honestly at this point I wouldn't mind that because the tournament is kinda dragging now. I wish they didn't feel the need to show every single person get eliminated, or at least that other universes were actually allowed to take people out

Also, I really liked the premise of this week's episode, cause it was pretty Jojo as gently caress, but I'm very disappointed in its execution. Tien running straight at a sniper is really stupid.

What the gently caress is this meant to mean? What's "intentions" to you? I'm really confused.

And yeah it was a bad episode. Tenshinhan is a bad character, thus, his focus episode is bad. Why did they bring him again? Is he popular with the POWER LEVEL crowd that still, somehow, thinks he's actually a threat and better than canon Strongest Earthling Krillin?

Like its impressive that they actually went full hog on the whole sniper aspect where a dude literally was both the guy's spotter and amplifier, but goddamn tien, is crane style now just step on the landmine to make sure no one else does?

Part of why this episode feels so weird is that those guys came from Universe 2.

They feel way more like they should have come from Robot universe from the way Blanka's arm guns seemed like add ons to the point that the second Fat Red Guy in this tournament absorbed and amplified power.

Brianne's an actual character it seems like, she's in the intro at least so she and her universe are probably safe from the great jobbing so I expect the Maji Kayo dude we saw in the next ep preview goes out next week and the rest of U3 are going to get cream crackered by Jiren when eventually chooses to do things.

They're the magical girl universe, so these guys were two monsters of the week. They tend to have weird powers.

i cant believe it but dragon ball super has made me dislike Tien and think he's a lame-o when I always used to like him. hes got a cool design and potentially cool powers and i think his kind of straight man personality can work well with others but he's just been made to be really ineffective and worst of all boring.

They were actual featured characters who showed up in the pre-tournament tournament and got an episode each so yeah, the trio de dangers are also notable characters.

I mean, could krillin really have done any better in that situation?

krillin didn't face tank a bunch of attacks (c'mon tien, you're not goku you can't pull this off)

he lost to a guy it looks like roshi might lose to next ep

tien probably would've been ohko by the blind fox. does he even have stinky shoe attack? or just a big dumb beam that doesn't hurt stuff and a technique that makes him suck even more

Tien's strongest power in this ep was having more eyes than everyone else so he can see where the laser beams are coming from or something.

The zenos' "wow that's so cool" declarations are coming off as increasingly desperate. But in their defence they've only seen half a dozen fights in their lifetimes. We the audience are a little more savvy.

in the end krillin and tien both got eliminated in their focus episodes, sure, but the difference is krillin got to be cool and effective in his while tien spent the whole thing running around like a jackass

they really should have taken this concept and ditched everything except gohan and piccolo figuring out how the sniper duo worked and then had them solve the problem (also keep the rota joke because that was pretty funny)

lowtax says theres too many subforums and they're using up all the server electricity. so he announces a tournament of posting for the 8 worst subforums, who must send teams of 10 posters. the loser subforums are deleted and their most common posters perma'd (also mods)

If this episode had been written like the preceding Roshi one then Tien would have been pinned down, used his third-eye-sight to see where the beams were coming from, blown up the platform reflection man was standing on with a Shin Excavator-Beam, and simultaneously grappled the sniper via his multiforms and multiarms. Then he would have almost died due to energy drain and been saved by gently caress idk Vegeta?

I'm glad it wasn't written like that because the Roshi episode was also bad (basically a puff-piece where he whomps baddies designed specifically for his powerset). But getting the whole crew involved like that just made everyone look dumb (except Goku who maybe was a bit smarter than average in this one).

It's been pretty cool the b-team have been getting their moments in the sun this arc and, imo, this last episode has been the only dud. I am however, ready for the main event to start and it would be nice to see the star players for each team actually fighting for real.
