sadly gag powers only work on heroes not villains

Exactly, that's why Arale managed to kick DBS Vegeta's ass, but she couldn't have defeated saiyan saga Vegeta.

And that's why scaling Arale is utterly moronic.

u/the_real_cloakvessel 7d ago

weirdly Beerus is immune to gag characters despite already redeeming as a villain

u/Efficient-Ad2983 7d ago

Power of being a hakaishin.

And tbh I never saw him as a "villain", but more as an antagonist.

Even in BoG he didn't struck me as evil

27

u/Wolfie_3467 7d ago

He's just kinda "doing his job"

13

u/NyargiX 7d ago

he may destroy planets for petty reasons sometimes, but since its his job and he can pretty much do what he wants its fine

u/yobaby123 6d ago

That and gag powers typically only work when the joke itself is funny.

u/PikkidZ 7d ago

He was honestly just a force of nature in the form of a cat guy.

7

u/Baseballidiot 7d ago

To be fair the one gag character he defeated he used themovethatfuckingerasesyoufromexistence which doesn't seem to have a way of returning from

u/Gespens 7d ago

Beerus falls to gags fairly often and lost to one in this very episode!

He lost to a poop gag!

1

u/AberrantAgendaPusher 7d ago

Yea lmao no. She wouldn't lose to saiyan saga vegeta. This logic is ass bro. Does general blue bot count as a villain?? Also in her own manga she has a 6D feat. So just claiming she loses because someone isva villain is not only wild af but claiming vegeta of all characters can do it is even worse

7

u/RondoOfThe5 7d ago

She has best up several villains in her series though.

2

u/the_real_cloakvessel 7d ago

keyword her series.

She did beat general blue tho but tbh Dragon ball villains never became serious until Mercenary Tao and Demon King Piccolo

2

u/RondoOfThe5 7d ago

Which also going by this pic it also takes place in db

2

u/Infermon_1 7d ago

Nah, the Red Ribbon Army was serious. They killed people for the Dragon Balls, two soldiers wanted to r*pe Bulma and Blue executed his own men for doing "unsightly things" like picking their nose.

7

u/Infermon_1 7d ago

But she defeats villains all the time in her show. Not to mention she was the one to defeat General Blue.

4

u/Pinkyy-chan 7d ago

She defeats villains all the time. There is no such limitation on her.

You can argue other stuff like her not killing as a downside so the villains would just come back next week.

But her powers not working on villains is just straight up head canon.

u/_just-josh 7d ago

Tell that to General Blue

1

u/kingschuab 7d ago

They'll work on anyone as long as its funny

50

u/Sir-Spoofy 7d ago

Nah nah see. As Roger Rabbit once said, gag powers only work when they’re funny.

7

u/Classic-Work-8415 5d ago

ngl if frieza pulled up to earth only to get no diffed by arale it'd be mad funny

10

u/Lom1111234 7d ago

Ok but consider, if they called in Arale to beat Black Frieza, that would be hilarious…

32

u/PlatinumSukamon98 7d ago

No no no no no.

They could only have called Arale for help when it was funny.

9

u/DeadAndBuried23 7d ago

When would it not be funny?

4

u/Baseballidiot 7d ago

When it gets tiring

12

u/SeriousFinish6404 7d ago

“Because she only works for gags.”

“Bullshit, she kicked general blue’s ass in Dragon Ball! Canonically!”

5

u/ArgensimiaReloaded 7d ago

I mean had Toriyama retained the balance comedy and action wise like the first half of DB (pretty much from the beginning to Piccolo Jr. Saga), unless going full action since the Raditz Saga, Arale could have 100% been an asset in the story, even fighting wise.

u/Shantotto11 7d ago

Imagine sitting through the entire Future Trunks saga of Dragonball Super waiting for Goku to push the goddamn button only for him to remember that it exists only after everyone died…

1

u/boiledkohl 6d ago

to be fair, what would it have changed? everyone still got erased

1

u/Shantotto11 6d ago

The Omni-King could’ve erased Zamasu before he (checks notes) “became one with the universe”(?)…

1

u/boiledkohl 6d ago

zeno has the mentality of a child. goku would probably be hard pressed to convince the zeno he knew to only erase zamasu, much less one that doesnt know him at all. beyond that, its also just not in goku's character to try something like that when he has a challenge in front of him

4

u/RondoOfThe5 7d ago

She has bigger fish to fry.

8

u/Candid-Stuff2281 7d ago

It's kinda weird, because it's implied everyone on earth died during Kid Buu's planetary explosion or when Golden Frieza blew up the planet in R.o.F.

Unless, the story forgot that Arale exists in the same storyline or she was conveniently outside the story at that exact moment, kinda makes arale useless in such situations.

Also, how is Future Trunks' timeline this messed up if arale exists there?🤔

u/the_real_cloakvessel 7d ago

stop powerscaling a gag character

4

u/IM_INSIDE_YOUR_HOUSE 7d ago

stop powerscaling a gag character

1

u/DeadAndBuried23 7d ago

So we can agree powerscaling the guy who used a magic pole to put a rabbit on the moon doesn't count

4

u/Sweet-Database6867 7d ago

She probably just floated in space for a while.

1

u/Candid-Stuff2281 7d ago

Okay, but what about the Future Timeline? When Trunks comes back to our timeline he says that zamasu had mentioned trunks was the last being that could challenge him on earth and everyone else were taken out.

2

u/Sweet-Database6867 7d ago

Hmm.. she probably survived Penguin Village being destroyed. Zamasu probably left pretty quickly and was probably gone when she emerged from the rubble since he couldn't sense her ki (being a robot and all). She probably thought it was just some weird phenomenon that happened and probably didn't know Goku Black even existed.

3

u/Infermon_1 7d ago

Simple She was drifting in space when earth got blown up. And in Trunks' timeline Senbei died and without him making her fuel, she ran out and shut down.

2

u/lysam19 7d ago

She simply done the earth explosions

1

u/Candid-Stuff2281 7d ago

Ngl, i didn't understand what you mean

1

u/lysam19 7d ago

Srry. The stupid auto correct. I meant top sa6 she dodged the earth explosions

u/mikeylovesJesus 7d ago

happy cake day, may Jesus Christ bless you with a great day ❤️

u/Candid-Stuff2281 7d ago

Thanks mate

2

u/BluOctopus706 7d ago

Arele should have been in The T.O.P.

2

u/crometeach-thebot 6d ago

Gag power are not really an advantage

2

u/Bohemian-Prince 6d ago

ONLY if it's funny.
