Gohan vs Lavenda! Episode 80 Plot Synopsis: Gohan enters the arena to face off against Universe 9’s Lavenda. Reflecting on how it’s been a long time since he was in a tournament, he decides to ease into the fight to get the feel for it again. But Goku advises him to not hesitate and just go all-out. He shouldn’t get hung up on the fact that he can’t sense his opponent’s ki; he’s strong, after all!The match begins, and while Gohan seems to do well at first, before long Lavenda grabs onto him and sprays a cloud of purple mist in his face. Whis can tell that this cloud is a powerful poison, and Gohan can no longer see! Rou explains that this is Lavenda (the middle brother of Trio de Dangers)’s “Poison Blow” technique. Gohan should throw in the towel before his body gives out!Kaioshin offers Gohan a Senzu. After all, Basil used some sort of drug during his fight with Buu, so it’s only fair that they do the same. But Gohan refuses, saying he wants to win through his own power alone. Goku holds on to the Senzu bag for the time being. With Gohan unable to see or even read his opponent’s ki, Goku thinks this battle will be good training for him.Gohan concentrates on sensing Lavenda’s movement and presence through his other senses, and manages to dodge his attacks. At first Lavenda thinks this is just a fluke, but Gohan continue to dodge him, and even starts landing attacks of his own. Watching from the sidelines, Bergamo can tell that losing his eyesight has sharpened Gohan’s other senses. To counter this, Lavenda flies up into the air, preventing Gohan from tracking his footsteps, and starts firing blasts of poison at him. Mr. Satan thinks Gohan is really in trouble now, but Goku believes the harder Gohan is pressed, the better he’ll overcome it. Indeed, Gohan declares that he has more power than this, and turns into a Super Saiyan.The Omni-Kings and others are impressed by this transformation, but Lavenda thinks it won’t make any difference. Gohan still can’t see him, after all! But now Gohan has no trouble deflecting Lavenda’s blasts, and begins counterattacking once again. It seems that he’s locating Lavenda by reflecting his own energy off him, sort of like a radar. But Whis thinks this might backfire…Indeed, as Gohan flies in to finish off Lavenda, he suddenly collapses and reverts to his regular form. Fighting as a Super Saiyan simply accelerated the spread of the poison throughout his body. Gohan still refuses to give up though, and before long becomes Super Saiyan once again. He and Lavenda trade blows before starting up a Kamehameha/poison blast beam struggle.As Gohan struggles to maintain his Kamehameha, the poison spreads further through his body, visibly turning his skin purple. Lavenda’s blast soon overwhelms his own, knocking him back, and Lavenda follows up with puffs of poison breath. But rather than fleeing, Gohan dives into the poison mist and grabs onto Lavenda. This way, his lack of eyesight won’t matter! Still holding onto Lavenda, he dives straight down into the arena, creating a huge crater.Lavenda is down for the count, but Gohan struggles to his feet. He declares that he has won…but then immediately passes out. The Great Priest rules that since both fighters are down, the match ends in a tie. Goku quickly feeds Gohan a Senzu, clearing up the poison. Gohan apologies, but Goku says it was an exciting fight. Still, Gohan feels that he needs to improve.The Great Priest reads an announcement from the Omni-Kings to all the assembled gods: they are pleased that fighters from the universes with the lowest mortal rank have put on such a splendid fight. The Great Priest goes on to explain how the Omni-Kings have ranked each universe by the average level of their inhabited worlds. Universe 7 comes in second-to-last with a score of 3.18, with Universe 9 at the very bottom with an average level of 1.86.The Great Priest continues: in the upcoming Tournament of Power, the Omni-Kings will personally obliterate the losings universes (this doesn’t apply to the current Omni-Present Match, though). However, Universes 1, 12, 5, and 8 are exempt from the tournament, because they each have an average mortal level of over 7. The Omni-Kings think that there are too many universes, and so Goku’s idea for a tournament is the perfect opportunity to get rid of the universes with low averages.Whis realizes that in that case, the universes in the tournament are all ones that were going to be destroyed anyway, and that by winning they have the chance to save themselves. Beerus blames Kaioshin for insisting on always leaving mortals to improve their planets solely through their own efforts, while Kaioshin blames Beerus for sleeping all the time. The Great Priest adds that the gods will be destroyed along with their universes, while their angels (like Whis and Vados) will be spared.With the announcement out of the way, the Great Priest snaps his fingers and restores the arena to pristine condition once again. Goku enters the ring to face Bergamo in the final match!

Episode 79 Summery - sorry this is late, computer trouble. Buu seems to be no match for Basil, who mocks him as a weakling. Universe 9’s Kaioshin, Rou, proudly introduces his three fighters as the toughest in his universe: Trio de Dangers! Basil is the youngest brother of the group, and specializes in powerful kicks. There’s no way U7 can match them!But even though it looks like he’s been beat up, Buu just starts laughing and gets right back up. He thinks Basil’s attacks are fun and wants to play more! Mr. Satan realizes that since he told Buu to “play” with Basil, Buu is treating this as simply a game.Buu starts counterattacking, but Basil blocks his attacks with kicks. Goku thinks Buu might have a tough time against these opponents, since there’s something strange about them: though they look normal, Goku and co. can’t sense their ki, making it tough to tell just how strong they are.Still, this just makes Goku excited again at the prospect of facing opponents from other universes, ones who play by different rules than what they’re used to. He shouts for Basil to use his full power, since this current level of “play” won’t be enough to satisfy Buu. Basil agrees and powers up with a fiery aura that he concentrates into his right leg. He kicks Buu around some more, than spreads his aura out to both legs and begins kicks energy blasts at Buu as part of his “Shining Blaster” technique. Buu seems to be overwhelmed by the attack, and even Mr. Satan gets hurt as collateral damage. Basil laughs and thinks he’s won, but Buu emerges from out of the smoke, still standing but with a large hole in his stomach. Unfazed, he says that last attack was “a bit” fun.While Basil and the others marvel at Buu being unfazed by a hole in his stomach, Buu notices that Satan has been hurt. He offers to heal Satan, but Satan tells him to not worry about him and concentrate on the fight. Satan passes out, and Buu angrily lets out steam and vows vengeance on Basil.Though Buu has now healed his stomach injury, Basil promises to blast more holes in him. Buu repels one of Basil’s blasts into the stadium seating of the Universe 11 gods, but thankfully Toppo (the robbed figure standing next to U11’s Kaioshin) safely nullifies it. Toppo chews Buu out for being rude to the gods. Impressed, Champa wonders who this guy is, and Vados explains that Toppo is apparently a U11 warrior.Still angry, Buu starts beating up on Basil, eventually knocking him out of the arena. Goku declares Buu the winner! Omni-King is puzzled, and Goku explains that in Earth’s Tenkaichi Budokai, a ring-out means a loss. But Great Priest says U7 rules don’t apply here; contestants will keep fighting until the Omni-Kings are satisfied, or until they are unable to continue.Basil crawls back up into the ring, and asks Rou to give him “that”. Rou throws a strange drug which Basil swallows, immediately powering up into a much buffer form. Beerus objects to this, but the Great Priest overrules his objection on the grounds that “anything goes” here. The Omni-King wants to see more, so he’ll see more!The beefy Basil now turns the tables back on Buu, with a long chain of attacks culminating in his “Wolfgang Pressure” technique. Basil laughs and declares victory, but Buu once again gets right back up, good as new. “You’re strong. But I’m stronger!”Buu fires off a Kamehameha-like blast. When the dust clears, Basil is still standing and laughing. Goku and Gohan are amazed he’s still up after taking Buu’s full-power attack, but Elder Kaioshin can tell he has reached his limit. After a few more moments, Basil collapses. The Omni-Kings both say how much fun the fight was, and with them satisfied, the Great Priest declares the match over. Buu wins!Buu is thrilled. “Satan, I won!” He flies over to Satan and heals him, and Satan is glad to hear that of Buu’s victory. With a snap of his fingers, the Great Priest restores the damaged arena and declares the start of the next round. Over in the U9 seats, Bergamo and Lavenda curse Basil for being pathetic. Lavenda wants to kill his opponent, and Bergamo tells him to go for it. Lavenda’s ecstatic: in that case, he can win for sure! Gohan says he’ll be going next; he wants Goku to see how strong he is now. The Great Priest identifies Gohan as Goku’s son, and the curious Omni-Kings wonder if he’s strong too. Lavenda and Gohan enter the ring, and Lavenda can’t stop giggling sinisterly.

Majin Buu vs Basil

Ok so the names of all the GoD and which universe they rule has been dropped. Though I warn there is some speculation here on what their name was based on. Universe 1: Ivon/Iwan (Wine) Universe 2: Helles (Helles a german pale lager) Universe 3: Mosco (Moscow mule ****tail) Universe 4: Quitela (Tequila) Universe 5: Arak (A distilled beverage from the Middle East) Universe 6: Champa (Champagne) Universe 7: Beerus (Beer) Universe 8: Liquir (Liqueur) Universe 9: Sidra (Cider) Universe 10: Rumoosh (Rum) Universe 11: Vermoud (Vermouth) Universe 12: Geen (Gin) Anyone else getting a Zoalord feel....

Ok so some new fighters and gods have been revealed. Universe 11 -Fighter - Toppo "Leader of the Hero team "Pride Troopers", Guardians of Peace in Universe 11. A hot blooded and gigantic warrior of justice, he has been scouted as a candidate to become a God of Destruction. Universe 2 - Hakishin - Helles "The God of Destruction of Universe 2. Is extraordinarily beauty contuses and doese not do well with anything ugly"

Dragon Ball Super Episode 78 Summery. Teams of ten warriors from each universe will compete in the Tournament of Power. The Great Priest explains that the tournament will be held on the “World of Nothing”, a world without time or space. With nothing to get in the way, everyone will be able to fight to their heart’s content. What’s more, the winning contestant will be able to make a wish on the Super Dragon Balls, which have already been assembled (in fact, Champa had already collected three on his). And the winning universe will receive…nothing. Everyone presses the Great Priest to explain this, and though he wasn’t supposed to reveal this yet, since Goku is Omni-King’s friend he agrees: the losing universes will be destroyed by Omni-King! Everyone has trouble processing this information, but Great Priest continues with a special request for Goku. Before the main event, Goku and the others from Universe 7 will fight against another universe in front of the two Omni-Kings. The Omni-King from the future wasn’t around to watch the U6/U7 tournament and wants to see what Goku and co. can do.This “Omni-Present Match” (a match attended by the Omni-King), will serve as a preliminary to raise expectations for the main tournament. One hour from now, three U7 warriors will face off against three from U9 at Omni-King’s palace. With that, the Great Priest departs.Kaioshin wonders why exactly U9 was selected as their opponent, while Beerus chews Goku out for the terrible danger he’s brought upon the universe. Goku thinks they could just ask Omni-King not to destroy the universes, but Whis explains that since Omni-King and the Great Priest have already decided on it, there’s no changing their minds. Even asking them to might be dangerous!Goku being friends with Omni-King won’t save him either; if he loses, Omni-King will still destroy him and the rest of U7. While Goku’s upset about this unexpected development, he remains upbeat. He’ll just have to win then! Goku goes back to Earth to pick his two teammates for the coming match. Vegeta still won’t budge with Bulma about to give birth. Goten and Trunks are fighting nearby, and Vegeta suggests using them, but Goku isn’t so sure. That gives him the idea to use Gohan though.At Gohan’s house, Goku tries to persuade the reluctant Gohan to enter the tournament; he’s sure Gohan’s knack for fighting will come right back. He even lets Gohan in on how if they lose this tournament, their universe will be destroyed. Gohan is shocked, but decides it’s best to keep this information a secret from Videl and the others. They don’t want to start a panic!Videl stops by and hears about the tournament, and thinks it’d be fine for Gohan to help his father out like this. Pan returns from playing with Mister Satan and Buu, and seeing her with Videl inspires Gohan to enter; he’s got something to protect! Meanwhile, Goku goes to recruit Buu. Soon Goku, Gohan, Buu, and Satan all arrive at the Kaioshin Realm (which Satan remembers from his previous visit). Beerus wonders what Satan’s doing there, but Satan explains how Buu will only listen to him. He takes Goku aside and asks if the others know about the universes being destroyed, but Goku says only Gohan does. Kaioshin now takes the team to Omni-King’s palace, where Beerus orders Satan not to say or do anything stupid, if he values his life. Inside the palace they meet a dwarfish God of Destruction, an old Kaioshin with a nasty grin, an angel with shoulder-length hair, and three dog-like warriors. It’s the group from Universe 9! The two groups bow to each other, and the Great Priest prepares an arena with spectator seats. All the Kaioshins, Gods of Destruction, and angels from the 12 universes are there to watch the match! Seeing Champa, Goku calls out to him, and Satan panics to see him act no friendly with a god. Goku thinks it’s fine since he knows Champa, but even the Great Priest tells him to be quiet.The Great Priest explains to the assembled gods that this match will serve as a preliminary for the Tournament of Power. The two Omni-Kings arrive with their attendants, and Goku flies up to greet them and thank them for holding this tournament, but Beerus angrily stops him. The Great Priest goes on to say how this tournament was Goku’s idea, and Goku goes up to say a few words: he heard there were lots of strong guys throughout the universes, and wanted to fight them, so he asked the Omni-King to hold this tournament. He promises the Omni-Kings a good match!The three fighters from each universe will fight one-on-one, in order. There is no time limit, and victory is decided once a fighter admits defeat or is unable to continue fighting. While there is no prize for winning, if the Omni-King finds the match to be boring, he may call the match off and erase them on the spot. First up from U9: Basil! First up from U7: Buu…who’s fallen asleep. Satan wakes Buu up by giving him so chocolate, and promises him more if he “plays” with Basil.Buu enters the arena, and the Great Priest declares the start of the match. Basil immediately starts kicking Buu around at a breakneck speed; even the two Omni-Kings think he’s fast. Buu is knocked to the ground, but suddenly smiles…

Ok a couple of things. Over at Kanzenshuu I'm running a novel little idea called "Support Your Universe". Basically it amounts to you supporting the universe that corresponds with your month of birth, for example I support Universe 11. Is just a little idea I suggested to add some friendly competition during the tournament. http://www.kanzenshuu.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=36761Now Now on to the news, we have a lot of characters revealed. Universe 9 Kaiōshin: Rou. "Tends to make fun of the other universes a bit" Universe 9's God of Destruction: Sidra. "Is indecisive and hardly able to destroy anything" Basil "Also known as “Kicker Basil”, he’s the youngest brother of Trio the Dangers. A fast and agile warrior who specializes in footwork" Bergamo "Also known as “Poison Bergamo”; the middle brother of Trio the Dangers. A warrior who freely manipulates poison. He always uses poison, and never wins fair-and-square" Universe 11 Kaiōshin: Kai "A gentle Kaiōshin with a strong sense of justice who values life" Also since Kai comes from Universe 11....that means the Clown god is my universe's God of Destruction YAY!!!

So it would seem, I all for it myself as a team made of an anthropomorphic wolf, fox and coyote is certainly very different from what are heroes normally go up against. However Dragon Ball was already a semi-furry verse. The funny part is...the Funimation dub named the king of the world "King Furry".

Ok so information on the Universal Tournament is available. So before it get started we are going to have an Exhibition Preliminary Battle with fighters from U7 and U9. From U7 we have: Son Goku, Son Gohan and Majin Buu. And from U9.... We have Basil (the Fox with the cap), Lavender (the short one with suspenders) and finally Bergamo (the tallest one with the scarf). Buu and Basil will be the starting fighters.

Super Episode 77 Summery. The two Omni-Kings are playing a game where they flick planets into each other on some sort of tiny model of the universe. Each of them has won 101 games and lost 101, and both want to go do something else. But what else is there?...On Earth, Goku takes vegetables grown in his field and sells them at a farmer’s market. Now that he’s made some money, hopefully Chi Chi will ease up on him so that he can concentrate on his training! As he drives his truck back home, he spots someone on the side of the road whose car has apparently broken down. When he gets out to help, this man turns out to be part of a gang of robbers, who hold Goku at gunpoint and demand he turn over the keys to his truck (it’s the latest model from Capsule Corporation, so they should get a good price for it). Goku refuses; he just got that truck from Bulma! Though he easily beats the robbers, he gets grazed by one of their bullets. Thinking he’s getting rusty, he tries to call Kuririn up for more training, but Kuririn is in the middle of another gun-battle against criminals. Goku next contacts Whis and asks if he can come to Beerus’ planet to train. Goku first offers to bring over some daifuku (rice cakes) for Whis and Beerus, but they’ve tried that already, so he decides to bring mame-daifuku (bean rice cakes) instead. Whis agrees to come pick Goku up at Bulma’s house in one hour.At home, Goku changes into his martial arts uniform, and Goten asks to come train with him; he wants to get strong like his dad! Chi Chi refuses to let him go, insisting that he study instead. While she lectures on the importance of studying, Goku and Goten sneak off. Goku and Goten get some mame-daifuku at the store, and Goten makes sure that it gets properly gift-wrapped. At Capsule Corporation, Goku and Goten are greeted by Bulma, who’s riding in some sort of fancy wheelchair. It turns out Chi Chi already contacted her and asked her to stop Goten from going off with Goku. Bulma wonders if Goku came to check up on her, but Goku’s not quite sure what she means, and is shocked to see how big her stomach is. Did she eat to much? No, it turns out she’s pregnant with her second child, and will be giving birth soon.Out on the veranda, Goten asks Trunks if he’s getting a little brother or sister, but Trunks says they’re keeping it a surprise until the baby’s born. Goku tries to give Bulma the mame-daifuku as a present, but Goten tells him he needs to save it for Whis, or else Whis won’t train him. Trunks says that if Goten wants to train, then they two of them should spar. With Bulma about to give birth he can’t go too far away, and he’s getting bored without anyone to play with.Now that Goten’s staying at Capsule Corporation with Trunks, Goku goes to invite Vegeta to come train with him at Whis’. However, Vegeta refuses, since with Bulma about to give birth he can’t leave either. Whis arrives, and Goku explains that Vegeta can’t go because his child is about to be born. Whis thinks this means Vegeta is pregnant, but Vegeta sets him straight.Goku leaves with Whis, and at Beerus’ planet the three of them eat the mame-daifuku, which Beerus enjoys greatly. Beerus wonders about the scratch on Goku’s arm, and Goku explains that he hasn’t fought anyone strong lately and has gotten rusty. That’s why he’s come, to get back in shape! Outside Goku spars with Whis for a bit, before remembering: Omni-King promised to hold a tournament between all the universes!Beerus thinks that Omni-King must have forgotten about that promise by now, so Goku gets out the button he received from Omni-King to go remind him. Beerus and Whis both advise against this, since there’s no telling what might happen: Goku must never forget that Omni-King has the power to destroy universes! Goku knows that well enough, since he’s seen it with his own eyes. Even so, he still thinks it will be fine.Pressing one side of Goku’s button will summon Omni-King to him, while pressing the other one will teleport him over to Omni-King. As Goku thinks over which side to press, Beerus holds up his hand as if to blast Goku, and warns him again not to use the button. Goku seems to throw the button away, but actually keeps hold of it, and presses it now that Beerus’ guard is down.At Omni-King’s palace, Goku is greeted by the Grand Priest, and is escorted inside where he meets the two Omni-Kings. Goku can’t tell the two of them apart, but explains how the Omni-King of the present once promised to hold a tournament, and he’s still anxiously waiting for it. The present Omni-King had indeed forgotten this promise, but both Omni-Kings think this sounds more fun than their present game and decide to hold the tournament.The Great Priest says he’ll let each universe’s Kaioshins know the details once they’re worked out, and Goku heads back to train. At Beerus’ planet, Beerus smacks him for disobeying his orders not to go. Goku insists everything’s fine, but Beerus is still suspicious. Goku has Whis take him over to Kaioshin’s planet, to wait for word from the Great Priest to arrive. Beerus comes with them, and calms down by drinking some tea Kaioshin prepares. It’s not long before the Great Priest arrives with the Omni-King’s notice. Everyone panics and bows before the Great Priest...everyone except Goku and Whis, that is. Elder Kaioshin angrily tells Goku to bow down, but the Great Priest insists it is fine. He unfolds the Omni-King's message and begins reading...The Omni-King has decreed that at the 157th hour on the 3,135,500,603rd day of the Royal Calendar, a “Tournament of Power” shall be held between teams of ten warriors selected from each universe. Goku is thrilled; a new adventure is beginning!

And so it begins....

That is a very big shame but he is immortalized in the many works he gave us. Rest well Mr. Hurt.

Nothing new yet so enjoy this game-play of Champa and Vados for the upcoming xenoverse 2 dlc.

Pretty much. But Beerus, who was basically the same thing for Universe 7, has turned out not to be all bad and maybe some of Goku's good nature will rub of on him. At least he's not an evil tyrant who makes everyone elses lives a living hell, the universes wont suffer, just a bright flash of light and gone. Not a great prospect I'll admit but better then other ways you could destroy them. But as they say "life's not far get used to it" or in this case "Zeno's not fair get used to it". Also its not like he dose this all out of malicious intent, to him he's just a child playing with toys and his friend. However its not 100% confirmed that the Supreme Kais and Gods of Destruction will get killed aswell, so there is some hope that the universe will be rebuilt afterwords (although none of the other 6 have). If they aren't killed however Goku and U7 are in for a lot of trouble.

Well they are not calling this the Universe Survival Arc for no reason. It was announced during the arc's first trailer trailer. I can only guess it was Zeno's idea, what better way to make sure everyone fights their hardest to win. Zeno is cool but he's basically a child emperor, he is master of all yet he is also careless and irresponsible if not amoral. Zamasu killed all the supreme kais and gods of destruction sending his timeline into chaos and Zeno didn't so much as lift a finger to stop him until Goku called him. He dose do some work, like making Beerus and Champa focus on their jobs better but even then it seems he was more interested in the tournament they set up. There were once 18 universes but he destroyed 6 of them after getting angry. Yes he gets on well with Goku but thats because of Goku's manner and the fact Goku treats him like anyone else yet on the same note he threatened to kill anyone who tried to speak in Goku's place. As I said above Zeno's reasons are the "destroy your universe if you loose" rule is for childish reasons, to make them fight harder and there for more fun to watch.

I am too, this is shaping up to be interesting. Yes she is a Legendary Super Saiyan, guess that forms now cannon. Hmmmm well then it just gets ridicules. Also thats not his limit, he could do away with all the universe if he chose to. Which is the big point of this arc, if a team looses bye bye universe. The stakes could not be higher. Thats also not the only problem while Beerus, Whis, Champa and Vados are pretty ok for destroyer god and angels that dose not mean all of them are. Goku has yet to match Beerus or Whis and both have admitted that their are other stronger then them besides Zen-Oh. At least one of them is in the top 5 strongest in the multiverse along with Zeno-Oh and the Grand Priest. These more powerful and sinister Gods of Destruction will likely not take kindly to having their universes and themselves put on the chopping block and that puts Goku and co right in their crosshairs. Also we know who the Creator is.... Akira — the Ultimate Ruler of the Dragon World also know as Tori-Bot (The avatar of Akira Toriyama)

OK PEOPLE BRACE YOURSELVES! THIS IS GETTING REAL!

Thats what I thought but it's nice to have it conferred by someone who knows the machines personally.

Ok so this was inspired by a trip down transformers memory lain, primarily the conflict between two of my favorite teams the Dinobots and the Constructicons. Also the Carnosaur movie. Ok so some dinosaurs are on the loose..(how, why? Lets just blame Barcus screwing up another experiment again). We have a... Tyrannosaurus Rex. Triceratops Allosaurus Stegosaurus Shantungosaurus and finally a Brontosaurus VS Some normal humans in.... A Shovel Tractor Bulldozer Crane Dump Truck Cement Mixer and an Excavator So who's left standing before Cronus shows up to clean up this mess?

Sorry for the long void but with everything being rather tame filler I've not had much I felt like talking about.....until now! A new God of Destruction and his Angel, no names yet. Also our first look and the 12 Universe arena.

Finally got round to this series. I've just finished episode 1. All I can say is wow. This is all i could have hoped for. The original Westworld was an amazing concept for its time, it was originally written by Michael Crichton (writer of Jurassic Park, Andromeda Strain, Congo, The Sphere and many other science fiction novels). The idea was basic yet brilliant, what happens when technology outgrows humanity's control? Now in this day and age that ideas been explored a lot but back then it was a very new concept. Its also likely that we have Westworld to thank for both Jurassic Park, which is a similar kind of story but with dinosaurs, and Terminator, its themes and main antagonist both having much in common with Westworld's. The Gunslinger (Yul Brynner) is the original Terminator. From what I've seen so far this series is doing everything I hoped it would. More depth and secrets, exploring of how Westworld works, how humans act in such a place and, most importantly of all, what dose humanity do when its creations grow beyond its control.

I can't believe this one slipped my mind. Devilman's Satan. Satan is an a true Archangel and one of the two most powerful of his kind along with his sibling Micheal. He has existed long before the earth did and may infact be a part of God himself. In some continuity his body is entirely comprised of Photon Energy (the limitless energy source that power the Mazinger Z line of super robots). Long ago God created the Earth. Afterwards, he planted his seed and left. He then returned billions years later, and noticed that some creatures had become demons. God considered them to be imperfect, so he attempted to wipe them out entirely. Satan hated their father's actions, and consequently sided with the demons; becoming their leader. They led a revolt against God, and managed to win and drive his forces back by combining his power with all the demons. The war was one bu the earth's environment was no-longer hospitable so the demons and Satan then voluntarily put themselves into the ice, and went into hibernation for millions years. When they awoke, they found the Earth to be very different as to how they remembered. They were angry at the humans for having ruined the Earth of their memories. Satan formulated a plan, the demons should remain in hiding while he walked among the humans to find their weaknesses. He took on the persona of a boy named Ryo Asuka, even going so far as to have his memories sealed away by a powerful psychic demon, Psycho Jenny, and given memories of the true Ryo. It was at this point that Satan first learned of the pure heated boy Akira Fudo, an old friend of Ryo's, and fell in love with him. Before becoming Ryo, Satan had set up an elaborate ruse that would insure Akira's survival. Thanks to false memories impaneled by Jenny, the new Ryo knew of demons and their plans to take back the world. He sought out his old "friend" Akira for help. He informed Akira of what he knew and unknowingly tricked him into fusing with the demon hero Amon, turning him into Devilman. As time passed strange things begin to happen around Ryo, he gains the power to sense demons, demons he trys to kill wont fight back, when he becomes jealous of Akira's girlfriend Miki a demon appears trying to kill her and he's having strange visions and nightmares. Growing more confused and afraid, Ryo returns to his old home and inspected a fossilized demon head which provided visions of the demons history (he had previously used this to convince Akira of his story). He found it no longer worked and was infact a fake. It is at this point when Jenny appears before him and restores his memories. He is Satan once more. Satan now knows the humans greatest weakness. Fear and Paranoia. They order demons to begin randomly fusing with humans (killing many of the fusees in the possess) then goes on live TV as Ryo and tells everyone about demons, even going so far as to show video of Akira's transformation. These events lead to global panic, mob rule, witch hunts and marshal law. The demons dont even have to lift a finger now, the humans will weaken themselves, then they can step in. During all this many innocent humans and devilmen are killed, including Akira's adopted family and Miki. This causes Devilman to loose faith in humanity and he kills humans for the first time in a fit of revenge and despair furled rage. After this Devilman and Satan gather their armies and engage in a war that twenty years. In the end the earth is left barren, the moon is broken and everyone (humans, demons and devilmen) are dead. Satan and Devilman are laying together looking up at the broken moon, Satan tells Devilman of their passed and their revelation. That they was no better then God had been all those years ago. Satan tries to ask for forgiveness but Devilman...Akira is dead. Satan has won and lost everything. Satan begins to weep as angels descend from the sky. The full extent of Satan's power is unknown however all of the demons, even the strongest like Demon Lord Zennon and Psycho Jenny would never seek to challenge him. His main powers shown are energy blasts, psychic abilities, barriers and reality warping. In the story Amon: The Dark Side of Devilman, with his immense psychic power Satan renderd the incredibly strong Amon, who's power rivals, if not out right surpasses that of a Zoalord, powerless and defeated with a mere thought. In the main story of Devilman, Satan makes an entire country disappear in a flash of light and turns everyone in another into pillars of salt. However his single greatest feat was in Violence Jack, here satan actually warp reality, undoing the war and everything that had happened and re-writing history. Here instead of the demons awakening, the entire Kanto region of Japan suffered an massive earthquake, the Kanto Hell Quake that separated the region from Japan. The event killed millions but the true horror was yet to come. Cut of from the world and left to rot by the rest of Japan, Kanto became a true hell were humans become monsters and the strong ruled. This was the dark and terrible world of Violence Jack!

Richard Adams the author of Watership Down and the Plague Dogs also passed away this Christmas.

Sorry for the late reply. From what I've looked up that thing is not a xenomorph, it's a Neomorph. Neomorphs are the product of being infected by the spores realised by the plants, infecting the crew while the classic Xeno will be born the classic way. This is an entire planet affected by the black ooze. They are like the Decon from the last movie. Creatures akin to the xenomorphs but not the same species. I've theorises that these are older less refined versions of the xenomorph.
