I think most people here watch it on crunchyroll or funimation. Toonami gets it last but I've been watching. I thought the ending was a bit anticlimatic. The pacing was pretty good for the tournament in contrast to the fight with Buu from DBZ which was way too long and drawn out. The wish was obvious.
A few thoughts, why was universe 7 initially considered one of the weakest? They were in that pre tournament fight because they had one of the lowest average power levels.
Could they have brought back perfect Cell or does he not exist anymore since they destroyed every last atom?
Would Goten and Trunks have worked better than say Krillin and Master Roshi? Considering the tournament was 48 minutes and they could fuse for 30 minutes they would have been a formidable force. Krillin and Roshi do have a big edge in experience and battle smarts though.

Season finale and no one commenting?
Go back about a year or two and you'll see where most of us watched it live when it first aired in Japanese. We pretty much came to the consensus that the tournament was a little flawed with quite a few just ok episodes, but it also featured some of the best and coolest episodes maybe in the history of the show.
I watched bits and pieces of maybe about 10 episodes of the dub. Once they started referring to Toppo as "Top" and most everyone in Universe 11 had some kind of weird cheesy ghetto clown voice, I was out.

Probably because a lot of powerful races were wiped out by Frieza/Beerus. Saiyans, Namekians, etc.
Universe 7 was top heavy with the most powerful saiyans and the most powerful namekians alive. So even though the universe as a whole had a low mortal power level, their top obviously could stand with any universe.

Rumor is the artists dont like drawing cell, too much detail, but there has been noise about bringing him back in some capacity.

Yes, one of the many problems of super is what they've done to power levels and also personalities.
Goten and Trunks were powerful prodigies in the Buu saga and now have been relegated to idiot children in super. Just like Goku went from evolving personality with seriousness to complete idiot who just loves to fight.

I think Toriyama wanted these character back in the story after taking a back seat in Z.
Super is an attempt to bring a Z-esque narrative to a dragon ball level atmosphere. It largely doesnt work, but still a fun watch anyways.

Isn't Super only 2 years after Goku destroyed Buu? That's still 8 years before the final episode of Z.

Something I never thought of until now - how come Ginyu never stole Freeza's body?

I figured it's cuz he had too much respect for Frieza. Ginyu basically lived to suck off-I mean serve Frieza. It's possible he never desired true power himself, getting bosser around by Frieza was enough.
Originally in Z I theorized that Ginyu couldn't switch bodies with individuals who are significantly stronger than him. But Super kinda busted that myth.

I had a lot of catching up to do. Just now started watching Super. What did y'all think of the Future Trunks arc?
Posted on 10/11/19 at 1:15 am to QJenk
Frieza knows Ginyu can switch bodies, so it would be incredibly difficult to catch Frieza with it. If he fails, it is sure death so Ginyu would likely not try it unless he was somehow 100% sure. His body change likely moves at the speed of light, but characters in DBZ already had been shown to move even faster than that. Even in very close range if Frieza sees the light from the attack, he can react.
Well that, and Ginyu having to shout out the name of his attack would probably tip off Frieza too. Seriously, why did they always have to call out their attacks?

I am going through the tournament of power right now and good god this thing drags the frick on.

Yeah, I have absolutely no interest in watching the tournament stuff.

It wasn't power levels. It was universe level. Which is some kind of humanity test or something.
Wasn't about power level.
At least, in the sub.

Any reason why? It’s drug out, for sure, but I’ve still enjoyed it. Lots of older characters become relevant again which I’ve enjoyed.

The tournament was fantastic. Way better than Zamasu and Goku Black.

Just drags out and no evil bad guy to stop from destroying everything.

Which had way too much filler compared to the manga.

Tournament of Power definitely drags on but I liked it. The only thing I HATED about it was the universe with all the "love power" shite. I cringed watching those 4 episodes

The mythology of dragonballz.
So absolutely lame and stupid but I love it. Has there ever been a time in the history of the show where a khamehameha was used without also shouting the name as well.
