Way to go Gohan. You are truly the greatest hero.

@75763

Eh...I wouldn't exactly say it's not doing anything new. They definitely retread old ground, but several stuff like the protagonists outright failing their goal in the Future Trunks arc, the two team styled tournaments, and (unless you count the Battle of Gods movie) transformations obtained in the heat of battle not being able to defeat the arc's antagonist haven't really been done previously in Dragon Ball.

Gohan and Dyspo are out now. Gohan made a sacrifice play with Frieza because Dyspo just kept getting faster and faster.

Its basically just like GT, the start of the series was crap for a large number of reasons then once it starts actually getting some steam with this and the last arc they cancel it out of the blue....

Fuck Dyspo out. Next up is Toppo.

Alright gotta ask, hypothetically did he do enough in this episode to give him his own move-set for Fighter Z or is he in the end better suited as an assist character for say Jiren or Toppo?

[up] Well its not like its permanently ending. We'll prolly get a new show after the movie.

Gohan is out? But he was supposed to get Ultra Instinct and solo Jiren!

[up][up] Its done for at least a year, likely at least 3-5 years, the timeslot DBS is in is for year around series and it will be instantly replaced the week after it ends.

So like, is Frieza just a good guy? He's botched his betrayal three times now.

[up] Doubt it. Freeza's just on whatever side he can use to take over the gods and get himself revived.

If we do end up getting a Universe 11 character in F Ighter Z's DLC, I'm assuming they'll all just end up being assists for Jiren. It's unlikely that they'll give them more than one character slot, and if it's going to be one of them, it's going to be Jiren.

That said, speaking entirely hypothetically... yeah. he's got enough specials (I haven't been paying attention enough to speak about normals) that a game could probably make him unique if they really wanted him to be. Especially if, instead of a damaging super, they were to give him Super Light Speed as a Genei Jin / Custom Combo-style install that increases his movement speed, attack speed, some move properties and ability to juggle. It would work, it's just not likely.

[up] Yeah I know its very unlikely but its fun to imagine stuff.

Besides its not like its completely impossible, all you need is one good fight really.

Either way we'll be getting Jiren sometime later this year.

He'd be that Fragile Speedster character like Taokaka.

Anyway, ok episode. Kind of spent a bit too much time on setting up a betrayal that never happened. We know the series is ending, so we know nothing is going to come from it. I do like how he's faster than Freeza even if he's not as strong, gives him an edge beyond just being powerful.

All things considered, Gohan did well enough. Yes, I know people are going to give him shit because of all of the memes, but there really wasn't much anyone could ask for. He came up with a good plan and when that failed, he adapted quickly and took one for the team.

You know every ep I become more and more convinced that these eps would flow so much better if people were erased immediately after being eliminated. Because holy shit are these constant cuts to someone (Shin, Krillin, Roshi, etc) repeating the same exact two lines over and over again with the only change being who they’re talking about easily the worst thing in this arc.

“Gasp! (U7 character) was hit! He’s gonna lose!”

“Hurray! (U7 character) hit the opponent! He’s gonna win!”

Is it just me? Am I overreacting? Am I the only one wishing the peanut gallery would just shut the hell up?

Honestly, outside of that one yadrat giving him more trouble than he should have, Gohan had a pretty solid showing overall IMHO.

[up] That combines with the Zenos constantly "Woooo, coool" over damn near everything, it's been the worst thing about this arc.

The peanut gallery is just terrible, flat out terrible.

[up] At least they do something like imitating the cool stuff they saw so at least their being a little creative.

The tournament would’ve been over 3 months ago if there was no audience. I’m dead serious.

That is kind of true. Not like the audience added anything, but then they'd have to erase the Universe 7 characters.

[up] Not with less two months left.

Was I the only one rooting for Dyspo during his fight with Freeza? Because it feels really good whenever someone wipes that cocky grin off his face and reminds him he ain't the strongest any more.

Well someone has to go out considering U7 can easily win this tournament by just lasting long enough.

Also I find hilarious how after God knows how many episodes featuring nearly 80 characters we finally see someone other than Goku suffer clothing damage & its motherfucking Toppo. [lol]

Seriously that is hilarious, Yosemite Sam is going shirtless mofuckers. [lol] [lol][lol][lol][lol]
