Yep the tournament is definitely on Namek time.
20 minutes episode = 1 minute into the tournament
What the frick was Gohan doing? Tien uses a solar flare, Piccolo launches his Special Beam Cannon, Krillin gets off a destructo disk, Roshi launches a kamehameha, and Gohan shoots a generic ki blast. Generic Ki blasts never do any damage in Dragon Ball.

Aside from the fact you stated about never doing any damage, I think his generic blasts are basically as strong r stronger than all of those guys special moves except maybe Piccolo. Those two are really going to have eto carry that group.

It just irks me.
I can understand Goku, Vegeta, and Frieza ditching Gohan's plan but why did the Androids? Especially 18. It seems like they would have done a lot to raise the survivability of Gohan's group.

I thought the same thing, but they were created to destroy. They love this thing as much as Goku and Freiza.

The interesting thing they said in the episode is that you have to be knocked out of the ring to be eliminated. Being incapacitated or unconscious is not enough to eliminate you.
Yamcha would have been perfect for this tournament.

Looking forward to seeing Kale go female Broly. This is one hell of an ambitious undertaking for the series but I guess another arc of 1v1 or the group versus a big bad was going to be stale. It's fun to watch but ~20 minutes just isn't enough each week to keep track of what Vegeta, Frieza, the Androids, Gohan, and Goku are all doing. Plus, I want to see how the Trio de Dangres are eliminated, as well as Toppo and Universe 6. Just so many things going on with this kind of format and while it should make for engaging episodes, it's going to take a while to sort it all out.
I've seen some supposed spoilers on how it all ends. Anyone else seen the same?

This. We've waited a long time for this tournament to get started. Last night's episode was a letdown imo. It was decent, but I figured they would want to kick this thing off with a bang.

Was there a new episode last night on cartoon network?

If there was my DVR didn't record it.
Speaking of which, how is the English dub going to account for Goku's apparent reversion back to ignorant kid-like Goku that we're seeing with the Black and Universal Survival arcs? The original Japanese version can make it work with the voice acting givien the higher pitched female voice (still annoying as hell, but I digress) but I feel like they're going to need to re imagine some of the lines from the english sub version to keep the character consistent with the more serious, masculine sound he has in the english dub.

I have faith in Sean to know how to get it done

I hate U6's Saiyans. It took Goku and Vegeta extreme, emotionally draining, life threatening circumstances to reach SS, but that little a-hole Cabba can do it within 5 minutes of seeing it for the first time? And that bitch Cauliflower can do it by trying to make her back tingle? WTF is THAT? AND Kale just happens to be a legendary Super Saiyan? To top it off, Cabba, Caulifa, and Kale look like they were designed in the 90s by the staff of the Yugioh cartoon. For such a hugely popular internationally beloved franchise, the production values are at an all time low for this series.

Right? Like, if they're going to make them teenagers why not model them on future Trunks or the Androids? Why do they have to look like limp-armed knock-offs?
Also, Kale's transformation goes from being kind of legit to cringeworthy when she looks like Broly in drag. Seriously couldn't have put more effort into that look?

It does piss me off with Kale's transformation as well.
Dragon Ball has proved time and time again that size and bulk doesn't really mean shite in a fight. Look at Nappa compared to Vegeta, Recoome compared to Ginyu, 2nd form Frieza compared to Final Form, Semiperfect Cell compared to Perfect Cell, etc.
Why do they feel the need to just take Broly and give him a bra and call it a new character? Make a new design for a female Legendary Super Saiyan.

Just watched the new episode. Battle scenes were cool and all but that ending... damn.

Let the conspiracy theories commence. The Angels certainly seem to be up to no good. I don't know why I thought everyone would be allowed to stick around until the whole battle ended. That was just cold and quick

lots of people speculated, angels are up to no good. another theory is that the grand priest is zeno, etc.
as for this episode, that scene where the two zeno's x'd out the universe was intense.

Great episode. The fight scenes were really good and Frieza was awesome. The scene where dude just jumped off was hilarious. What do you do in that situation? Stay there and get tortured or just jump off and speed up your universe' erasure?
I'm one of those people. The Universe 9 angel looked menacing as hell after his Universe was erased. There's just something about the Grand Priest.
I don't think so. I do think he may have a brother or something along those lines. If you check out his bio, it says
I wonder who the other 4 fighters are? Assuming Zen-Oh is exempt. I'm sure these frickers are strong as shite.

The Great Priest is said to be one of the top 5 fighters of all the Universes. He's also without a doubt the most powerful Angel in the entire series. Whis himself, the most powerful fighter in Universe 7, admits that his power is nothing compared to the Great Priest. In the manga version of Dragon Ball Super, Whis adds that Great Priest is the strongest warrior in the multiverse, thereby standing above the other top four fighters. His power and authority is so high that both Supreme Kais and Gods of Destruction immediately kneel before him in respect. He is capable of bringing out the fear in Gods of Destruction shown when he caused Beerus to shrink back in fear and when he ordered Iwne, Arack and Liquiir (three Gods of Destruction) rebuild parts of the arena for the Tournament of Power after they severely damaged it.

It was kind of nice seeing Vegeta, Frieza, Goku, and 18 wipe out a whole squad like that...but man do I hate all the cuts to Zeno and the other guys.
It makes it feel like a kids show. (which I know it kind of is given the timeslot)

I loved how they continue to make frieza more diabolical. Usually he just kills them, but since he can't he just inflicts a ton of pain. Lol
