Goku will always find a way to go even further beyond.

hahaha, god damn

Kuririn: As he is, he can withstand a Kaio-ken x20!

No, he's already using Kaio-ken x20

Literally the Freeza fight.

And then Kuririn repeats the exact same thing he said in Movie 7 about the genki dama. My god, the repetition is real.

Vegeta's less helpful than Freeza.[lol]

That's weird, for honest.

What did he say about the bomb?

Goku can't use it in Super Saiyan because he's malicious, etc.

Animation was much better for these two episodes. Fights were pretty well choreographed. Jiren is okay, but I still think he's Hit's stoicness taken too far.

The Kaioshin acknowledged that Jiren's power is beyond normal training, so we might get some explanation on what makes him so special and it'd be good to get something about him. I'm also not sure if Jiren was doing the "I was holding back" after all, or if Goku's power just ran out a second too early.

I'm not sure how the rest of the arc can go from here and have a climax that feels more climactic than that, though.

I have to say that was the first time I've enjoyed Dragon ball BGM in an episode or movie since the Yamamoto score. tongue Solid two episodes, definitely amongst the better DBS episodes.

[up][up] He never said he was and I'm not seeing anything that actually implies as much, so it just seems that the new form ran out before it could finish things. Especially since Jiren just caught him and said that he's at his limit, not that Jiren is still stronger.

That fight was awesome! Plus the fact it was placed here instead of the climax of the arc actually has me in more suspense for what comes next.

I'm still betting on the full OP alluding to Gohan at the end of the tournament. Goku's going to re-gain his new form, fight Jiren again, and Goku's either going to lose or they're going to ko each other. The final battle is either going to be Gohan vs Jiren or Gohan vs Toppo, and Gohan's going to achieve Ultra Instinct during it.

I meant that's what the creators said about these episodes, so it's kinda weird we're still dragging our feet..

But yea, something tells me it's going to take the entirety of Universe 7 going down one by one to beat Jiren...wearing him down basically.

I also loved Ribrianne hitting on Jiren. It was funny and cute.

It was annoying how she wouldn't shut up after entering her super-mode though.

Seriously is she supposed to be a hero? She's a magical girl right? Don't they ever shut up during a fight?

Holy fuck, Goku's battle with Jiren in his new form already attained over a million views of You Tube.

The videos literally less than a day old. Goddamn are people hyped for this.

Scratch that. Two videos of the transformation have already attained over a million views.

Okay, I have to admit, this special 100% delivered on the hype. It was glorious. Jiren is a beast among beast, and he's indeed the mortal stronger than Gods of Destruction.

And Goku's Ultra Instinct form.... amazing. I loved how they presented his movements being on another level. This is the performance we all expected from God, and Blue but never got.

Also, contrary to what people been saying here, Jiren was not holding back on Goku, the letter simply run out of the Spirit Bomb stamina boost and reverted back to base. But since he broke through his limits once I expect him to regain the form shortly.

This special was without doubt the best part of this arc.... scratch that it's the best Super has ever been. They really pulled out all the stops.

Ok even a video titled "HIT SAVES GOKU" which is literally just the end of the fight attained a million views.

There is so much hype for this.

[up][up] I'm not surprised given that this episode literally broke all the streaming sites.

I absolutely love how Ultra Instinct Goku is triggered. Just that explanation it's not a matter of absorbing the spirit bomb, but more how he survived that implosion while pushed to the brink and so on. Plus the way it's described what he achieved reminds me of flow.

Jiren should punch Ribrianne out of the tournament.

Ha ha ha. What a story, Mark.

So I went ahead and watched the episodes. Hot damn, they were so good. This is the levels of hype that the ToP should have been at from the beginning. Mastery of Self-Movement just might be my favorite powerup from anything.

See? I knew the Tournament of Power arc would rock my dick off eventually. Just had to be patient.

I only kinda-sorta understood the explanation behind Ultra Instinct mode or whatever it was called, but I loved the way Goku was animated in that form.
