Get real, are you saying you actually watch the foreplay when you're choking your chicken? Nobody does that. Everyone skips right to the juicy parts.

The problem with Dragon Ball Super is that nothing feels threatening. In DBZ, people were very close to being killed (e.g. fighting Nappa). I guess you could say Bulma died in the Black arc... That part was kind of cool.

Now it just feels like everything is "fun" and Goku wants to fight because it's "fun".


Think about all the build up to the androids. From the moment we knew androids were a threat, at what point was there a fight?

Now, I will admit that DBZ was downright superior storytelling. I am not denying that DBS is objectively worse. I am just pointing out that there is more to it than that. Toriyama is also clearly checking off some bucket list items, so to speak. A lot of things he always WANTED to happen, but things he knew were also fundamentally flawed.

If I may entertain some plot predictions: I think U7 is going to win, all the other universes destroyed. Actually destroyed. The remainder of DBS becomes GT'esque where the Z fighters are given reasons to explore the various, massively superior universes. I think the strong GoD, that lizard guy, ends up being the antagonist during one of these arcs.

EDIT: Another option: What if, of the 8 competing universes, 2 are merged within one of the 4 "dominant" universes?

We might not live that long to see that happen, but if it does, I'm holding you personally responsible and I will haunt you. Or your ghost. Can ghosts haunt other ghosts?


What part of my prediction is displeasing to you?

Your point would make more sense if the other universes weren't hyped up as stronger than U7. U7 was supposedly the weakest except for the universe with the foxes. Instead all of U7 except for Krillin is still alive while we see few character who are a threat to U7s warriors. I get that Goku, Vegeta and Gohan would stay until the end but the other fighters should at least have a lot mroe trouble than they do now. The confidence of the other universes is also nonsensical. They've already seen Goku vs Toppo and they still think they can compete while they're weak as fuck.

*average* power. This is well explained by Buu destroying our Kais and Freeza making a conscious effort to limit power levels across the universe. So not only did Buu destroy a lot of worlds, but Freeza did too. Then factor in the role that kais clearly play in developing power across their universe. For Zenoh, there's no reason to add nuance to the total power of a universe. But I really think the average is important to recognize.

U7 had two entities that destroyed U7's average power through suppression. Then Earth destroyed both of those things that brought the universe to its knees. Power in U7 is grossly condensed into a single planet. The fact that Goku is even able to spar with Beerus gives him extreme uniqueness, as we see in the Zamasu arc. We've always known Goku and Vegeta are distinct, even on a multi-verse level. They SHOULD be rolling through plebs.

Pretty much this. A GT joy ride through the remaining universes? They'll just put more emphasis on Goku and bring back Omega Super Dragon Shenlong Dragon. It's like a twilight zone. The only thing I have hope for, is that the dub fixes all of this mess, somehow.

Don't remember where I heard it but apparently U9 was so weak because Sidra, by the command of the Kaioshin, kept destroying powerful civilizations. Buu and Freeza did the same in U7. That could explain a lot.

Why even mention the average power level of a universe if not to hype their strength? It was an obvious plot point to hype up the tournament. He didn't do a lot with it and that's why people are now disappointed. First you hype it as a tournament with fighters on par with eachother but when the tournament starts they turn out to be fodder.

Like I said I get that Goku vegeta and Gohan are some of the strongest in all the universes but the andriods, Piccolo, master Roshi and Tien aren't even in danger at all. Even the weaker fighters in U7 don't have trouble in staying in the tournament. That's what removes a lot of the excitement and tension.

gotta agree with the last bit. Roshi, Tien and at least Piccolo should be having lots of trouble. At least knock out Roshi and Tien as well. Androids is debatable but they should be able to hold their own against I dunno, 70% of the fighters? Then Goku, Vegeta, Gohan and Freiza remaining till the end is not out of the question.

Power straight up seems to be the determining factor, there have been zero successful strats by any of the unvierses.

Also didnt picolo and gohan have something worked out....still havnt seen it.


Ya it's kind of dumb that right now except for Krillin the solution for every U7 problem was pretty much "lets punch them really hard".

I've been comparing the early tournament matches to booking pro-wrestling, when it's done right the mid card or lower card can still have awesome exciting matches telling a good story and that has been lacking in the early fights for the most part.

Well if there is one thing I would criticize about this arc so far is that I expected far better team strategies and action other than "gang up on this MF'er" , the arc is still on going and has long way forward , I hope to see more of that , the only valid argument for the theory that Gohan will get the V for U7 (or will survive until the end alongside goku) is that he is smart and will know how to play a battle royal unlike Goku and Vegeta who are pretty much 1v1 specialists , yes there has been some team action , but I want some more advanced tactics that would never have occurred otherwise , next episode we have goku and hit teaming up which will be fucking AWESOME ! but I'm still hoping for some more , especially with U7 and U6.

I am still hoping that Vegeta leading a U7 & U6 squad of saiyans against some other universe , reclaiming his position as prince of all saiyans in all dimensions ! that would be so epic and can you imagine a hit squad of Vegeta , Goku , Gohan , Kale , Califula and Cabba running rampant in this tournament ? now that is what I call the dream team , and it would mean so much for Vegeta's character , the prince who once lost his people leading them in the greatest fighting tournament of all time (for now).

As for the dream tag team....fuck goku and hit , we better see Frieza and Frost get some action soon !

Also.....another point , if super went out of their way to create a character homage to broly, they have a huge chance to do one for cooler through frost, cooler is popular as a movie villain too , since Frieza unlocked the golden form , i'd like to see frost unlocking cooler's 5th form in this tournament , I would seriously flood this planet with jizz if it happens.

Just the rambling thoughts of a fan , nothing much , DBS is awesome !

Honestly this doesn't look like the DBS style of artwork to me. It's a little more rough, in line with DBZ style.

Indeed. We've had this discussion multiple times now. If it's a spoiler just spoiler it. It's not much extra effort.
