10 OBVIOUS Video Game Plot Holes (That Actually Aren't)
3. Dragon Ball Xenoverse - How Does A Nobody Beat Everybody?
On the surface it seems awfully convenient. How does the player character, an amateur nobody with absolutely nothing exceptional about them, defeat the strongest fighters the Dragon Ball universe has to offer?
But in a stroke of genius the developers provided an explanation consistent not only with the gameplay but with the lore as well.
Needing a strong warrior to defend time, and hence reality itself, Trunks turns to Shenron, a god able to grant any wish. While we never hear Trunks' exact words the implication is obvious: he needs the strongest warrior Shenron can give him, one strong enough to face all of the threats the Z Fighters have ever faced and, by virtue of having to defeat them, consequently stronger than each.
Thus, technically, the Future Warrior is, from the very start of the game, already more powerful than God of Destruction Beerus - perhaps even stronger than Whis. Canonically this would make and your lovingly crafted character is second only to the Omni-King, and in gameplay terms explains why every fight is won.
For once, time travel, instead of confusing things, made an often unexplained plot conceit make perfect sense.
