- Goku attacks Granolah and stops his attack.
- The ship lands and Monite gets out of it.
- Monite: "40 years ago, the one who saved us was a Saiyan called Bardock".
Vegeta is a complete dipshit, indeed... But at least it was implied that he was faking his old 'tude, because he thought it was a prerequisite for activating UE. I was starting to get annoyed that all of his previous character-building was being flushed.
Also interesting to see that they're trying to make Bardock relevant again...
Thought it was interesting to see Goku refining UI a bit more in his 'lower forms', to the point where he was using it(while in SSB) to evade Granolah's vital strikes and whatnot.
But yeah, with the reveal that Bardock saved the Cerealians, it definitely seems like the plot is being angled for Granolah to team-up with Goku and Vegeta against the true big bad... Only question is WHO that will be?
They've name-dropped Freeza so much in this arc that it's hard for me to imagine him not showing up... But then there's also OG-73 floating around, as well as the Heeters plotting in the background.
Originally posted by MendaxA prerequisite for complete mastery of UE seems to be for the concept of destruction to always be on the user's mind on a fundamental/subconscious level:
I'll ask this here also-
That said, Pure Boo is the most obvious answer to me. Toriyama confirmed that Boo has existed since time immemorial, and acted as an almost elemental force of evil and rampaging destruction over the course of eons... UE would come very naturally to him.
My next choice would be Freeza, for similar reasons(albeit to a lesser extent than Pure Boo.)
Goku vs Full Powered Beerus. The best fights I've seen in DB history...

And yes, I know it's not real.
