Honestly Xenoverse Jiren is best Jiren so far.

Also, I have so many questions about that meme video. Namely why is it so high-quality?

What character do you think Cell got the most DNA from?

Freeza. Perfect Cell could pass for a member of the species; all there is to change is the stinger and elytra for a tail (one that doesn't arise from the middle of the back, but from the hip).

Some of these memes do remind me of how stale DB's fight choreography can be at times. Punch punch, dodge dodge, kidney punch, no sell Ki attack etc.

Anime Goku: I want to fight!

Anime Jiren: Fuck you.

Manga Goku: I want to fight!

Manga Jiren: Get lost. I don't want to use my energy on you.

Manga Goku: Oh, dear, sorry.

Xenoverse Goku: I want to fight!

Xenoverse Jiren: What an honor, come at me with all of your power!

LOL, they're still using Hit's old VA? You think they would have just updated all of his lines and have Matt Mercer redub them.

I guess they will fix everything by the sequel, but for now, Aaron Roberts is Xenoverse Hit, Goku Black Rosé is a smoker in the sixth Dlc, and Mufasa is still dead.

He probably wasn't available. He actually resides in LA and only ever comes in to Dallas to record his lines for DBS, One Piece, or AOT. It's similar to how Vic Mignogna didn't record lines for Burter in Fighter Z.

That El Hermano vs. Jiren video blew my mind.

[up][up] I see. That's still pretty jarring though, especially since he voiced Hit in Fighter Z.

That Hermano thing is a frequent shitpost on 4chan, so I've seen it before. tongue

That said, I'm surprised Xenoverse Jiren is... actually charismatic? Why couldn't his character be like that in the show? It'd be like if Obuni was the main antagonist of the arc. You want Goku to win, but you know this nice guy has to lose in the process. Instead it's just waiting for Goku to beat up another smug douchebag.

I think the difference between Xenoverse Jiren and Manga/Anime Jiren is circumstances. Xenoverse Jiren is fighting without the Universes being on the line, so he can be a lot more friendly and encouraging to the people he fights.

90% of the TOP contestants are smug douchebags. Can't have the protagonist team be portrayed as morally ambiguous, after all.

Thing is Anime-Jiren admits he doesn't care for anyone, even his own universe.

He is shown to be an utterly selfish prick who cares for no one but himself & doesn't even respect the people who consider him their friend.

He's a Jerk with a Heart of Jerk through & through.

[up] Also that, they have a really hard time writing characters who are not smug pricks.

I think whoever decided this stuff made them put Jiren into the game before his personality existed and the writers decided to go with what they thought fit him best.

I would call this character assassination except Anime-Jiren does not have a character and even then his 'character' is that he is just another arrogant villain needs to humbled by Goku. Anime-Jiren exists to make Goku look better by comparison and to go on rampage realizing that he bested by a weakling.

Also that, they have a really hard time writing characters who are not smug pricks.

Well they better start learning, I really don't like that characterization for Jiren and it really just makes him like very other villain in Dragon Ball.

I think whoever decided this stuff made them put Jiren into the game before his personality existed and the writers decided to go with what they thought fit him best.

Suffice to say, Jiren is just another strong guy for Goku to punch to in the face.
