I'd say there are bigger examples than that, but that's a pretty blatant one.

The Future Trunks arc and TOP arc are where things get much wonkier, though. Although the whole business with Goku's base form is an early example, and the Universe 6 arc has some other wonkines.

Anyway, it's pretty asinine to say that 17 must have been below human level due to his injuries. Considering that Jiren was able to injure Golden Freeza, and 17 could still budge him, that doesn't fly. Nor does the idea that Jiren suddenly went from being able to injure Golden Freeza to being able to lose to the humans.

I mean, as mentioned, it's Super so don't try to make sense of it. But it's especially silly to say that makes sense.

[up][up][up][up] As described by the audience, Jiren got over his issues and gathered up a large amount of energy, as in compared to before. As such, all that energy that Jiren put into his attack, making it stronger, which was overwhelming Golden Freiza and 17 even before it, was then overpowerd by Goku, Freiza and 17.

Edit: Jiren post Toppo speech has enough power to overpower Golden Freiza and 17, and the amount of power Jiren used to knock Freiza out of that form is the same amount Freiza burnt through to block the attack. For this to be logically sound, tired base Goku would have to have enough power to bridge the gap between post Toppo speech Jiren, and said bridge is defined as "an overwhelming amount of power" by the audience, which logically should be more than the amount of energy of the attack he used before Goku showed up.

Oh

I always did wonder what kind of powerup Future Trunks it was he did to initially match and stall Goku Black and Zamasu when he went apeshit

I’m unhappy then that the best we can do is lolSuper, that sucks

Yeah they don't explain that. They don't even name it in the show.

There is Blue Vegeta curb-stomping Future Trunks yet can somehow fight Rose Black on relatively equal grounds despite also matching or even being better than Blue.

The dub of the Arale episode was great, they even dubbed the Dr. Slump theme.

They also threw in a reference to the HFIL.

What did you think of the music in Super? With a few exceptions, I found it largely forgettable.

There's quite a few tracks I downright forgot about, such as Jiren's Theme, which doesn't sound like any of the songs that typically play when he's kicking ass and sounds more like the intro of Superman TAS. That said, this series has a talent for hammering in certain songs so that you never forget them. Among my favorites are the orchestral choir that accompanies Super Saiyan Blue and 17's theme.

Ignoring OPs and EDs, I love Blue's theme and the Hakai theme.

The OST got really better around the TOP I think, not even counting tracks like the Insert song,.

I’m generally alright with Super’s OST, not that many standout tracks I can remember off the top of my head but I really like the stuff that comes when Freiza is in action

Just saw the first episode of the Dragon Ball Heroes anime. I wasn't expecting much and was still baffled by how bad it's Excuse Plot was.

Like, nobody bats an eye about how Mai was somehow able to get to Beerus and Whis's planet? Nobody even asks? Mai isn't even remotely surprised by the location? Or did she and Trunks just get to the planet entirely off-screen and were simply hanging around there?

Super's music is one of the things that really improved across the series. Never forget Omen of Victory.

But yeah, by the Tournament of Power the soundtrack had become legitimately fantastic, with so many amazing tracks that really enhanced the battles and big moments.

So, apparently the song I think of as 17's theme is called Instant-Kill Battle (starts at 15:29)

Finished the dub version of Super episode 69 (all of you shut your yaps).

The guy I was watching it with hated it though. Also, it's hard to believe there's only ten episodes (well, now 7) between the end of the Future Trunks arc and the beginning of the next arc. It felt like much much longer to be honest.

I was underwhelmed by the crossover.

I don’t know it just kinda got lazy in the end as Goku & Arale stood around not really doing anything.

Plus I’m not sure what was so dangerous about her aside from punting a who started the fight Vegeta.

Were you referring to the OST in Super, or the Dragon Ball Heroes episode?

I'm excited for the baseball episode, too.

But seriously, can we talk about something that's really been bugging me? I've mentioned this before, but the song that is officially called Jiren's Theme is really weird. It sounds like the opening to Superman: The Animated Series, I can't remember it ever playing, and I can think of at least 2 or 3 other songs that seemed to play much more often when Jiren showed off. It starts at 35:30.
