Is Vegito ruined?

Post by SSJ Ace Son » Sat Jan 28, 2017 12:02 pm

When Vegito appeared in Dragon Ball Super, i wasnt very impressed, i feel that it was short (which it was) and didnt have much meaning. And what about goten? They really ruined these two for me. And when is gohan coming back, dont tell me that watagashi episode was his time, are you serious? I am in love with dragon ball super(and dbz) and i always will, (i even go to school and behave saiyan like, whch has gotten me in trouble) but this has upset me. :yawn: :think:

I don't get how a non-character and walking plot device has been ruined.

(and allow me to say vegito appearing isnt meaningless, it pays tribute to one of my fav characters, it was just so short) :|

Vegetto is barely a character, he's a tool that was created when Toriyama wrote himself into a corner and couldn't think of a way of defeating the super strong bad guy he built up.

He summarized what I think about vegito. He's much better with this weakness.

Gotens character has actually gotten better, we just haven't really seen him much .

Gohan will get his time to shine.

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.

It depends on how he's used.

If Goku and Vegeta continue to fight on their own and only fuse when it's life or death then yes.

As of now I don't think so cause he got great screen time (although short) and they didn't change his personality like GT did with Gogeta.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

Every Zamasu Black arc consequence ruined everything
Vegito lost all his sense of urgency, by establishing that is no more a permanent fusion, and you can rely on potaras every time you need to do it

Then, ruined Future Trunks too, he ends being basically a pussy who didn't save nothing but Mai, and let his universe and all his loves be destroyed, living Now with himself and another Mai, and burning all his struggles to beat androids and cell

I still have nightmares and remorse by thinking to that epilogue, one of the worst, if not THE worst ever, and all is worsen by thinking we'll not have ft returning anymore to shine again

Agreed with this. I loved that he was still his cocky self. Still, I also liked that Zamasu legitimately gave him a challenge.

I don't know, I thought the ending consequence was great. I loved that it was sort of a pyrrhic victory.

Couldn't have said it any better. I don't get why so many people still cry about that "retcon"

About Goten and Trunks, it feels strange going from Buu arc where they are major characters, to DBS where they are just background ones.
Even though that's in line with the end of Z, I feel like they could have done more with them. Let's see what excuse they'll use to not have them take part to the next tournament.

Same. I'm a big Goten fan and while I like how they're moving towards his EOZ self, but I just wish they'd show him more

I'm gonna quote what I said in another thread which was the Unpopular Opinions one:
Freeza9000 wrote:I honestly don't think that Vegetto was as useless and a "complete waste" as many people claim him to be in the previous Zamasu arc. I mean, Merged Zamasu was pretty nearby Goku and co's shelter ready to get vengeance. If not for Vegeta and Goku fusing to form Vegetto, Zamasu would've killed everyone in that shelter, including Gowasu, Kaioshin of U7, Trunks, Goku, and Vegeta. Although I will agree with one thing, the ending and climax of this arc was rushed and I do agree that Vegetto's fight with Zamasu could've lasted a bit longer than it did.

Very little screen time, no effort in the fight.. Super ruined it.

Hey!! :lol:

That would imply Gotenks is also a walking plot device.

He is in the sense that yet another power up, is now ruined as a generic who gives a shit power up...as well as contextually ruining a great moment in the Boo arc. It's now just a better fusion dance.....like how Super Saiyan 2, 3, etc. was a more powerful Super Saiyan form(s)...woo.......and exploitable to all hell...
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!
