That didn't really seem to heal Frieza, just give him enough energy move. Frieza being alive is because Frieza can just naturally survive being cut into pieces.

[up][up][up] He didn't get hit with the drawbacks until he used Mastered Ultra Instinct though; every other time, he just tired himself out.

Even though his intestines were hanging out, apparently getting that loaner ki took him from 'dying' to 'not dying'

Eh, I don't think the issue was ever him dying from his wounds. He was most worried about the planet exploding, and even after he got blasted by Goku for trying to backstab him and taking the planet exploding he still didn't die.

And of course there's Super, with Frieza being resurrected in chunks and still being perfectly alive.

Goku also has telepathy whenever he wants to so I just figure he can do whatever he wants.

He probably even knows the forbidden clothes beam technique

I wasn't really using Show, Don't Tell. The adherence so e have to the trope does annoy me, especially as a means of dismissing any detail that is exposited. It's just that the kind of concept Whis was talking about would work better if we could see it, Whis' commentary isn't fitting enough alone.

I thought Goku's aura growing bigger and bigger was a visual indicator of that, as well as foreshadowing Goku's aura becoming a galaxy when he mastered Ultra Instinct.

@Rob Is that in ascending order?

and his breakdown of the Goku V 19 fight is actually quite good.

I've always really liked that fight for some reason. The Faulconer score for it was really good, too.

[up] Never realized how floppy the Clone Fighters were. Also, the next big fight is with Bojack and his crew. Honestly didn't expect that. Also, I'm now pretty damn sure that the new masked saiyan is Shallot from Legends.

It's odd that toys always make Jiren's skin silver and shiny, when it should be more of flat light grey.

Where did fans get the idea that Goku can stomp anyone? That's not even true in his own series.

He stomps pretty decently everything but end bosses. Nappa's spine and Recoome's butt can attest to that.

[up][up]Well, sort of.

It was true that Goku was the most powerful single character at the end of any given arc for a good long while - say 22nd Budokai till the Cell Arc. Then Gohan overtook him - but Gohan's performance in the Buu arc was so subpar, that Goku sort of returned to being the big cheese.

Gohan became stronger than Goku again with his sitting still for several hours training but in the end it didn't even matter
