I'm not going to tell anyone they're wrong for finding Jiren entertaining, but at the very least I hope we can all agree he doesn't have much a personality, and get why some people would find that disappointing.

[up][up][up] Goku's job can be done by a rock or an emotionless robot. Doesn't make it not entertaining.

I don't about the anime, but Jiren's introduction in the manga was honestly pretty cool…

[up][up]Karrot's too proactive for that to be true...

An emotionless robot can only be reactive.

[up] Well he did only start doing something when outright ordered too by Belmoud.

Before that he was completely reactive in dealing with Kale's rampage & Maji-Kayo's attempted mutilation of Dyspo.

So I totally forgot one other technique that Goku invented himself:

So yeah: Dragon fist, Ki landmines, and that little trick.

I believe it's called Ozaaru Fist by the fandom.

I wonder if Namekians photosynthesize. They have green skin, they evolved on a planet that's perpetually daytime, and they otherwise only subsist on water.

I remember reading that that Toriyama said they have "special enzymes that let them take nutrients from water", yeah... just saying they photosynthesize would have been better.

Does that make Lord Slug a name akin to Lord Guy?

Apparently its a bit contentious that the dragon balls didn't bring him back because other robots have gotten resurrected by the dragon balls before

Although the only example I remember is Arale, who has gag powers

For all we know he did get brought back and is now living in harmony with the forest. Either way it's not like he has any reason to get involved in later conflicts, really.
