re: The Official DragonBall Thread....est 2012

hmm...Gohan was eliminated by Freiza and 18 and Roshi kind of sacrificed themselves.

But yeah that is the biggest disappointment in this whole saga. What is the point in introducing 12 universes if you are only going to focus on 3 and make everyone else just filler.

This could have easily been a 4 universe tournament and most of the fleshed out ideas could have still been in there.

well, Jiren could obviously mop the floor with all 4 fighters right now...but did Frieza resurface from that last blast?

Could you imagine Jiren knocking out the other 3 with like 30 seconds to spare then fails to find Freiza's unconscious body in the wreckage? (Can't just destroy everything for fear of getting eliminated)

It is almost like they made it a point not to show Frieza at the end.

or UI Gogeta....

Also, anyone notice they said only 4 minutes remaining?

Over/under on how many episodes this takes.

I say 2.5 episodes easily. No way they end the tournament on the next episode. So next is No.17 getting eliminated, then Goku/Vegeta pull out their trump card, followed by the finale.

I wouldn't be surprised if this gets more ridiculous than Freiza's 5 minutes before Namek explodes.

They have stated that episode 131 is the last episode of the arc, then they will shift their focus to the movie coming out in December.

Jiren will eliminate 17 and Vegeta but he and Goku will eliminate each other. Universe 7 wins since Jiren will forget about Frieza’s unconscious body on the side of the ring.

Just don't understand why 17 is there and not Gohan...

Probably because he hasn't trained in like a decade. No reason to make him into an elite fighter just like that.

I do wish this arc didn't have U6/U7/U11 eliminating everyone. I wish we had fights between the other universes and not just the actual main guys.

Sooo....Jiren is a little bit Luke Skywalker, a little bit Bruce Wayne,and a little bit Caine from Kung Fu??? And he basically couldn't give a shite less about the pride troopers....and we still don't know how he got so damn strong...unles ,maybe he is like thousands of years old, just think about how strong Goku would be in another 300-400 yrs...


They say his goal is ultimate strength, but isn't that Goku and Vegitas too?? That's all those guys live for and it's built into their genetics. And we still don't really know Jiren wish and we still don't really know how he can talk to Belmod psychically.

And as for 17, hell he's been the best pure fighter out of the entire U7 team followed closely by Vegeta....very impressive. And Frieza seems now to be a much weaker character than before.

Even without looking at spoilers it's obvious that fully mastered UI (offense and defense) Goku is coming and he and Jiren will fight to the finish. I just wish there was like 8 or 9 more episodes left and not 3 or 4 ...the timing on all this seems very weird. Even with the tourney ending, there's so many new characters it could easily go another year. Hopefully it's Just a hiatus though.

I was not pumped for Frieza. Resurrection of F was a disappointment to me. The TOP has redeemed him imo. He is a far more compelling character than Buu would have been.

I'm disappointed we didn't get Vegito or Gogeta. I get that fusion, for some, is played out. But man Vegito Blue is such a fun character.

Oh and two minutes left. Which continues the idea that each episode takes place in a minute. I would be interested to see someone speed up one of these episodes so that it actually only takes a minute.
