Actually, Ginyu does appear to be pretty slow. He says that Burter is the fastest in the universe, and he mentions that he really like Goku's body because of how fast it is, despite only tapping into a tiny fraction of Goku's power. It is possible that Burter is faster than Ginyu.

No it was 17 and 18. Piccolo had nothing to do with it.

Really he's more like wonder woman, just as likely to befriend his enemies as he is to defeat them.

A lot of people have pointed this out before, but aside from Gohan, Krillin and Roshi, everyone on the Universe 7 team was, at one point, Goku's enemy.

[up](a number)
The Flash beat a teleporter in a race from the edge of the universe to Earth, once. Teleporting does not make you the fastest.

Best page-topper.

The Flash's speed is, it's worth noting, literally reality warping and universe breaking. He's not the best example.

[up][up][up] Now I'm imagining a running gag where whenever someone says "thank God" Piccolo shows up and says "you're welcome." While Dende is behind him trying to get him to knock it off.

Having the most ki doesn't automatically make you the fastest. Trunks showed that off nicely.

Well, that was different since Trunks also bulked himself up to the point that he was slowing himself down. It wasn't his Ki, it was his muscles.

Not that Burter really was the fastest or anything, just that more ki does not necessarily equal more speed.

Well, your power level is your ki, and despite any claims to the contrary, most battles are more or less won by who has the highest power level. That being said, it's true that Ki doesn't decide everything but it does help a lot. Basically, in Dragonball you can't be just a Glass Cannon, Fragile Speedster, or a Mighty Glacier, you have to be all of them, especially the last two, before anything else really matters.

A lot of people have pointed this out before, but aside from Gohan, Krillin and Roshi, everyone on the Universe 7 team was, at one point, Goku's enemy.

Technically Krillin and Roshi were enemies as well. Well, Krillin was a smug rival, and never really a straight up foe, and Roshi was an opponent (the first serious opponent Goku ever had, and the first to legitimately beat him in a fight), but still.

Gohan is the only person on that team who's never been a foe of Goku in any way, friendly or otherwise.

If we're being technical, Gohan was training with Goku in the Android/Cell Sagas. Wouldn't he be counted as an opponent in the same way?

No. There was no antagonism or competition between them. They were just training.

They tried to make Ribrianne more likable, having her, Kakunsa, and Rozie be happy to see how Krillin and 18 love one another.

Yeah, it's gonna take a lot more than that to get me to like her, so I'd suggest trying harder.

Or don't actually, because after murdering two people for an incredibly petty reason, trying to sneak attack Goku despite him having chastised 17 when he did the same to her and her friends, calling 17 evil for eliminating her teammates when he is just trying to save his universe like her, and revealing that, instead of using the SD Bs to say, restore the destroyed universes and their inhabitents, create peace and eliminate all war across all of the remaining universes, or end hunger, you know, something noble, she wanted to force all beings in the multiverse to fall in love with her (which is itself a very questionable act in regards to morality, since she would be stripping people of their free will), you can't get me to see her as anything other than a huge jerk. She is a murderer, a hypocrite, has Moral Myopia, and wanted to strip people of their free will. She Is impossible to redeem in my eyes.

How did you get "I want to be the goddess of love to force everyone else to love me and only me" from "I want to be the goddess of love so that everyone will love and be loved"? Her wish to become a goddess has never been anything but good-natured.

Yeah, that's basically my read on Ribrianne too. I was actually pretty surprised more people didn't comment on the implications of her wish when she mentioned it.

Very few in this tournament are, the main protagonist included.

The people who I'd say are the most good are Gohan, that dude from U10, and maybe the Pride Troopers (they're kinda going full heel by pure necessity, but they are still the heroes of their world).

I just mentioned Gohan. He's probably the most morally good guy in the entire series. At worst, he doesn't put as much effort into his training as he should, but that's because he actually wants to take care of his family, unlike his dad.

There's also his arrogance streak when he powers up, but that's something he get eventually push past.

Oh, and before she is eliminated, she says that 18 shouldn't be married to Krillin since he's bald and doesn't have a nose. Yeah. Her changing her view on their love for each other after her elimination doesn't change the fact that she said that in the first place.

[up][up][up] The other two biggest assholes in the tournament would be Monna and Frieza. The other nicest character would be Jimees, since he offered to teach Gohan some of his moves.

Krillen is a handsome man even without a nose. He does pretty damn good with the ladies I'll have her know. tongue

Also rather hypocritical since her MG form doesn't have a nose to begin with.

I'm surprised both 17 and 18 made it through this episode. I wonder if that means they're going to get another focus episode before the tournament is over (maybe one involving Universe 3?), or if they're going into the "can be taken out to show how strong next opponent" camp.

I do think either 18 or Piccolo is probably next to be out. That ankle's going to keep being a problem.

The slime dude who tried to cut off Dyspo's ears was pretty bad too.
