Okay what does it need before the tropes "Creator's Pet" & "Spotlight Stealing Squad" start fitting 17?

Is #17 generally hated by fans?

It's always satisfying to see Freeza get his ass kicked.

The first one is subjective, but he might be at the point for the second.

Well, if it's just focus for one arc does it count as spotlight stealing squad?

Creator's Pet I believe has Scrappy as a prerequisite, which 17 isn't... so far as I know.

I do think it's sad that the final arc of Super has spent so much of its screentime on a character like 17. That's just bizarre.

I've always liked 17 and thought it was a bit sad that 18 got so much screentime (even if just a supporting character) after their arc while he basically vanished (I remember having arguments with friends on whether he was even alive or dead following the Cell battle). So I'm very happy to see him in the spotlight.

...but it is getting a bit excessive. I would never have predicted 17 outlasting Gohan.

@Saiga Goku never actually fought Toppo using Kaioken. Personally, I love that 17 of all people is the MVP of this arc, and I can't wait to see how it ends.

It's either him or Freeza. Goku and Vegeta are busy being ignored by Jiren.

I guess you could focus on the stands. Have Vados and Whis playing cards or something while this is going on instead of watching the fights...

Personally, I'm fine with 17 lasting this long, not because I'm a massive fan of him personally but because I think it's hilarious a bit player has hung on this long in defiance of all odds. Sometimes the unexpected tastes are the sweetest.

Sad 18 got shafted though compared to her brohter.

Its like there's an established hierarchy here & 17 is kinda fucking with it.

Not really. I've seen a bunch of people talk about how this arc made them fans of 17.

I find it pretty interesting.

I'm not as hyper-invested in all this as most of you seem to be, so blatant bullshit like 17 outlasting Piccolo and Gohan doesn't bother me, just makes me wonder where they're going with it.

I do like this sort of "just because you're the leader/strongest on the team doesn't guarantee you'll be the last to be eliminated" thing that's happened, though. Thus far only Universes 9 and 3 went out aces last.

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

Hey its pretty cool 17's doing shit.

As mentioned he's one of the few practical characters here.

Shooting the Fireballs will forever earn my respect.

17 mostly dealt with shitters and had to have his sister sacrifice herself so he could stay in.

Oh man, Toppo was too fucking great this episode. Why the fuck isn't he the final boss. I swear to god, Jiren better do some wacky ass shit near the end.
