Nevermind, it seems that Psycho Escape is just a win condition drop, not an enemy drop like the mission's other skill.

Would be real nice if the game specified which random drops are from just winning and which are from specific conditions, but I guess you just gotta be as unintuitive as possible in your game design.

Though I don't know how improved the RNG is. It took me nearly 20 Ultimate Finishes on one mission just to get it to drop Kaioken. If that's an improvement I shudder to imagine what the original was like.

That's definitely unusual. I've had trouble getting some clothing parts, but I don't remember struggling with particular skills compared to the first one.

I guess I'm just having a shitty time with the RNG, then. Given my track record with the RNG in other video games, it's almost enough to make me believe in luck.

At least I have good ol' Omega Shenron to accompany me on my item drop grinding now. Kinda wish he was available as a mentor, but I don't think I'm ready for a lecture on the intricacies of negative energy.

The thing about RNG is that it's entirely luck based. Something could have a 99% drop rate and you still fail to get it 20 times in a row.

Oh right. Next week is the hour long DBZ special as well.

I look forward to watching Jiren do a relaxing dance all over Goku's face.

Tournament of Power, also known as Jiren wins by doing absolutely nothing. Well, until recently.

Ha ha ha. What a story, Mark.

Eh, most of these guys have been shat on already.

Roshi, Krillin and Tien should consider themselves lucky they got kicked out already. Jiren would fodder them so hard I don't even think we'd be able to laugh at it. Just kinda shrug and go yeah, more or less how I expected it to go.

Jiren would probably reduce them to gibs with one punch, then get DQ'd for killing.

Jiren's going to suddenly develop anime sickness and die before he wins.

Oh crap it does look like he's absorbing the Spirit Bomb.

How weird. He's in base when he throws it there, but doesn't another preview show him in Super Saiyan Blue while preparing it?

Seems to be either he's accidently absorbing it, or he's somehow compressing the Kaioken Blue into his body like the manga did with Complete Super Saiyan Blue.

Looks like he throws it in base, then Jiren pushes it back, Goku goes Blue Kaioken to push, Jiren wins, big explosion, and Goku's new form is triggered in the explosion. Also, he does not have cat pupals, that was just the shines in his eyes combined with his lowered eyelids. I liked the shots of Goku using Blue Kaioken hitting Jiren while Jiren is clearly barely feeling it.

#65197: Sep 30th 2017 at 10:34:10 PM

Still very hard to tell, but I think he's showing signs of transforming before being overwhelmed by the Spirit Bomb (if that's what's happening) so it might not be directly related to the Spirit Bomb (as in, created from its power or whatever) but just happens because he's in sufficient danger to warrant it.

edit: Ah, I went back and saw the old preview. It wasn't while he was preparing it, but it showed him in Blue Kaio-ken immediately after throwing the Spirit Bomb. If he throws it in base, it's weird for him to transform before it even hits Jiren.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. It looks more like he's transforming while it's happening or as a response to it happening rather than taking the power from the Spirit Bomb itself.

I wonder if we'll actually get an explanation for his new form during the Special, or if they keep it a mystery for a few episodes. It could be the latter if Goku's new transformation is something even he was unaware of.

Hard to say. God was an entirely new concept and was explained, Blue and Kaio-ken got explained for being so simple (both just needed a sentence or two and were about using old techniques anyway).

I feel like this would take more of an explanation than those, since we don't know what this is building off and the visual doesn't obviously lend itself to anything. It's the kind of thing I could see Whis or the Grand Priest narrating an explanation for.

I keep imagining the Special is going to go like this: Goku fights Ribrianne and goes to Blue against her. Jiren eliminates Ribrianne out of nowhere and Vermoud tells him to take out Son Goku telepathically. Goku and Jiren fight, Goku using Blue Kaiokenx20. Goku loses. Goku uses the Spirit Bomb, taking energy from everyone present, including the spectators. Jiren pushes back the Spirit Bomb and it looks like it hits Goku.

Goku transforms to his new form and completely destroys the Spirit Bomb just with the transformation itself. No-one has any idea what this new power is, but it's clearly monstrous. Goku overpowers Jiren using it and someone comments that he now rivals Beerus. Goku's new form makes him a more merciless fighter and his reputation is set in stone as the most powerful mortal villain the omni-verse has ever seen. Goku beats down Jiren and then suddenly detransforms. Jiren is now heavily wounded and Goku is exhausted and confused, his memory of his new form hazy.

I feel like the special will end with both Goku and Jiren injured and weakened with the question of what Goku's new power was hanging over everyone's heads as the tournament continues.
