Well, the tournament is off to a good start. Utter chaos, as one might expect from 80 warriors in the ring at once.

Although, looking at the Zen'O's datapads, it looks like Universe 4 seriously does only have 8 warriors.

At least getting knocked off doesn't immediately erase you.

Forms are just vehicles, as long as there's proper justification for them, and they serve a legit purpose, I don't really think there's "too many of them". So what I'm saying is it's more of a writing thing than anything inherent to liking or disliking transformations. And what I'm hearing is most of you think the writing behind a lot of them as been lackluster.

We expected chaos, we got chaos. People pretty much started squaring off from the word go.

The Universe 4 roster on Zen-Oh's pad does look like it's missing people doesn't it?

Toei confused Frieza for Hisoka, it seems

The focus given on the "godPad" scene makes me think that those who get knocked out are going to be erased even if their universe is the ultimate winner.

One of these things is not like the others, one of these things does not belong...

It's seems that it's not so much Universe 7 that's a target as much as it is Goku, which makes sense since he's the strongest known member of Universe 7.

Today episode looked horrible! Too much recicled animation!

Also, Jiren style is standing there... MENANCILY!

Aside from some of the reused animation, the episode and match-ups were pretty fun. Odd that Damon and the other mystery U-4 fighter are still hidden, even on the Zeno's tablets.

Also, something about that new ending theme felt very heroic, despite having Frieza pose with U-7.

Super Saiyan 1 and 2 were the only good ones. They were also the only ones that had half the arc providing foreshadowing for them. These two facts may be related.

So I want to point out that everything went on in this episode was literally a minute long in-universe.

I'm convinced that Frieza's presence attracts time anomalies.

Honestly, just seeing more of Frieza's personality and seeing him interact with people other than his mortal enemies is pretty refreshing. I don't care if this is the third time he's come back, I'd have taken this over Resurrection F.

Frieza has a time distortion power that even he isn't aware of. It's the only logical explanation.

On a more serious note, it's rather sad that in one minute of the tournament starting, Goku is almost eliminated and forced to use his best transformation (that we know of) right off the bat. Is he ever going to remember to stop letting his guard down?

LSBK Since: Sep, 2014
#59994: Jul 1st 2017 at 11:35:39 PM

Is Goku constantly letting his guard down an invention of Super?

And while that scene was going I found myself thinking "You do remember you have things between Blue, right?"

I honestly have no recollection of him letting his guard down before the Golden Frieza stuff.

I can think of one or two moments in Z but nothing that he didn't immediately turn around to his favor.

[up][up]To be fair, that was less him letting his guard down during a fight and more him relaxing before the Cell Games and Krillin being kind of a dick.

Half an episode really but still I expected nothing less. They spend an entire cour recruiting the U7 fighters so I seriously doubt the Tournament of Power is going to end anytime soon. We'll probably still be talking about during the Christmas holidays.

I could see the Tournament of Power lasting 48 episodes.
