It's Roshi being Roshi basically.

The assorted dragons powers don't work on anyone stronger than their creators. Except for Zalama(?) I guess, since they can grant any wish and so guess doesn't have anyone stronger than them. Except maybe Zeno, I guess. I guess we'll find that out later.

Well, presumably Zalama is stronger than anyone else in the universe.

Also, let me retract that, he didn't try to grope and strip her, he did grope and strip her.

Apparently Tien has been training himself to play cards or something because somehow it's an even fight between him and Roshi even though he was flatly superior to him like twenty five years ago and Roshi hasn't trained since. And why the multiarm technique? "Because pandering Arha" yeah yeah I know but still!

Oh wait Tien actually lost. Never mind.

Yeah, expect a lot of L's from Tien in this arc.

Tien is the new Yamaha.

This is the reality we live in now.

The multiarm technique is actually pretty deadly in close combat.

Too bad Japan hates Tien.

Tien's weaksauce performance in this arc is divine punishment for that time he fought equally with Trunks.

I think it's more that they really want to hammer in the whole "Krillin is the strongest human" thing, though they've undercut themselves *again* by now since it looks like Roshi's the strongest (or at least best at combat as a whole) out of the Human crew by this point of the Tournament of Power.

Roshi probably is a better fighter than Krillin, honestly. But that has nothing to do with strength. By the measure of pure strength, Krillin is the strongest human (not counting cyborgs).

Japan doesn't hate Ten, they just don't try to pander to him the way they do Kuririn and Roshi. Ten's still got better than he really needed, those too are just grossly overhyped

What if Freeza wins, gets his wish to eliminate the gods and the God forms disappear? It'd be interesting for Goku to get demoted to Ssj 3 level again and makes room for Uub to be useful, as training him now is fucking redundant

Saiga Since: Feb, 2011 Relationship Status: Getting away with murder
#72738: Dec 23rd 2017 at 4:05:09 PM

I highly doubt they'd remove the new merchandise forms.

Goku has still shown an interest in Oob post-God so they'll just say he has more potential.

It's been awhile since I've watched GT, what was the deal with Uub and Buu fusing or whatever? I remember thinking that was cool, but then they wasted it by not really having Majuub or whatever do much.

#72740: Dec 23rd 2017 at 4:15:55 PM

It's Boo realizing that Oob is 'part' of him, and sacrifices himself to power-up Oob when Oob is losing to Baby. That's about all it is, it's just Oob inheriting the 'complete' Majin Boo power.

I think it was handled pretty well in the Baby arc, since even his defeat ends up being a plot for him to hurt Baby Vegeta from within which buys Goku time to be powered-up by the other Saiyans. After the Baby arc they really tone down his power though he still gets to kill Rildo and stall against Omega.

18 sacrificed herself to save 17 from being knocked out by Too Fast Too Hatchiyack.

Oh and apparently Mosco may not actually have been a robot. Either way RIP U3.

On one hand I am glad 17 has been getting so much focus in this tournament, on the other hand I am annoyed at how much they flubbed 18.

Via the power love against an opponent 17 has more of a rivalry with & its clearly because since she's the girl she should be empowered by love.

If Gohan & 17 use the power of love then I'll lighten up but that's very unlikely.

I was impressed anyway. I mean, people in real life can, like, lift cars when their loved ones are threatened...
