Dr Gero must be spinning in his grave now. If it were not for him Bulma would never need to invent time travel. Crazy to think that if it weren't for him entire timelines and whole multiverses wouldn't be created.

[up][up][up] I like how this is essentially a filler arc within an actual arc.

About Beerus, powerups and the like: Merged Zamasu just debuted in the manga last month, lets see how he gets handled in the next chapter, a few days down the line; hell, let's see if Goku has a single attack Kaioken Blue moment.

Because Goku going Blue every single episode, and going Kaioken Blue versus every single non-filler opponent, is getting a bit awkward.

I kinda like how the manga is handling it, God-tier opponents are few (pretty much only Freeza got into that tier of power among mortals), and the God-ki forms require more skill and proper use than just sheer power boosting. I like the feeling, and like the fights; and I really liked the twist they pulled with Hit.

Here is hoping Merged Zamasu and the tournament of power deliver in printed format.

Iwen is the epitome of Boring, but Practical, huh? Gine is also quite impressive on that regard, maybe time travel did the thing.

Belmod is 5th place. Man, no wonder Jiren is said to be stronger than Goku by Toppo.

Universe 10 is actually that low? Either Ramush or Gowasu fucked up there.

Figures that Universe 6 are only slightly better than Universes 7 and 9. At least Champa can brag that his universe is better than Beerus' even if it's still 3rx from the bottom.

Their justice wasn't enough. =D

So Rumush is a lazy ass, no wonder where Zamasu got his idea that Gods are lazy.

Also, Toei has published the rest of the angels names. Kinda disappointed with the new format, since is harder to save the images for the characters page. Dyspo also doesn't have a biography!

You are teasing me Toei, who is Dyspo and what is his relation to Beerus?!

I did have a laugh though at how, apparently, Universe 10 is the "Macho" universe.

Also, that's Hanawa Eiji who voices Jiren.

According to My Anime List, Hanawa voiced Ken Masters in a OVA, and KENSHIRO!!

Interesting! Thank you!

Also, the Universe titles (they could be wrong, since Toei is known to fuck it up sometimes, but still):

Universe 1: The Supreme Universe.

Universe 2: The Universe of kindness.

Universe 3: The Universe of Spirit

Universe 4: The Universe of Conspiracy

Universe 5: The Universe of Balance

Universe 6: The Universe of Challengers

Universe 7: Our Universe

Universe 8: Universe of Diligence

Universe 9: Thrown Together Universe A.K.A The Shitty Universe

Universe 10: The Macho Universe

Universe 11: The Universe of Justice

Universe 12: The Ultimate Universe

Must be hard to be Mojito.

I just had a dream where, in a future episode of Dragon Ball Super, a villain has ravaged the earth and killed Yamcha. While the Saiyans are off fighting this guy, the Humans: Krillin, Tenshinhan, Chiaotzu, Yajirobe, Bulma, etc. are just moping around mourning Yamcha's death. They've buried his corpse under some rubble, but really badly, and you can still see his face and parts of his chest. Krillin keeps breaking out into tears and punching the pile of rubble he's underneath. After way more of this than there logically should be, Videl walks up, tells them all to step up and fight, then she goes Kaio-Ken, which for some reason transforms her into Super Saiyan Blue instead. All of the humans immediately stop mourning and Krillin rattles off some exposition about how Kaio-Ken must obviously work with Humans. This is when I woke up.

You know, about 17 and 18 getting stronger. I'm surprised no one noticed a potential fridge brilliance. Remember 19 and Gero were energy absorbing modules who could grow stronger from absorbing Ki.

Its not too much of a stretch to say it was based off part of 17 and 18's developed mechanics in which the ability to gain power and grow stronger could have already been in part of the tinkering Gero did that was linked with their infinite energy.

In fact it kind of makes sense if you consider how 17 and 18 were so powerful when compared to someone like Frieza. Depending on the point of the timeline in which he kidnapped them they could have been gaining power over the years which explains their high power at the point of their introduction..

But then 17 and 18 of this timeline are stronger than...oh wait. They were holding back in the future. Never mind.

It must take a long time since she ran from Buu and all.

I just had a dream where, in a future episode of Dragon Ball Super, a villain has ravaged the earth and killed Yamcha.

I find it darkly hilarious that that's the first detail of your dream.cool

While the Saiyans are off fighting this guy, the Humans: Krillin, Tenshinhan, Chiaotzu, Yajirobe, Bulma, etc. are just moping around mourning Yamcha's death. They've buried his corpse under some rubble, but really badly, and you can still see his face and parts of his chest.

That sounds like something out of DBZA.

Krillin keeps breaking out into tears and punching the pile of rubble he's underneath.

No. That sounds like something out of DBZA. Only Krillin would probably start punching the corpse as well.

After way more of this than there logically should be, Videl walks up, tells them all to step up and fight, then she goes Kaio-Ken, which for some reason transforms her into Super Saiyan Blue instead. All of the humans immediately stop mourning and Krillin rattles off some exposition about how Kaio-Ken must obviously work with Humans. This is when I woke up.

...Well, that got crazy.

[up][up]That's less Fridge Brilliance, and more tangentially connected things that aren't related. More maybe that is Fridge Brilliance, and another reason why Fridge categories and such are worthless.

There doesn't need to be some special reason for them to be stronger than Frieza, and I still don't get why people think there does.

@Universe Rankings: Yeah, I definitely expected U6 to only be a rank higher than U7 and U11 to be only a tiny smidgen away from the top tier. Plus, U9 must be REALLY crappy when the official title for an entire plane of existence is "Thrown Together." XD

@RJ-19-CLOVIS-93: Probably not as long as Demon King Piccolo spinning in his grave. XD

Those are official titles?

Unsurprisingly, the twin universes are the closest to rank. Except Universe 9, which is really incompetent. Also it figures Universe 10 has a low rank given Gowasu trusted Zamasu to be his apprentice. I also knew that Universe 11 would have the highest rank in the tournament.

@Universe 9: The online dictionary I use says the definition for kosoku is:

1. underhanded, unfair (colloquialism)

2. makeshift, stopgap (original meaning)

Given that one of the Universe 9 fighters has used performance-enhancing drugs in the exhibition match, I assume that Toei intends the first definition.

The Japanese are fond of puns and wordplay in their comedy, it's one of the two things they find absolutely hysterical. It's probably both.

Man they are hyping 17's return.

Commercials & shit, the works.

Makes sense since this is both his grand return & first ever meeting with the man he attempted to murder for most of his appearance.

I don't think he really wanted to do it, either. It was more like "eh, whatever, I've got nothing better to do, might as well kill the afternoon".

16 seemed like the only Android from the remaining ones that really wanted to legit murder Goku. 17 and 18 were, like [up] said, along for the ride out of boredom.
