Kanzenshuu should eventually update this list with the ratings, though it's quite far behind right now.

[up] Baby Black.

That overly long list of Saiyan powerups has reinforced my belief that Namekians need more powerups. tongue

I really doubt that, given that every legal streaming service crashed at the sheer amount of traffic they received during that special.

A lot of people here liked the special though?

I don't think anyone has had anything other than kind words for the special.

[up][up] I mean rating wise in Japan not streaming over here.

@Saiga: I'unno, that sounds more like it's just Baby hijacking Goku Black's body, rather than an actual fusion.

Plus I want the name "Vegito" in there, since it's still technically a Potara fusion of Goku and Vegeta.

Despite having one of the best episodes of Super, the ratings tv wise were abismal. Nothing to be worried about, though, since the streaming was intense.

I love that guy videos, and the alliance between Black and Baby, while illogical to an extent, was pretty enjoyable. I dig what happened to Broly, actually, and gave a nice justification on WHY Broly was not with the Hell Fighters on the Janemba and Super 17 events.

Also, long time without commenting. Did I miss something?

To be fair, Toei for some reason has been airing Kamen Rider and Super Sentai during the same timeslots of One Piece and DBS on a different channel.

It's like they want their shows to cannibalize each other...

Also, I wonder what powerlevel Baby Vegetto Black would have.

[up][nja]'d

Amine Ajay explained the rating situation the best: poor scheduling caused all of Toei's shows last Saturday (Kamen Rider, for instance) to cannibalize each other for same-day viewership. It's not even Toei's fault here, but the networks themselves. Same thing happened to the One Piece special, which later turned out bigger numbers on DVR.

This is no different from the US's current situation regarding the Nielson ratings system and broadcast/cable television, where numbers are fluctuating downward due to shifting trends.

Ah, I've found the ratings. It had a 3.5 share, so yeah, that is abysmal.

On the Broly v Baby Vegetto Black video - the animation is impressive, nice to see them use the Baby Vegetto Black concept. Pretty illogical and the dialogue/writing is pretty weak but that was fun for what it was.

It also took a massive amount of time apparently for him to do this, since the SS4 Gogeta vs SSB Vegito video before this one was put up seven months ago.

[up][up] Oh yeah right.

The criticism is primarily directed at Jiren's lack of character (hopefully) at the moment.

[up]x3 Jiren is more of a Base-Breaking Character at the moment. Based on my experiences, I've seen people simply praised him for chill demeanor and extreme power, while others are still convinced that he's diet Hit/Pikkon.

I've seen more universal complaints about Vegeta's reluctance in forming the Spirit Bomb, the Bomb's requirements, and Ribrianne's presence (didn't mind her myself) by comparison.

And I think some people took Goku's nonchalant response to Ribrianne about what his wish might be, ranging from doing something nice for the Son household or finding a stronger opponent, in the wrong way.

There are some that felt underwhelmed or didn't like it all, but well, you can't please everyone, I guess.

I felt like the animation was a little sloppy in some parts of 110, but overall it was good.

Jiren had always been another strong guy for Goku to fight but he does need a personality and a character. You could even say a similar thing about Hit.

Seriously we need fucking variety. He can't just be another strong guy, there has to be something to him or these rivals become basically interchangeable. He's need more personality traits than just stoic, being strong & looking for a worthy opponent.

I know I've said this a million times but the guys a genuine superhero, it should not be that hard to write a legitimately interesting personality & motivation for him.

Well, Hit needed to fight with Goku to show his personality (which was of a serious guy with an honor sense). Jiren would need the same, but I do agree he needs some variety.

For one, I'll admit i'm getting tired of Ribrianne. At first she was fine, but then she revealed she wanted to become a goddess with the Super Dragon Balls, with make me downright dislike her for how selfish she is. Maybe i'm being one-sided, since Goku is no any better.
