Chozenshuu 3 and/or 4 about Super Saiyan God?

Post by DBZGTKOSDH » Mon Oct 21, 2013 5:57 pm

Does it reveal if Goku absorbed or just nullified Beers' attack, or anything about this? And also, do they say anything new about Super Saiyan God, like how Goku absorbed its power?
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

There's really nothing new. Chouzenshuu 3 doesn't even really cover the end of the movie.
Kanzenshuu: Is that place still around?

Devil's Corpse had a theory on it. Goku can absorb and nullify attacks at the cost of his own energy while in SSJG. Think of it like Skyrim. When you block with your shield, you negate damage but lose some of your stamina bar.

I'm pretty much with this particular concept. I really don't see any other way for Goku to have nullified Beers' attack without using some of his own Godly energy.

And we know he didn't absorb Bills attack and convert it to energy like he did with the Spirit Bomb in Movie 7. After he absorbs Bill's attack he passes out about two minutes later, not overflowing with energy so we know he didn't keep it.

So to sum up, SSJG can absorb/nullify attacks at the cost of its own energy. Which, to me at least, seems majorly counter productive.
