[up][up][up] Except that the anime showed that Jiren is there to fight strong opponents, and has no interest in the tournament outside of finding a worthy opponent. He's not a no-nonsense character at all because he's been sitting on his ass for most of this when he should have been trying to eliminate everyone from the start if he wanted to save his universe above all else.

Manga Jiren doesn't want to save his universe above all else. He was not willing to participate because it would mean sacrificing other universes. He doesn't even kill villains, and was only baited because he has a wish that is important enough for him to betray said principles.

...Fair enough.

Still a cool fight though. I'm just now realizing that I don't care about excusing Jiren. If he churns out more battles like that, he can have all the personality of cardboard...or even less if that's possible.

We at least Manga-Jiren appears to be cooler.

I wonder what his wish is.

Oh Lord, how long before the "Jiren is the true hero" meme starts?

In more depressing news, Hiromi tsuru, the voice actor for Bulma, was found dead inside her car today.

Its not a good week for Dragon Ball VA's...

You know what makes this worse, Bulma's last lines were saying goodbye to everyone before the TOP starts.

...yeah, that does make it worse.

She can't have recorded much else before her death since the tournament runs until March.

So that really probably is the last time we'll hear her.sad

I'm sorry to hear that. Did she have a history of illness?

Well shit. I mean, at least he's not dead... But I'm not sure about how all that works about qualifying for an organ transplant and stuff.

Well, time to play the guessing game on who is going to replace Tsuru.

Ha ha ha. What a story, Mark.

I wonder if they'll actually write Bulma out somehow? I've heard voice actors aren't commonly replaced in Japan - it's why Nozawa is still Goku despite how unsuited she is to voicing a grown man.
