Universe 6 is doing really well, they've been eliminating other fighters(Especially in episode 100) and they haven't lost a single member.

Cabba, Hit, Caulifla and Kale eliminated several opponents in the new episode.

[up] It really made me like her actually. Plus as a Caulikale shipper, it gave me a lot of cute moments.

I find her equally as dumb of a character as Broly. I think you're letting Waifu-factor cloud your judgement. tongue

Man, Super Saiyan Blue sucks. Even Super Saiyan 3 had a more impressive showing, and it never really accomplished anything.

Also, I like the idea of Goku not being in the final four, though I feel like Toppo should be there instead of Jiren. That's a more reasonable goal for Gohan to overcome, especially with other adversaries to be concerned with.

Pot meet Kettle.

And having my own opinion doesn't mean i have my judgement clouded, thanks.

[up]

Blue has been used more than 3, so i'm not sure i'd agree. The fight with Hit and bringing back Kaio-Ken was certainly memorable. Also, 3 got worfed a lot too and it was only in the Tapion movie where Goku won in that form.

By the way, where did this talk about Gohan being one of the final guys come from?

A video I posted earlier.

They do bring up the idea of Gohan being the last member of his team (though they also toy with the idea of Goku and Frieza being among the final four, which I admit, has some appeal purely for seeing which side of the Fence Frieza is going to fall on).

Well, i certainly like that idea, but i agree that Jiren should probably be eliminated beforehand.

Definitely agree on her being equally dumb as Broly. Probably worse, actually, for a number of factors - the main one people that anime lesbians are such shallow fanservice, and the yandere archetype is boring and gross.

I also dislike how she has the green hair Broly did in Movie 8, despite that only being an influence from the mind-control headband. But that's a minor gripe and just another symptom of going for what is iconic.

I guess Broly callbacks have been deemed to be more important than Blue's competence.

Yeah, not a particular fan of Kale, I'd have preferred it if she was just knocked out here.

Yeah, sounds like she's pretty generic after all. Oh well, Caulifula's around at least.

Actually, you might be wrong on the hair front, seeing as how when Broly charged up to his max at the end of his debut movie, his hair actually changed to the iconic blonde color of the Super Saiyan state. So either he pushed the influence off him right then, or green actually is the default color for the form, and it only turns yellow when Broly is using his maximum power.

Ah shit, what a waste of a good transformation then.

I mean, its just...boring. Like, I honestly wonder what is the point of Kale beyond being just a walking Broly shout out. Outside of that...she's...just there.

It wasn't even her tanking the Kamehameha that rubbed me the wrong way so much, even though that was obnoxious, as much as Kale only saying "Son Goku" over and over again. [lol]

Kale feels so much like she should be a parody of Broly, but they literally play every scene with her dead serious.

On another note: Caulifla and Goku seemed to just become best friends in an instant. That was honestly kind of fun to watch.

Surprised we're getting Goku vs Jiren so early, considering that's been foreshadowed as THE fight for this arc. Or are the other Pride Troopers going to get in the way first?

I just feel like they could have expanded on his legend now that they have the chance.

Oh well the original is always better as they say. tongue

[up][up] Episode descriptions for the next episode implies Jiren bails on the fight and sics some of the Pride Troopers on Goku to fight in his place.

I don't care about Kale's power level. I have found nothing interesting about her so far, and lesbian yandere seems to be the only direction she's going in.

I mean, this isn't even supposed to be the Legendary Super Saiyan, it's just a berserker version of the Super Saiyan form.

Plus, it's like no understands that Goku is capable of holding back in this series. Hell, he literally did this all the damn time in every single tournament he's been in: he would always match himself to whatever opponent he had so it always looked like he had some trouble with them, before going all out against his final opponent, and making the viewers question why he ever had so much trouble against those previous opponents in the first place; Goku likes fighting so much he's willing to basically sandbag against everyone below him in a tournament, just to get some fun out of it.

I honestly wasn't expecting any more than Broly 2 so I'm perfectly fine with her. But yes, Caulfila is definitely more interesting.

So every time Goku uses Super Saiyan Blue for everything and anyone, he's just "holding back" right, gotcha.

He's been holding back every time he's on the robes, yup.

No, he's holding back against everyone who should be weaker than him; that's what he was pretty much doing during the Universe 6 Tournament, during the pre-matches before this tournament, and he's doing it again now.

The difference is Goku was using the lower levels of Super Saiyan in those cases before going all out. Here he's using is supposed most powerful form. But he's still holding back?

That's right there is the entire problem with Super's power scaling; it's so inconsistent that people have to make guesses on if a character is "holding back" or not because it's the only way half of this shit makes sense. But without any actual evidence beyond what we can infer in the show, there's no way of knowing how much someone is holding back lol.

So for all we know, either Brolina is stronger than Blue, or Goku just having fun. Hell if I know though because "Lol Super"
