I still can't get over how honorifics in the subs are a separate word, and in italics.

Something occurs to me: if ring-out is no longer a valid means of victory, how the HELL is anyone supposed to be able to defeat Botamo?!

Grand Priest said they'd hash out proper rules by the time the real deal tournament happens.

Whelp, that was a fun episode. Tiny little nitpick though: I could kinda tell one of the Zenos had derpy cross eyes in one scene. Really obvious animation error.

Hey, if Zen'o wants to have derpy cross eyes, he can have derpy cross eyes.

Aw, I liked Goku's other line more. When he said "You - you mean you live in the same house as her?! surprised" XD

That was a heartwarming episode of Kai tonight. Seeing everyone's faces (Vegeta, 18 & Trunks' aside) balling up into tears at seeing Goku again for the first time in years warms the soul. Especially his first meeting with Goten. A father meeting the child he never knew he had & a son meeting the father he never got to know. grin

Ah very manly. Some epic shit you could prolly write long poems or epics too, heheh. tongue

This episode of Super clinched two things for me. The Priest is definitely more malicious than he lets on. There's just one suspicious camera angle too many there, plus he's feels like more of an active participant in the enforcement of this than the other angels are with their Gods.

And Universe 9 is totally the Cui of this story - the puffed up jerkass who's only there to underestimate the situation and be killed before the story even really gets started, to show how serious the game is this time. I'm doubting they'll even make it out of this exhibition match.

They get wiped for cheating in an uninteresting way or being boring or something stupid that'll probably be Rou's fault, then the Grand Priest interrupts the shock and horror to reveal that in the tournament proper everyone is getting wiped if they lose, nicely leaving everyone good and pissed at Universe 7 in time before the actual tournament starts.

Sidra also seems to be nicer than Rou. At one point he asks if maybe Basil is going too far.

If you could have any backstory of the franchise put into the format of a canon prequel OVA, which one would you choose?

Personally, I'd pick the story of the Nameless Namek landing on Earth, getting corrupted by the evils of humanity (I'm imagining a montage of the Nameless Namek gambling and doing Hookers and Blow), finding Korrin's Tower and applying to be Kami of Earth, segueing into Roshi and the future Crane Master training with Mutaito and their subsequent battle with Demon King Piccolo.

Well, it's between that, or an OVA showing Goku being raised by Grandpa Gohan, with Gohan nurturing him back to health after the head trauma, training and raising him, Goku's first transformation into an Oozaru (I'm imagining that Goku's Oozaru was much weaker than Gohan was at the time, and Gohan just held Goku in various submission holds until the sun rose), and Goku finally becoming strong enough, through his grandpa's training, that his next time turning into an Oozaru was powerful enough to murder his only caretaker in the world.

Me, I'd choose an OVA that answers the question, "Yo, what's the deal with Launch's sneezing thing?"

It's apparently a thing in Japan. I remember a character in Dangan Ronpa that did the same thing.

I always thought there was something unnerving about how the Grand Priest told Goku and co. how their universe would be destroyed with a blank smile on his face.

He could be a tyrant.

Well, this is going just about as I expected it. The opponents are a bunch of jerks with gimmicky fighting styles, Buu lets himself beat up until her gets serious, etc.

Buu was pretty cool this episode. We didn't seen him fight since Beerus arc, and back then it was just an one sided beat down so it's nice to see him win.

I wonder how will Gohan do.

Interestingly, Buu also used one of the exact moves on Basil that Beerus used on him. Don't know if that was intentional, but it was kind of cool nonetheless.

Neat how Rou is a jackass while Sidra is a lot more pleasant. You'd normally expect the reverse from a Kai and God of Destruction.

Rou talks to much. It got pretty annoying after awhile.

I don't expect it to happen, but I kind of want Rou to interfere in the next fight too, only for his 'help' to cause Lavenda to lose, just like with Basil, and for Bergamo to snap at Rou for screwing over their team and hurting his brothers.

@De Psycho: I hope the animation error is deliberate as a subtle way for the animators to know which Zen'O is which, but whether it applies to the regular or Future Zen'O is unknown to the audience.

@Grand Priest: Yeah, I am definitely banking on the Grand Priest being the ultmate Big Bad of the arc, manipulating the proceedings and ultimately taking advantage of the Zen'Oes childlike behavior to his own ends. I also expect that while all the mortals, Gods, and kais being rightfully furious, all the angels will merely Face Palm and say something along the lines of "Geez Louise Dad, you pulling this s**t again???"

@Rou: Honestly, I felt like Rou's acting more like a God of Destruction than a Supreme Kai. And I feel like Toriyama is on purposely making Rou as unlikable as possible just to give us a Kai we can safely use as a Hate Sink.

I'm expecting there not to be a Big Bad of this arc, since it's a tournament arc, and out of the 5 previous tournament arcs Dragon Ball has had, only one of them was interrupted for Big Bad nonsense.

And even then, the Tournament technically didn't stop. Goku insisted on it not stopping, and managed to win while beating Piccolo.

Or are you talking about the stuff with Spopovitch and Yamu, wherein they flew off and the tournament just went on without them?

Either way, Big Bads don't tend to put a dent in Dragonball Tournaments...barring Bojack. And he's more or less non canon.
