Remember when Kefla and Aniraza tried to destroy the stage?

Remember when Toppo's battle with Goku was stopped by the Grande Padre?

Good lord. No wonder this guy is the leader of the Pride Troopers.

Speaking of Hogan, do you think Toppo is becoming a heel?

And let's not forget of course that Jiren is stronger than him.

Well the pride troopers were always sort of heels in that the Uni 7 guys were the heroes.

(of course, in terms of wrestling comparisons Jiren is clearly Roman Reigns).

Vegeta said it clearly: Jiren is not fighting at full power.

It's just getting boring to be honest. Jiren is just sandbagging way too much. Why didn't he just sweep the entire tourney at the start and be done with it?

Is Ascended!Toppo still weaker than Jiren? Pretty crazy if so.

Yeah, someone seems to like 17 a lot.

That aside, Toppo's buff form reminds me of someone from another series, but I can't place it. Heihachi from Tekken, maybe?

ok so now I see this ending with freeza winning after everyone else is knocked off but he's still on the edge after the rock hit him.

Now I am certainly curious about the way the manga may handle this...

It is a trope in Dragon Ball where they never really get serious until the very end. It is kind of annoying but what can I do?

I think it works for Toppo since he can't embrace destruction until he lets go of Justice. Jiren has no excuse though.

Well if the manga is anything to go by Jiren doesn't want to be in this tournament at all.

Hell if something happens in his universe he's heading there immediately to solve whatever problem is happening.

Damn.

I think this is the first time we've seen a God of Destruction really using their full power in a fight. Even in his match with Goku, Beerus never really relied on the Power of Destruction... just used it to erase an energy blast here and there.

It is curious to me that those quite literal Sphere of Destruction energy blasts can be "turned down" to not annihilate an opponent instantly though. I was kind of wondering if Toppo would erase Freeza by accident and get himself disqualified.

Yeah and Beerus implied that Toppo was still weak for a God of Destruction as he needed to charge his attacks.

Which gives a clue at how strong Beerus can be if he actually tires.

Saw the episode, it was cool but:

Toppo, didn't you already say "forget justice" a long time ago, so why only do this now?

It's nice to see Frieza get what's coming to him but how did he survive that ball of destruction, even Toppo seem surprised by that. Which also leaves me wondering, Toppo, why are you hurling balls of destruction at them when you know you can't kill them or you'll be disqualified?

The Super people must really like 17, and it's a bit ridiculous.

I still wonder if the kill = disqualification rule is going to come into play at all.

Like, Vegeta deliberately gets Toppo to erase him next episode, sacrificing himself to disqualify him or something. This is why they should have brought Yamcha.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!

If it does, it will almost certainly involve Frieza.
