What would Jaffur do?

Jaffur's expression stills, and he looks his father in the face. "Fuck this."

WHAM.

Vegeta doubles over, coughing as Jaffur drives a fist into his stomach and transforms in one motion. The impact ripples through the air, and Jaffur hops up and kicks his father across the Hall. Some of the assembled Vegetans actually let out a little cheer at the sight.

Fair enough.

[X] Move in-between them.
-[X] Provide said reason (though likely the kind of reason he wanted).
--[X] Tell Yammar that sneaking in here uninvited and then threatening to murder people is not okay. He has a right to be angry of being accused for being responsible for Jaffur's sealing, and if the Faith agrees to let him stay he has a right to demand an explanation and take part in the debate, but if he threatens anyone again, tries to murder Dandeer or if we sense he's even preparing to attack with your ki, we're throwing him out.
--[X] If we sense Yammar preparing to attack, stop him.

I like this more than simply telling him to wait his turn.

That is a brilliant use of that quote.

I've made the joke a couple of times about eating the 'good' Patriarch.

Obviously, we aren't really going to do that. Because we picked wrong!character

That said, what happens when we DO eat things as a Great Ape? I'm sure that a transformed Saiyan could eat/drink more than their untransformed body mass...what happens when they change back?

Where does the mass of food go when a regular saiyan eats, I'm sure they eat more than their body mass all the time?

I'm pretty sure Saiyans just naturally digest quicker in order to regain energy at an accelerated rate. I imagine a saiyans stomach acid would just be a slightly less crazy version of xenomorph blood.
 
@PoptartProdigy, I recommend not answering KaintukeeBob's question. Some things in a work of fiction should be left unsaid and questions unanswered, questions like "How the hell does this thing fly!?" It just does, don't explain it.

The absorbed biomass gets shrunk down to compensate? The Ozaru has even faster metabolism than a normal Saiyan and thus digests the food so fast that the Saiyan has no negative side effects from transforming back? The digested bolus ceases to exist when the transformation ends?

Never, ever underestimate SV's constant desire to overthink everything.

Frankly, I'd assume it gets pocket dimension'd/hammerspace'd. You know, like the rest of the giant apes Suddenly Mass?

Feel free to speculate. ;)

After this, whatever happens, the flavour text for this trait will have to be changed to "Some thought your distaste for fighting made you weak. Those people were idiots." Past tense.
 
You know I have to wonder, did the enemy show up in future trunk's timeline?

Cause if it didn't that would say a lot about the enemy, if it was seeking out the earth or earth was just in it's path.

We know that Babadi did show up in that timeline, but trunks defeated him before Buu could be released, because Trunks doesn't fuck around.

So we know that trunk's timeline isnt so different that stuff like that couldnt happen. That means that one of the differences we know had to be the cause of it, that means that if the enemy didnt show up in trunk's timeline its because of something that didnt happen in his timeline that did in the regular one.

The major differences being Beerus and Whis hanging out on earth all the time, and the reaching of SSG, though the second one might not apply as SSR would most likely attract it much the same.

Of course this is all assuming the base assumption that their isnt an enemy in trunks timeline is correct.

I think some insight into the attack distinctions can be had by analyzing their use and effects.

Kamehameha can be caught. It forms a ball on the end of a beam, and the ball explodes, and can continue to accumulate and be charged if met with opposing energy. It has strong defensive properties and lets you build up over time to overcome the enemy attack.
Galick Gun can be deflected, but not caught. This suggests some sense of inertia to it. It pierces in a way the Kamehameha doesn't. It doesn't vaporize people. You can sustain it, push to do it harder, but that energy doesn't accumulate at the end. The power you're putting out gets spent in the beam-of-war instead of heightening the eventual explosion. In particular, it doesn't explode, so less collateral damage.
But the Final Flash is alltogether a different beast. You can't beam-of-war with it. It has no defensive power and won't stop the incoming attack. You can't beam-of-war against it for the same reason, it won't take your attack, you'll win and punch through the other end without stopping it. But you also can't charge or sustain or push the Final Flash once you pull that trigger. Everything you put into it is happening right then in that instant. When Vegeta fires it against Cell, he screams and gets knocked away from it by the very release. It has to be over in that moment, with only the aftermath to be seen, because Vegeta isn't even in position anymore to keep it going. Final Flash also seems to have no range limits whatsoever, unlike Kamehameha balls that explode after a short while once knocked aside.

Thank you, I try.

On another note, it just hit me: We should have voted to invite the GMG to sit with us and grandma at the super saiyan seats once we finished scolding him. Everyone would have been stunned at our mad alliteration skills! It would've been priceless!

Talk about missed opportunities and would have beens...
 
You know, if Kakara pulls this off, either the convincing or the combat, it will be quite entertaining to watch what reputations she develops.

Saiyan society is basically going to think that you're this unreal thing that looks like a child and either breaks or befriends every opponent they come across. I actually haven't made that roll yet, though -- I'm writing the update for my other quest first -- so that's still open for cookies if anybody wants to throw one at the Communication check you're about to make.

Screw it, I have cookies to spare. I'll throw one at the communication check.

....Are we about to become Saiyan Nanoha?
 
Aranfan said:
Nanoha is a magical girl series where defeat means friendship. In fact, most of Nanoha's friends are initially enemies, even one of her two mundane friends (in the backstory). So in the context of Nanoha, "befriending" is code for "beat the shit out of".

Personally, I'd argue that Pre-Z!Goku is a better analogy. As well as Astro Boy to a degree, since he's probably the Ur-example for all-loving heroes in anime.
 
Divine avatar of violent hugs!

She is, however, unlikely to win, at least without aid. Power levels are equal, but she doesn't even like fighting, and he's had decades of prideful, bloody-minded experience. She'd have to break out golden great ape to really compete, and launching a powerball in a packed hall stuffed full of thousands of edgy Saiyans would have... interesting consequences.
