[up][up]They were considered as strong as Freeza by someone that would have only seen his first form.

In his defense Roshi had an amazing showing in the tournament so he made the right call.

Over a dude that's at least as dangerous as Perfect Cell? Please. Roshi is a chump.

Also man Goku is a dick. Why are you grinning in anticipation at fighting Black right in front of the kid who just had his mother murdered? You know, the woman that's your oldest friend? And then Black shows up and he instantly starts sandbagging like always.

[up][up] Well he went with the logic of technique over power. Thats why he didn't involve the Saiyan kids who are also very strong to begin with.

Now for most of the tournament that claim of technique importance was bullshit but Roshi actually used his techniques to pretty impressive effect.

I have honestly regained respect for the man after years of considering him just an old pervert.

Goku shouldn't be idiotic enough to go with technique over the incredibly massive gap in power.

Roshi looked good because the writers bent the universal consistency over a table in order to pander to his fans. It's absolutely not compliant with how DB has set things up, so his performance proves nothing about the devision to include him.

And honestly Roshi did fuck all that was based on technique. He mostly just overpowered people or spammed Mafuba when that wouldn't work.

Now he can go.

His performance during the tournament & even his own recruiting episode was abysmal.

Zamasu's a dick.

Also:

...You know, Videl looks pretty good in that Kamikaze Fireball suit (fan art at the end of the video for those of you wondering).

Why was everyone so in despair when the time machine was blown up? Shenron still exists, he could have fixed it.

Also, Trunks is a terrible boyfriend. "Oh no, my cradle robbing girlfriend got a little dirty but had no obvious wounds. Guess she's dead."

[up][up] I really liked Masako's idea for how the Invisible Fighters could have.

Just have them randomly take out guys with barely any indication of what they are while generating a multi-episode mystery as we wonder what they are.

Would have been cool if they got some build-up so they don't feel like an anti-climax.

[up][up] It was a lot of dirt, that's a lot to kill some neatfreaks.

I'm glad you're enjoying the arc enough to take the piss out of it rather than raging at everything that's happening like before lol.

That's so easy to come up with. Makes you wonder why the writers just didn't do that?

Wait wait wait, Beerus is drinking out of a straw? Absurd. Cats don't have complete cheeks, they can't generate the necessary suction to drink like that.

Dropped.

By the way, when does this arc get bad? I heard it started strong and then went downhill.

[up][up] I'd assume either laziness or general incompetence.

Apparently its too hard to generate ongoing conflict & not resolve them in one episode.

This tournament is very small-minded. Despite the ambitious setting the execution itself is the opposite.

[up] Ha! [lol]

There isn't really a consensus on when it gets bad, if at all.

If we're talking about the Future Trunks arc, then I'd say it started getting silly the moment Zamasu showed up out of nowhere in the future.

Goku's done probably... two really shitty things to Gohan and otherwise he's a pretty okay dad.

Three. Granted this was for a good reason, but still I'm pretty sure there was another way to stop him.

It's also kind of ridiculous considering that Goku teleports down to Piccolo with Instant Transmission to save him later. So why not do it then?
