You know, Trunks slaying a God with the power of mortals was finally showing Zamasu the error of his ways. The power of mortals can beat the power of Gods.

[up] The power of mortals had been shitting on all the gods except Beerus since the Buu saga. Zamasu was Late to the Party on that bit of news however.

Yeah, this finale was so thematically perfect that I'm willing to overlook any minor plot snarls just because it was so well written. My only gripe is that Mai's shot didn't factor into anything later, when it easily could've aided in Zamasu's destabilization by way of Black's Potara being damaged.

With a Bulma created bullet it really should have done something, especially when Alternate Universe Reed Richards Is Awesome has been in effect with Future Bulma since Trunks showed up.

So what are the least one sided fights in dragon ball?

As in, no Curb-Stomp Battle, and there's at least the illusion that either fighter could win?

Because in hindsight, Toriyama doesn't really do equally matched (or at least near equally matched) battles. One person is near always legitimately stronger, and (barring the loser having some extra ability, or the would be winner making a mistake), it's not really a matter of if they will win, but when?

The best I can think of is Piccolo vs 17, but Piccolo was going to lose the war of attrition.

Next is Majin Vegeta vs Goku, but that was only a fight because Goku deliberately held back Super Saiyan 3.

So any ideas?

Goku vs Piccolo jr, after Kami was released the two of them were basically tied and it was just an even beat down that Goku only barely won.

Goku vs Tien was kinda close but Goku had the edge most of the time.

Chun vs Goku wasn't really 'even power level fight' so much as a series of gags framed as a fight..

Guns don't do anything, but smoke grenades sure as hell do, according to Dragon Ball Super.

I mean, Goku and Piccolo were still affected by Frost's knockout venom, so not that weird in hindsight, especially if Bulma was the one who helped make those smoke grenades in the first place.

Clearly they should've pulled a Chiron and have Zamasu constantly die to poison.

I just can't over the stupidity of supposed gods being forced to flee over non-lethal weapons that real life protesters know how to deal with.

Zamasu could've farted and the smoke should've dispersed.

Masako X explains the backlash this episode got. If you don't feel like watching the video, I'll sum it up.

> Last week's preview made Vegetto the focal point, baiting the audience into thinking he was going to be the star. People feel cheated because that ended up not being the case.

> People feel like Vegetto was nerfed and nobody on the internet likes seeing things they love being reduced in quality.

> Nostalgia Filter. People were banking on feeling the same way they did about Vegetto when they were children, but anyone can tell you that's almost never the case.

[up][up] People get trampled and killed for one. Seriously, this is not a joke.

People died because of a sale? Jesus that's awful. I've been to one Black Friday years ago so I wouldn't noticed any crazy crap.
