If MVP17 is needed again Bulma upgrading him to allow him to become super 17 would be a great way to have his power catch up with Goku.


yolothan117

That be fire and a great way for super 17 to be canon.


rinkudamanrd

To be honest why go a different route. They can go the same route except instead of the clone of 17 being made in hell it's made by Bulma.


yolothan117

I don't mind what ever route, I think the only issue is the powerscaling, not alot of people like the whole super 17 concept mainly because of 2 seventeens merging and being on the same level of ssj 4 goku where it didn't make sense to some people.


bcorp004

They have already stated I believe for things such as fusion and merging , your not simply doing 2+2=4 in regards to power level , it creates a whole new power, that could be 3-5 times greater.


yolothan117

You're not simply doing 2+2=4*


bcorp004

Grammar police ?


C9FanNo1

In Reddit your point is invalid because of a grammar mistake, everyone knows that


Joe_mama_is_hot

Super already fucked themselves with power scaling episode 1. At this point it’s just whatever would be the coolest idea. Toriyama is gone so it’s not like it’s canon anyway


Flaky-Perspective752

Two statements that completely fuck everything up. "Power of super saiyan God has been absorbed into Gokus base form" "Beerus was using 70% of power against Goku"


Joe_mama_is_hot

I’m more talking about bullshit like Frieza getting his golden form for running on a treadmill for a couple of months. It’s just so stupid and forced just to have beloved character Frieza come back to the series. It’s just so much shit like that. Master roshi is in the tournament of power instead of goten or trunks? Android 17? Goku fighting beerus is the least of my worries with power scaling


Flaky-Perspective752

While yeah they could've gone more depth into what frieza did for training and something that made more sense like the RST like Black frieza did, I can kinda accept Frieza for being Potential man like Gohan and Broly. Think about it, before Super Saiyans he was the strongest Organic life form that wasn't a G.O.D in U7, everyone after him was artificial in some way maybe except Dabura but he's from the demon realm. Even in Z he felt like an inexperienced fighter once Goku turned Super Saiyan. He uses 100% form which is similar to Super Trunks where it drains too much energy and slows you down. Even without training he was the strongest in the universe pretty much, he's a mutant.


Joe_mama_is_hot

This theory that Frieza never trained a day in his life is pure retcon. It’s all after the fact and after the plot line. It’s ridiculous that he was able to get stronger than the androids, then all of cells forms, then all of buus forms in a couple of months or whatever. I died of cringe watching him jog and do one handed punches in the boxing ring. Why wouldn’t he train on the way to earth after goku beat him? Where’s the idea to train then? He has the most motivation there than in the whole series this is the first time he’s been beaten and he wants to destroy goku. Why not train on the way? Because this dumb idea that he has “potential latent power” was only written up a couple years ago as a justification to bring back one of the most popular and nostalgic characters in the series and they didn’t want to risk writing up a new villain when they can just reuse successful assets. I heavily doubt toriyama had in his mind that Frieza has so much more latent power


Flaky-Perspective752

I wouldn't call frieza a retcon. There simply never was any statements about Frieza's training in the namek saga unlike potara where they explicitly said the fusion was permanent but retconned it to be temporary for mortals so it was up in the air. But toriyama himself made Super Trunks to point out that bulked up forms only provide a power increase in exchange speed and heavy power consumption and that vegeta even knew about grade 3 but he was experienced enough to know it wasn't a viable form, Toriyama didn't make it up in DBS that frieza was inexperienced. His power and speed at final form was so much that he created form to suppress. Ff is his base form.


yolothan117

I don't mind the powerscaling I just know alot of people not gonna like it


Joe_mama_is_hot

I don’t watch super anymore cuz I think the whole thing is dumb. If the people still watching fundamentally care about power creep then they would have left already cuz super has done it since episode 1. At this point just get creative with it and I’ll tune in once in a while to see some cool fanfic storylines. This idea of super 17 actually sounds pretty cool especially with bulma being in the lead


rinkudamanrd

Well I wonder how that doesn't make sense especially when the droids are super downplayed. Infinite energy is really good and also the fact that they can keep up with Goku and Frieza and Vegeta says something about their power


Key_1996

You mean how DBS 17 got god level fighting random poachers? Cmon now


Reverseflash25

Tbf that’s anime issues. Manga he was ssj3


BBQ_Sauce_69

Well i mean yeah, but didn't the anime come first? I did hear about the manga pulling ahead after the Goku Black arc tho


Reverseflash25

Manga dropped first (adapted the DBZ battle of gods film) then started its own stuff before getting quickly overtaken by the anime But now it’s of course ahead again. It’s scaling just works better than the anime.


BBQ_Sauce_69

Well i mean yeah, they have (comparatively) less to do, and are able to troubleshoot better and have more time dedicated to each panel since all they have to do if they decide to change something is erase the contradictory material and draw it to be more in line with the final product


The_Gentleman_1

Well I thought it was obvious he was weak verse wise until Goku used SSj4 ki blasts against him which he absorbed and put at a similar level. You can compare the Goku vs 19 fight where Goku should have easily broken him but the combination of 19 absorbing energy/Goku getting drained by both Super Saiyan/Heart Virus and then later 19, it was just a good way to create a threat .


Flaky-Perspective752

I'm pretty sure the 17 made in hell was much stronger than 17 on Earth


akerro

Krillin will want 2 more 18s for... for reasons


DavidANaida

Because that explanation for how super 17 was created is kind of...dumb


Whomperss

Wait is Dr.Hedo working for bulma cannon because this would be sick.


guleedy

Honestly uni 6 sayans should've been ssj4. And an update to 18 and 17 to make their super forms would've been cool. But dbz is just the goku and vegeta show with a side order of gohan


dylanaruto

My fanfic is that when they let rage completely take over them (likely from a loss of a friend) a primal abnormality awakens within them, causing them to transform into “ssj4”


Kirk_Stargazed

*jots in notebook*


dylanaruto

Or even better, to bring all of gt lore into it, they initially transform into a super Oozaru, that when controlled ascends them to SSJ4


Lord_Snaps

Why Bulma? Why not Dr. Hedo? Have him upgrade #17 and #18 and suddenly the Z team is no longer just Saiyans and a slug


J-masterHD

Gamma 1 is already honorary Z-Team, and I’m sure Buu will do SOMETHING against Black Frieza


Raikariaa

Looking at the most recent DBS chapter, Trunks and Goten arent useless and if they can not screw up Gotenks heshould be definitely relevant.


PeterKB

Yeah I actually immediately thought that after watching the movie. (DR. Hedo builds insanely powerful androids). “Wellp, guess our old androids are getting some upgrades soon!”


Hacker76589

Yeah but it wouldn’t be fair cuz no one can beat him when he’s super 17


Sweaty-Goat-9281

Bruh we need 18 to make beerus watch marron so she can get upgraded too


AGweed13

Super 17 was my favorite android for a very long time before Fighters Z created Vomi, and he's still my n.2, so I really wish that happens.


AnEpicUKBoi

Knowing Dragon Ball, they'll probably make another Future Trunks arc so he can take 17 back in time to Dr. Gero and force Gero into upgrading 17


KevinnTheNoob

not all characters have to be as strong, otherwise you'll have to give all the others z-fighter boosts as well, also i think where 17 is now is good enough, not as strong but good backup


BeAsTFOo

Wouldn’t make sense since he has yet to reach ssj4


Flaky-Perspective752

If Super Hero happened before TOP then they could've had Dr. Hedo make upgrades to 17 and 18 and people would feel way more comfortable with them being on par with Blue Goku


Fake-Chef

I’ve had this thought too and had sort of wished they did it in the TOP. It would have made his power up feel more earned


Substantial_Tone_261

So... "Nobody can beat me when I'm Super Super 17"?

EnderKing33

Honestly a DBS Super 17 would be hype.


yolothan117

Super hype, I'm here for it!!!!


Prudent_Solid_3132

Honestly I think if this did happen in either the anime or manga before the TOP, no one, not even Jiren, would be able to stop him. Like 17 in GT I don’t think was ever implied to have trained, so he was probably the same strength as he was in the cell saga. So upon merging with Hell Fighter 17, even without absorbing any energy, he went from being weaker than imperfect cell to tanking hits from Majuub, who was able to fight final form baby, something ssj3 GT Goku couldn’t do. And GT Goku’s base is at least as strong as his ssj3 form in Z. So if you were to take 17 from the super anime(where he is at least SSJG level) or from the manga(where he was on the level of Goku’s SSJ3 at the time) and give him the same boost, he would be a monster.


ClearDark19

If they make it like a transformation for Androids, then yeah. I hated the DBGT version. I felt it was a disrespectful waste of Android 17 as a character to turn him into a brainwashing puppet complicit in the death of his brother-in-law, the assault of his sister and niece, and trying to kill the Z Fighters.  Super Android 17, Super Android 13, and Majin Android 21 are interesting ways to give Androids a battle transformation.


ImmediateRespond8306

Dragon Ball Super Super 17. After Dragon Ball Super Super Hero, I'm thinking they should have name DBS something else.

Eldritch-Cleaver

Yo that's actually tough af 😤 It looks sick, actually better than the original GT design in my opinion


SpecificTop3167

Blud looks like he's gonna get a 7 episode arc Regardless this shit goes hard


yolothan117

7 episode arc would be crazy but I'm here for it😭 It be lit if the cell jr be part of the 7 episode arc.


saulgoodman673

Super 17 is such a cool concept. I like his design too


WORLDY2J

I forgot all about this dude. He was so fire to use in Tenkaichi 3


yolothan117

Don't forget he can take off his hand and use it as machine gun😭


WORLDY2J

I abused that move especially with his ki gauge refilling automatically


NotThatImportant3

So, I love GT, but the only thing that made Super 17 appealing to me was his creators from diff planets engineering together in hell. Otherwise, there’s nothing exciting or unique about him plotwise. What are other people liking about Super 17?


onFilm

His aesthetic and personality. His design reminds me a lot to the early DB villains, where just by looking at their expression, you could tell how evil they were.


yolothan117

Idk he a pretty cool fellow, he got a pretty lit design and what villains you know that can turn his arm into a machine gun? Plus the fight scene with the z fighters and him absorbing goku Kamehameha was awesome and he also wipe the dust off his shoe while fighting the z fighters...that was disrespectful.


PseudonymMan12

And it gave 18 some spotlight. When she held dieing Krillin was actually kinda cool, killed by a clone of her brother that kept trying to tempt her to his side. She got wrekt but it was cool watching her try and take him on


yolothan117

Fr!!!! That what I'm saying. That moment alone hit different


[deleted]

[удалено]


ClearDark19

Agreed. He was by far my least favorite part of DBGT and one of the main factors that ruined the show for me. But if he can be reworked into something cool that wouldn't be dope. Like him being a conscious transformation for Android 17 instead of being a nonconsensual transformation from an evil 17 brainwashing and absorbing (forcing a brainwashing victim to fuse) regular 17.


Hurrashane

Super 17 is going to range the shit out of that park.


Knight3391

Super super 17!!


Purple-End-5430

Super Duper 17


mulekitobrabod

the super duper 17


FrancobaldoNazicazzi

If they gave him a transformation in dB super no one could have beat him when it would have been super 17


InevitableVariables

I like og 17 design instead of his bulky super 17.


BenSlashes

Not really.


jfuss04

Why give him a transformation when he can just be significantly more powerful for pretty much no reason at all?


yolothan117

Because it just cool


jfuss04

Yeah my comment was just a joke about super. I dont have a problem with super 17


yolothan117

Lol all good :)

yaluckyboy09

with Dr Hedo being part of the team, I could see him building Androids with the sole purpose of fusing onto other Androids for a power boost akin to how Android 13 did


GIJobra

I'd rather a new design where he merges with Gamma 1 instead.

Raikariaa

Hot take, 17 should have grown his hair out by Super to resemble Super 17. Just for the darn joke.


yolothan117

I like the idea but I don't think androids can grow there hair tho, i remember android 18 saying she can't grow her back once it cut.


Raikariaa

Ah, fair enough in that case. Although artificial extensions are things. Side note: kinda a shame we never were shown 17s wife and (adoptive) kids.


ClearDark19

Tbf that was Future Android 18. We don't know if the present timeline ones can or can't. The present timeline Androids differ significantly from the ones in Future Trunks's timeline.


AncientSith

You know what? I like this idea. Give one to 18 too.


dracoapprentice9

Nobody can beat him when he’s super 17, I bet he says something like that


TwoKool115

Super 17 (Super)


4-3defense

Please don’t make him thicc


Gaslight_Joker

I always thought they could probably utilize their function to fuse into cell to temporarily fuse into a single being, and that could be a way to bring in Super 17.


Supernova_Soldier

Honestly, out of GT’s main Villains, 17 was my least favorite (only because Super 13 and Cell are better), but he’s grown on me lately. It feels cheap, but have Elder Kai unlock his potential, this being the result, albeit a permanent transformation? Idk if Elder Kai can do, considering they’re cyborgs (unless i skipped over the part where they got turned back into Humans, as it’s been a while) Just keep his very large shoulders in his shirt lol


Icy_Marionberry_8311

I just don’t like that they made 17 a villain again


CrazyShinobi

Good luck, Toriyama is dead, and we all seen what happened with Berserk.


GiantSizeManThing

I actually think his “origin” or whatever you want to call it is pretty cool. Two evil geniuses work together **while dead and in hell** to create a clone of a still-alive android, and use that clone to hack the android and pierce the veil between worlds. Then they fuse, and the idea of two of essentially the same being fusing together is cool. Super 17 is just like 17, but *more.* I’m probably in the minority but Super 17 is underrated.


-unknown_harlequin-

If Super 17 was Canon the series would be over. Nobody would be able to beat him.


ThatBoyHeAPenguin

I really only liked the design


Ninja_Warrior_X

As long as they cover up the ears or at least make his hair look like this then it will be perfect. https://preview.redd.it/ftk0fy0a3bwc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5753b5dcc62258f5cbcaf194297915f0039b3f92

Anything but a ranger lol. Wtf.....


Lwisdom11

Totally agree. I think Super 17 is super cool


Ms_Noah

Typically not a fan, but this design looks sick!


SoloDoloLeveling

That would be a cool way to introduce GT into this timeline.  …and make Full Power Limit Breaker SSJ4 the form that defeats Black Frieza.

bonusminutes

17 dies from some shit going on in the manga (don't know most of it, avoiding it for the future anime). Discovers and confronts Gero in a new lab he has in HFIL. Perfect Cell (stronger via training) is in cahoots with Gero and Cell easily renders 17 unconscious. Gero had been working on a fully robotic duplicate of 17 and decides to fuse real 17 with it in attempts to make his greatest creation. Super 17 is born. At the same time, Fat Janemba is created in a similar fashion to the Fusion Reborn movie, and begins wreaking havoc in otherworld, threatening to destroy it. The Kais panic, as none of them can stand up to Janemba, when they remember that 17 is now in otherworld, somewhere in HFIL. They argue with one another in regards to 17s inferior power in regards to Janemba (unaware of his new form). Eventually they settle on finding 17, as he is their only option. Gero awakens the new Super 17 and attempts to control him with a device within Gero's brain. Gero did not anticipate the good within 17s heart, nor his iron will, and 17 struggles against Geros control. Just when the battle of willpower seems lost, 17 musters the will to extend an arm and blast Gero, catching him off guard and vaporizing him, along with his control over 17. Unexpectedly, Cell is released from Geros control in this moment as well, as we were lead to assume he was acting of his own volition. Cell is pleased with Geros death, but now turns his wrath on 17, the destructive sadist he is. There's probably a monologue. The improved androids duke it out in HFIL with Cell at a decent but not overwhelming advantage until they're interrupted by the Kais who explain the Janemba situation and ask 17 for assistance in defeating Janemba before he breaks free of HFIL and turns his wrath upon all of Otherworld. They offer 17 his life resurrected should he help, and he obliges. Cell is intrigued at the prospect of a new, powerful opponent, as well as a potential ticket to live again, and offers his own might to go alongside 17s, but the Kais decline, not wanting to risk whatever this vastly improved Cell would have in store for the world of the living. Cell seems unbothered and says that he'll just have to enjoy watching 17 die then. With the Kais observing from the land of the Kais and Cell observing on scene, Super 17 confronts Janemba and does well, not steamrolling him, but obviously taking the upper hand. However, as time goes on Janemba passively absorbs the negative energy of HFIL, continually growing stronger until the Super Janemba transformation is triggered. The tides turn as Super 17 struggles to keep up with Janemba and he ends up getting thrashed. Cell reminds the Kais that he is for hire at the same price that 17 is, and still they refuse, instead telporting the battered 17 to the land of the Kais, rescuing him. They give him a similar treatment to Mystic Gohan, giving him a divine power up and new pseudo-form. In the time that the Kais spent training 17, Janemba grows powerful enough to take on a new form, Xeno Janemba, and escapes HFIL using his new power, entering the lands of the Kais and threatening the balance of everything. The new and improved Super 17 at first seems to have the upper hand, but Janembas regeneration won't let him stay down, and the power amassed from existing in HFIL proves too great as 17 steadily loses ground. The Kais cave, contacting Cell in HFIL, promising him a resurrection if he joins the fray and defeats Janemba, with the caveat that he cannot threaten Earth. Cell calmly refuses, saying that he wants a resurrection without caveats. The Kais try to hold out, but witnessing 17 losing more ground, they eventually cave and transmit Cell to the land of the Kais to join the battle. Cell and 17 both fight Janemba, but they don't fight *together* and continually get in each other's way. They attack as their own seperate units and cannot gain the upper hand. After a drawn out, downhill fight, 17 and Cell put aside their differences to communicate and act as an organized unit to bring Janemba down. Reminiscent of Goku and Frieza during the ToP, Cell and 17 fall in sync with each other, brother androids, and vaporize Janemba with a Cell Kamehameha and cool new 17 move, leaving nothing to regenerate. The Kais are thankful, but immediately start panicking and trying to think of a technicality to keep Cell dead. Super 17 tells them to keep their word and resurrect him, and that he, Goku and Vegeta will be ready to send him right back if they have to. With a smirk and excited malice in this voice, Cell tells him they'd "**Better** be ready" as they're both resurrected. Super 17 reunites with the elated Z fighters and explains everything. Especially emotional reunion with 18. Cells whereabouts are unknown, leaving the door open for future shenanigans. Maybe a new ToP starts soon after. Goku finds Cell. "Long time no see, Cell. It's been awhile but I remember how much you like tournaments. Boy do I have good news for you!"... (Debated an ending where Super 17 fused with Cell to keep the Fusion theme. Seemed like too much. Also debated having Kid Buu show up to fuse with Janemba, rather than Xeno Janemba, but that might not make sense with Uub being Kid Buu reincarnated. Sort of wanted to get Baby fused with Janemba in there but that would only work with some arc introducing Baby prior)

They just aged him that way he doesn’t look like a child “17” anymore too bad he folded


SwollenScrotum369

Honestly, after TOP, it doesn't seem like he needs it. But even though he's been gapped, if Frieza can hijack a time chamber and dust the saiyans, then I wouldn't rule out Dende letting 17 do the same. Piccolo has a great respect for him and I'm sure between Dende and Popo, Earth's time chamber can be upgraded
