    Can one wish to the dragon balls for more wishes?

    After the Granolah arc any asspull is possible.

    The Fundamental Problems with Ultra Instinct and Ultra Ego as the Signature Forms of Goku and Vegeta.

    Right, but not 100% of any society acts one given way. I agree that literally all Saiyans from U7 that have been (re)introduced since 2013 being good-hearted other than Paragus is a bit much though. Though Gine was stated to be a non-combatant anyway.

    The Fundamental Problems with Ultra Instinct and Ultra Ego as the Signature Forms of Goku and Vegeta.

    I don't see any mention of Goku's good heart there at all there though... The arcs that really addressed Goku's purer heart and motivations would be the Freeza and Boo arcs. And in the latter Vegeta admitted Goku may have seen his potential for redemption.

    Kenshi's Read of Kingdom

    Finished Zheng (Sei)'s backstory. Pretty good backstory, even if the whole "a bunch of people died and I have to carry my will and become great" trope is cliched. Hope the next arc is top tier as Curtis says.

    The Fundamental Problems with Ultra Instinct and Ultra Ego as the Signature Forms of Goku and Vegeta.

    Well, at least he survived, while more powerful, adult Saiyans who were with Vegeta and Nappa did not. Plus Goku was even more of a weakling until training with Kaio.

    Well Goku was fated to die from the heart virus at a similar age so...

    Kenshi's Read of Kingdom

    Volume 7 finished. Not much to say other than that the general of the numerically far superior army deciding to rush headfirst against someone considerably stronger than himself seemed stupid, although I understand the reasoning somewhat. We're about to get into the story of the King's former...

    Kenshi's Read of Kingdom

    Finished volume 6. Definitely the most action-packed volume so far. The general of Xin's division sacrificed his life to take the opposing general's life and they climbed the hill. Too bad it's obvious they're fucked after with how many are actually left of their army though.

    The Fundamental Problems with Ultra Instinct and Ultra Ego as the Signature Forms of Goku and Vegeta.

    Bardock's wish is ass, I agree. It can somewhat be made to mesh with previous events like Goku's heart restarting on its own (which didn't happen later in RoF or the Hit mini saga post FT) after Old Daimao fucked him over and the four star Dragon Ball saving his life against Tao though. It...

    Grade 3 goku vs full power semi perfect cell

    Grade 3 has stamina issues though, Goku seemed winded just from using it for a few seconds.

    Roshi ate a herb?

    Toriyama stated they age slowly and do not need to eat (although they still need water).

    Warm up ssj goku vs g3 trunks before powering up to full

    If Trunks didn't have speed issues before powering up to full then he would just power down lol. I think Cell was just playing with Trunks before he released his FP.

    The Fundamental Problems with Ultra Instinct and Ultra Ego as the Signature Forms of Goku and Vegeta.

    Meh I don't have any bigger of a problem with them than the existence of Lord Slug (an exception to Namekians being generally good). I actually think Slug is worse because he's just a ctrl+v of Daimao.

    The Fundamental Problems with Ultra Instinct and Ultra Ego as the Signature Forms of Goku and Vegeta.

    Tarble wasn't born violent and neither was Broly (other than when rampaging which is mostly due to Ikari), plus we know Bardock didn't use to be good. I honestly think people blow that whole "new Bardock is way too soft" thing out of proportion because of nostalgiafagging toward the OG Bardock...

    The Fundamental Problems with Ultra Instinct and Ultra Ego as the Signature Forms of Goku and Vegeta.

    Yeah I'd definitely have preferred if UI had the same PL as SSJB Kaio-ken and it just added the bonus of making his movements extremely efficient. A movement technique making you incalculably stronger made no sense to me, even if the anime played it off as "Goku shattering his limits" and all...

    The Fundamental Problems with Ultra Instinct and Ultra Ego as the Signature Forms of Goku and Vegeta.

    We know Bardock was born like most other Saiyans though since he was stated to have softened up, not been born gentle like Broly or Tarble. Also Vegeta has no knowledge of Bardock and we know soft Saiyans existed before as per the 6 righteous Saiyans being needed for the God ritual so yeah...

    The Fundamental Problems with Ultra Instinct and Ultra Ego as the Signature Forms of Goku and Vegeta.

    Super always has bad character writing so I've grown benumbed to it at this point. So Bardock having empathy didn't really bother me.

    The Fundamental Problems with Ultra Instinct and Ultra Ego as the Signature Forms of Goku and Vegeta.

    I think that's why Whis suggested Goku master his own version of UI, just that the payoff is terrible just like with him completing SSJB through a major asspull. Even if it robs Goku of "agency," it's still the culmination of all of his martial arts training that gave him mastery of movement and...

    The Fundamental Problems with Ultra Instinct and Ultra Ego as the Signature Forms of Goku and Vegeta.

    Then you'd have to disregard the existence of a ton of lines retroactively used to justify and lead into later events. An asspull is something like Potara's existence, which definitely wasn't intended until Fusion Reborn was in production. Ultra Instinct isn't an asspull because Whis already...

    If Toei doesn't animate the Moro and Granolah arcs...

    Do you want the arcs to be animated by another studio, similar to how OP is being animated in the new remake anime by a studio other than Toei Animation?
