3: Looking for Challengers!! Who is the Strongest?

[4starsaviour]

[A lot has happened since Goku last addressed the community at large, mostly because he tends to forget where his device is. His arch-enemy showed up (and left), his birth father showed up (and left), his rival showed up, he got a job, he moved to another city...

He didn't put anything on the network for any of that, so whatever he's here to talk about must be important, right?]

[Video]

Hey, everyone! Who's the strongest person you've ever fought? It could be here or back home; I just wanna hear about 'em!

[...Of course not; it's Goku. Training against the same people in the Holodeck again and again can get old, especially since Goku can't quite figure out how to get the holograms of Beerus, Whis, Monaka, Arale, and the other powerhouses to fight at full power. Either he gets a wider variety of opponents to face in there or he gets to fight an actual person - either way, he gets what he wants!]

Really? [He's trying to picture that, but the only dragon he's really familiar with is this guy, which makes it difficult.] Dunno how that would work.

So how strong is he? An' does he grant wishes?

[video]

[fairysoul]

He's very strong. Almost unstoppable. [Since he can feed off other's magic.]

Not really. [...unless you have death wishes, then maybe.]

[video]

[4starsaviour]

That's too bad - all of the dragons that I've seen grant wishes, but I guess they're different in other places, huh?

Still, now I definitely wanna see how strong he is!

[video]

[fairysoul]

Did you ever ask a dragon to grant one of your wishes before?

[A soft smile.] Hopefully you'll never have to find out.

[video]

[4starsaviour]

Oh, all the time! Usually to bring people back to life, but the Earth would be in all kinds of danger without Shenron around!

[video]

[fairysoul]

Dragons can bring people back to life in your world? That's incredible! Are they the equivalents of gods, then?

[video]

[4starsaviour]

Not really - God made Shenron, an' there's a few other dragons on other worlds, but most of the gods look after life throughout the universe. Then there's Lord Beerus an' Zenny, but they're different.

[video]

[fairysoul]

Ah, okay. How many dragons did the gods create?

Different how?

[video]

[4starsaviour]

Just the one, I think, but his replacement made another one. [Theology in Dragon Ball is weeeeeeeird.]

Well, Lord Beerus is the God of Destruction - guess it's part of some kinda balance, but he mostly just blows up planets if the food they serve him isn't good enough. [He only paid attention to half of what King Kai said about Beerus, mostly the stuff about how insanely strong he is.]

An' Zenny's the King of Everything, but he's just a little kid - I dunno why everybody freaks out about him. [Sure, Goku saw him erase an entire universe, but that was to stop a bad guy, so it's not like it's a completely bad thing.]

[video]

[fairysoul]

His... replacement. I see. [She wishes ther was a book about that. It certainly would be most interesting to read.]

...That's mean. But I know Destruction is part of a bigger cycle, yes.

Of Everything? [That's convenient.] Just because he looks like a kid, doesn't mean he actually is one. By mortal standards. [Look at Mavis, she's a living proof of that.] How long do people live in your world?
