* ArcFatigue: Signs of fatigue started appearing from Gas's fight with Granolah onwards. After cutting the fight with Vegeta short, we get some backstory on how Bardock saved Monaito and Granolah... only to introduce Gas, who Vegeta and Goku can do nothing against. The next several chapters have pitted Gas against Goku, Vegeta and Granolah in various combinations, with very little in the way of plot advancement beyond the constant fighting. As a result, fans grew weary of seeing the fight continue. The fact the manga takes a month to update certainly doesn't help.

[[note]]In terms of match ups, it goes: Goku and Vegeta against Granolah's ki copy, Goku vs Granolah, Vegeta vs Granolah, Gas vs Granolah, Vegeta vs Gas, Goku vs Gas (power limited), Goku vs Gas (transformed), and ends with Gas vs Granolah, Goku and Vegeta.[[/note]]



** Monaito knowing hypnosis can be considered completely out of left field, as it is never even hinted Monaito has any fighting abilities, let alone something as powerful as putting enemies to sleep. The fact that it brings up ForgotAboutHisPowers for how it could have potentially been used much earlier on the likes of Elec means that it seems like an excuse to stop Oil and Macki for interrupting Granolah.

The fact that it brings up ForgotAboutHisPowers for how it could have potentially been used much earlier works on the likes of Elec Macki and Oil means that it seems easily could've been used on the Saiyans that invaded Cereal and potentially saved more lives, making Monaito seem like an excuse to stop Oil and Macki idiot for interrupting Granolah.not using this ability earlier until it was necessary for him to contribute something to the plot.



* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Arguably, the entire plot of the arc is thrown away in its last chapter. While Granolah lets go of his hate against the Saiyans and then refuses to kill Gas when it's shown he's still alive. When this seemingly comes back to bite Granolah when Gas mortally wounds Monaito, it ''seems'' like it would be another example of the consequences of sparing a villain akin to Goku sparing Moro. However, any personal grudges or growth is rendered pointless by Frieza's sudden appearance, who wipes out Gas and Elec and conscripts Macki and Oil before leaving, while Whis saves Monaito then he with Granolah resolve to undo the damage to the planet. As such, the arc comes down to being a little more than a road bump to the next one.

** Elec constantly talks about how knowledge is much more effective than power, and that information is the way to go. With his hands on the dragon balls, it seems that Elec's plan to have Granolah take care of Goku and Vegeta and possibly Frieza was just a front to a bigger, more convoluted plan. But that's not it, he simply wishes to make Gas even stronger than Granolah, still relying completely on strength to solve his problems for him like any other series BigBad.

* BadassDecay: Mastered Ultra Instinct. After being shown to be nigh unstoppable in the Tournament of Power and Galactic Patrol Prisoner Arcs, the form's showing is far less impressive here, with Ultra Instinct Goku losing to both Granolah and Gas.

Goku later realizes Mastered Ultra Instinct's restrictions and resolves to use his own version of Ultra Instinct Sign that better suits him.
