I think he has severely overstated how much he subverts expectations.

Definitely. I suspect that like many things, it's what he intends to do, but he the execution is very different.

Like how he always intended for Goku to be a bit rather selfish, but for most of the pre-saiyan saga, he was often helping people with no real reward.

Heck, Goku spends his time riding a cloud which can only be ridden by the pure of heart.

[up] Sounds like 17 is going to be the one who faces Toppo. Interesting that it sounds like the parts of the Manga where Toppo is a God of Destruction Candidate also sounds like it will be added in here.

Dypso wasn't as big of fodder as we thought.

I am surprised he's stuck in this long.

That said, given that there's almost only five minutes left in the tourney and Goku and Vegeta have started working together, I wonder if this is building up to Vegetto Blue (or UI?) vs. Jiren. It just seems so strange that so little time is passing and they keep drawing emphasis to it.

Why even give Vegeta a solo episode if he's not eliminated at this point.

They don't really have time for Vegeta to learn the dance properly.

[up][up] Could be like the Kid Buu fight where Geets is taking the brunt of the assault in order to buy more time for Goku.

I'm thinking the next order of eliminations will probably go:

  • Dypso is eliminated by Freeza.
  • 17 is eliminated by Toppo.
  • Freeza is eliminated by Toppo.
  • Vegeta is eliminated by Jiren.

With the final fights coming down between Goku & Jiren and Gohan & Toppo.

Holy fucking shit, Frieza needs Gohan help after fighting Dyspo for 3 episodes!? I mean, I knew Gohan and Dyspo would fight eventually, but fucking Frieza needing help is so unexpected. Man, all the people who thought Frieza would torture Dyspo are gonna be pissed...

It seems less like a solo episode and more like a 'Vegeta gets his head out of his ass and works with Goku' episode.

Dyspo said in an earlier episode he was no match for Freeza.

[up] I believe he said "I can't deal with this guy", which sounded more of "ugh, smug bastard" than "he's too powerful". Still though, we'll wait and see...

Beat Fusions.

For a game called Fusions there was a surprising lack of fusions in the game. Like, there's some at the beginning, some at the end, but the middle is just basic plot treading. It was enjoyable, but the lack of fusions is pretty noticeable.

Like, there are a handful of points where fusions are teased but you never even fight them.

That said the ending was amazing and epic and everything it needed to be! I can't overstate how perfectly the climax of the game played out up until the very end.

Now, the RNG makes this game frustrating. It's completely random if you scout a character even if you do things right. Why they didn't make the story characters all earnable via quests is beyond me. Not to mention the skills, even fighting some of the characters, getting some of the dragon history scenes... it's a mess and super discouraging to trying to do any sort of post game content.

The 3 Day time limit on each Shenron Summon is super stupid too, as much sense as it makes.

Honestly my only gripes with this game are the superficial battle system, arbitrary fusion requirements, the complete drought of fusions in the middle of the story, and the crappy rng system. But overrall pretty good game.

Okay, so, I know Trunks and Goten have some kind of growth disorder and thus look and act half their ages, but is Maron supposed to be genuinely a toddler or did she catch their disease?

It can but you also say that it is because it is that they are Saiyans despite what it looks like otherwise.tongue

to be fair Goku was super small right until he turned 18, at which point he hit a massive growth spurt.

same could apply to trunks and goten

I'm pretty sure Gohan was bigger than they are now during Cell saga. And teen Trunks was at his adult height.

Okay, looking it up, she does indeed have their disease. So sad. She's ten+ years old and yet acts two.

@Lion Heart Pretty sure Toppo being a candidate was already mentioned.
