At least Cabba actually exists, unlike Tarble.

Or Frost, or Zamasu...

I find it weird that, judging by the episode summaries, Jiren beats Goku up despite his new form then just... leaves him alone after crushing him?

[up]From what I understood it's even weirder than that Goku transforms, and Jiren goes to fight other people while Goku tries to get the hang of his new form.

No see, Jiren knows that any new form eats through Stamina like candy. Goku will be exhausted by then

What Jiren didn't predict is that Goku will recharge himself by pounding Caulifla and Kale, and come back into the fight harder than ever.

Well, the descriptions are still great at making situations hard to decipher, or flat out lie for the better. wink

[up]x2: Herms' translation leaves the possibility that Hit is covering for Goku while he recovers, thus continuing this pseudo U7/U6 alliance.

Speaking of, apparently, Goku's so strained that he's temporarily stuck in Base Form, and he's using his sparring battle against Caulifla and Kale as a stamina-recovering catalyst, and "training" them to take down stronger opponents. Just wondering, has Goku exhausted his chances of getting a Zenkai boost at this point?

The aforementioned Saiyan spat sounds like it's going to be interrupted (But....) by "the explosive super warrior", and I bargain it's Damon.

Nice to see Cabba's getting his return (whoops, may have jumped too early myself), and with Vegeta no less. Interested to see Monna's Lightning Bruiser fighting style against Cabba, who's implied to be unintentionally holding back.

Eh, here's this Jiren pic, by Detective X, for you Slim.

I mean, none of the characters in this now are even human, barring Gohan being half human. Why exactly should any of them be acting like reasonable humans at all?

It can. Japanese is a lot less restrictive of the word than English is.

It's not so much that Japanese is less restrictive as it is that English and Japanese words almost never match up 1-to-1.

Huh, so apparently Xenoverse 2 had Burter reveal that he puts weights on his battle jacket in order to hone his speed.

Also, apparently Buu's Fury had weighted clothing you could put on your characters to increase experience gain at the cost of speed. The starting versions are 1 Ton Boots and 1 Ton Armbands, but eventually you can get Kiloton Boots and Kiloton Armbands; a kiloton, I will note, is the equivalent of around 1100 short tons, or normal tons to us Americans. So either the sets are one kiloton each, or each individual article of clothing is a kiloton in mass. That's around 2200-4400 tons on one person, and that would only increase if one would say, go into Vegeta's gravity chamber and set it to 300 times normal gravity.

You say that, yet Vegeta was also struggling with that much gravity as well, hell he nearly killed himself when he did so at one point.

Plus, you know, normal humans can only withstand up to 10 times normal gravity, as any more and our own weight would crush us to death.

In his defense he went way above what he could handle. Goku had trouble with x100 gravity so he had to start small, same with Vegeta.

Yamcha underestimated how powerful gravity is.
