I didn't feel like the episode was crapping on Tien. It's too busy bullying Yamcha to worry about Tien. It just gave Roshi ridiculous undeserved hype.

18 spent a lot of the arc needing to be rescued, only handily defeated female opponents, & her biggest set piece involved the power of love.

All this added up together is what makes it not good. .

Tien doesn't actually look bad in any of his appearances this arc.

The way it was done is just incredibly tacky, over-the-top and lazy. And of course, it has to be the drive between the only U 7 female fighter's big moment.

Nothing, but the specific complaint is that the only woman on the protagonist side had to use it to beat someone.

Tien doesn't actually look bad in any of his appearances this arc.

To quote Plague of Gripes, he just wasn't given a "Toriyama handjob" like Roshi and Krillin. It's all kind of relative though. Krillin had the better performance but he subsequently got crapped on by everyone for being the first U7 fighter eliminated.

My main issue with the fight is just how uncreative the whole episode is. If you're going to have Tien's main function being him fighting the sniper, why don't they, I dunno, try to snipe back with his dodon ray rather than running head first into the attacks? tongue

I know, I've seen Plague's videos. I was trying to make a joke hinting that Tien didn't look good either.

And for the like the 3rd time in a row, Shulgo was wrong about Gohan getting eliminated :V

Wanna try for a 4th time?

Quick, Shulgo, predict he'll get eliminated again, I want to see if Gohan can win this whole arc! [lol]

Though I think a Goku/Gohan dance fusion is a possibility.

If he keeps guessing every episode, he'll be right eventually I suppose.

...Dude, are like, trying to bully me right now? Because even I'm not keeping track of how many times I made that prediction, yet you apparently do, and pointing out I was wrong is apparently the first thing on your mind after watching the episode. Get a life or something

Anyway, I predict Gohan will be eliminated... well not next episode, since it's Vegeta turn to get his ass kicked, and not the episode after that, because if they're planning to stretch it till March, there will be a lot of padding, but like four episode from here? I dunno, if I keep making this prediction he's bound to slip up on a banana peel eventually.

The Power of Love is very good actually. I agree though that it was eyerolling how they went with "18 needs to be saved" like five times.

[up][up]Jeez man, calm down. I'm messing with you. It's a freaking Anime. I just find it funny how you keep making that same prediction every time Gohan gets any sort of focus. You have been doing that for the past few months, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who's noticed.

I Came Out to Have a Good Time and I’m Honestly Feeling So Attacked Right Now!

And I keep making that prediction since it's a good one, and I will look super smart when it finally comes true. All the naysayers will have to eat their words then!

I actually have a weird gut feeling Gohan will win the whole thing.

I think those lyrics from the full OP are pretty clear, to the point that Gohan getting eliminated would sincerely surprise me. It's not like the ending of this arc hasn't been set in stone since before Limit Break x Survivor was written.

That preview for the next episode holy shit.

Vegeta making Jiren choke spit from a kick to the gut and then forcing him to block the Final Flash. Fuck, Vegeta's going to job but he always makes it look good.
