I feel like U7 has eliminated most of the fighters. Which is okay, I guess, though it does make the present tournament cast feel like it's a bunch of punching bags rather than genuine threats.

Well, U7 and U6 have been eliminating most of the fighters.

Also, Roshi was so cool in the new episode.

Nice to hear Roshi cleaned house. Remember, not only is this is the guy who is one of the few characters who can say they beat Goku in a fair fight, he's one of the only ones who never got defeated in an obligatory re-match. Sure, Goku could utterly wreck him now, but that's still a very elite club he's a part of.

That's a comletely pointless club to be part of. He beat Goku at one of his weakest points, was soon surpassed afterward and was only not defeated because Goku never bothered to fight him again.

Well, more like he doesn't know where to find Jackie Chun, since everyone still doesn't know that he was Roshi the whole time.

Ten knows, Yamcha figured it out but was then fooled by super glue.

I will when I can watch it.

And I just thought the thing with Roshi was a cool little tidbit.

Yes, he got surpassed, but not many guys can say they have a 1-0 victory record over Goku.

I mean, the only other one is Vegeta technically (since I'd say he won the fight, even if he lost the overall battle), but Vegeta himself probably wouldn't consider that a win since he had to resort to the Oozaru form to beat one person.

I love how they pointed out that if the jar is an illegal weapon, then the talismans must be too.

But everything is okay by overrule of Zen'O.

3 fighters down, damn, Roshi, that's more than any of us expected out of you, and you're still in the tournament. AND he didn't fall for the seduction trick (or at least recomposed himself in time), which has got to be a first. Though I doubt he has it in him to do much more.

As for people saying that the tournament so far has consisted of punching bags: well, duh. We knew there weren't going to be that many fighters truly on par with Goku and Vegeta, and naturally the weaker ones are likely to get knocked out first.

My estimated list of Actual Threats is: Hit, Kale, Toppo, Jiren, and maybe Ribrianne. And there's always the chance Freeza will screw something up...

Hmm, what if Freeza teaches Frost how to do the Golden transformation? That might elevate Frost back into Threat territory.

So...not sure if this was brought up during the episode proper, but what do you guys think Vegeta meant when he said that Kale's Super Saiyan form was the Saiyan's true form?

I imagine he meant that it's the "purest" form of Saiyan essence: pure power, rage, and a desire to fight and conquer everything around you. The epitome of a "warrior race", in other words.

Okay, so the topic of whether Roshi using the jar for his Mafuba was technically breaking the rules or not does end up getting brought up.

The Omni Kings allow it because they decided it looked cool.

Good episode, I guess.

According to Mouse God the talismans were from her energy so they really shouldn't count. Really though, it's not like he needed to put her in the jar, just move the wave off of the stage.

...wow, that's bullshit.

I hope when another group does the same, the Zen-O's also let it slide because it looks cool, and it costs Universe 7 half their team so it can bite them in the ass.

Still haven't seen it mind you. Still waiting for the right place to put it up.

To be fair, the bottle itself wasn't used offensively.

Didn't that happen in the exhibition match?

The last four universes will probably be 2, 6, 7, and 11. The others in the tournament are cannon fodder.

Pretty good episode overall, if only just to see Roshi pull his weight. I'm glad the series is at least giving everyone at least one moment or so. I think it's going to do that before we start weeding out the fodder.

It's a pretty good episode. Probably one of the better ones of this arc. It also surprisingly humanizes Goku quite a bit so I wonder how the manga plans to downplay a certain scene.

There was only one borderline skeevy moment where one of Roshi's eliminations was due to the female contestant jumping of stage after Roshi threatened to "pay her back in full" for trying to seduce him.
