[up][up]And yet he also sneak attacked Goku with a sphere of Destruction Energy while his back was turned, so his "code" clearly has cracks in it.

Though yeah Frieda did try to attack Goku when he was going Blue till the later told him to stop it & so he figured "Fuck it, why bother?"

No code there.

Freeza does what amuses him mostly. He probably was like let them do it, crushing them at their full power will make the despair that much sweeter.

This show is much better at comedy than fighting.

Pfft, this episode was hilarious. Universe 2 is just so silly. [lol]

17 was a total badass this episode, and is the only one with common sense in the area.

I really like Logi's design, and her gimmick could be really powerful if she stays in the arena for too long.

I thought 17's fight with Kakunsa was awesome, especially him standing on the miniature sun just to get a good shot at her.

Oh, on episode 101 - aside from Goku annoyingly letting his guard down again, I feel like the Pride Troopers acted too much like the Ginyu Force in the episode. I know they're parodying the same thing, but the poses and introductions were too similar for this episode and it makes them feel like an imitation rather than having their own identity.

When Kale first turned Super Saiyan, I was wondering if they were going to act like her Super Saiyan form is superior to her berserk form given Caulifa's reaction. But now they seem to treat it as her analogue to Super Saiyan 2, as it was in her debut (but obviously, under her control now).

I don't mind the let them transform jokes, and this is coming from someone who isn't watching the anime. It's not like its been out of tone with the rest of Super or even the Battle Royal.

Shameful posing tbh. Captain Ginyu would be ashamed at their lack of effort.

Hey guys, let's play a game. Let's take a shot for every bit of recycled animation used in the first half of this episode.

Jesus that was annoying,but the rest of the episode was fine at least. 17 putting in work. And now, just 39 more minutes to go :V

I loved the recycled animation, since it felt much more like a Running Gag than lazyness this episode.

Why didn't Whis step in to stop Super Saiyan God Goku and Beerus from destroying the universe with their energy ripples? He and Vados are very quick to stop Beerus and Champa whenever they start fighting, for the same reason.

That doesn't mean I have to find it funny, especially since this isn't the first time they've reused animation.

Reusing that specific animation though made it feel like she had practiced that pose and speech for years on end and Meta wise they were making fun of Toei's mid 90s Magical Girl that did just that often.

Yeah, reusing animation here for the transformation makes perfect sense. It's supposed to be a send off of Magical Girl shows, after all.

It's not the first time Toriyama contradicted the original Kaioshin story without explanation - he previously claimed there were three Kaioshin, who rotated in shifts.

I've never even heard of that. Yeesh. The guy can be completely random at times.

In regards to Frieza letting Goku go Blue, it's either curiosity, or a desire to give Goku a taste of his own medicine by doing to him what Goku did to Frieza on Namek. And that's just me giving him the benefit of the doubt and not assuming it isn't just plot convenience.

I'm watching Super's English dub from the beginning since they just got to the start of the U6/U7 Tournament arc, and does anyone else remember that Hakai was set up ALLLLLLLLL the way back when SSG Goku and Beerus were pushing that ball of universe-destroying hypercompressed Ki back and forth and Beerus just completely destroyed it? And how Beerus continued to use Hakai thoughout the fight to erase Goku's Ki attacks before they even hit him?

Weird how everyone was freaking out when Beerus destroyed Zamasu when we've known Beerus could completely destroy matter and energy since episode 13.

[up]The difference I think is that we'd never seen Beerus use that ability on an actual person before. And the scene where he erases Zamasu is portrayed very dramatically, which increases its impact on the audience.

Oh, yeah, of course it was awesome. I'm just saying that some people were talking about that scene like they were unaware Beerus could do that. Especially with how that scene alone sparked up all the discussion on the Hakai technique when it had already been shown to a lesser degree three arcs prior.
