[up] Pretty much most of the cast is selfish on some level so I don't see why Ribrianne is an exception.

Complaining about the characters being selfish seems odd to me. What were you expecting these characters to try and do with this wish?

I found Ribrianne's wish stupid, but I think it goes beyond simply being selfish.

[up][up] Because most of the cast doesn't claim to be a "warrior of love" or whatever. Her claims of valuing love above everything seem pretty disingenuous when her wish only involves making herself more powerful.

The whole joke with Ribrianne is that she has all the bells and whistles of a Magical Girl, but is actually a awful person. Her narcissistic wish is just an extension of that.

Well, Ribrianne's introduction had her kill two people for questioning her beauty, so she's kinda always been full of shit.

I feel like this just isn't the show where people are genuinely heroic and taken seriously. Even the Pride Troopers are starting to move away from that, getting serious about just surviving.

I wouldn't say Hit has no personality. He's incredibly stoic for the most part, but things like throwing the fight to Monaka or calling off his hit on Goku when his family showed up are good indicator of his character and values.

I'm still waiting for Jiren to punch Ribrianne's lights out. Jiren will most likely shake off his base breaker status if he does that.

Ha ha ha. What a story, Mark.

wild mass guess Hit ends up killing Jiren and is thus disqualified, and Universe 7 ends up winning and wishing for all the Universes to be restored, in part so Goku can have a rematch with Jiren. wild mass guess

I like Hit, in the way he is calm, collected and professional, but you can see through a little crack he is enjoying what he is doing after who knows how long.

It seems like there are no 'true' heroes in this arc even Goku (the guy we are suppose to be rooting for) seems more like a designated hero who only looks better by comparison to everyone else.

I mean, why would there be "heroes" here? I don't even think Goku is supposed to be seen as a hero, just doing what he normally does, in an even shittier situation than usual.

[up][up] Perhaps but it seems like they want to still root for Goku even though has increased in selfishness.

Yeah. If Toriyama really wanted to insert some poison into his character, than he succeeded.

We'll see how he acts in the manga though. Maybe's he much more concerned about the situation there.

Let's clear something up. Zalama, the creator of the Super Dragon Balls, and "Super Shenron", the unthinkably colossal golden dragon that comes out of them to grant the wish, are one and the same entity. Zalama created and patented the Super Dragon Balls so that other people could use them to summon him whenever his power was needed.

There isn't some other entity named Zalama out there who created the Super Dragon Balls and Super Shenron, because Super Shenron created the Super Dragon Balls and is named Zalama.

The filthy Nameks broke off a tiny chunk of one of them and stole his patented design to make inferior and much smaller copies.

Welp. Hit's gone and Goku's still down. So Jiren decides to fuck off for a while lol.

Yeah, Hit gave it as good as he could, but Jiren's too darned OP. That said, the volume was way too low on the stream for me to hear the reason Dyspo gave for Jiren suddenly needing to meditate after his fight with Hit.

Goku's tired and Hit is out. Everyone else should be easy enough for Toppo and Dyspo to handle, so he's not going to bother. I guess he really is just in it for a good fight with someone he deems worthy.
