Someone please tell me that I'm not the only one who thought "Asura punches Gongen Wyzen's finger to death!" when Lazuli note  met Giant Ribrianne's punch with one of her one, giving zero fucks about the size difference?

... And is it just my imagination, or was that her injured foot that was focused on right after the two punches connected? If so, her awesomeness at that point should be bumped up several notches on account that she was doing it with a serious handicap.

Yes, tha'ts the real name of Android #18, for anyone who isn't familiar with it. Seriously, what is the rationale for the Android siblings still being referred to by their serial numbers instead of their actual names by the entire cast, themselves included?

Lazuli and Lapis sound like porn star names.

Based on the next episode preview, Piccolo is going to do what he does best

and get hurt protecting Gohan again.

Hallelujah, the Love Bitch is eliminated! [tup]

She also revealed the depths of how shallow, petty, and hypocritical she truly is here, dismissing Krillin and 18's marriage as "evil" and "tainted" for the sole reason that Krillin isn't attractive.

For all her talk about love, she understood absolutely nothing about it. Real big shocker, that.

At least 18 got to be a badass.

(Also, how is U2 sending their "love" to Ribrianne like that not cheating? That looked like an actual energy exchange, not just a gesture of support.)

Given that even the Androids don't call themselves by their real names, I always assumed they flat-out don't remember them. And if they don't remember, there's no way the rest of the cast would know them.

Just because we know the androids names now, doesn't mean the characters ever found out.

I wonder what the other three modes of Katopesla's suit are. There's the white A, the purple C, and the blue D. I hope we actually find out, and it doesn't end up like Dr. Rota's unknown ability. I suppose the D could stand for durability, increasing it 300 fold, but I have no idea what the A or C could stand for.

Don't disrespect the Kamen Rider shout out man.

My favourite parts of this episode were Ribrianne getting punching in the face (every single time), Vegeta getting bored of that dude beating up on him and just kicking his ass, 18 nearly shooting Shin's head off (no rule saying you can't attack someone on your own team from the ring), and the team work between the siblings. There was stuff I didn't care for, but I'm just going to ignore it and focus on what I enjoyed.

One: May I remind you that this is actually the second time they pull this stunt. Then again, the first time they did it was like over a dozen or two episodes ago.

Two: You could say the same about Goku's Genki Dama. Nobody called him out on that, not even the spectating members of other universes.

Three: Rule of Cool obviously trumps any other rules in the two Omni-Kings' book, as evidenced by them explicitly allowing Roshi's use of jars for his Evil Containment Wave, and Caulifla and Kale's use of the Potara earrings for fusion. Both of which happened after the characters involved used those items.

Given that even the Androids don't call themselves by their real names, I always assumed they flat-out don't remember them. And if they don't remember, there's no way the rest of the cast would know them.
... Do we have any actual indication that their brains/minds were ever messed with by Dr. Gero when he turned them into cyborgs?

If he's not careful, Krillin's instinct to jump in and help is going to get him erased. That's twice now they had to hold him back.

Likely at the perfect time for his death to motivate someone, as per the usual.

We don't. In fact, it's a well known plot point that nothing Gero did could make them loyal, which would rule out brainwashing...or at least the Undying Loyalty part of the brainwashing, since he did manage to install an extreme hate of humanity in Trunks timeline.

Okay, fair point, I'd forgotten that.

Too much going on in this tournament to keep track of it all.

Champa episode four:

Wait, I thought Jaco's girlfriend/wife was Tights? See, this is what happens when you don't explain who these terrible new characters are. I don't really know who she is anyway apart from Bulma's sister.

Oh, so Bulma defines herself by being a housewife, not a billionaire genius inventor. That's nice. She's just so domestic, after all.

I don't find jealousy to be an admirable trait, so if they were trying to show off how much Vegeta cares about Bulma it falls flat. And really, if Zuno is so scared of Bulma, couldn't she just intimidate him into not being a dick about what constitutes a question?

Anyway, nothing happened, really. Again. Kind of boring. Can't even really criticize anything.

So yeah, I get the feeling both Universe 2 and 6 are getting simultaneously erased since they both only have jobbers left in the tournament.

As far as this being 18's big spotlight episode...at least it was better than Tien's. Though I have to agree with Saiga, constantly having to get bailed out by 17 was not a good look. It be one thing if 18 was returning the favor, but 17 had to step in and save her like twice.

Come to think of it, how many years has Goku spent in that chamber anyway? He just casually decides to blow three years of his life in there even though he knows the gains will be minimal.

At least in episodes that spotlighted on her, 18's mostly spent the tournament getting rescued in general.

Well they usually become housewives because of t heir man, so they can't even decide to be housewives by themselves
