I kind of hope he ends up being one giant red herring who jobs in order to set up a conflict outside of the tournament.
This song needs more love.
Heh yeah that's the reason why.
As you can see by my page I got pretty hyped for him.
Though it was more for excitement over the assumption that Goku was gonna be facing off against Japanese Superman with all that entails such as a fitting personality.
I feel rather embarrassed now.
"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."I think there's still plenty of time to give Jiren personality.
This special is only the beginning of climax, not actually the grande finale itself. At least, that's what I think what's happening. We'll still have episodes after the special. I think Goku vs Jiren get spread out 4 to 5 episodes. With other minor fights happening until those two are the only ones left.
Fix'd
See the above quote, he is just there to make Goku look better by comparison.

"Mai waifu."
I think that's been extended ever since the in-series change of power level metaphor used by Whis (see comparing Goku and Beerus to trees).
Also didn't it take a while before people got a better grasp of Hit's personality? I'd expect the same to happen to Jiren. Personally, I keep on hearing Kenshiro due to his VA. >_>

I kinda hoped for him to be an epic superhero.
Like a more serious Superman.
