Is the Super Saiyan God's power permanent?

[Dr. Machismo]

Please tell me it isn't lol. Goku randomly becoming this practically ominpotent being due to some random ritual is super, super lame.

[ZombieVito]

It is.

[Dr. Machismo]

It is.

Proof?

[Saiyatonian]

That doesn't mean Goku is omnipotent. If he was omnipotent, he could literally wish Beers away and be done with it.

[Dr. Machismo]

It's still lame how he randomly got stronger through some random ritual. Hopefully Goku lost the power after he got exhausted from fighting Bills.

[Chuquita]

He keeps it, but if it's any consolation, Gokû doesn't like it.

Is there proof though ...

When a Saiyan becomes Super Saiyan God, they don't become gods in a literal since.. Goku can't create planets and life forms and such, he just becomes ridiculously powerful for debatably a set amount of time. I doubt it lasts forever.

SSJGod is basically a glorified ki sharing technique thats Saiyan Specific. I don't get the hate for it, if Namekians can have their own fusion method that results in INSANE power boost then why can't Saiyans have a Ki sharing technique that temporarily makes them insanely powerful (depending on the who's using it, I doubt the original SSJGod was any near even GInyu's strength)?

BOG detailed synopsis:

They seem to be evenly matched and Beerus is pleased with how things are going, but notices that Goku seems dissatisfied. Goku says he is, a little bit. Does he not like being a god, Beerus wonders? Goku says he never knew there was a realm of power like this, but does not like the fact that he could not reach it on his own. They continue fighting, but Beerus finds what Goku said interesting. Does he not like that he became a god with his friends’ help?

[...] Goku apparently did not notice, because as he fought he absorbed that realm of power into his body. Due to this, even after returning to normal, Goku still did not power down very much. Beerus says that Goku is really something, a rare genius. Now he should be able to be perfectly happy, since this is what he wanted.

Yes, he keeps it. As Beerus said, Goku is a rare genius. The SSJ God's powers should be just temporary due the time limit, but Goku was able to reach it on his own. Besides, after the battle, Whis offers Goku the job of being the next God of Destruction...If the SSJ God's power was not permanent, why would he do that? Goku says if Beers tries to destroy the earth, then they will just have to fight again... How he could fight again with Beerus if the SSJ God's power was not permanent? Goku didn't like the way he became a god, so it's clear he would only fight again with Beers if he could use his own powers.

Maybe Goku could just do another ritual?

[TheMightyOzaru]

It's unknown whether he kept it or not. The movie tried to keep it vague by letting Goku turn into a SSJ God again at the end of the film. It, however, should be noted that Goku did initiate the transformation on his own with no ritual. He might generally have SSJ God now instead of having SSJ with God powers.

[Rocketman]

No, because nobody talks like it is years later when Uub shows up.

Goku simply doesn't like it . I doubt he'd do another ritual.

[TheMightyOzaru]

Considering Goku was fighting Uub in base, I don't think there any issues present at the end of the manga that would prevent Goku from keeping Ssj God. Especially if he can still go Ssj, Ssj2, and Ssj3.

[Dr. Machismo]

You were saying that Bills wouldn't ask Goku to be the next God of Destruction and Goku couldn't fight against Bills again if the power wasn't permanent. Goku could still do another ritual, so Whis' offer still makes sense and Goku could still fight Bills.

[DBZGTKOSDH]

He most likely doesn't keep it, since Goku seems to be about as strong as he was in Boo arc during the 28th TB (he wanted to fight with Oob, who was as strong as Pure Boo, with 100% stamina, and he even considered the possibility of losing, though it turned out that Oob had to train), and he can go Super Saiyan 2 & Super Saiyan 3 normally in GT. Plus, Vegeta said in BoG that he will be the Super Saiyan God next time, implying that Goku lost the power. He could have kept it though probably if he hadn't transformed into a Super Saiyan God for a 2nd time.

But we don't how strong Uub exactly was in that tournament

I agree with this. If Goku kept the power of SSJ God then Oob would be no challenge. We saw him fight in base with that power as well. Vegeta even confirms him taking Oob had nothing to do with protecting earth. So Oob had to pose some kind of challenge for Goku.

[DBZGTKOSDH]

Goku believed that Oob would be strong enough to defeat him (not in base, since Goku included Mr. Boo), and wanted to fight him when they are both at 100% stamina. He was saying all the time that he was a very strong guy that had suppressed his great power. After their fight, Goku says that Oob is as strong as he was expecting him to be, but he couldn't control his power (he could only use it through his rage), and didn't even know how to fight or use ki (he couldn't even fly). Which is why Goku wanted to train him.

To put it simple, when Oob unleashed his full power (after the Kiai), his power was implied to be around Pure Boo's level (strong enough to maybe even defeat SS3 Goku, if he had received training). When he was fighting evenly with Goku though (before the Kiai), he was probably at a much lower level (though he seemed slightly stronger than base Goku). So yes, we do know how strong Oob is.

Are you asking if there's an officially correct answer? Because there isn't one.

As for opinions, I don't think it is.
