Yeah, that was weird. Keeping them secret for so long, only for their actual introductions to be a complete anti-climax.

Were they supposed to?

Well they are members of Universe 6, the most prominent alternate universe, and the same species as Piccolo, a major(ish) member of the cast. You'd think there'd at least be some stock "whoa hey, check out those guys, they're namekians from an alternate universe. Cool!" dialogue like the reactions Cabba and Frost got on their introductions. Jimeze being a Yardrat has gotten infinitely more focus in this arc.

It's not like Namekians are a rare species like Saiyans or Frieza race.

We even had the opposite, where Saoneru and Pirina were surprised at Piccolo being a Namekian.

Well, Blue's not that far off from Saiyan Beyond God, and she was utterly unharmed by Goku's Blue kick.

You are reaching hard right now. You know how many opponents have been "unharmed" by SSB Goku's blows? It happens a lot in Dragon Ball Super.

And she was knocked away like nothing all the same. It's not like she tanked it or anything.

She was batted away like nothing, and she was batted hard enough it dropped her super form. She wasn't any challenge for Goku at all.

Yeah, Ribrianne wasn't too much of a match against Goku in base at all. At best, she's probably as powerful as a Buu-era Super Saiyan 2... Which doesn't mean much post Resurrection F.

If Beerus and Champa fused, how would that affect their life link? Do you have to kill Fuwa or Shin to off Champerus?

[up] Now that is a conundrum. I'm not sure honestly.

Also holy crap I just realized something. Jiren is an unstoppable threat solely defined by his power with barely any actual personality traits. He's not Superman, he's fucking Doomsday masquerading as Superman. He's an unstoppable force of nature designed to just be a strong opponent just like Doomsday. Ya know if this was on purpose it actually be kinda genius.

At this point all he needs to do is give Goku a Disney Death. tongue

The Hit vs Jiren fight was good, and even tough Jiren shut down all of Hit techniques, it was still a pretty good showing for the letter. And from what they said, Goku and Hit were the two strongest non-Jiren competiors, and everyone else can be taken care of by Toppo and Dyspo.

Also I liked Hit giving his team prep talk and putting his faith in the young sayians. What a guy!

Ribrianne got beaten by Base Vegeta.... which is not surprising in the least.

Jiren biggest mistake was not taking Goku out when he had the chance. He'll come to regret it in the future.

The next two episode will be about U6 sayins, I can't wait!

Maybe Piccolo should force a fusion with these Namekians so that he can finally close the power gap. tongue

[up][up] You want to know a weird thought I sometimes have?

Hypothetically - and I'm not saying this could realistically ever happen, but hypothetically, if Moori heard ahead of time that Freeza was coming to ravage his village, and he decided to fuse with every other Namekian in the village just as an emergency measure, do you think he'd be able to take Freeza?

You know Jiren being Superman is reach at best. Him being Doomsday actually makes more sense because he's fighting Superman aka Goku. :P

If anything those Namekians would probably fuse with each other once Gohan and Piccolo start outclassing them.

It's not like Namekians are a rare species like Saiyans or Frieza race.

Yes they are. They're not a functionally extinct species like the Saiyans are, but there are still only like a hundred or so of them left in Universe 7 last we checked.

We have no idea about in Univese 6 though, because Saiyan history is obviously pretty different there, so Namekian history might very well be so as well.

[up][up]That depends. How do we know they aren't Super Namekians themselves?

Remember, the Nameks were supposed to be pretty powerful once upon a time, and it was only due to a natural disaster that they were nearly wiped out and left with few warrior types.

Nail said that the Nameless Namek that once composed Kami and Piccolo could have taken Frieza (though he said that without knowing about the tyrants transformations), and when they did fuse, they were more powerful than a Super Saiyan (though that was after Piccolo'd fused with Nail and trained for three years, and we already know he's an outlier).

I'm just saying, there's a possibility that these guys could be very powerful already, especially if they have avoided the problems that the Universe 7 Namekians had.

Edit: What [up] said.

I wouldn't expect much of U6 Namekians, seeing as Hit was putting all his faith in the Sayians instead. [lol]

They'll probably are there to give Piccolo and Gohan someone to fight.

[up][up][up]I meant for the audience. We have only ever seen a handful of Saiyans and Frieza race (they really need a name) in the present day but we've seen a ton of Namekians.

Most of whom have never done anything important, at least not combat wise. Even then saying "a ton" is still a pretty big exaggeration.

Also, I really liked how Champa praised Hit for his hard work instead of whining like he usually does.
