So it might just be me, but after these last two episodes it feels like somehow they messed up with Brianne's first scene in the anime. It was a gag yeah, but she was the only one who was introduced doing something actually wrong, and she almost came off as a villain with her attitude. Here the worst you can say about is she's kind of annoying for the same reasons Toppo is.

Might be thinking about it too much though, she could just debut the same way in the manga.

If they do the Universes will collapse...

That wll be the best case scenario...

The better case scenario is that there will be a 3rd Zen-O born immediately after...

My WMG is that when U7 wiins the tourney, he'll ask Zen-o if it was fun for them to see them all fight, which they'll agree too. Then Goku proposes that tournament of Power be held every year or a few years to let everyone become even stronger have even more fierce battles. the Zenos are estatic, and Goku wishes on the Super Dragon Balls to bring back everyone who was erased, because god knows how many times everyone has been brought back to life. This secretly irks the Grand Priest and we have a stinger shot of him moving into a Plan B of some kind.

Would we even need the Super Dragon Balls to wish back the universes if Zen'o himself is on board? He could just restore them himself I'm sure.

Hopefully he just moved them to the Recycle Bin instead of Shift-Del'ing them.

My idea is that several universe survive total elimination & like U7 wins. The losing universes are spared oblivion long enough for Goku to be given the wish & he or someone else wishes for all the losing universes to be merged into one super universe thereby raising the mortal level over 7.

This would prevent interesting, likable characters from deletion while also revitalizing the main setting's universe for all kinds of new adventures with new friends & foes.

17 playing the villain for Ribrianne was great, creating interesting parallels between him and Goku. Obuni's power was neat, and him having a family was heartbreaking. I wasn't ready to see Gowasu die again. This arc is emotionally taxing. Poor Cus, I guess Mojito was just an asshole. Funnily enough, I saw a fancomic that predicted Cus being sad almost perfectly. Hit dropped the ball on saving Botamo, but I'm guessing that's because he was preoccupied with Dyspo.

On how Gohan ring-outed Botamo: it was never actually confirmed that his body was a portal to another dimension for dispersing impacts, that was just Jaco speculating. In the manga, he's just so rubbery that he absorbs impacts.

I dunno, reality manages to deal with two versions of the closest thing we've seen to God incarnate in the same room pretty well. They've gone too far in my eyes to be redeemed or have a realistic Heel–Face Turn, I feel they should get erased and have No Ontological Inertia in effect

Haaaah. I was wondering how long they could go before having Piccolo use Hellzone Grenade, and they didn't even make it past his first solo fight. And then that was the entire fight.[lol]

Having 17 use his barrier every time he fights someone is also getting incredibly repetitive. We get it.

Ah, like Buyon.

Show of hands: who else was expecting Rubalt to completely No-Sell that attack?

I mean, that's usually how it goes in Dragon Ball, isn't it? A ki attack kicks up a huge cloud of dust, and when the dust clears, the target is totally fine?

I didn't in that instance because it's a fanservice move, and they wasted no time in having Piccolo bust it out so I figured the fight would be over with that.

There aren't enough signature moves in DB...

So maybe that should've happened...it can't just work every time.

Most moves get tossed out, or tend to never work when needed, so yeah.

Given what has been said about the episode being based on speed, I'm almost certain they have lifted that from the manga. Otherwise, I just don't see the point of bringing it back.

I guess it's in the notes and Toei decided to save it for later.

Or Toyotaro came up with it and Toriyama liked the idea so he added it to the notes for the ToP.

Seriously. And it's not like he's the only one who can make barriers so it's even weirder that apparently it's his thing. I get it, because it blocked the iconic Hellzone Grenade but still.

I dunno. For me, saying that 17 using the barrier a lot is getting old would be the equivalent of saying that Kid Goku using the afterimage a lot is getting old. The barrier wasn't a particularly flashy move so there's not a lot of magic to begin with to wear out with repeated usage, and it's a really pratical move for defense, so it makes sense that he would be using it a lot.

That's so weird.

I was thinking that the other person would be Chiaoutzu myself considering his status is even worse than Yamcha (so irrelevant that he doesn't even get mocked, just forgotten).

It makes so much sense.

But Sai Sai, those were moves they used in the past and it was cool then, so now every time they use them it's equally cool.
