That seems like a minor comedic moment...if it ever shouldn't happen again.

It's kinda long winded but basically two omnipotent beings pass time by making bets with each other, especially by having speedsters from other planets race each other. The loser gets their planet destroyed. The Flash gets caught up in this and, for reasons unknown to me, ends up making a bet with one of said beings that he can get to Earth before said being can. Said being can teleport there instantaneously so The Flash had to move faster than instantaneous.

[up] No, it was a 100% serious moment.

For what it's worth, The Flash has shown, on numerous occasions, that he can run fast enough to travel forwards or backwards in time so him arriving at his destination before he left really isn't that noteworthy. I don't know why he had to go through such a convoluted process in order to do it.

Does anyone know why Super added the post-production filter recently?

So I need to do a google search to understand what you mean here.

So apparently the gods do indeed blame Goku for the whole thing. Go figure.

Wait no, hold on I read that wrong. Bergamo blames Goku for it and comes up with the idea to remove the blowing up if he wins. This turns the gods against Goku so they still hate him, just for a slightly different reason.

When I think of Beerus, I don't think of a CM in any way. Rather, I think the best comparison is a Greek god, especially Zeus. Being able to do whatever he wants on account of being overwhelmingly powerful? Check. Being temperamental and cruel? Check. Helping to keep things in order and mainly doing his job, not without a softer side? Zeus did uphold things like Sacred Hospitality, so check.

What I mean is that the reason Super now looks the way it does is because they put the animation through some kind of visual filter. I'm just wondering Toei's reasoning for doing this.

Goku relishes the fact that all of the universes are out to get him. Also, I guess he just doesn't care about the erasure rule, because he cheered triumphantly when he won, despite the fact that if he had lost, he could've still fought strong opponents....except without the blowing up universes thing. So props to Goku for staying classy I suppose. I'm kind of hoping Toppo just beats the hell out of him now really.

[up] Goku couldn't throw the fight because the Grand Priest threatened that Zeno would destroy all the universes if he did. Basically a no-win situation.

This does sound unnecessarily convoluted, and like they can't decide whether they want Goku to be the bad guy in this or not. Just pick one already.

Why not both? :l

Who cares if it's convoluted, wouldn't be the only convoluted plot point in Super...

Goku Black still confuses me a little.

Goku still shouldn't be chipper about the whole thing though.

I think they're settling on bad guy for now. Especially since Toppo is, in all likelihood, going to lay Goku flat for this.

Didn't have to be convoluted...could've just had Karrot be the bad guy, but no, now they're just zag-zigging.

Since Goku couldn't throw the fight, I fail to see how he's the bad guy here. Sure he was very insensitive but that doesn't make him antagonistic.

Honestly, I'm not sure I even understand being mad at him for being happy he won. If everyone is in danger either way, he might as well have fun.

I think they're trying to portray Goku and Zen-Oh as being in the wrong here.

I think they just assume Goku has greater importance here when he actually doesn't.

Like they think he's in scheme with Zeno & that the tournament is largely for the former's pleasure & due to his association with Zeno they think he's special or something.

They most likely believe Goku is putting up some kind of front & that there's more to him which is that he's some kind of sinister figure.
