I hope 17 also pays tribute to Krillin by using that Solar Flare x100 or whatever it was, the thing Krillin used before the tournament but not during.

Gohan has never been good and will never be good, he even made Videl lamer by association. Saiyaman was entertaining because it was Gohan acting like someone else entirely.

Considering how DBZ just gets made up as it goes along, there is so much that could have been done in retrospec to make Gohan more interesting. I like to think of a world where he shows up to every battle as saiyaman and they do the gimmick where everyone but Goku knows its him.

Maybe Gohan is just poo poo so you appreciate how much better Trunks is. Also it just occurred to me that Vegeta always called himself Prince even though he should have became King when his father died and Trunks is the actual Prince of all Saiyans and should have been named Vegeta.

Yamcha would have been knocked out right at the start of the tournament, then buried under some rumble during Kale's rampage and forgotten about until the time ran out.

Shoulda just challenged the other universes to a baseball tournament in the first place. There are even eight competitors, we could have had a proper bracket.

Yep, just as I thought: Dyspo cant hurt Freeza, not even when Freeza is in his fourth form. But it looks like Dyspo escaped before Freeza could finish him. My bet is that Dyspo, seeing that he cant beat Freeza, will have a go at Gohan and Freeza will help Gohan. But from the sound of next episode's title, Gohan might get knocked off. That would surprise me if Gohan got knocked off before 17, but it could happen.

Toppo still isnt going full-out yet so we'll see how that turns out.

Quote me later on this, 17 will be the last man standing and finally get his loving boat. This conclusion has been heavily foreshadowed. Screw the universes.

It won't happen but the Zen'os declaring that Gohan is not neat and thus not safe and proceed to instantly deleting him would be hilarious, at least for all the salty latin tears it would create.

Vegeta's all about the inferiority complex, never deciding to call himself king is probably part of that. As for Trunks Vegeta just didn't give a poo poo about him when he was born.

this question has me stumped

Seriously though, Gohan is my favorite character, and I didn't watch most of Buu, which hurts less when you root for him.

If they nail the whole concept where he chooses just to have a normal life instead of being like his bloodthirsty dad, i'm fine with it. With the tournament of power happening though, he learned that he needed to be better after getting hit in the chest once by a returning freeza and almost dying.

I'm cool with Gohan being a supporting character, even with the concept of him theoretically being the best if he just stopped doing what he wanted. You just know if he just decided to be like his dad, he'd be three times better. But he won't, so Goku is still star of the show

For Jiren... that is a simple punch.


Finally, the secret of his power is revealed: Jiren did 100 pushups, 100 squats, 100 situps, and a 10km run, Every. Single. Day.

Yamcha would still have somehow done better than Tien, he'd also have been knocked out by Jiren because that's Yamcha's job in tournament arcs

Seriously tho the assumption was Jiren was a stoic superman like figure but actually he's just a normal man who wanted to become a hero and became so strong that every fight is boring. His "Pride Trooper Name" is "Star Trek Uniform Baldy."

Revelry in the Dark

Gohan holding back because he didn't want to hurt 17 is such an obvious callback to the Cell Games it's not even funny. He'll get his own power up soon after 17 goes down in order to save him and he'll rage out

it's like you guys haven't watched Dragon Ball!!

also Vegeta powering all the way up inspired by the promise to his student was just great, and it shows what motivates him; Goku getting hit by a punch beam and going beyond the limit to Kaioken Blue also shows exactly who he is. subtle character moments like that are great

I like to think Jiren somehow knew where Goku got that Destructo Disc strategy from and got extra mad that he essentially almost got rung out by Krillin.

Also I know plenty of people have stolen the move, but is this the first time someone else actually said the name of the move?
