...how did Trunks boomerang his sword off of Goku Black's arm?

He's just that good.

He's like, the only dude still bringing a sword to a ki fight, so he's probably practised a lot.

Wasn't he overlooking him?

When did he get on the ground?

Man, we've been at the Tournament of Power for so long that it was actually kind of jarring to watch Black just... floating there. Without using wings. Just flying. Somehow, I forgot how naturally Dragon Ball characters can just do that.

You know I shouldn't be surprised that Trunks can do that after seeing how he sheathed his sword in Xenoverse.

[up] Psch, I don't care what anyone says, Kale, Caulifa, Goku, Vegeta, Toppo, and Jiren were flying at several points. At one point Goku and Jiren were specifically in the middle of an attack rush in midair, shortly before Goku punted Jiren to the ground and jumped off of the tower.

Nam and Goku did the same thing in Dragon Ball. They just Jump Good™.

I am so looking forward to British Black.

Cause we all know its coming and when it comes its gonna be hilarious.

I'm also curious if Zamasu is gonna have a British accent.

Black does the Savage Kick™ like 3 or 4 times in the arc, and every time it's amazing. It's definitely one of his signature moves.

Presumably, since the stated reason for Rose Black getting the accent is that he's becoming more recognizably Zamasu.

Hero Rule #17: Any weapon, thrown by a sufficiently plucky hero, will function like a boomerang and return to the user. If said weapon is actually a boomerang, it will instead function like a homing missile.

When did Mistare Fusion talk about Vegito?

Also, I used to like Gotenks until I realized he's really dumb. Tons of people getting killed? Good time to showboat and hold back true power. Chi-Chi, Gohan, and Vegeta are dead? Still not enough to get serious. Literally everyone on Earth dead? Nah, that's fine. Literally everyone I know and love (aside from Piccolo) dead? Nahhhhhh.

You mean I can use the internet for discussion and not solely for validating my opinions? Why would I want to do that? People might tell me I'm wrong. And I'm never wrong!

This but unironically.

5 Things You Would Change About Dragonball Super (if you were forced to accept its continued existence and syndication regardless of your present ability to alter its content).

  • Goku and Vegeta would keep their ROF outfits. I was rather fond of them.
  • Kefla stays fused after getting knocked out.
  • No GOD Toppo. Only JUSTICE Toppo.
  • Goku drops unconscious after fighting Kefla and doesn't wake up until later.
  • Goku goes back in time and tries to recruit Goku Black for the Tournament of Power. Because it would be hilarious seeing Goku trying to defend this decision.

I don't think even Goku is crazy enough to try convincing Zamasu to fight for them.

Especially given that he's from Universe 8 anyway.

Kefla stays fused after getting knocked out.

I'm not really sure what this changes, unless you're implying they never defuse ever.

[up] I'm guessing he had a problem with the fusion just ending once she was eliminated since it's not clear what caused it.

[up][up] - Piccolo actually stays dead for the Champa Arc, (Because the wishes should at least take time) having a different Z fighter in his place for that tournament.

-The Potora Time limit is not a thing, Vegito uses a wish to defuse or the massive energy breaks the fusion.

-Trunks' Sword finishes off fused Zamasu

-Future Trunks takes Tiens Spot in the tournament

-Vegeta gets an offense focused Ultra instinct form instead of his Super Sayain Bluer form.

Kafla uses Controlled Super Saiyan Berserk against SSG Goku

Kafla uses Mastered Super Saiyan Berserk to overpower SSB KKx20 Goku

Kafla fights UIO Goku using Super Saiyan Berserk 3

Same basic fight structure, Kafla's strength is just shifted down a tier in each of her various fights and she pays off the Super Saiyan 3 foreshadowing for the Saiyan girls.

[up]Vegeta might still get that.

Edit: The first one wasn't in English. The second is neither, but it doesn't have as much dialogue. I'm ashamed of myself for laughing at this.

[up][up][up] Five things? Well, I guess I would mostly just drop Universe 4 before Universe 9 and 10. Other than that, I'm not sure what to complain.

I agree with keeping Goku and Vegeta's new outfits. I don't get what was the point of making them if they were just going to go back to their more well known outfits.

Well the new outfits or Goku's really kinda suck.

Antoher change I would include is to make Piccolo fight against Botamo and then Frost, THEN letting Vegeta fight Frost, Magetta and Cabba, and Goku fight only Hit.

I kind of like how Xenoverse went with Piccolo and the Patroller fighting against Cabba and Frost in unison, and then having you and Vegeta fighting against Hit and Cabba. Besides, Piccolo defeated Botamo off-screen.

TBH I think a real improvement would be making the Tournament of Power for shits and giggles instead of being about Universe Survival. Like, I feel a big goofy tournament would just be a lot more tonally consistent than what we eventually got.

I could actually agree with this. When you think about it, since he wanted Goku to have a big climatic battle with Frost, there was no reason for him to go first. We could have still had the cheating debacle with Piccolo on his own.

[up] and [up][up][up] Agreed. It would also give Piccolo a win (maybe stretchy arms against flabby belly?) which would be nice.

Forego the adaptations of the movies. In fact, before the Champa arc, only the slice of life segments are worth it, if you ask me.

Seconding Piccolo starting the fighting, and taking Botamo out, as well.
