It was more than Jiren expected from him. Addressing Goku's name isn't same grand acknowledgement anyhow.

Usually it is in Shonen Anime. But I'll concede it's something.

Hasn't it been stated that he doesn't want to this anymore?

Based on Toriyama's recent comments about writing the upcoming Dragon Ball Super movie, far from it.

As with 2013’s Battle of Gods and the last outing Resurrection “F”, I’ve written the story myself, and I’ve had the privilege of drawing lots of design illustrations as well. The fact is, while I’m just as busy as ever, as long as I’m not doing a serial, I have plenty of free time to think about the animated version, which I was completely hands-off about before. (laughs) So please look forward to it!

The amount of contributions and effort he's made on Super, and modern Dragon Ball in general, has zigzagged a lot, but he seems genuinely interested in work in the franchise in some capacity nowadays. Toyotaro and even Toei can accredit to that in terms of trying to appease him.

[up][up][up][up] I know, but being able to see through someone's strategy and holding back is equally over-exaggerated in shonen. The two seem pretty equivalent to me - not that big a deal realistically, but a staple of shonen.

If it helps, even when Jiren is pointed out Goku saw through him and acknowledges his name, the dialogue comes off as still being pretty dismissive.

Well hearing that senzu bean kiss scene in English made me want to kill myself.

I think I almost had a brain aneurysm from sheer stupidity.

I’m ok with Mai and Future Trunks

Is Jiren really that strong he can beat Fused Zamasu

Jiren'd probably kick his ass so hard, he'd end up in the GT continuity.cool

The problem is even he wouldn't be able to kill him.

[up][up] I wasn't referring to Future Mai & Future Trunks.

I was referring to the revelation that Goku never kissed his own wife. Such a horrible joke.

And we wouldn't know if he could.

I think Toppo could've destroyed Fused Zamasu, but I don't know about Jiren. He's certainly got the power advantage, but I don't know if he has the techniques to destroy Zamasu.

I can buy Toppo.

I'd assume Hakai power trumps any form of immortality.

Maybe Chichi isn't into kissing

If she was it's weird that she never tried to initiate considering she tracked Goku down to a tournament to make him fulfill a promise he made in ignorance after kicking her in the crotch

Maybe it's just not her thing

No, it's just dumb.

Don't try and snark at it. It doesn't even deserve that. It's quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever heard out of Dragonball...or at least it will be until someone points out something dumber, and I stubbornly ignore it.

Your snark is far too good for such a dumb idea Bocaj. Don't waste it.

No no

Chi-Chi hates kissing, Goku would be fine with it

Which he'll learn when he runs away with Caulifla

It's brilliant foreshadowing

And yet a lot of people still do it.

It happens.

Like people in mid-life crisis desperately looking for ways to appear young or successful.

Besides Goku looks great for his age.

I can't see Goku having a mid-life crisis, also Caulifla called him "gramps" when they first fought.

Besides, Cau-...

... damnit we've had this conversation already. I'm out. I promised myself that I'd try not to get involved in these.

Well that's only some of the type of people who partake in those such relationships.

So she called him gramps, people still find those guys attractive.

I mean look at Joseph Joestar.

[up] Yeah their both consenting adults.

Alright I'll humor you. I was going to say that Caulifla already has a girlfriend in Kale, but I decided not to because this is exactly how we got started with that whole huge argument about whether or not they're in a relationship or if it's simply yuribait. An argument I'm not keen on repeating.

Also, Caulifla doesn't have a girlfriend.

But yeah, consenting adults and all that. The fact that Saiyans keep their youth for longer means it's not even icky from a shallow looks perspective. Go Saiyans!
