Grand Priest is seriously the most shifty character who isn't an obvious antagonist in Dragon Ball.

He's an actual mystery, I'll admit. A much better one than the identity of Goku Black.

So that's what that video is about.

If that was the case, it'd be pretty cool. I don't think Toriyama has ever done possession.

By the way, the Tournament of Power is 48 minutes long, not 42 minutes.

In that case maybe his rewind power has a limit of 50 minutes, and the remaining two minutes are to account for all the post-battle tintinnabulations and nonsense.

Or he's just evil and has no intention of resetting the universes, and the number is arbitrary.

I'm also curious as to who the others on the "top five strongest in the multiverse" list are. Even if Zeno himself and his two bodyguards are three of them, there's still one unaccounted for.

Yeah, the mystery around what the Grand Priest's deal is is fucking amazing. I'm so curious what his stake in this is, if he even has one beyond the obvious. In one episode he's just being generally calm and exposition-heavy, in another he's giving one of the scariest death glares this series has ever had just to shut someone up, in another he's caught off-guard and is interested in figuring Ultra Instinct out, and in another episode he's smiling like a goddamn supervillain at universal annihilation.

The best part about trying to figure out the Grand Priest's deal is that there's not enough evidence yet to determine whether or not he even has a deal. There's some evidence that he's got ulterior motives, but there's not enough to say what those motives could be or even enough to say that he does has ulterior motives. He's being presented so matter-of-factly in most episodes that I almost feel paranoid thinking that there's actually something darker beneath the surface, and I love it.

The grand priest has one plan:

To punch Super Shenron right in the dragon balls.

The greatest prank in all of existence. Nobody would be able to top him.

You gotta admit, it's diabolical.

I think the strongest fighters in the multiverse are the Grand Priest, Zarama, one of the gods of destruction, a future Arc Villain and some mystery mortal who could one-shot Jiren

What even counts as an individual winning in the tournament? We know a universe with the most fighters at the end wins, but who out of that gets the wish if there's more than one left? We haven't gotten that answer despite more than half the tournament being over with. Personally, I think the one who has the most eliminations should be the victor. Right now that'd be Vegeta, who I honestly think might finally win this time around. He has the most motivation shown, both his Papa Wolf instincts and promise to see Planet Sadal one day.

I refuse to believe Toriyama will let Vegeta win.

Lately, if he can avoid it, it seems like none the heroes actually beat the villain.

Look at Goku's record post 23rd Budokai. It's especially pronounced in Super. He's defeated even less villains here than in Z.

With the exception, once again, of Frieza, who he did more or less beat (even if it was a Victory by Endurance...which is kinda what he did last time too, but there he'd have won even if Frieza didn't run out of gas).

[up][up][up] Thing is I have a feeling the best fighter will be chosen for who had the coolest fight not the most eliminations.

I think the former is what the Zenos would care more about so it would be Jiren who wins the honor.

My biggest wishes are for him to get better. Chris coming back would tinge Freeza's return with a heartwarming touch, and his voice would do the fantastic current writing for the character a great service.

New news:

  • Fighterz is adding Gotenks, Teen/Adult Gohan, and Kid Buu.

  • Two sets of new toys. The first is a set of small figures, which are a mystery character, Blue Vegeta, base Vegeta, Jiren, ToP 17, Gogeta, and Janemba. The second is three posable figures, which are base Vegetto, a mystery character, and Ultimate Gohan. No idea who these mystery figures are, could be Ultra Instinct Goku, could be Kafla, could be an unrevealed character or someone yet to be important in the Tournament of Power, like Damon.

  • 117 spoilers: Goku is worn out from fighting and Ribrianne targets him. 18 saves him and fights her while 17 fights Rozie. It's yet again mentioned that the Kamikaze Fireballs are the strongest fighters in U2. Meanwhile, Vegeta tries getting Ultra Instinct by acting unconsciously, but he fails and Katopesla attacks him.

Changed my avatar. Figured I'd had the baseball Yamcha one for a while now and it needed a change, so I went for the same type of image as some of my older avatars.

Here's a link to the artist.
