The downside of this episode is that it was really anticlimactic. I was worried Vegeta was going to be bitched by Jiren, but that was really the only tension.

Frieza hadn't gone Golden yet, Gohan hadn't gone Mystic. So to me neither of those fights are serious yet.

Dragonball relies way to much on fake outs during fights that on episodes like this it gets kind of annoying. I have never understood why so many fighters wait to go full power when they already know the other to an extent. I can buy Frieza not going Golden right away, because he thinks he can win in his final form. But Gohan knows Toppo gave Goku fits when he was Blue. No way does Gohan think his base form is stronger than SSB.

Rather than enjoying the fights (like I did with Vegeta/Jiren) I was waiting for the other fights to actually get serious.

I really feel like last night should've been 1 hour epside to really blow it out. It was nevertheless an incredible ep.,though.

But is Jiren really slowing as Vegeta said? It seems like he uses an incredible amount a energy in fighting and that's why he held back and meditated so much to try to self regain his strength.

Regardless, he's still clearly FAR more powerful than anyone left as they currently are.

The whole "beyond SSBlue" thing for Vegeta will be very interesting. I just hope he and Goku maintain different yet effective forms going forward.

In all fairness to what you posted, Frieza hasn't had a chance to go golden because Dyspo is non stop attacking him. It will be interesting to see how these other fights progress though.

I disagree. This episode delivered. This episode had a ton of action, looked beautiful, and built on what's to come.

Since when has Frieza ever rushed anything and Gohan still needs time. Imo, he has regained too much power in too little time.

Perfect Cell's color scheme is just awesome.... He was always my favorite big villain in the DB universe.

Why are they calling them Majin "boo"? Should be "buu".

Lots of Japanese games/merchandise have used "Boo". I know some of the subtitles use Boo, at least on the Funi DVD's. I spell it Buu.

Its incredible how far behind the dub is. I love the dub but I still couldn't help myself and went ahead with the subbed version just to see the story line. I still watch the dubbed versions when they come out, but they have been coming out excruciatingly slow.


The Japanese sub is on episode 123 and the dubbed version is on episode 46. I know originally the US dubs for the entire Dragon Ball series were 10 years behind, but with so much instant media its difficult to wait so long now. I wonder how long it takes the dub guys to do an episode.

I've been doing the same. Brian Drummond's Clone Vegeta

In 123, Vegeta's new form, it looks a lot like Ascended SSJ to me. Hair is a little more spiky than usual and he looks bulky. Didn't notice any loss in his speed, so idk. Was hoping they'd talk about it a little more than they did.

Something that's sort of bothered me about Vegeta for awhile now, and i'm sure its been brought up in fan circles, but how exactly did Vegeta achieve super saiyan blue? Its supposed to be the super saiyan of the super saiyan God form, and we already know Goku got it from the special ceremony, so how did Vegeta achieve it? Didn't it happen off screen?

P.S. I think the story-line/TOP is building up to an ultra instinct Vegito, but they definitely tanked Vegito in the Future Trunks Saga compared to what he was back in the Buu Saga (Really loved Vegito in the Buu Saga), so its hard to tell for sure. But it seems like they've been dropping hints in the dialogue since the golden Frieza arrival on earth.

speaking of Golden Frieza....if he is obviously stronger than Dyspo in base form...why the frick not just get rid of him?

I understand toying with him and whatnot...or is he waiting for Jiren to frick up Goku and Vegeta?

SSB is different from SSG from my understanding. SSG is from the ritual and has red hair/aura. SSB is merely harnessing God ki, but that does not refer to SSG ki, but rather the same ki that Beerus and Whiss has as gods.

Vegeta achieved that first and explained to Goku how to go blue. So it wouldn't be surprising that Vegeta has been mastering it. If I had to guess, Vegeta has learned how to keep his ki internal instead of letting it seep out. It has been noted that previously Goku and Vegeta were not as effective in using god ki as they could be.

It is similar to SSJ1. It loses a lot of ki and SSJ2 helped control that, sense why they could stay in SSJ2 form for extended periods of time.

So very likely we saw Vegeta go SSB2.

Yeah wish they would do two episodes Saturday every now and then. The tourney arc won't be reached until next year

Dragon Ball Super is coming to an end. Once the Tournament of Power arc ends with episode 131 on March 25th, we won't see new Dragon Ball content until December. That's when the 2018 Dragon Ball movie will hit theaters.
