Goku was 15 at the 22nd Budoukai. Still young but about the age of your standard shounen protagonist these days.

Tru tru, but they way Tien was fighting Goku was still pretty fucked up. Like, he was bleeding and bruised and the audience was frightened and all that stuff. Nearly killed him despite being a tournament fight.

If he hadn't had quit Crane School, who knows how sick in the head Tien might have gotten.

Also, Jimmies is gonna rustle a lot of Gohan fans in a few weeks...

Some more spoilers about episode 109

32 fighters will be left in that episode. Right now there are 36 fighters on the arena, meaning that in the next 2 episodes we will only only lose 4. Universe 6 won't lose any of its members. All 8 of will survive till that episode for sure. As all the Universes began to come up with a strategy, Beerus notices that the number of people in U4 are Strange!

Apparently, Toei's brought in a bunch of super high-profile animators for the special and a few of them are even going to stay and work on Dragon Ball Super after the special.

And One Punch Man's animation will start looking like crap when that happens.

Yeah. My thoughts as well.

So depending on how long that takes (and we're still a bit a ways from it), I could picture those dudes lending their unique brand of awesome to Super for a bit.

Considering how the animation has lacked any flair, Super needs that awesome.

According to this week's Jump, Goku tried to help Roshi and Vegeta in the next episode, but Ribrianne stops him. I'm guessing this fight will go on for a few episodes since the same match-up was mentioned in 109.

But more interestingly, more info on the 1-hour long special surfaced... Goku tried out Blue Kaioken x20 on Jiren, but it has no effect on him. After all power is exhausted, Goku has to do an ace-in-the-hole technique!? Something will break his limits...

Man those two episode until we get to special are gonna be a torture.

So Goku and Ribrianne are going to be fighting for 2-3 episodes, same as Gohan fighting Jimmies? Sounds like the upcoming episodes are part Frost and Freeza and part U2 breaking out all the stops. Can't wait!

Also, apparently we're getting a new ending theme as of the special.

Man, Jiren is a fucking beast if Blue Kaioken x20 doesn't even work. And that means the Goku's new form must be a beast as well.

Indeed. I didn't expect otherwise, but I don't think I'm a fan of such a level of escalation. I don't like Blue Kaio-ken already for that reason, but it looks worse with this.

Toei has no concept of power scaling and Blue Kaioken just makes it more apparent. Felt that way since the Champa arc.

Let's see how the manga handles the minute details of the Tournament of Power.

#63795: Sep 7th 2017 at 3:49:44 AM

I'm going to guess that Full Power Blue just replaces Kaio-ken x20. It's too new to have something else appear between it and the new form, and unlike Kaio-ken x10 -> x20 there's no obvious upgrade to it. I think that Goku simply won't use Blue during earlier parts in the tournament, maybe using God instead.

That at least explains why the Pride Troopers were so confident even after going down to three people. If Jiren can overpower Blue Kaioken x20, then he could easily solo the whole tournament if it wasn't for Goku's new form.

You know, if Beerus is supposed to be as strong as Blue Vegetto, than the difference between him and Blue Goku is something like 30 times. Under that logic, KKx10 Blue Goku still being weaker than Beerus is perfectly consistent, even if the idea that Beerus was getting excited about a fight with someone over 30 times weaker than him in Battle of Gods is flat-out ridiculous.

Wait where did you get either of those assumptions from?

So Goku fights a purple alien that's capable of stopping Kaioken x20, which forces Goku to use an ace in the whole.

Where have I heard that before...
