[up][up][up] I thought the only reason the mafuba failed against Zamasu was because they forgot the seal.

The gap between Roshi and Zamasu is way larger than the gap between him and Frost, Magetta, or Dercori. Also, I don't think I remember that bit from the anime. Roshi has been the best part of the Tournament of Power so far.

I can accept the fish girl, because she didn't seem all that powerful to begin with.

But using it on Frost is hilariously silly. Then he tries it again, and somehow manages to seal SSJ Vegeta. Sure, Frost redirected it...but still.

Nah, Roshi episodes been the highlight of the arc.

On today's episode:

Man, Gohan got beaten up like a scrub by Jimez. And the Freeza came and smacked him down. Git Gud Gohan.

It's kinda weird how Freeza is suddenly the more cunning than Frost, when up until now it was the other way around.

Frost getting erased was unexpected.

Meanwhile Goku is just messing around instead of fighting seriously.

Tried to attack Freeza after getting eliminated. Zeno took offense to that and erased his ass.

Looks like this episode confirms the existence of Saiyan Beyond God without a shadow of a doubt, from Goku fighting Ribrianne (who we know is close to 17) in what looks like base starting with a big white aura (and we know that she's supposed to be impressively powerful, given the exempt universes theorizing that U2 could win just based on her), to base Gohan, Jimmies, and Frost all getting curbstomped by Final Form Freeza, despite Jimmies being stronger than base Gohan and Frost being close to Super Saiyan Vegeta in power.

Real good episode Freeza is a duplicitous shit whom nobody should ever trust with anything ever. The U7 bench theorizes that Freeza's final goal may be to murder the gods with his wish on the Super Dragon Balls. Frost got erased from existence. 100% form looks weird. Jimmies got done dirty.

So nobody thinks the universes Zeno erased will stay that way, right? That'd be a level of dark this franchise just doesn't do.

I should get a clip of Frost getting erased, and put this over it.

Many authors have a disturbing habit of thinking that if a universe isn't the one the heroes live in, that means it shouldn't matter if it gets destroyed.

[up] Well, it's not like these are all nameless masses getting destroyed, either. The Kais, the Destroyers, the guy with the Fatal Family Photo... if U6 gets erased that'll probably weigh on people.

I also see just letting the Zenos and the Priest get away with doing this because "They're stronger than us, what can you do?" would be massively cynical by this franchise's standards.

Never trust Freeza, even when you're basically also Freeza. Didn't call Frost getting erased like that though. And I did legitimately think that Freeza would team up with Frost long enough to try to take out the Saiyans before betraying him.

So, is next week the big double feature now that Jiren's entering the fight?

What an utter waste. Especially for a character whose entire schtick is that they're a master manipulator.

[up][up]Yes, and if the title of two of the episodes after the special say something, it is possible that Goku might get eliminated.

I'm also a little surprised Frost got played by Frieza. I mean, between the two of them, he seemed like the more subtle one. Frieza never bothered with such shit because he was so much stronger than everyone else until Goku came along that he could just steam-roll anyone who had a beef with him.

Also, they didn't fuck around with Frost eh? Not even a warning, they just erased him on the spot. Good thing they didn't toss the entire universe in the same pit as well.

And Cabba just gets bodied by Toppo. How the mighty have fallen...not that they aren't waifu bait.sad

So I've been wondering, why offer the super dragon balls as a prize? I mean in universe not the meta reason of just making them relevant to the arcs.

Shouldn't Zen'o be able to grant any wish himself? The only reasons I really buy are deity standards (don't sully yourself with the mortals when we have these) or the super dragon balls can go beyond the power of Zen'o. Which would set up for them being used to remove them from power.

Anyone else wonder bout this?

Why would Zen-Oh be able to grant wishes? All we've ever seen him do is be capable of erasing anything and everything.

Obviously we don't know this, but I assumed as lord of all he possesed the power of creation in addition to destruction.

Nope.

Only Genesic Gaogaigar has the power of destruction and creation in both hands.
