So does Vegeta have Hulk Hogan strength solely from his gravity training? Cabba needs a gravity chamber for maximum back tingles

He just needs a massage chair, it'll vibrate and tingle his back so much he'll go Super Saiyan Blue in no time.

So is Kefla going to go Legendary 3 and get one good solid hit in on Jiren before popping apart and getting rung out, right

Though I wouldn't be surprised if there is a point coming where Cauli is gone and Kale has to actually fend for herself to keep U6 in the fight, teaching her real loving fast how to be confident

She'll have to do something to justify defusing before the tournament is over so ssj3 or other transformation is likely, and I have to assume that either Caulifla or Kale will be the last Universe 6 to lose because it'd just be strange for the rando namekians to be the last hope, so we'll hopefully get some more good fights

I'm telling you guys, those Namekian's snuck in their universe's Dragon Balls and are going to wish their team back into the match. Zen-oh will let it slide because their dragon is cool.

It'll be Champa's other other secret weapon.

I hope we get more episodes with this level of animation quality in the future because that was just nice to watch even beyond the episode's own writing.

Female Goku and Broly are so much better than their male counterparts and female Karoly, brief as her appearance was, did not disappoint. So good. Keep the U6 Saiyans forever, please.

Also this is very cute, Murata fanboying over Toriyama.

One thing I'll give the Super manga credit for is that it actually shows blood and stuff, makes the danger Goku and Vegeta are in during the fight with Zamasu come across better.

Isn't the lack of blood due to tv ratings in japan and then added in on the blurays?

They probably will. He's said repeatedly he wants to fight them again. He's perfectly willing to train someone up to get the great fight he craves. And they show as much potential as him.

I am praying to Christ that Vegeta gets something here, because being stuck at Blue level while everyone else catapults beyond is kind of dull

If you feel like going down a youtube rabbit hole there are some decent (as far as youtube goes) theories that he's got a trick up his sleeve. They mostly center around his reaction to Goku going UI being calmer, plus he seems to have an easier time tracking the fight, and that he's literally the only person ever to come out of Mafuba not exhausted and terrified.

Also apparently in episode 71 both he and Goku sort of teased attaining UI (Goku dodging Bulma's punch because he was too focused on tracking Hit, Vegeta's aura changing enough for Whis to take notice when he tried to calm his ki before getting angry again).

This is probably what going to happen. And they probably do a good job keeping up with Jiren until the last minute when they defuse and win over Universe 11 by having one more person.

I really want to see the Zenos try to erase Vegito. If Zamasu could tear open a rift to a dimension that doesn't exist full of evil Gokus no reason God Vegito can't ontology himself back into existence.

To be fair, three minutes is a really long time in Dragon Ball, especially under Namek Time as heavy as the one in the Tournament of Power.

The argument is that Goku never dodges her punches (which I assume is true because she even comments on this when he dodges) because they don't actually hurt, but because he wasn't thinking about it since he didn't even really notice she was there his body just dodged on its own accord.

Like it even does a special slow motion cut of him dodging it so...I dunno, makes sense to me. The Vegeta stuff is probably nerds looking to far into it but this specific instance definitely seemed to be important.

The real early UI hint was all the way back during the first fight between Goku and Beerus. Goku goes to attack Beerus when suddenly his body reels back on its own. Beerus praises Goku's instincts as he was about to counterattack, and Goku's body sensed it even though he couldn't consciously see the attack coming.

also Goku mysteriously canceling out Beerus's ultimate attack without knowing how, and then Whis discussing the concept of "fighting without thinking" during training at the beginning of RoF.
This was clearly something Toriyama already had in mind when he decided to bring back Dragon Ball and that's pretty cool.

It is really telling that every single mangaka basically worships toriyama.

I remember a breakdown someone made of just how good toriyama's pacing and drafting skills were, so it's not so surprising that he's so revered.
