Wait can't you heal people with your Ki?

Should 17 & 18 learn how to do that?

Going by current Super rules, 17 and 18 being stronger than Freeza is necessary for natural threat escalation, but they didn't necessarily need to be stronger than Super Saiyan 1 Goku and Vegeta.

[up]No. Closest you can do is recharge them and restart a stopped heart.

Like I said, when you have an ace in the hole like infinite stamina, you can be a threat without having to straight-up physically overpower your enemy.

I have no problem with the Androids being stronger.

If they weren't even stronger than Frieza, then they'd never be a threat to Super Saiyans infinite stamina or not. They'd be destroyed before tiring out even became a variable.

It doesn't matter how much energy you have if the shell that holds that energy explodes in three hits.

Piccolo's strategy was to obliterate one of them before Cell found them.

He just didn't expect them to put up such a good fight.

Pretty much.

The only weapon against Serial Escalation is even greater Serial Escalation.

Vegeta was weaker than 18, but still able to put up a fight with her before he got too tired. It wasn't a huge difference in power but he really didn't have an avenue of winning that we saw.

119 to 122 spoilers.

So Gamisaras is invisible and Damon is tiny. They eliminate Katopesla and Piccolo but are beaten and U4 is erased. The Megazord is a go. Repeat: the Megazord is a go.

Piccolo, defeated by some bugs. Lol. Hyped for the U3 Transformers though.

Gohan may not be able to dodge, but at least he doesn't slip up :V

Despite Piccolo "accidentally" falling off the arena

Remember that the bugs' whole gimmick appears to be hitting people when they're not expecting it. I'm sure it's not literally an accident.

it'll likely be like Goku vs Kuririn where everyone assumes it's an accident initially

I don't think it matters.

If people want to shit on Piccolo for getting eliminated, they'll do so.

In the mean time, go bug guys. You're moment of glory has come, short though it may be.

It's funnier to imagine Piccolo slipping and falling by himself and then blaming the bugs and thus, I will continue to do so.

So it turns out flying off on your own > teamwork after all.

All of Team Nerd save for Gohan were the first to get eliminated. :P

On the bright side, maybe Goku and Gohan can do stuff together now.

Am I the only one who felt keeping Piccolo and Gohan together felt a bit forced?

I keep getting the image of Piccolo slipping on a banana peel and it's hysterical.

I'm glad Universe 4 get to do something before they get erased. I keep forgetting that they exist. Every time the Universe gets brought up I have to go back to the character page to get a refresher on who they are.

For all that Quitela was all "nya ah ah, I'm going to make Beerus suffer through trickery!", basically nothing came out of his character.

So...is U3 still considered a joke or...of course, just because they've lasted this long doesn't mean they're anything special. Just means they've waited the longest to face the grinder that is U6/U7. Interesting to see how strong these robots really will be though.

Okay I'm betting 5 bucks this is where 17 & 18 bite the dust.

Just seems fitting really & apparently they have a different reaction according to it.

[up] Well yeah of course. Just now busting out their last resort when they literally have no other option due to everyone else being eliminated due to their weakness (except Maji-Kayo who did decent till ya know Jiren) won't change that.

I feel like Aniraza is going to be the third and final opponent in this tournament to proc Ultra Instinct from Goku (though he's obviously going to use it a fourth time against Jiren).

Holy shit, even more 120-121 spoilers. These don't really add much on to the other two aside from clarifying a couple things.

So the U3 robots do fuse in 120 and fight U7, but Paparoni's light flash transforms their combined form further into Aniraza (as well as possibly taking control of 17 and 18, but that's just speculation).

Oh yeah, and the ADs for the upcoming episodes. Damn good line-up.
