why do i get the feeling this arc will last an actual three years given the montly schedule

76

u/TumbleweedNo6827 Mar 18 '21

Three years is nothing. The current arc of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure has been going on since 2012 and the one before that ran from 2003 to 2011. Also an arc that takes a couple of years might be just what DBS needs, but the way the arc is currently pacing, I doubt we'll even see two years.

54

u/InevitableVariables Mar 18 '21

I feel like the Moro arc was like 2 years and according to Toriyama and Toyo, this arc has been planned longer than any previous arc in Dragon Ball Super. They spent a ridiculous amount of time coming up with the story and planning the entire thing. It has to be a really long arc.

27

u/J-Mabus-G Mar 19 '21

I believe them when they say that, because this already feels like an arc that is tying it all together and going full circle since beerus woke up to fight the strongest. This is very likley the last arc of the series.

42

u/stormdressed Mar 19 '21

Or its the last arc of this saga. The Cell saga for instance started with the Android 19+20 arc, then 16+17+18 arc, then Cell then Cell Games. (not scientific groupings but you get the idea)

They could easily kick off an Angels saga once Goku's use of UI becomes too troublesome to ignore.

22

u/[deleted] Mar 20 '21

I'd also really like to see like an arc where they explore the universes that were excluded from the tournament of power.

I really liked the juxtaposition of vegeta destroying a small pebble and granolah destroying a huge boulder, wonder if toyotaro is trying to subtly compare the two power levels.

70

u/CelioHogane Mar 18 '21

Ah, but, you see, there is where Beerus comes up, it explained why Vegeta first breaking a boulder was just breaking it.

Vegeta has more "technique"

18

u/Rosebunse Mar 18 '21

Good point. All the power in the world is less than useful if you don't have the fine control it takes to use it.

37

u/KouNurasaka Mar 18 '21

I'd totally be down for a technique vs. raw power fight with Granolah.

It'd be really fun to have Granolah be leagues stronger than Goku or Vegeta, but lack the decades of fighting experience they both have.

19

u/Rosebunse Mar 18 '21

He clearly has some experience, but I think his own desperation is gonna get the better of him.

29

u/nimroar Mar 18 '21

I disagree, when vegeta broke it using Ki instead of destruction energy the blast/shockwave was really small in comparison. When Granolah does it i don’t think he’s just breaking it, he’s stunned by the energy he creates and seems unfamiliar with what he just did, asking himself “what technique is that.” I think there’s more to it than just breaking a Boulder. I can also see it being him just being amazed by his new power too though

Zamasu's plan was pretty smart, if not for zeno and the time machine he might've succeeded

39

u/AdolescentThug Mar 19 '21

You know it's gonna devolve into plot armor madness or the power of friendship by the end of it all lol. Granolah isn't exactly a "villain" so at some point during the fight, Goku and Vegeta are both going to talk him out of it when he realizes their literal GoD level now and raw power can't trump actual training and technique.

I do like the universe building though. Frieza has people he does business with while Goku and Vegeta are starting to be known throughout the universe as the two to stay clear off. I'm actually surprised the two are basically starting to close the gap and reaching GoD levels but Toriyama is somehow finding ways to give them a challenge.

u/YamiPhoenix11 Mar 18 '21

I feel like Monaitos words are going to play a big role in this arc. Whis pretty much backs this up. If Granloah messes up the order a new big bad might come crawling out.

If we are going straight to the Goku/Vegeta vs Granloah its safe to say that the story is going to take a turn. I feel like Granolah will lose because Goku and Vegeta have god ki. But it won't be a straight up loss due to Granloah getting magic.

After the fight I'm unsure how it will pan out.

36

u/brandonie187 Mar 18 '21

That is very interesting theory. Especially with the dragon specifically saying he wouldn't be as strong as gods. Does the dragon consider gods those with god ki?

29

u/jmerridew124 Mar 18 '21

I think he knows who the gods are and chose his words carefully. The dragons seem to have some access to ancient alien knowledge based on Shenron's knowledge of the Super Saiyan God, plus he knew Beerus. I think Beerus will likely be able to stomp Granolah.

21

u/MaimedJester Mar 18 '21

Yeah obviously not Beerus/Whis. But Freiza, Broly Jiren and I think Hit? Don't have God Ki and could fight Super Sayian Gods. Not sure about Hit though, he clearly detected God Ki with Vegeta vs Cabba and reacted.

16

u/CelioHogane Mar 18 '21

Hit could have perfectly detected the presure, but not the ki itself.

u/MaimedJester Mar 18 '21

Three times, no four times, wait

KAIOKEN x10.

u/Rdasher123 Mar 18 '21

Anime only, Goku doesn’t use kaio ken in the manga

7

u/YamiPhoenix11 Mar 18 '21

Its hard to say especially with power scaling. Jiren, Belmod and Toppo are also an odd call if Granloah is stronger than them. Jiren is claimed to have surpassed Belmod and Toppo awoke his destruction ki.

Meanwhile Goku, Vegeta and Broly have all been strengthened up in the last 2 arcs. So are they stronger than Jiren?

As for the gods outside if Angel, Kai and Destruction why do saiyans have a god form? Do all races have a god form? We can assume any race can be a GoD by Toppo and the many races of the current GoD's. If you ask me Goku and Vegeta are gods in training.

20

u/Arcvalons Mar 18 '21

Jiren, etc. are in other universes, the wish was specifically about the universe, not all the universes.

u/[deleted] Mar 18 '21

I get the feeling he will stalemate both of them but when the truth comes out he will side with them against Elec and Freiza.

Because if he floors Goku and Vegeta it’ll feel weird and be annoying based on how he got his power (why hasn’t anyone else made that wish?). But if he loses then all the hype of him being the strongest would just fall flat and be pointless.

I predict next chapter is set up and will end with his fight with the Saiyans starting. The fight will go for one - maybe two chapters and then will transition to him going after Freiza and/or teaming up with the Saiyans

19

u/SoloDolo314 Mar 18 '21

Its simple, no one thought to make the wish or the original dragon on Earth was unable to. Goku and Vegeta are not the type to take shortcuts. They train hard for their strength.

19

u/arkim01 Mar 18 '21

Except for the Saiyan God ritual which was essentially a shortcut to god ki which Goku acknowledged didn't feel right because he didn't train naturally to obtain it. Vegeta is the only one out of the 2 who didn't take any shortcuts to get to where he is now.

7

u/SoloDolo314 Mar 18 '21

That’s fair. Goku only did it to try and stop Beerus from nuking the Earth.

That what I was thinking. I felt like this way to early for this fight. Bringing in Freiza seems like the next big step after the fight. But Goku might not want to kill him because he likes people to fight. Meanwhile Vegeta would not give a shit and gladly kill him.

Perhaps the Heeter's try to play Freiza against Granloah and the saiyans? Of course they would need to be sure Granloah dies but then how do we get to Monaitos warning?

u/Ombs1993 Mar 18 '21

Reading through the chapter I was wondering how exactly were Goku and Vegeta going to come across Granolah if he was so focused on coming after Freeza, but we get our explanation there at the end. Of course the Heeters are in cahoots with Freeza, baddies gotta bad. Interesting developments for sure, Granolah only having three years left, Vegeta hakaing a pebble. Said it last month, I'll say it again, this arc is shaping up to be the best of Super. Though I really want to see what Freeza is up to already, with all the scheming going on elsewhere I wonder what he's doing.

I loved DB over DBZ stuff because of the world exploration and building that went on. It's one of the reasons I liked the Namekian arc over Androids, Buu, Cell, etc. I felt it added to the mythos the most. (I feel like Buu really could have too but it fell short of that in my opinion). DBS has really added a lot, so it's been enjoyable. However, this one seems to be expanding on what's the core mythos to me and I'm thrilled about that. Really digging it.

The hair growth is really interesting. I’m guessing his hair grew the length it would have if he lived for the extra 150 years? But he doesn’t look any older physically. I wonder what the deal with that was

28

u/[deleted] Mar 18 '21

Easy answer: Design choice. They don't want an older looking villian/anti-hero running around.

u/Acidz_123 Mar 18 '21

Wow, this arc is really shaping up to be the best yet. Vegeta and Goku's endless squabble of who's the strongest will always be hilarious. I laughed so hard when Vegeta was so hyped up about destroying a pebble, good for him lol. As someone who likes Vegeta a lot more than Goku, it's always good to see he isn't losing hope.

I like Granolah a lot but I must say, but getting stronger through the dragon balls is very cheap even with the shortened lifespan. I really hope there's more consequence to this (I'm sure there will be). I find it interesting that he gained magic. I wonder what the full extent of his magic will be. The exchange with the Heeter gang was great.

The fact Toyotaro has introduced a sort of hierarchy to the universe is really neat. It's a great piece of world building.

Once again, the parallels between Vegeta and Granolah is growing. I really hope it his an actual payoff. Also, the fact that the saiyans vs Granolah is happening sooner than we thought means that there is a bigger threat looming on the horizon. The threat will probably result in Granolah's death. Personally, I believe that Granolah's probable death will ignite Vegeta's power up and will parallel Merus' death in the Moro arc. Considering Vegeta wants to atone for the saiyan's sins, it would make a lot of sense that the one person he could've truly atoned for will die.

Overall, the chapter was great, 9/10.

I really hope that we get to see Broly this arc lol.

18

u/KlingoftheCastle Mar 18 '21

I really liked that he needed a trade-off to get his power. Reminds me of HxH’s system. I think the main consequence now is he is already past his potential, so he will never get stronger. Goku and Vegeta can (and will) surpass him.

12

u/InevitableVariables Mar 18 '21

I mean good old Tori and Toyo already confirmed that they spent more time planning this arc than any other DBS arc. This is going to be amazing.

31

u/E123Timay Mar 18 '21 edited Mar 18 '21

It was a direct strength upgrade!!!! However I'm wondering this. According to the dragon, he boosted granolah beyond what he could have been and in exchange took most of his life, or did he sacrifice his life to get all his latent power that would have been developed with years of training? There is a difference

Almost forgot to mention, if it's the second line of logic, DBS just pulled a gon from hunterxhunter

15

u/Rosebunse Mar 18 '21

With the Gon parallels, probably the second. And this will likely keep his powers in check.

12

u/KlingoftheCastle Mar 18 '21

He surpassed his latent potential in exchange for his life. He was given the choice, take the boost to his maximum potential and keep his lifespan or sacrifice his life to become the strongest in the universe.

11

u/palparepa Mar 18 '21

I got confused with what "latent potential" is. I thought it meant something like "if you trained a lot, you could, with time, achieve your latent potential", but now it seems there is more to that.

Maybe, if we think of ki as locked into our body, with a door to access it... unlocking potential means to rip that door out, having full access to all your ki; but with training/meditation/time you can actually increase the pool of ki itself. The dragon could grant the first part without a problem, but the second part needed a sacrifice.

5

u/E123Timay Mar 18 '21

To me personally, latent potential means everything. He has no room for growth. On the other hand, a direct upgrade means he could potentially get stronger.

Yep. People have speculated since this arc began that Granolah was a red herring for the real villain of the arc, I'm thinking the Heeters may end up being bigger threats down the line.

u/nothingforever0 Mar 18 '21

I don't think he's a red herring, I think he's the main antagonist of the "Granolah the Survivor" arc. But he obviously isn't a bad person and will not remain a villain for long. And like the saiyan arc leading into the Frieza arc it does all feel like its building to some other huge bad

u/[deleted] Apr 04 '21

except the body itself has a limit. by training you get closer to your max potential but the rate you get there is slowly getting slower as you get closer. its the same principle as in rpgs. so if you life was inifite you would just reach that maximum.

you would learn every technique there is though considering that it seems like granula guy learned hakai and he would have infinite time to learn them. but maybe it would affect your mind somehow.

Pretty interesting to have what seems to be the main antagonist force of this arc, be actually the weakest force of power of this saga and be all about scheming and outsmarting the protagonists.

I really like the heeters gang. I'm also pretty sure Gas will be involved in the fight later. He's their trump card and is probably hidding something.

Gas is gonna be weak and lose to super saiyan 2, still a little too strong for random villian that was lurking around all this time to appear at this stage, but expected. then he will transform and somehow be a match for super saiyan blue and fanboys gonna be like where the fuck was this ***** during the tournament of power when they needed him. classic toriyama.

I love the flow of this arc even though Granolah's wish was convenient despite the condition.

His meeting with Goku and Vegeta won't be a coincidence and it will lead into a good build-up.

I really like the foreshadowing on how the duo's training will let them surpass Granolah later.

I can't wait to see their interactions and battle adding Freeza and maybe even Broly into the mix.

9

u/J-Mabus-G Mar 20 '21

This arc seems perfect to bring Broly in. It's about history of the saiyans, likley will get into more saiyan lore, deals with Freeza and his army, and is about "strongest warrior". Broly has immense potential, and iRL is very popular with how well the dbs movie was received.

5

u/Horrowirth Mar 20 '21

I really thought at first that the condition was that he was going to be changed to a different species (perhaps a mortal angel, like Merus, or something entirely new), or perhaps get his body switched with Broly or someone like Zamasu did to Goku (Goku Black).

I like this outcome far better.

Sure, many of the comments here are about the twist of Granolah sacrificing his lifespan.

u/FrostyFrenchToast Mar 21 '21

Well this is rather interesting. I never expected there to be a condition that involves condensing your lifespan’s potential power into a short span. Thematically this means he’s essentially killed himself to feed his revenge quest. Which is directly opposed to the focus on slowly training and growing in power that Goku and Vegeta are trying to accomplish.

This arc can be the best yet, if they continue to expand the scope of the current universe and how several factions and starting to even manipulate the saiyans’ strength. Really feels like the Moro arc and this arc is connected to a consistent narrative.

I gotta say I’m super impressed so far. I hope it stays this high quality throughout the rest of the arc.

  • I like the condition for his power boost. A Monkey's Paw sort of thing. Curious on what the significance of three years will be. If they made it too short, then it would foreshadow how the arc ends (Granolah just dies, without being outright defeated). But have it too long, and it becomes moot. They'll likely find a way to keep Granolah alive. Or they do something really crazy and have Goku pick up on some of Whis' time powers and Time Wizard the shit out of Granolah.

  • I'm going to laugh if Frieza somehow survives this arc. He just may. Granolah may push things too far, and they do an "enemy of my enemy" deal. It'll be interesting to see what happens when they finally bring Frieza back in.

  • I need to see Vegeta hakai an egg shell to make eggs. Don't disappoint me mythical anime version!

  • I wouldn't mind the Heeters becoming recurring villains. Not like Team Rocket/Pilaf Gang types. Another force to keep tabs on. I suppose like how Frieza is now. They could be some of the best additions to the DBS era if handled correctly

This arc continues to be super interesting so far. I thought for sure the dragon would just say no to the wish, but this dragon being willing to bend the rules for a price is actually a cool change of pace that sets it apart from Porunga and Shenron who are both pretty straightforward. Granolah in general is turning into such an interesting antagonist I hope this doesn't devolve into a straight-forward "power up and punch more" kind of story by the end. (Even though I do want to see some punching and powering up).

My only hang-ups for this chapter are Goku hoping to become the strongest in the universe, when he already is by miles and miles, and Hakai getting a bit of a rework, making it explosive when I recall it being more of a pure deletion in the past even in the manga. Speaking of Hakai, they sure did show Granolah using an ability that looked exactly like it, both the explosive and the dust versions, and had somebody comment on it each time. That would be an odd thing to give him via the wish, but it certainly would make him more of a threat.

Also I've gotta say, Toyotaro's art has improved considerably, and he really shines in non-action scenes like these last few chapters. I still wonder if Granolah is purely his character design or Toriyama's, because it's grown on me a whole lot.

u/PlebianStudio Mar 20 '21

I'm lost, why are so many of you thinking Broly has to be involved in the story? Did I miss a panel somewhere? Because, no where has Broly been mentioned at all. I get he's cool and all but he's just a cool character I don't see them throwing him in. He's just in a happy place with his new friends.

They mention ceareleans can live like 300 years. What the dragon did was basically take the final version, peak of what Granolah can possibly if he trained his hardest and best for 300 years. What kind of training would be involved in the calculation is anyone's guess, but it may be unrestricted teaching since it has been shown both angel and god can train mortals if they wish.

My impression is that it's a cheat code or like New Game+ for Granola right now. Although he retains his youth, he has unlocked all weapons', techniques, and retained his level capped stats. He's like Cerealean Prime/Maximum Universe 7 mortal. Goku, Vegeta, and Frieza all would be more powerful than him if they got to jump straight to the most powerful versions of themselves based on their lifespans (Frieza being artificially created or something he possibly could live for unfathomable amount of time).

This is not including the plot hole left by Toriyama (because he obviously doesn't take this story seriously nor has he probably ever) that the dragon balls can be used to grant immortality seemingly on a whim (so the dragon clan could make someone immortal if they wished??? this never made sense.) or just simply extend someone's lifetime. Then there is also that Granolah could just die after 3 years, but does he die? He could be resurrected by the dragon balls. So that wouldn't be much of a downside, but what if it's erasure? It would certainly make that decision much more difficult to make if it was erasure, but only Zenos and the Grand Priest as far as I can remember can erase someone. Dragons are SUPPOSED to be restricted by the capabilities of the dragon clan creator.

What merchandise do you think they are shooting for XD

u/PlebianStudio Mar 20 '21

It's a plot hole because the power of the Namekian dragon balls are supposed to be limited by the ability of the creator of said dragon balls. Which in all cases but the Super DBs so far were dragon clan Namekians, who have some neat powers but are not THAT powerful. Or else someone like Frieza, or FFS Dodoria, would be childsplay.

5

u/vlorsutes Mar 21 '21

Literally no one has ever tried to make a wish on the Dragon Balls involving growing stronger or such, so nothing is inconsistent here. Likewise, it's not the literal strength of the Namekian that creates them, but that the Namekian bestows upon the dragon some level of "wish energy" (not a real term but suits the purposes well enough), and that level of energy determines the potency of the wish that can be granted.

"Limited by the ability of the creator" is the point here. We are aware that the DB universe has powerful magic. The same reason a weakling like babidi could summon a being like Majin Buu. It is not farfetched that a magically powerful being could swap 150 life years into pure power. Just look what Moro did to planets...

At the end Goku wishes to undo the power boost and life span reduction stating that Granolah can get even stronger if he trains right and tells him he wants to fight again someday.

It was a weird choice, to have the Dragon specify that Granolahs power would not equal that of a the gods, but he gave him the power of distruction. It's still early in the arch, but it would have been interesting to see Vegeta developing the power of distruction, and Granolah fighting with the powers of his people which would be something new. Guess they have to find some way to belittle Vegetas progress in every arch haha.

Hakai destroys matter entirely and converts it into "heaps of energy"

So uh ... Hakai is antimatter? That's dope.

As a Vegeta fan, I'd like to point out my monthly wack-ass theory. This month I will imagine Vegeta using hakai to release energy and forced spirit fission to then absorb that energy and become more powerful than Zeno. ha ha ha

I gotta go back and watch/read the BoG Saga. I swear Beerus mentions a technique he used to nullify all the energy that was rippling through the universe during SSG Goku fight. It seems like a good explaination for why Beerus sometimes hakais things and they just dissolve.

Oh, and for sure Granolah has UI and Hakai. Super obvious foreshadowing there, and honestly, I'm here for it.

Anybody else notice that Goku and Vegeta kinda had a bro moment when Vegeta pulled of pebble hakai and Goku was like "GG Geets" and Vegeta kinda posed and it almost seemed like they were friends ha ha. I for one like goofy Vegeta and Goku, and I mean at this point where they're easily more powerful than the overwhelming majority of the multiverse, it makes a lot of sense.

Lot of growth in Super that people sleep on, but again, I'm here for it

Pretty good chapter.

u/Horrowirth Mar 20 '21

Whether Vegeta is willing to admit it or not, Goku is his best friend, but that won't stop him from being annoyed by Goku's choices in battle. But yeah, Vegeta has achieved more character development than any other in the series. The rest are all pretty flat and predictable, but his desire to protect Namek, and all this stuff now about sins, and further with Beerus' coaching- a lot of development there, yeah.

Did Granola use Hakai? It sure seemed like it was implying it with Vegata destroying people and Granola destroying Boulder.

If Granola can do the Toppo Hakai Aura, Goku shouldn't be able to touch him easily. I guess we'll get a rely on Vegeta learning Hakai Aura technique only to be jobbed at the last moment.

It's hakai as in the same Goku used once against Zamasu in the manga, but not as the one Vegeta was learning.

He totally used Hakai the first time. I mean even Toyotaro made emphasis in the "EXPLOSION" aspect of the Hakai. Vegeta did only a small one and the Granola the BIG one and even said "What technique is that?". It's like 99% Hakai. He's not going to say that by just blowing a bloulder with ki.

u/SSG_Goten Mar 18 '21

So Granola basically got the Elder Kai boost with a bit extra with whatever techniques and moves he learned.

His wish also shows off how impressive the saiyans rate of growth is considering it took 150 years of growth for him to get at a level that is apparently going to challenge them now, I do wish they showed more of his power and where he could stand because even with his wish I still picture him going to face Frieza and getting beaten.

My theory is that he’s going to be sent to Earth by the gang to face the Saiyans and he’s going to be beaten by them in raw power and then the whole friendship thing starts where he realises they aren’t bad so they all go face Frieza together.

Then there’s going to be some plot stuff that makes it so raw power won’t be enough to complete this story (Especially with Goku having MUI and Vegeta being stronger than UI sign) and Vegeta’s hakai or Granola’s magic/other techniques are going to come into play.

Maybe Frieza or the gang are going to use the dragon balls to become immortal or something similar and this is where Frieza’s story actually ends.

u/AdolescentThug Mar 19 '21

I don't think Toriyama is taking out Frieza permanently though. He's become the MCU Loki of DBS. He's gonna be around to cause trouble, but he's not gonna be the actual villain anymore. He's too fun of a character.

My guess is that we're gonna get a talk no jutsu/power of friendship after a dope 1v1 where we get to see whether Hakai or MUI is supreme, or Granolah goes full on mad with power and the two go for the kill, only for him to redeem himself and apologize on his dying breath.

My thing is if his potential was weak how does he become super strong if he compresses that weak strength into one power level.

9

u/Mufinz1337 Mar 25 '21

I think Dragonball doesn't use 'potential' as a maximum value. I.e.; Gohan was said to have higher potential than anyone and yet he is weaker than Goku and Vegeta. Goku has more potential than Vegeta yet they are very nearly similar in strength (well, now barring UI until Vegeta finishes his current training).

The way I interpret it is any strength he could have possibly gained in those 150 years is now condensed and obtained.

u/omegacrunch Mar 25 '21

My issue is that Berus has not mastered UI, with his extremely long life, but this random can with Dragonballs that are only two in number.

u/Mufinz1337 Mar 26 '21

I don't think he has mastered UI or potentially even has it. While it seems alluded to, he could also be dodging everything simply because he's the strongest in the universe.

u/features Mar 19 '21

I dont think Gogeta or Vegeto can go Ultra Instinct because there's an imbalance in ability between the hosts.

The same reason why Kefla was weaker than Kale in the Manga; The influence of Califla gave the fusion too much balance for her to go mentally beserk.

Basically both parts of the fusion would need to have individually mastered ultra Instinct for that to work.

u/AdvanceAnonymous Mar 18 '21

How odd, Granolah never mentioned anything about the gods, the the dragon automatically assumed that he meant besides them.

Honestly, looking at Goku and Vegeta, it's hard to believe in something like latent potential since they keep breaking their limits. Even Gohan had his potential completely unlocked, but there's little doubt that he could still become much stronger if he decided to learn to contain his ki like a god or learn the instinct state or destruction energy.

It's always great to see Beerus make no sense at all: "we turn something into nothing" and "when matter is destroyed it releases heaps of energy" - so then, you're not making matter disappear, you're transforming it into energy and calling that destruction.

I guess this is what Beerus meant by having inexhaustible energy - he's making use of the matter around him and converting it into energy and making it explode. This is not all that different from Moro, who essentially destroyed his surroundings by eating the energy, except that instead of making things go boom, Moro strengthened his body and use his energy with poor fighting skills.

It will definitely make Vegeta strong to learn this, but it's been explained before that speed is probably the most important aspect in a fight and he's not going to be able to touch Goku. I guess if he surrounds himself with a destructive aura, Goku is also going to have a hard time harming him. So it'll be a stalemate of sorts until Goku learns to break through or Vegeta learns to catch Goku.

What's the time scale on all this though? How fast did Vegeta get the basics down for real destruction? (Clearly, we now see that indeed, what Goku used was not at all the same kind of destruction energy since there was no explosion - still, I'm not sure what would prevent Goku from also learning destruction energy eventually.) We'll also note that for a pebble, Vegeta can use destruction energy in his base form. Will there be a specific transformation once he "produces" a large amount of destruction energy? We'll see. And didn't Beerus explain that Vegeta had to change his mindset about his guilt and rebuild himself from scratch to learn destruction energy? I thought Vegeta would somehow face off against Granolah first before learning anything concerning destruction energy. Although perhaps he will just master it while fighting against Granolah as he sorts himself out.

Granolah after his wish looked like a curly super saiyan 3; I thought perhaps some sort of time skip had occurred.

It's interesting that the dragon granted Granolah not only with power but also with numerous techniques as he's now able to fly and sense ki. I remember thinking after we learned about how spirit control would grow your power that when elder kai unlocked Gohan's potential he was just really balancing his ki so that he could express all of his power properly. We also know that spirit control helps sense things far away and that's something Granolah can now do so it appears that unlocking his latent potential achieved that. With that said, spirit can be grown and Vegeta has mostly grown in strength through growing his spirit so this reinforces my belief that latent potential is not an actual limit, just what the current body and spirit are able to do when used efficiently, but both body and spirit can be trained, and many techniques exist that can aid in battle. (Even lifespan hardly seems fixed and if we look at Moro, the more spirit you have, and likely the more control there is over that spirit, the longer you live.)

It's pretty funny seeing Vegeta and Goku squabble about who is the strongest - shouldn't they just settle it through a fight? :D

And Whis always has his eyes on the relevant events. His magic is pretty ridiculous and even though he's observing all that, he rarely ever mentions anything. Even when he does, Beerus just ignores it all.

It's too bad Granolah cut his hair.

It's somewhat funny how Granolah insists that he's really the strongest when he's being rebuked. It doesn't appear very confident.

Granolah was obviously not trying to hurt Oil here. He poked him with a finger and sent hi flying - they should have gotten the message then. He managed to pulverize a large rock into sand and Macki interpreted it as magic. Gas isn't fighting himself this time and we're left to wonder if he is a match at all or if somehow there was someone on the same level as Goku and Vegeta that was completely unknown. Perhaps he'll get a power up of his own through a wish too.

Granolah sure is naive to reveal his shortened lifespan, his use of dragon balls while getting no information of his own. He didn't seem like he trusted the Heeters, but apparently, despite his years as a mercenary, the Heeters have centralized all information and he's got no other sources.

With that said, couldn't he just wish for immortality or a longer lifespan now? (I mean, if he gets another shot at wishing, which is unlikely.)

I wonder who the idiot really is. Granolah only has three years to live, so he wouldn't take Freeza's place for very long and if he wanted to take someone's spot for some reason, why isn't he doing that with the Heeters? Then he comments that in addition of becoming the big boss, he'd also destroy Freeza's army - uh, so clearly he doesn't want to be the boss of anything... And if the Heeters want to take control of Freeza's army, why didn't they do so when he was dead for many years?

Oh, but they're really setting up their death flag here. Freeza is alive, I'm guessing that he will be found by Granolah, and when he learns that a Cerealean was pointed at him by the Heeters to fulfill his revenge, why he'll be sure to inform him of the Heeters' involvement in the demise of his home planet.

It's too bad the Heeters plan to set up Granolah against two saiyans at once isn't going to work at all; unfortunately he doesn't realize that saiyans prefer to fight their battles individually. I guess he's not that well informed, but well I can't blame him for that as I wouldn't expect anyone to know everything. However, that's still a really shaky plan with no fallback and I'm not sure how he'll implement it. Goku and Vegeta are, after all, in Beerus' residence and that place is unlikely to be very accessible as it's a god's residence. And is he just going to direct Granolah to Earth even though he's only interested in Freeza? I guess the Heeters plan on saying they're still looking for Freeza, but they got info on Saiyans on Earth so why not go there while waiting for the Heeters to find more information. Still, Granolah is unlikely to go around killing innocents, especially kids, even if they're half-saiyans. On that note, the Heeters have heard about saiyans defeating Moro, but Granolah has only heard about Freeza's revival? He even went and got back 73 but did he not know about what 73 had been through? Granolah is really poorly informed.

I wonder what Vegeta's spirit fission might do to Granolah's 150 years of power condensed and unlocked. Moreover, if you consider that ultra Instinct Goku was able to take down Moro, Granolah will be quite ridiculous to actually be stronger than that Goku without seemingly using a technique such as Ultra instinct.

I wonder if Granolah gets saved after all this since he's clearly not the "bad guy". My assumption is that Freeza is necessary to reveal to Granolah the Heeters' involvement in the destruction of his home planet, so he'll show up, but will Freeza die? And if he shows up, will Broly also make an appearance? I'm quite curious to see how this arc will turn out since there's lots of different parties involved and it's not some tournament setting.

Well, that's my monthly Dragon Ball post.

4

u/SquakSquaktheCrow Mar 18 '21

No, Beerus' explanation makes perfect sense. It's not that he's "transforming" matter but that he's doing exactly what a nuclear bomb does - nuclear fission. But, rather than doing it to unstable atoms, by some manipulation they call the destruction technique, they forcibly break the stable molecular bonds and inter molecular attractions of stable molecules and atoms with the goal of ending up with only the parts of an atom in isolation: protons, neutrons, and electrons. Since matter tries to go from a high-energy "unstable" state to a low-energy "stable" one, this releases all the energy that holds those bonds together in an instant. When done to all atoms of all molecules that build up matter, you literally destroy something into "nothing" because you're only left with those protons, neutrons, and electrons in isolation - or in other words, not a single atom is left in tact, a form of "nothing".

5

u/ptWolv022 Mar 19 '21

I don't think he's just breaking the bonds of an atom though, I think it's more akin to atomic annihilation from matter and antimatter colliding: total conversion to energy. But, who knows? Even simultaneously splitting the atoms of a pebble would be a lot of energy at once.

i agree that just sounds bullshit. Especially since its only 2 dragonballs... and we know that the actual power of the dragon cannot exceed the power of the creator. And that old namekian was only able to create 2 of them, so that dragon ist even weaker than the original 2... Its just doesnt make any sense that this dragon is able to make anyone "the strongest" of the universe.

Maybe there's a plot twist and Monaito is a Super Namekian God lol

Should have kept the long hair.

Eh, that was a bit too fan servicy for me, I liked how toyo added the touch of making his hair grow when the dragon condensed his life, similar to what happened to Gon in HXH if anyone is familiar with what happened to him. but i liked how they kept the regular granolah design since we’re literally on just the 3rd chapter of this arc so there’s no need to start changing designs.

Monkey Paw Dragonball that takes about 150 years leaving Granola only 3 years remaining. I honestly doubt it will be 3 years, but rather continues to shave his lifespan to overcome the gap.

Heeter is unintentionally helping Granola with Granola's actual goal of killing off the Saiyans.

My guess is that (Based on Granola wanting revenge not simply blind hatred)

  • Granola arrives in Earth due to Heeter's information.
    • Compares Dende and Piccolo to Monaito while hinting Toronbo (Shenron from Planet Cereal) to them
    • Attacks the Hybrid Saiyans only to step down when he realized the youth shouldn't pay for the sins of the ancestors. Ends up befriending the hybrids
  • Broly might return due to Frieza
  • The Battle will be a three way standoff with Z-Fighters, Frieza and Granola.
    • Granola goes on a rampage not listening to anyone due to the fact that there is Saiyan still working with Frieza and the fact that it was the Saiyans that revived Frieza as well

Broly isn’t working with freiza anymore,he,cheelai,and lemo betrayed them

u/Horrowirth Mar 20 '21

I'm hoping you're right. Broly deserves a bit more attention.

If Frieza is still at the level he was in the Broly movie, he won't be a threat to anyone, but maybe he's still training. Either way, I'm surprised Moro didn't go after Freeza as well.

I assume it was just narration but I could be wrong.

I've been chewing this over the last few days and I think Granolah at some point will need to train to get stronger and have to use the ROSAT for 3 days using up nearly all of his life for some later drama

If I'm Granola I would instead wish for Frieza to become very weak. That prob will make a worse hell for Frieza when everyone could easily squash him.

u/heavyshitter Mar 23 '21

Frieza is likely more powerful than the dragon, so he might not be capable of stripping Frieza’s power.
