It does make it seem like the entire tournament is a farce when one universe is literally favored by the Almighty.

[up]×6

Six have done a good job of eliminating fighters.

In fact, hasn't it been 6 & 7 doing most of the eliminations so far?

[up]

I don't think he's favouring them, i think Zen-Oh would do the same if the other Universes did something cool that seems like it's breaking the rules.

[up] Basil, Ribrianne and Jimizu are the only three warriors not from Universe 6 or 7 who have eliminated anyone.

@Lionheart: That was the only downside of an otherwise good episode, but they had to get in one Roshi sex joke I suppose...at least nothing actually came from it.

I do question keeping Roshi in this episode though; if he had died, at least it would have added some emotional weight to this arc. But hey, we still get a rather humanizing moment from Goku for once, glad they didn't completely forget that he has feelings.

I wish we could've spent a little more time with Darkori. That sequence in the shadow dimension was awesomely surreal; seems like the animators really took the opportunity to let their imagination run wild.

Ok, I've seen it.

I suppose Zen-O wouldn't have played favourites if someone else did it, but the thing with the Mafuuba is still kinda annoying.

Roshi busted out a few old tricks (I was wondering if he'd use the hypnotism), and all that's left is the Thundershock Surprise I suppose.

They showed him more respect than they did Krillin, and Krillin was doing pretty well before he got taken out.

Man, this episode was so good. Roshi was super cool, and all three of the U4 fighters had neat and interesting fighting styles, even if the first girl really needs to get stronger if she's going to be using energy weapons. Interesting that apparently Roshi was inspired to get back to training off-screen by Goku and Krillin's persistence in growing ever stronger. I was annoyed that they used 'he trained off-screen' as an excuse to justify Roshi being strong again, but contextualizing it in this episode made it into a part of his character development.

Overall this is definitely one of my favorite episodes in the tournament so far, and that really means something considering the high quality every single episode of this tournament has had so far.

In other news, apparently there was a huge 'top 20 anime/manga hero/heroine character' poll in Japan and Son Goku won 1st place in both categories: people born in 1926-1989 and people born in 1989-now.

Gohan also won 17th in the younger category while Arale won 15th in the older category. Vegeta didn't place in either.

Damn Goku really is an icon. Though at least Gohan got a spot.

I too like to see this list.

It literally just happened. My source is a tumblr post with screenshots that I can't find again. It'll be easier to find a source tomorrow.

Too bad Krillin got eliminated like a chump, but dang, Master Roshi's actually really cool.

Was the whole eliminating universes thing just because zen-o's can't count that high?

Next episode seems interesting. They've usually been advertising the next episodes of the arc either by having it show it'll be a fighter from Universe 7's time to shine, or by putting an emphasis on fighting a group of fighters from a certain universe. This next one looks like it'll primarily be focusing on fighting a single fighter

I hate how it seems like every week the other universes are just taking turns to see who will lose to U7. So annoying.

That was the only way this could play out, so I'm not surprised.

Remember that everyone collectively agreed to target U7 before the tournament even began, because the whole thing is Goku's fault.
