[up][up][up] I mean, did you honestly expect anything from those characters? I forgot about them until they were mentioned.

I feel like they should have had Paparoni in Nigarishi's spot given that he is the actual leader and controller of the team.

I suspect Universe 3 getting owned initially is a Red Herring so we are genuinely surprised when they turn things around and perform much better. They do have six members left

I don't think the treatment of Universe I Can't Be Assed To Remember Their Number was unbalanced or underwhelming. It was appropriate to their relevancy and ability to be characterized.

I was disappointed because I thought Nigrisshi had a pretty nice design.

[up][up]I don't think so. They were using him to suss out Jiren's power since they still had a bunch of fighters left.

Its still sad cause they had a pretty cool aesthetic.

Can't ever go wrong with robots & genetic engineering.

Yeah, Universe 3 doesn't really have anything going for it right now. Universe 6 has Champa, Hit, Saiyans, Namekians, Universe 11 has the final boss trio, Universe 2 has Ribrianne, Universe 4 has the invisible fighters, Quitela's rivalry with Beerus, (a possible secret final boss?). Universe 3 doesn't really have any of the hype or focus the others have gotten It's the Tien of universes.

[up][up] Don't they, though? I love the whole robot motif they have going. That, and their supreme kai is downright Adorkable.

The only universes really worth caring about are Universes 6, 7, and 11.

Even Universe 2 are kind of fodder, and I'm wondering why Ribirane is still around despite that...

[up] But the show still expects us to feel something when those other universes get erased.

And to be honest, I do. Just because they're not vital to the plot doesn't mean I can't find them endearing.

I found u 9 interesting from the tournament but LOL that didnt last

Honestly, it's just 6-7-11 at this point. And when I say 6, I mean Hit. Cabba's done fuck all, Kale and Caulifa have been pretty boring with the screentime received, the Namekians haven't even appeared yet.

I'm just not that interested in characters who have not even shown up.

[up][up], [up] I may have mentioned this before, but I'm actually writing a fanfic about the Trio de Dangers finding and recruiting the six other fighters for their team. So far I have two chapters done.

Ribrianne is a pest who's basically a massive roadblock for Goku.

Ribrianne is goddamn beautiful and I hope she lasts to the end of the tournament. U3 still has those robot fighters left who might be able to combine into a giant mecha, and they have to be doing something right to still be around after this long.

I genuinely connected with Universe 9 and 10 and I felt some real sadness when they were erased. The character writing for the U9 fighters was some of the best I've seen, giving them all clear and fun personalities with only a single episode of screentime. The part that really got me was the Trio De Dangers talking about how they had to work together as brothers to survive the shit-hole that is U9, which completely contextualized the whole team for me. U9 was the slums universe, and the U9 fighters were good people from a really bad universe.

[up] I felt bad about Universe 10, but it was mainly because of Gowasu. I wonder what Universe 3 characters would combine into this mecha. Catopesra is organic as seen with his Godtube pic, so is Paparoni. So at most it would have to be combining with Biarra, Borareta, Koitsuki and Pancea.

Ea's description states he takes quite a bit of influence from machine-loving mortals. I think one of the primary reasons Universe 3 is under Zeno's desired ranking is because Ea isn't impartial, kind of like how Gowasu is too passive.

Ya know Pushover, sometimes I think you like being contrarian just for the sake of being different. That's just me though.

Universe 3 is pretty irrelevant and just there to pad out the numbers.

Universe 10 was full of assholes so I'm glad they got wiped.

Same with Universe 9.

Ribrianne whole shtick is that she's a loudmouth thug masquerading as a magical girl. Also yes, she's kind of a pest at this point.

[up][up] Or maybe he just likes liking things. I know I do.

(For the record, I also like Ribrianne.)

[up] Who on Universe 10 was an asshole aside from Napapa and Methiop, though?
