The Verdict: What's Next for the Saiyan Race?
Recently, the Saiyan race has faced off against the gods, a monumental victory that might lead to new challenges and revelations within the galactic saga. This article delves into the possible scenarios following this pivotal moment and explores the enigmatic figure of the Grand Priest. We will also examine the potential future enemies that may be on the horizon for our Saiyan heroes.
Unlocking the Power of the Grand Priest
If the Saiyans have bested the gods, the natural conclusion is that they are heading towards a new battle—this time against the Grand Priest. According to historical and fictional patterns, such a victory may prompt further challenges that could take a long time to unfold. When the right enemy emerges, capable of pushing the Saiyans to their limits, they may unlock latent powers that rival or even surpass the Grand Priest.
The Intervention of Whis and the Grand Priest
Interestingly, the current narrative introduces the possibility that Whis, alongside the Grand Priest, sent Beerus (formerly SSG Spark) to Earth to initiate a strategic alliance. This move aims to bring the Saiyans and perhaps even hybrid Saiyans into the 'divine fold'—a term suggesting a new era of cooperation or perhaps a shift in allegiances within the galactic hierarchy.
It's intriguing to consider whether the 'Kai-Trees,' or the gods themselves, are nearing the end of their life cycles. This theory might explain Shin's ineffectiveness and Zamasu's madness, both stemming from the same 'fruit' meant to extend their life. Perhaps, the next step in defeating the gods involves a significant shift in the galactic power structure—similar to a move into 'administration operations.'
Theories on Upcoming Enemies
As we look ahead, several potential enemies are emerging in the narrative. Here are some speculative scenarios:
Moro - Although Moro, one of the strongest villains in the series, has been defeated, his impact and influence may continue to linger.
Fallen Angels from Destroyed Universes - These beings might represent a new threat, potentially more formidable than what the Saiyans have faced before.
Yamoshi’s Arch-Enemy with the Power of Gods - Yamoshi, a character with significant power, may stir up a new opponent with god-like attributes to challenge the Saiyans.
Saiyan Clones of Dead Saiyans - This introduces a new moral and strategic dimension, offering both challenges and potential allies.
The Evildoer that Killed Jiren’s Parents and Friends - This individual, with a direct link to Jiren's personal history, could fuel the Saiyan's drive and provide a new enemy.
Evil Space Organizations - Like the Akatsuki in Naruto, Espada in Bleach, and Organization XIII in Final Fantasy VII, these groups offer a range of enemies with diverse abilities and strategic depth.
Hirudegarn - As a planet-sized entity, Hirudegarn represents one of the most formidable foes the Saiyans might face, testing their survival instincts.
Cooler - Cooler, even in his golden form, remains a powerful contender that could challenge the Saiyans and provide a new strategic direction in the series.
Conclusion
The journey for the Saiyan race is far from over. As they continue to evolve and face new challenges, the future of the galactic saga remains uncertain and filled with possibilities. Whether they unlock the full power of the Grand Priest or face ancient threats like Hirudegarn, the path ahead is undoubtedly fraught with peril and opportunity.
