>>212971083>its a good way to rinse the power levelsNo, anon. It isn't. Wanna know why? Because Dragon Ball is done. Toriyama has passed. Why continue to put thought into the nonsensical series of a man who regularly forgot the content he made? No, power levels don't need to go "up" because if you're not a Saiyan or a Namekian then there's no reason to be caught up
>Oh wow I wonder who's gonna win! How will they stack the odds?!The other's stall. Goku gets there comedically late because it's the gimmick Toriyama loves. Goku isn't a hero so why would he ever be on time? He's just there for a fight. Doesn't matter WHEN he gets there. Only that once Goku arrives the battle completely changes dimensions and he's the only that can hang in that kind of environment because at that moment he's doing what he loves. Goku is truly alive. Even if he's just punches and kicks away from death. It's like playing a video game or like sex for him. The fun factor overrides all fear.
But that's all there ever is. Goku does this time and time and time and time and time again. Only recently through Super does Goku have 0 victories. Every single win on a villain he had to rely on heavily on the support of something or someone else. He killed Golden Frieza--and that was after his do-over. Because he doesn't take things seriously. Ever.
I think the story of Goku is over. Anyone else who takes over for writing will only ever keep him the same bubble he can never grow from.
