I doubt the manga will be much better, and it's sad, because WITH all the powers we've seen showcased to now, you really could have a seriously ugly battle royale forcing everyone to their think-tactical limits. There's been a lot of good stuff, but all the interesting ideas get handled by characters who act like they never thought about how to use their powers before, and do tremendously stupid poo poo.

I just watched the Kale/Caulifla/Kefla fight instead and it’s more fun to watch than bug person, chameleon, and projector.

Toyotaro seems more willing to have the characters getting beaten up than the anime which should hopefully make it seem a little less of a walk in the park.

if nothing else, I like to think that there won't be enough time/panels to show everyone getting knocked off so u7 probably won't end up with the majority of the elims

That could've been a nice touch. Throughout the tournament, they could've peppered in a few instances where u7 [or any other universe] knocks someone close to the edge, and the contestant mysteriously falls off, but nobody really has time to figure it out, 'cause they've got to quickly deal with the next threat, while Mouse GoD silently chuckles to himself. The tension could slowly build before u7 realizes that they have to deal with this weird situation. But oh well.

His body knows better than 'he' does. Does this surprise you?

He treats his fighting like he treats his friendships. Always open to someone/something new. Even if it's only to fight/meet them again. He keeps doing it. And most of the time it works. He's willing to put his body on the line to learn his or his opponent's limits. Which is....nice, but dangerous. Think of the Hit fiasco. He let himself 'die' to get an idea of his moveset.

Hit getting wrecked by Jiren because one of the U4 dumbasses accidentally freed him from his time prison would have been a way better ending to that fight.

That would require a Universe that is not Universe 7 accomplishing something or being important so that's a nonstarter.

It just hit me how incredibly conservative Freiza has been this entire match, the dude is going to slaughterhouse once it's down to his famous 5 minutes and the dilation kicks in

Even better that twice now Goku has stopped him from actually expending more power by holding him back

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
Freiza is probably at this point slightly weaker than Goku's base and on-par or stronger than Vegeta and hasn't even expended any energy into doing things in the tournament. I don't know whether or not Freiza will end up with Ultra Instinct like Goku or inevitably Vegeta will but I'm pretty sure his Gold form is probably matching Vegeta and Goku's SSB with less stamina loss.

Freiza already knows he can't beat Jiren and has committed himself to keeping his new Ginyu fresh to get the job done so he can steal the win for the wish

The Dragon Ball movie will be released in December of next year. It's going to revolve around the origin of the Saiyans and feature even more Saiyan characters. Toriyama is doing the script and character designs.

I wonder if this'll be a movie about Yamoshi. It seems it'd be the best way to get lore-heavy about the Saiyan race.

It's not like it's weird for Toriyama to suddenly add lore stuff that wasn't ever asked for, clearly wasn't actually thought through, and affects absolutely nothing (see: 17 and 18's real names, 16's reason for existing). But it'd be neat if the whole Yamoshi thing actually got properly shown.

Also here's Heroes' new trailer, featuring a whole three Vegetas.

if the new movie is about the original super saiyan legend, totally removed from the current dragonball stuff, that would honestly be kind of cool. im all about them expanding the world of dragonball with more stuff that can show up in games

plus it will give us a non-goku saiyan protagonist that isnt bardock. maybe he'll even have different looking hair

okay there is zero chance they're not going to have King Vegeta and Bardock fuse into Vegedock or whatever and he'll just be Vegito with a goatee and scar on his face. right? thats the only reason to bring king vegeta back in this context

If this is Yamoshi, it will indeed be a non-Goku Saiyan protagonist...because every view we had of Yamoshi made him look identical to Vegeta instead.

If it is the origin of the Saiyans, it'll be much before they take over Planet Vegeta, that happened only a few decades ago.

Planet Vegeta was named after Vegeta's dad, Vegeta, not after other predecessors that may also have been called Vegeta. Planet Sadala being destroyed and the Tuffle Genocide happened very recently in historical terms, only a generation or so ago.

If it shows the takeover of Planet Plant (later, Planet Vegeta) then the "other Goku" will just be Bardock.

EDIT: DB Wiki says that the Tuffle Genocide and takeover of Plant Vegeta happened on Age 730, only a mere 50 years ago.

Not yet, but he hasn't broken out of Time Breaker mind control. Once he does he'll probably go straight into Super Saiyan 3 since that's what Heroes likes.
