Only problem with the subs is when I think I must know Japanese and I look down at my phone or go grab something really quick elsewhere in the room and miss important dialogue and have to rewind.

Also, besides just that; I feel like I have to rewatch the episodes because I'm too busy reading and I miss something. I was only watching the dubs, but after binging and catching up to the subs; I hardly notice anymore and prefer to keep up with the Japanese.

The Japanese voice actress for Bulma died this morning at the age of 57.

She has appeared in almost 500 episodes of the Dragon Ball series.

The Kefla thing is a joke... Even fused she should've been somewhere around Vegito circa the Buu saga... If that...

Instead, we got the 3rd strongest mortal character we've ever seen in the entirety of canon DB...

I'm just glad she didn't land a scratch on UI Goku...

And now next week we get a full episode of fricking Ribrianne....but at least I'm thinking this is universe's 2 last stand... I think they get erased soon.

I also think the Universe 6 Namekeians will play a huge factor going forward. I honestly think they might fuse with Piccolo therefore throwing a monkey wrench into the format. Then U-6 and 7 essentially act as 1 universe... Just a theory

This episode seemed necessary about three months ago. Fricking Ribrianne blowing up into the Stay-Puff marshmallow man was beyond stupid; and seriously her universe used rave quality glow sticks to power her up? Whatever, glad she's gone and the real fights can continue.

I'm just guessing that Goku will power up via fighting low level people again and eventually attain Ultra Instinct again to fight Jiren. It will be intriguing to see if Vegeta can attain it as well.There's only like 15-17 minutes left right?

But the more I watched it, the more I like the Japanese version of his character more and more.... Plus it's like 2 yrs ahead of the Dub.

Lol yeah, it's becoming hard to hold off. I just watch somewhat in the background a lot, like I'll be playing FIFA or something and I'll watch on my other tv while I play on my monitor so I know what's going on, but don't have to watch every second.

Eventually I'll probably sit down and push through all the subbed episodes once I hit a major cliffhanger in the dub.

Such a bittersweet episode. Easily a top 5 ToP episode.

Happy to see Nail and Kami make a brief appearance again.

Really happy to see Gohan actually kick some arse. That simultaneous Kamehameha was pretty sweet.

And Vegeta is pissed!

Only 19 fighters left and 4 universes left in the tournament.

Yeah, he was in one episode maybe a year or so ago...I don't really know where the dub is. But he is still with his roommate/boyfriend Yajirobe on his tower supplying Sensu beans.

I just really really hate the noises Goku makes in the sub when he is fighting.

Anyone in general makes annoying noises during the sub. The sub is interesting to see the general story line in order, but the dub has the chance to add entertaining personality to every scene, at least for me. I suppose that goes hand in hand with speaking the language being spoken by the characters.

I hated the fact that the Ribri-man was brought into this. Seriously, wtf? You beat up a bunch of cross dressers (not that there's anything wrong with that). I did like the simultaneous Kamehameha blast. This episode did have 5 people getting eliminated, while using up 2 minutes of the tournament. It is about to get real in this bitch though, as there are only 4 universes left and Vegeta is pissed because Goku has more knockouts than Vegeta (Making him the MVP, or person with the wish).
