18 eliminated one of the big guns? Par-tay!

Always liked her.

Not seen actual chapter but it boggles my mind that there's just 15 minutes left and they are taking it so casually, tf does Jiren have a death wish or what?

Monna's nowhere near as bad as Frost.

On Episode 117: pretty good episode, actually. The Kamikaze Fireballs went out in a badass way, and Brianne learned a valuable lesson about tolerance and not judging a book by its cover. 18 is awesome, and it looks like she's much stronger than initially thought, around 17's level. I really liked the bouncy and fun animation on Ribrianne, and her final form was way larger than I was expecting. In terms of size, she was probably larger than any other Dragon Ball character aside from Porunga and Zarama.

Also, given how Ribrianne was constantly talking about how she was fighting to "spread love throughout the multiverse", it looks like you guys totally misinterpreted the intent of her wish. Seems like it should be obvious how a goddess of love would be about spreading love instead of getting loved...

[up] Zarama isn't the name of the dragon. It's the name of the person who MADE the SD Bs. We haven't seen him at any point in the series, though he should still be alive since the SD Bs still work, and the dragonballs stop working when their creator dies. The dragon is called Super Shenron.

18 was quite possibly my earliest Best Girl. Really happy she's still got some fire in her.

[up][up][up]The manga and dub would disagree with you. According to them, Zarama is Super Shenron and he created the Super Dragon Balls so that anyone could summon him and grant their wish whenever he was needed.

I like how they showed that for all o Ribrianne constant talk about "love" she really had no idea what it is. And in the end she turned into a giant monster. Fitting. [lol]

Glad we got her out of the way at least. Now it's just those three guys, and they will probably get eliminated next week.

Oh yeah, Vegeta letting himself get pummeled to get Ultra Instinct was hilarious.

Why do I get the feeling that Vegeta unlocks UI (attack style) later and has to fuse with Goku?

trying to sneak attack Goku despite him having chastised 17 when he did the same to her and her friends

It wasn't so much the sneak attack she objected too, as much as disrespecting the transformation process (which is sacred).

Zarama isn't the name of the dragon. It's the name of the person who MADE the SD Bs. We haven't seen him at any point in the series, though he should still be alive since the SD Bs still work, and the dragonballs stop working when their creator dies. The dragon is called Super Shenron.

The dub at least goes with "Zalama and Super Shenron are the same being". That's official enough for me.

Would they be willing to fuse in this situation?

It takes a lot to even make them consider such a thing. Plus, we all know it'd run out after 12 seconds or the usual bullshit.

Not long enough that much is for sure. I don't trust Toriyama to not decide to have it fail to surprise people.

The last time a new (Saiyan exclusive) power up won the day was Super Saiyan 2.

GT may be crap, but on the other hand, we're watching Dragon Ball Super.

I don't know if I'd call Super worse than GT.

All joking aside...well, there was one thing I liked about GT, and that was the idea of the balls having actual consequences to their overuse and the Z warrior's overeliance on them, but's been long since ruined by you Saiga! BY FRIDGE LOGIC.

Considering this is gonna run to march, this is a going to be a long 15 minutes.

So, we get to make Namek jokes again it seems.

Maybe this arc only existed for relating to the Namek "5 minutes" thing...

Because it just, kinda makes no sense.

"Toriyama, everyone is still talking about how time in the Namek arc made no sense."

"Really?"

"Yeah. They're really glad that it finally ended."

"...Is that a challenge?"

So Ribrianne continues to be awful, but at least we got some eliminations and Android focus in this episode. Man, 18 did not look good here. Bailed out by 17 after they paired off against single opponents, then has to win with really schlocky power of love crap.

edit: Also, given that she was being kicked around by 18, Ribrianne did not come across as being very powerful here.
