Re: Official "DB Super 2018 Movie" Discussion Thread
That'd be cool, but with the current lore (and I know the show has never been consistent with lore), god energy is calmer than mortal energy. And Super Saiyan energy is very wild. That's why Goku was able to combine Kaioken with Blue but not standard Super Saiyan. Going by the same logic, it might be easier to combine Ultra Instinct with Super Saiyan Blue.miguelnuva1 wrote:I see him combining it with regular ssj.

I wonder if Goku will beat the main villain in one shot with UI?

I don't want him to use it. I want this movie to feel more classic DBZ, and have it only use SS forms to demonstrate their own innate power. SSB at most.Hellspawn28 wrote:I wonder if Goku will beat the main villain in one shot with UI?

Re: Official "DB Super 2018 Movie" Discussion Thread
Y'know I been thinking I want to go into this movie pretty blind to be honest if the plan of a near global release happens. Avengers is out next month and I haven't seen a single drop of footage, last year I did that for most films I watched.
I feel like the teaser is enough quench me to be honest. We have Toriyama's comments, we know Toei are doing their best to make this visually fantastic, we know there is new art style we know various big names already confirmed, we have glimpses of a villain. I mean what more do we need to tick us over until December?

Re: Official "DB Super 2018 Movie" Discussion Thread
I doubt the main villain will be stronger than Jiren and I'm okay with that. Not everyone in the series needs to use ABC logic, I like how Super did move away from that for the most part.

Is he? I dunno about that. He had that extra time in the Hyperbolic Time chamber and came out strong enough to beat back Rosé Black. Seemed like he was technically stronger than Goku at that point. Goku just had the advantage of having Kaioken. Then Vegeta got that Evolution form, which seemed to be fighting on equal ground with Super Saiyan Blue Kaioken Goku. Goku still has Ultra Instinct, but that seems like a last resort kinda technique right now. I think Vegeta is more than strong enough to keep up.Champa The Destroyer wrote:Will Vegeta even be that relevant at all considering he is MUCH weaker than Goku at this point?

Re: Official "DB Super 2018 Movie" Discussion Thread
Its why I prefer them being closer together in the manga or around the same growth pace. I had hoped with Super that the gap would finally be closed so that they can work together now, but nope. They decided to retread the same issue by forcing Goku upward anyway. If this is a movie about Saiyan roots, there is no reason Goku needs to be the center of it now.ZeroNeonix wrote:Is he?

Re: Official "DB Super 2018 Movie" Discussion Thread
I think that if they're in the same forms, Vegeta is just as strong or maybe even a little stronger (because of extra ROSAT time), but if the main villain is even close to Jiren level, Vegeta shouldn't be able to keep up with him unless he gets a new form.ZeroNeonix wrote:Is he?

Re: Official "DB Super 2018 Movie" Discussion Thread
Goku and Trunks transformed after experiencing loss. Gohan trained for a whole year to prepare for SS2 (he just perfected the form during the Cell Games). Gotenks trained in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber until Super Buu arrived, and they learned it off screen. But yes, characters have been known to transform without effort just for the sake of getting them caught up. Vegeta learning Super Saiyan was the show's first example. Then Goten and Trunks (Present timeline) learn it without even trying. The Buu Saga was the year of the Super Saiyan Bargain Bin Sale.kn83 wrote:Goku, Trunks and Goten didn't train for SSJ1, Gohan didn't train for SSJ2 and Gotenks didn't train for SSJ3.

That is a possibility, though the villain could also be a lot weaker then Jiren, as of right now, we have no idea how strong the villain will be.jeffbr92 wrote:No as the villain might be many times stronger than Jiren so Goku might need unlock a new form in order to defeat him.Hellspawn28 wrote:I wonder if Goku will beat the main villain in one shot with UI?

Yes and if the villain is a Saiyan who came out of nowhere and is way stronger than Jiren, this will be way more BS than Freeza power jump on RoF.Champa The Destroyer wrote:That is a possibility, though the villain could also be a lot weaker then Jiren, as of right now, we have no idea how strong the villain will be.
