Hello and welcome back all my Dragon ball theorist, well this chapter was an extremely
fun ride and if you been following this channel we had theorized that there could be a lot
more too Granolah and boy did Toyotarou deliver.
Granolah has some extremely deadly techniques which as we said being the strongest fighter
in the Universe isn't just about power.
A lot happened in this chapter and hope you enjoyed it as much as I did so
lets dive into Chapter 72 - Saiyans and Cerealian.
After 18 days Goku and Vegeta arrive in the Heeters ship on planet Cereal.
Macki continues to manipulate the Saiyans by saying the bad guy is lurking beyond that
mountain.
Goku and Vegeta both don't sense any Ki signature but realize he could be supressing it just
like them.
Oil and Macki maintain playing the role of victim in this perfectly and Goku says we'll
handle it.
I do think they could of done more with the 18 days they had on the Heeters ship but totally
fine with moving this Arc along and getting into the good stuff.
So after Goku and Vegeta depart Macki tells Oil to spy on
their battle.
Meanwhile she will wait for Elec and Gas to arrive who haven't been to Cereal for 40 years.
"My memories of this planet are not particularly good ones.."
Elec tells Gas, It's fine.
You've changed a lot since then.
It won't be like the last time.
I wonder if it was the Saiyans that made it unpleasant for Gas or perhaps some altercation
with Frieza himself.
Since the Heeters rebuild planets destroyed by the
Saiyans to sell as part of their business partnership with Frieza.
Either way they have hinted several times that Gas is supposed to be a powerhouse.
Now we dive into the moment we been waiting for as Goku and Vegeta approach Granolahs
location.
Goku asked if this destroyed village was this villains big rampage but Vegeta points out
that the ruins appear to be quite old.
Meanwhile the new cities don't appear to have been attacked at all.
So all looks calm in the neighborhood but then suddenly everything changes and fast
for Goku and Vegeta as an energy blast almost takes out Goku.
Then a barrage of blast ensue on them as Vegeta screams, "What the...!?"
These blast are deadly accurate and Goku can barely dodge them!
It only makes sense to trace them to the source and that is
where they will find him!!!
Vegeta powers up and Goku calms his mind and heart to tap into Ultra instinct.
As the second round of attacks appear to be on the way, it's time to make their move as
we see them trying to slip through this assault of this talented sniper.
Goku seems to be handling it just fine while Vegeta has a close call.
Now almost at their destination they realize it's completely empty?
There is shock on their faces as they land, there is
no one here what gives?
Those shots were definitely coming from this spot!
Vegeta is the target this time and narrowly escapes this blast!
Now they're coming from above!
As more attacks rain down on them they regather themselves and take to the sky once more to
finally see this villain with their eyes and fight.
However once they take off they are completely taken by surprise again, now the blast are
once more happening from the ground.
"You're saying he's moving faster than we can keep up with?" then
before Goku can finish his sentence but that's not....
A deadly hit takes Goku by surprise, as blood flies out of his mouth.
Kakkarot...Vegeta screams!!
It appears that Goku is down and out already as Vegeta lands
to check on him to see if he is okay.
We find out that Granolah struck a vital point with such accuracy from an insane distance,
something they weren't prepared for and Vegeta has no choice.
I'd hate to use any of our senzu beans before we've seen our
enemy but...
Eat up you!!
We only brought two beans with us.
S-sorry Vegeta.
Get Up!
The attacks could resume at any second!
Vegeta scolds Goku you rely on Ultra Instinct too much!
If you haven't perfected it yet, then dodge using your mind!
Goku agrees and they now both power up.
I had a feeling that things could start off crazy but didn't think Goku would lose once
already without ever seeing Granolah.
I know some people might be upset by this but keep in mind as
I covered in my one video where Goku dies.
He is overconfident and wanting to test his power while Granolah is just straight up trying
to Merc them to seek revenge.
That is a big difference in mindset between them and
now it cost them one of their Senzu beans.
Goku looks to make sure that mistake doesn't happen twice and hones in on Granolah's location,
there!
As he fires an energy blast and I love these panels here as we see the blast trying to
find it's target for the first time.
We finally see Granolah.... almost there.. again it's about to land...almost there.....Then
at the last second he vanishes.
Granolah is now appearing directly behind Goku and Vegeta and I haven't seen
that look on Goku's face since Jiren told him to get lost at the tournament of power!!
A dead serious look on Granolahs face as Goku in shock mutters out Instant teleportation?!
No, it's even faster than that!!
Then we get some chilling vibes from Granolah as we start to understand the scope of his
power, "I have no name for the technique.
It's just a small fraction of the power that elevated me to the strongest in the
Universe."
I'd be puzzled too Goku I mean who has a technique and didn't even name it.
The first clue that things aren't quite right with Granolah and he managed to press Vegeta's
button, you're the one running his mouth about being the strongest?
"I am Granolah.
The last, of the cerealians.
Goku checks with Vegeta to see if he has heard of them but he hasn't.
"You may not know us, but I know your kind all to well Saiyans!"
"So there really were some survivors...
"You...
Hold some grudge against us Saiyans?"
"Why should I tell you?
Either way, your tribe is fated to meet it's end here!"
Then with a motion of his hand an attack seems to come out of no wher
as the entire area is destroyed right where they stand.
Meanwhile Oil is shocked that Granolah is this strong.
It was a close one and that attack looked all to familiar, it was similar to destruction.
Does that mean he can use our techniques?!
One idea I did talk about pertaining to the Dragons wish for Granolah is, he could of
taken powerful techniques of the strongest fighters in the Universe to make him the
strongest.
So what other abilities does Granolah have, maybe he doesn't lose stamina like the Androids
or he could have Piccolos regeneration.
Things aren't looking great for our heroes.
"Escaping into the air, you're stronger than I expected."
Then coming up with a strategy Vegeta tells Goku he planned to prove his superiority over
him, so Vegeta lets Goku fight first.
Gotta say the prince is growing up by taking a step
back to watch.
Usually he runs right in after saying that.
I'm proud of my boy blue on this one.
I think in reality Vegeta realizes something is way wrong with this picture so kinda fast
talks Goku into needing to get back at Granolah for losing.
So Goku goes to finally fight his attacker head on this time while
Granolah mocks the Saiyans for their stupidity.
Which...he ain't wrong.
Now Vegeta takes a perch on a near by tower to figure out Granolah as he realizes there
may be more than just some villain to defeat.
Granolah asks where is the monstrous ape form you people
are known for?
Which is another thing we were thinking could happen that finally Granolah might start opening
up enough dialog to give away clues that he isn't a villain.
Goku kinda ignored what Granolah said that he had horrible experiences with the Saiyans
and just powers up though.
Now we get to see what a Super Saiyan God can do against this adversary.
Granolah is not impressed, "God?
A bold claim.
A name that's at odds with the savage nature of your kind."
Round 2 is about to start and we are all watching.
Granolah takes a far off stance as Goku prepares but still even as Super Saiyan
God he is surprised at the speed.
He narrowly gets out of the way then Granolah who whiffed on the attack bounces back and
almost lands a huge hit.
Goku is up against the wall and can't find an opening, and he isn't backing down so in
that case....
As hinted and what we expected Super Saiyan God Ultra Instinct, That yes we could see
Ultra Instinct being used in multiple forms and god form I felt was the
best candidate to use UI next in a battle.
This line by Vegeta is extremely important, I see, it becomes more accurate when used
in conjunction with a super saiyan form.
This line among others I will be using when I do
my upcoming deep dive into Ultra instinct because I feel a lot of people really missed
the mark when Whis was explaining UI to Goku while training him.
I digress we see some really awesome panels of Granolah firing up a 10 finger death blast
while Goku now manages to easily dodge it this time.
However in the very next panel as Goku looks to prepare to dodge an
attack from above, he is completely taken off gaurd yet again with a direct hit into
his stomach.
Here is where things get really fascinating this chapter as we look deep into that special
Cerealian eye of his.
You almost got me there...
I slipped up...then we see Goku's eyes and that look is the look you get right before
being knocked out.
The spectators are shocked as it looked like a little tap but I feel like Granolah
took a page out of the Legendary assassin Hit's book here.
He targeted a vital point again!
How is he learning Kakarrot's weaknesses so quickly?
I just have to say this is a pleasant roll reversal and payback from the Tournament where
Hit picked apart Vegeta attacking all his vital points.
I don't know I have a parody Team four star voice in my head where
Vegeta is like "How does it feel bitch, not so good huh" Good move not going first this
time Vegeta.
Good move.
So Granolah spills the beans, your reaction time is incredibly fast.
I can tell that your body moves on it's own before your brain even processes
incoming attacks.
However even a flawless fighter cannot hide his vital points.
As you dodged, I observed your blood flow and muscle movements, and I learned exactly
where to strike.
You can see stuff like that?
As Granolah boast his right eye is the sharpest in the Universe, it sees ALL.
The highlighted ALL in bold does make you wonder a lot about this statement.
While Goku is suffering against Granolah, Vegeta is starting to piece together
this puzzle.
A tribe driven to extinction known for their evolved right eyes... this is starting to
sound familiar.
Could it be...?
Granolah says his eye also realizes Goku is concealing power.
Goku says you're right I've still got an even stronger transformation, he really does love
fighting.
Gronolah drops another hint of his true motives, as long as the other Saiayn is still alive,
I can extract Frieza's location from him.
It's no skin off my nose to kill you where you stand.
Come on Goku ask the right question, Don't play dumb with me, I've sacrificed my lifespan
to take revenge..
So I won't let you waste my precious time here.
Hang on!!
I thought YOU were the bad guy...
Unfortunately rage is overflowing from Granolah and he isn't having it, he wants revenge for
the crimes against the Cerealians!!
So he powers up now too.
Goku is shocked by his power and he needs to stop playin
this transformation game with someone who is so deadly.
Goku looks to get serious now too and object to Granolah's claim as strongest.
Some really awesome artwork done to showcase Super Saiyan Blue here done by
Toyotarou.
Now the real fight begins and it looks like they are more evenly matched.
We see them making exchanges and trying to one up each other but is Granolah just observing
this form like he did last time to find it's weakness?
Goku should pull out his limit breaking Silver hair form before it's too late!
Your body can't take a bunch of hits to vital point s.
As they continue to fight in the background we have Vegeta searching the ruins for clues,
he finds a big one and realizes that he might actually know who Granolah is....
So this is the cliff hangar we end Dragon Ball
Super Manga Chapter 72 on.
What does this mean?!
Oh boy...the plot thickens on this one.
There is a lot to break down coming up from this chapter and plan on getting some videos
out coming up.
I thought they did an extremely great job on Granolah's fight
so far and his powers.
Between his sniping abilities, gaining powers similar to destruction and instant transmission,
then with his eye able to show vital points in any
fighter so he can literally just like Hit, assassinate someone.
I know many weren't happy with Granolah's character so far but I think this chapter
was a big redemption and really got this Arc now moving in faster
exciting direction.
Now tell me what did you think of DBS Manga chapter 72?
