We don't even know how Vegeta obtained the SSB, if he had to go through the SSG like Goku did or not. Or maybe it's just by focusing in a tingling sensation in the ass... let's say head.
That's what I'm afraid of, it's been shrouded in so much mystery, that when it does come out and doesn't fit
the headcannon of certain viewers, they'll call it bullshit.

Guys come now can we leave Toshio be. It's obvious he can't give you answers to the questions you want so it's a pointless endeavour to ask.

Are the angels brothers and sisters/Grand Priest's children?
Did future Trunks have God ki in his transformation or was that just a flashy version of Super Saiyajin?
Is Toriyama writing the next story or will Super end?

He just said they were all difficult to answer. Well, I'm not implying something is happening in the backstage because I'd assume he either doesn't know or isn't allowed to talk about certain stuff but I found it strange he wouldn't even address the angels' bit, since we are somewhat safely guessing they are all related to the Grande Priest like Whis and Vados are.
Can't you ask him whether Toriyama's outline is thick, and if he gets to see it?

Yeah that's just how "people" are these days, too soked up in their own authoritian positions. If you can't even answer a simple basic question to which the answer is obvious to anyone familiar with the show then Kami help me.

I really dislike everything they have done using the U6 Saiyans since Cabba. I totally agree though. Goku probably realizes even if she goes Blue he can crush her at any time and it may help U7 in the end if they form a temporary truce....but Ill hate it if she actually does achieve it.

But thats common sense, some people think that if Caulifla gets Blue she will be in the same tier as 17, Toppo, Hit, etc. Come on guys :lol:

I could see a truce happening, it could serve to develop both Champa and Beerus and finally they will get along?

That's a good point actually. Blue hasn't had any indication that achieving it is a matter of power.
When Super apparently shoves Goku down our throats:

That and if there truly are drawbacks to Blue I doubt she could control it for long or very well.

Indeed, I have condos with him too but he's mentioned he can't answer detailed questions that people keep asking. I've found that if you ask a basic questions that won't give away spoilers, Toshio tends to reply with some hints of info (like when he mentioned He wrote a very exciting hit fight in the Top). We're lucky he is even responding to people at all!

I only started watching the Japanese version when Super came out before that I wasn't familiar with the names except Goku's VA. Is the Toshio you're talking about Furukawa? The VA for Piccolo?

So that "just getting to the level where you can sense God ki" has nothing to do with power?

To be honest I dont think God Ki has been explained well enough to answer.

It certainly amps the users power but is there a level of power needed to achieve it?

You don't know if it's pointless until you ask, do you? If he's willing to answer, where's the harm in trying?

He's referring to Toshio Yoshitaka, a scriptwriter.

I don't think there's a minimal threshold for God Ki acquisition. Dende's Ki likely evolved into God Ki when he was made the new kami of Earth. But even so, Caulifla acquiring SSJB seems very outlandish when she only recently acquired SSJ (and SSJ2 somehow) -- even Goten and Trunks needed to train in the RoSaT for a good while before their fused counterpart unlocked SSJ3. No impetus exists for her to gain God Ki unless Goku decided to give her some.

According to the ep 100 preview, it's pretty much confirmed that Kale will undergo her perfected slimmed and toned SS form. what with that whole thing about something strange happening to her body. It's possible she may not get knocked out of the arena since it only says Jiren defeats her and not that she gets rings out or disqualified.
Zamasu is the best DB villain besides Freeza (and this is only the case because the current Super arc elevated Freeza to be that good).

The transformation we already saw counts as something strange happening to her body.

So I saw some people talk about how it's being implied Krillins disqualification will be treated as a joke..
Is there some kind of info leaked earlier which I haven't seen which implies so?
