super saiyan rage.

They named it that, but never explained it beyond the name. Every other SS transformation in the show had an explanation. Even Black's SS Rose form got more of an explanation than Trunk's powers.

I like your theory that they are giving everyone bs powerups so that when Goku gets some SSB KKx100 or SSB3 in the tournament we aren't surprised

I'm kinda hoping it's the ki control theory, personally. They've tried to reintroduce tactics as overcoming power with Krillin, Gohan, and others.


So for Goku's next powerboost, instead of him simply getting another challenge/anger driven transformation, they show him actually progress as a fighter via learning to fully control his ki.

Power scaling is such bullshite in the show.

They should just let it be:

Whis
Beerus

Goku/Vegeta


Mystic Gohan

Gotenks
Frieza/Buu
Piccolo
Androids/Goten/Trunks

LARGE GAP

Tien/Krillin

LARGE GAP

Yamcha

Roshi/Chiaotzu

Videl

Mr. Satan

Power scaling has always been awful in DBZ. Instead of trying to mske sense of it, it's best to just look past it.

In episode 95, we got got to see that ruthless killer in Frieza. He was badass. The method he used to sustain his Golden form was pretty dumb, but when Frieza is strong, it makes for good TV.

In the NEP you can see Goku get amazed by Jirens energy

There's a fighter from Yardrat in the tournament.

he seems totally OK with having endangered a dozen universes in his bid to satiate his blood lust

He didn't endanger them. If anything, his actions means 1 will get saved.

Zeno was going to destroy 8 universes as their average level* was too low. 4 Universes are exempt from both the tournament, and that destruction. The tournament means 1 universe will be able to survive afterwards.

*Of note, power level isn't what Zeno is going by. If I remember right, its more like some sort of morality level.

So I just started Super last week, and I'm on episode 84

The episodes average 24 minutes, 21 after you take out the OP and EP. That's a frickton of DBS in a week. Not that I haven't done the same. I finished the 149 episodes of Hunter X Hunter in a week.

He looked shook, then he looked excited as Frick at the end. Can't wait for next Saturday!

In the Namek Saga 5 minutes took like 15 episodes. They will drag this out like 10 episodes at the least imo.

Also I can't wait to see Caulifla get wrecked in the ToP. She can't sense ki and doesn't understand how strong u7 and u11 are
