust settled.Kamiccolo9 wrote:Nope.

So, more important question....why does Vegeta get new gloves that are different from his regular ones.

Re: Super Saiyan 4 Pants
Ummm, his fashion sense changes with each form? I really wouldn't look into this too much. In universe discussion or not, the answer simply comes down to lazy, inconsistent writing and plot devices.

Re: Super Saiyan 4 Pants
Kami in GT. He's 10,000 times stronger than Buuhan somehow, that's why his Dragon Balls were able to affect Goku.

Re: Super Saiyan 4 Pants
Where in the world did you get that from? Isnt the new Kami of Earth Dende, seeing as he replaced Kami after merging with Piccolo pack in the Cell saga?
