Phenomenally powerful, part of an organization of powered people, doesn't talk too much...there are some similarities

Saitama talks fairly often and is considered a weakling by the organisation of superheroes he’s a part of rather than their ace. I guess they’re both strong though, you are right about that incredibly unique similarity.

Jiren and Saitama are strong and bald, that's about it. Jiren clearly takes pride in being a pride trooper, Saitama is only in it because that's the one way to achieve fame as a hero. Everyone knows Jiren is a badass, whereas only a few realize how strong Saitama is.

Goku and Vegeta still can't teamwork... but Jiren is so trained that he is expecting them to and its throwing off his timing so he is getting smacked around?

Yes and I like it. It's kind of hilarious but a cool way to go about it.

Prince of All Sparkles is a great name and thank you for coming up with it. It feels like Vegeta perfected SSB and went up a level like SSB2 while Goku uses Kai Fist to update his power with another tech. But I guess Ultra Instinct is better than both and, really, Ultra Instinct Vegitto is the toptiest top tier. I'm guessing Jiren and UI Vegitto team up some time against a true ultra threat next major arc.

I like Gohan but sadly his best moment is either as Saiyaman or when he went SSJ2 at Cell and it is obvious he isn't going to get his moment here.

I do want some downtime with Bulma, Chi Chi, Gotenks and the gang for at least a couple episodes after this.

Okay that legitimately makes sense.

I wonder if Goku will even master Ultra Instinct by the end of the tournament. I know some people are saying the show's ending in March but there's enough content in this tournament alone to carry on to one more arc where they wrap everything up and he finally perfects it.

Seriously it's loving tedious. IMO Gohan actions since the start of the tournament fit perfectly within his characterization since the start of Z and out of all team 7 he's displayed the most empathy and humanity. That's why he's still doing things like balking at wrecking 17 even if it's for the greater good. Certainly it's a more interesting conflict than Goku's 'fight strong mans!' but everyone's still whining that Gohan isn't a brutal fighting machine despite, like, duh.

but imo part of what makes gohan great is that when he does decide to fight he absolutely does not gently caress around

instead of his dad's GOLLY WHAT AN EXCITING CHALLENGE he's like "i'm going to kill you"

i don't mind him in a strategist role though because that also fits into the previous statements, guy just does not like fighting

The problem is, this is not an accurate description of Gohan. What happened when he went Super Saiyan 2 against Cell? He hosed around and that got Goku killed. Then he did nothing for years, got a powerup for free, and then hosed around with Buu and got himself absorbed. As soon as he gets a powerup he lets it go to his head and he starts treating the fight as some kind of game, dude is way more like his father than people give him credit for.

A character that doesn't gently caress around in terms of fighting would be Future Trunks, a guy who is essentially a human that can go Super Saiyan.

future trunks is the only dragon ball fighter who doesn't gently caress around, gohan gets super cocky when he powers up and totally fucks poo poo up (like in the cell fight and in the super buu fight.)

that's true, but in those cases it's more that he wants his opponent to suffer than any real loving around

but yeah you have a point that trunks fits the bill more

That's like all filler. Trunks kills Frieza inside of one chapter

Only playing around was when he handed Cold his sword. And then instantly killed him after stopping the attack

This is the real reason people love Future Trunks.

When he gets a chance to off the bad guy, he takes it, every time. Him pasting the androids (and Cell) back in his own timeline was hella cathartic.

I mean treating fighting like a game doesn’t sound all that much like Goku either.
