Why is 17 strong enough to survive against a god of destruction level opponent for longer than 2 seconds? Why does damage never mean anything? Toppo was damaged right? Yea, whatever. | ||

Are you really asking us to explain the physics of anime? | ||

I'm sure keeping frieza in the arena will have some impact in the end, even if it's a +1 fighter at the time limit Yep, 17 is gonna be last fighter eliminated. Everyone is gonna think its a tie at the end untill theyll hear frieza snoring somewhere on a rock. | ||

DB is a series in which a Green bug from the futur need to absorb two cyborg to dominate the world, it's a silly but fun kid show, not Anna Karenina. Character motivations isn't exactly DB forte. They set up God of destruction Topo, he was desperate, abandon his moral principle and decided to accept the destruction power, it's enough for me. | ||

'DBS is not Anna Karenina' sounds about right for a new signature. And yes, win by Frieza waking up OHOHOHO while the other four are godmoding it sounds like a less stupid ending scenario - just wondering why exactly Gohan was passed for 17 as last of the 'human' fighters, maybe his merch sales are still somehow strong enough. | ||

Obviously Frieza will be back to do some kind of critical distraction at the right time, like Vegeta did vs Perfect Cell. Still, as it currently stands, Jiren can still deal with both Goku and Vegeta and 17 can only run from Toppo. And DB is just not the kind of show where U7 actually gets to run out the timer so I'm curious what they're gonna pull to even things up (if not Fusion). | ||

Also, to all who feared for Super's future, I've dug up Bandai/Namco's financial statements here www.bandainamco.co.jp You can clearly see on page 2 DB's making a ton of money - it's litterally their golden goose. Between that and the fact Goku's been chosen as the mascot of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, we gonna get some DB for years to come. | ||

Thanks ! Let's put it this way : those earning numbers put the value of the Dragon Ball franchise somewhere between $5 and $15 billions. Last year, it made more money worldwide than One Piece, Naruto and Yo-Kai Watch combined. If they spun it off as an independent company, it would still be big enough to be in the bottom of the S&P 500 index. It's much bigger than any single person's decisions, except for Toriyama's, who is probably in the circa ~$100mln net worth range himself thanks to it, and now gives interviews in Forbes due to the show's popularity ( www.forbes.com ). Bottom line is, DB as a business really is flourishing. | ||

Out of all the fighters for Universe 7, he seems to be the one with the most common sense. He's not even trying to defeat Toppo, just trying to buy as much time so that they win when time runs out. At first I didn't care for him to be added, but he's grown on me a lot this arc. I loved how he interrupted a transformation because the people were wide open (rebrienne and other girls), I really enjoy how he's doing everything as smart as he can. Really impressed with how the writers made him this arc. | ||

must be time to give him another one then lol... i dont think they've shown the peak of any of toppo, jiren, vegeta or goku. beerus said that toppo hasn't mastered his GoD energy. duh he just tapped into it 2 seconds ago. vegeta seems to be getting massive powerups every couple episodes now. i dont think he has actually achieved Perfect SSB yet but he will next episode or the episode after goku hasn't perfected ultra instinct jiren is nowhere near showing his 100% jiren seemed like he wasn't very happy that toppo decided to go the GoD route, maybe something interesting will happen because of that? maybe they have goku and vegeta on the ropes but toppo goes too far and jiren eliminates him, robbing them of the chance to eliminate U7 before time runs out, and U11 loses with only jiren left but U7 still has vegeta and goku we could still see both the kaioshins of U7 and U11 toss in their potaras as well i think toppo will take out 17 and frieza next episode, the preview all but came out and said that was what is gonna happen. vegeta will get his final powerup and eliminate toppo. jiren will go to 100% and eliminate vegeta. then jiren will beat goku like a red headed stepchild for an episode or two before goku goes ultra instinct again. beerus or whis will say something that makes zero sense about how goku has perfected UI because something something and goku will win. there's only what 5 episodes left? or 6? business is about to pick up | ||
