Oh, that's true. Pre-god Goku did get it the worst against Beerus. It's just that unlike him though, the other Z-fighters usually don't get a chance to shine now, but I guess it was alright considering, aside from Gotenks.

Which, by the way, is retarded in of itself. Clearly there is no permanent repercussions to the Saiyans involved by giving each other Super Saiyan God form. Clearly they went out of their way to do it for Vegeta too, even though there was no crisis...

So why the hell doesn't every single Saiyan have SSJG as of RoF?

It isn't about the Z fighters being downplayed, their performances against Beerus were too good if anything. It's just that Vegeta was ridiculously powerful in this one; far moreso than pre-God Goku.

Because it's not supposed to be a permanent form. Goku and Vegeta are freak fighters which is why they could do it. Even prior "all I do is fight" pure sayians couldn't have it forever and died specifically because it ran out.

We're under the impression if Vegeta did it, that the others tried it too but they were too shitty to absorb it back into themselves. At least that's what I got without looking anything up.

Or no one else care that much about fighting like those two and passed on it.

With the kind of potential saiyans in general tend to have, why would the 'rage boost' only be exclusive to Vegeta? lol Heck, it used to be Gohan's shtick for the longest time.
Eh?

Its not exclusive to Vegeta. Gohan has made a living out of rage boosts, so yeah. It just looks like its Vegeta's turn lol. But I can see why Vegeta could very well stick to it. The guy has a lot of pent up anger and frustrations. And now he has reasons similar to Goku and Gohan to explode into rage fits without directing his anger into himself. It makes sense to me.

Also, does anyone know how the SSJG transformation is even supposed to work? So, what, 5 Super Saiyans just pour all of their ki into one? If they can transfer Ki on that scale without any new training or practice, why haven't they tried similar tactics before?

Nah. It just seems to involve the presence of Saiyans. After all how much ki could a fetus have?

If an enraged SSJ2 Vegeta could damage Beerus a little, whose to say an angered SSJ3 Gotenks couldn't of done the same after having his mom slapped? Not having him do/attempt anything beyond his base form is just a waste, regardless.

And uh, no one was questioning Beerus's ability to beat the Z-fighters at full power. Would've been nice though to see some of them besides Vegeta do a little something to him before that though.

Exactly. 👆

Let me see Beerus own SSJ3 Gotenks. Let me see Beerus own Mystic Gohan one-on-one(instead of slapping him with Boo.) Etc.

The word "mutation" is simply how the transformation into a Super Saiyan is described. Take this line from DBS ep. 3, for example:

Whis: "It seems the Saiyans have learned a technique that causes them to mutate and multiplies their battle power many times over. If I'm not mistaken, they call it 'Super Saiyan'."

IOW, any Saiyan who can transform into a SSJ(and beyond) is undergoing a "mutation", according to Whis.

As AuraAngel mentioned: the SSJG ritual simply requires any 5 beings with Saiyan blood. A specific level of ki isn't a prerequisite(nor does it matter.)

I like the blank eyes on Vegeta's mutation. Reminds me of Broly.

I would like to see that as well. But the fact that he was taken out so easily makes me think there would be no real fight. So what is the point.

I seemed a little unique though. imo. The fact that they made him seem like he was going mad and all. Something we have not seen before in a saiyan. But overall yup I agree

The point would be for us to at least see the Z Fighters try to do their best. Gotenks, for example, holding back 400x power against Beerus is just ridiculous. It tells me that Toriyama wants absolutely nothing to do with him these days, which is a shame.

It is definitely unique in the fact that Vegeta somehow powered up WAY beyond the confines of SSJ2, without transforming into a higher level of SSJ. However, the simple fact that it was dubbed as a 'mutation' isn't what makes it unique, like carver said.

Yea that is true. That is kinda what I was talking about with the out of character stuff. No reason they should not be go all out against him from what he did to Buu.

Agreed. Kinda shows how irrelevant the SSJ forms are

Totally agree. This last episode felt like a troll fest from beginning to end. I haven't seen anything from Super yet that I preferred to how it was done in the movie.

To be fair, Gotenks never goes all out at start. And before he could try Beerus took him out. Even in YO, Son Gokou and his friends return we only see Gotenks go super saiyan.

As for Gohan: at least in BoG he was able to sneak up on Beerus and briefly put him in a hold, before he was owned by a few strikes... Yet all it took in DBS to take Gohan completely out of commission was Beerus slapping him with Boo. It's sad.

Again, I have no problem with Beerus owning them easily--but there's just no need to go out of your way to take a steaming shit on them, like Toriyama has done. srsly

Yeah, and he didn't even go SSJ here... Which is even more ridiculous.

Gohan went mystic in Super? Just making sure.

^ Yeah:

Which is why the manga is working at the moment. It is basically hurrying to the new stuff and that stuff is neat.

I will say I like the extended interaction between Beerus and the humans. They get along better than you'd expect.

I just think that Toriyama just plainly forgets. After all, he's claimed it multiple times.

He even had to go back and read the whole series prior to making the movies.

Toriyama is quickly starting to remind me of a George Lucas. In the not so good way.
