I find it kinda funny how Tien's the only character to show up in his Super design.

Yamcha has his Super hair with his old gi.

Given Android 21's red hair and giant obvious wedding ring I'm betting she's a fully robotic android based on Gero's wife to go with 16 being a fully robotic android based on Gero's son

Trunks Super design shows up in one of the emotes. I am guessing lots of them will have their super outfits as skins.

Goku and Vegeta are also in their Super design since Super decided they just wear their Cell Saga outfits now, Yamcha's hair is long again in Super, and we've already seen 18 in her Super clothes in the story trailer.

Basically the only outlier is Trunks and this game's clearly going to involve time travel

e: Boy tonight's DBS is a whole lot of nothing

I was hoping Frost would have actually eliminated Vegeta there.

Christ what a lovely episode. And the preview for the next one doesn't look any better;

Instead of making actual challenges for Universes 6 and 7 in other universes the only challenge comes from infighting apparently, so rather then giving Gohan and Frezia a fight from someone from another Universe let's have them fight Each Other instead? What the gently caress. This tournament is so pointless.

The Jiren part was good though I suppose.

Tonight's episode was good. Beerus realizing that U4 had two "missing" fighters finally was excellent. The Frost/Roshi/Vegeta stuff was neat. Vegeta finally getting rid of Magetta was funny.

I actually liked this episode; I thought it was old school DBZ dramatic. I knew we were getting nothing but Roshi/Frost/Vegeta this ep and was surprised at the two eliminations that did happen.

the only problem was roshi falling for the incredibly obvious provocation from frost but that's pretty minor. overall it was good, tho it doesn't do anything to help the other universes not look like chumps

idk how I feel about the next episode preview tho. they better sell gohan attacking freeza early because it seems like a dumb idea at this point. yea, he's evil, but it's not like we didn't already know this, gohan. also hoping it spells out how freeza and frost working together even works when one of them is getting deleted at the end according to the rules. a gohan vs freeza fight could be cool tho and that's what's most important

Episode was good, coulda been great if dead weight Vegeta was finally cast aside like the trash he is. I guess they are saving his elimination for Jiren to look like hot poo poo or something

I got to play the Fighter Z beta tonight and it was frustrating at first. I might just be DarkSydePhil level incompetent but I don't think the game actually tells you how to play. After being trashed by enough high tier players I was finally paired with someone as lovely as I was and we learned together. I got to transform into Golden Freeza I got to shoot a SSJ3 kamehameha and dodge a super as 18 and do one of my own. The game's pretty fun once you learn it

The next episode is going to be the stupidest loving thing of the entire tournament and i hope goku steps in and slaps gohan like "you dumb idiot we know he's bad stop it. Because Gohan getting reprimanded by Goku for hitting Frieza would make it not as bad

Was it online multiplayer only? Arc Systems Works games usually have the best tutorials around.

I liked that episode, but at this point Vegeta refusing to admit he wants to save the rest/his universe is out of character.
In "normal" stakes it's fine for him to be standoffish but as a warrior in a fight for survival he should appreciate every man standing on his side. It would make perfect sense for his prince of all saiyans/warriors shtick.

That was a great episode. Frost-Magetta teamwork, Roshi-Vegeta teamwork, Beerus showing Roshi some respect.

They didn't want to play into the theory that eliminations follow the end credits showing of characters.

Not as strong as you'd expect.

It would have been more dramatic/interesting if Frost had succeeded, but was driven off with bottle-Vegeta in tow. Then there's a minor scramble to get him back in the game/perma-eliminate. This would get others in the mix also.

I'm kinda surprised Frost was able to work out how to reflect the Wave from first principles, though. Like, Piccolo did it, but he had his Demon King Piccolo's memories to work with....unless I'm misremembering who reflected it.

I'm going to say 'Jiren is possibly Raoh' now.

Well, he's a frieza race, aren't they incredibly durable? He could probably tear him limb from limb, throw the pieces off the side and they're still alive in a pile beside Champa, right?

Bloodthirsty Zeno-chan would probably clap and whistle with glee! It's so cool you're not dead Frost!

It was good to have some actual flavor added to Jiren in that the force coming from the punch itself, not the actual impact of his fist, that knocked out goo Baby robot. You need more of this to define Jiren's actual strength other than IS STRONG, but can punch so goddamn hard he can ring you out with wind from the punch is a good start in delving into his power and control.

Man, U6 is really showing up U7 in the team coordination department, huh?

I guess this episode and part of the next one are supposed to be happening at the same time, but I can't help but think that Goku went all "ROSHI!", tried to rush over, and completely forgot about him because he's got a strong opponent in front of him.

Josuke Higashikata

I don't think they're saying the experience of being Mafuba'd is horrifying, it's making a point that regardless of your power level, there are techniques that weaklings can do that regardless of who you are, can easily defeat you and that realisation fucks those dudes up.

No, no it totally is, look at what happens every single time someone gets caught in it

They end up screaming, panicking, and if they get out or survive, they're left gasping for air on their hands and knees looking mortified

No other tech really ends up with the same reaction as I've noticed when people get turned into a goddamn mountain dew containment wave flavor additive, but you're right in that it's neat it works on anyone

I want to watch an alt-universe version of Dragon Ball Z where, instead of training Gohan, Piccolo perfects the Mafuba and uses it to defeat every enemy from Nappa onwards.
