But whatever. Toryama always!said!that what matered to him was having a interesthing plot and a reason to read the next week chapter. The inconsistency stuff was usual his editor and assintants reminding him. He obvisously didn't care much. And I say this while I still hold DB as my favorite manga, and I still think of DB as the best weekly serialised shounen manga. Only One Piece comes close, but I think that only after It finishes I would say if it was indeed better. And besides It's not like Oda didn't learn from Toryama. | ||

Though, I agree on the Frieza moment. He should've not been used yet. Seems like next episode is the typical Vegeta get's smacked around episode before it's GOKU-time. | ||

No, holy fuck this was a bad one. You thought the animation was shitty? :o, was really good imo, better than last episodes for sure. I do think the Freeza moment was really random. Glad I don't have your standards, specially when it comes to Super  | ||

Not quite as disappointed as I was with the end of Goku Black but still bad in a close-to-end episode. | ||

All life sacrifices for the sake of winning the dragon balls are completely worth it, afterall their wish is probably to bring back everyone killed by this tournament so vegeta can get back u6 and whoever they sac-ed Basically why did 17 have to self destruct, why are they even trying to fight jiren instead of evading his attacks and wait for him to open up/timer to run up. They just go all out on him and lose all their energy. If anything shouldnt dodging and saving energy be the primary goal atm, even at the end of this ep 17 sac himself so goku and vegeta could save some energy why isnt this the goal in the first place after all vegeta last ep just used up a ton of energy (i thought they said it was all his energy but w/e) Also jiren's backstory still doesnt make sense, i think we might get more of it later on because it doesnt explain shit atm, how is he so strong? sure a desire to want to be strong is good motivation but...is it just his race? Did they have super potential but were just content on being peaceful? Is jiren special? Did belmod give him powers after seeing his desire for strength? What is his wish? To be stronger, afterall there are more universes that could potentailly have people that are stronger than him, or is it to wish back his fallen comrades but that doesnt give him strength whats to stop someone stronger coming along and killing them again? That cant be all the backstory of jiren, its way too generic and retarded for someone who is pretty much stronger than gods | ||

That moment Frieza made me burst into laughter, it looked so stupid. But more important that Jirren backstory was insane, outside of the classic dragon ball move of "there's three minutes left to decide my existence, let me tell you about this guy childhood", the backstory in itself was so disapointing, so he's just a guy who's parents were killed? You can't build caracter developement with exposition, it's not a thing, we came from knowing nothing about the guy to apparently knowing his whole life goal in like a minute and a half. But my principal problem is with Jirren himself, he seems weaker and weaker every episode, ever since that Hit fight it's been all downhill for him. Noone was able to lay a fingher on him and now he dosen't even seems to be trying to dodge anything, and apparently his weakness is "lets hit him when he isn't blocking". The 17 part was alright tho, probably the best caracter of the tournament for me, in big part because he was the only one that the writer made their own (18 a bit to I guess), they took the liberty of making him evolve. | ||

Or are they saying without the energy from the self-destruct it wouldnt be able to neutralise jirens attack? In that case let the energy just hit goku and vegeta and he runs himself. If the energy isnt strong enough to kill goku or vegeta then shouldnt the shield have been enough i mean it even stayed after he blew himself up (plus theres always freeza) and even in the end vegeta and goku didnt fly off the arena they just fell down to a lower section (im totally lost on the arena structure it seems every which way there is a platform) All life sacrifices for the sake of winning the dragon balls are completely worth it, afterall their wish is probably to bring back everyone killed by this tournament so vegeta can get back u6 and whoever they sac-ed Basically why did 17 have to self destruct, why are they even trying to fight jiren instead of evading his attacks and wait for him to open up/timer to run up.

He shielded and gave Vegeta and Goku energy so they could continue as he knows they are the strongest fighters, and even if he is the smartest only they can beat Jiren. He did not let the blast kill him, or anyone else because it wouldn't have. Jiren is not dumb to make himself be eliminated. The only thing that atack would have done was get them out of the stage. And they are not dodgin Jiren and making time because that would be lame for an anime abbout fighting. Sure, it's the smart thing to do, but that simply can't happen. Jiren's backstory is pretty simple, and I do think and hope we get sightly more of it, however I don't understand why people are dissapointed in what we have so far. I think it's nice all things considered. A guy killed his family, then hefaced it and got pwned. That's basically Vegeta's story and I don't see anyone complaining. With a couple of differences: Joren did care about his family, unlike Vegeta. Jiren is in his heart a good hearted boy, so he felt betrayed when people didn't want to avenge his master or him. So he trained to get power (like goku, and vegeta, and everyone in the series) and to protect everyone. He saw that with power people would follow him. I think that's very interesting parallel to money. When you don't have money you dont have any friends, when you do everyone wants to be your friend. Money isn't important in the dragon ball world, but power is, so it works that way. Jiren is obsessed with power to fill the boid his past let him and he keeps chasing yesterday. His wish is either to ressurrect his family, or become the strongest being in existence. I think that's a good backstory for these kind of series. Of course there are a couple more details that I'd love to know, like who was this villian and why isnt he in the tournament of power? Did Jiren kill him? Other universe? GoD? EDIT: I agree that frieza was totally unnecessary. He's shown up just to get beaten in 10 seconds the last 3 episodes? | ||

Seems like next episode is the typical Vegeta get's smacked around episode before it's GOKU-time. He blew himself up to negate the attack | ||

It seems they unlocked a potential weakness in Jiren. They can fluster him with the right trash talk and he can be beaten (by mystery fighter). Freeza felt like fan service to his saga when he attacks goku with no hope of beating him. All-in-all I liked the episode | ||

Gripe in this episode for me is the spoiler in the preview. We knew that was coming anyway, but there was still some hope and anticipation. | ||
