I thought it was fairly obvious that 6 is Super Saiyan God Goku, not SSJG absorbed Goku, or Super base Goku. Well, I'm glad you agree anyway. :P

The problem with that is the movie and TV show have absorbed SSG Goku as strong as his God form. Especially the movie where he can take Beerus on in his base form, essentially making it about the same power as God.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

That scale applies to the movies followed by Gods Tournament Arc and Future Trunks arc (all written by Toriyama), what Toei adds in its retellings and its "filler" arc (ie Super Human Water stuff) is totally another case.

Isn't that a bit of an assumption on your part that Toriyama is following the same power scale from a three years old movie when Toriyama never really cared about power scaling before? Especially if he's just basically given cliffnotes and telling Toei and others to do what they want to fill space. On top of that is Super Saiyan God is already a 6, what is Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan, especially after Goku and Vegeta trained for three years. That line about them getting close to their limit was only in the anime, not in the manga if I recall correctly. And to add to that, Toriyama said he has no plans of letting Goku or Vegeta surpassed Beerus anytime soon.

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

While we see better quality in pirate channels, It's funny how is poor in their official channel.
This is only because it's an embedded video from the official site intended to be viewed at 320 x 180 resolution. It looks good that way.

It's almost July. Should we get a new movie announcement soon? If we do get a Champa saga movie, I could see the movie being more closer to the manga.

Hopefully they'll use it on something else. Movie 16: Universal Tournament doesn't really catch my interest after seeing it in Super. Pretty much solely interested in the English voices. :P

Why would they make a movie of the Champs Saga?

I guess they could do a filler type of movie similar how DBZ Movies 1-13 where. They could do a movie that won't interfere with the TV show.

If they were to make a movie, I'd want it to be a Goku Black movie to make canon even more confusing. :twisted:

If we're to get a special then it needs to be about Trunks dealing with the Buu situation.

I wouldn't mind one for other characters afterwords.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

I could see Cabba and Hit getting OVA's specials. I think Hit could carry his own special as a anti hero.

I'd be up for a hit special. We've already seen Trunk's Boo situation enough. I want hit's back story so bad. Cabba and Salada should be addressed in the show.

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

What about Frost? I'd like to see his motives for being unnecessarily evil.

Episode 49 already showed a good portion of the fight Trunks had with Dabra and Bobbidi. Given that Boo wasn't even released in his timeline, I don't see what else really needs to be explicitly shown. Only thing I can think of would be Kaioshin actually giving Trunks the instructions...but that could possibly be something they are saving for later if it turns out the Kaioshin who helped wasn't the Kaioshin we know, but Zamasu (for whatever reason).

I want a Future Trunks special. From the aftermath of Cell to Babidi and Dabura. It could end with Goku Black's introduction.

He said the battle was hard. They could show the actual fight-- a good 10/15 minutes.

Between the original Trunks special and this buttpull arc where he appears again out of nowhere, the future Trunks has enough added screentime. he doesn't need a movie.

Although to be fair, he's the new hotness and I could see Toei doing something like this to ride the wave.

Seeing a Hit special perhaps. Definitely a NO to Cabba. His world is really the more interesting prospect. Cabba himself is dull and boring.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!
