People have trouble literally reading the TEXT of a kids' show, because it's not even like that was just eluded to, Grande Padre outright says "yeah, we thought the winner would do this, otherwise EVERYONE WOULD GET DELETED."

If thats the expected outcome and they went forward with the tournament pretty sure that the erasures would be undone, how is that functionally any different from the TOP just bein a laff?

The universes getting erased was never a joke? Them getting destroyed was very real and if 17 had wished for anything else, they would have gotten erased too and that would be the end of it. The idea was that if the winner was a good person like they were expecting, then all the universes would be back, but not because the Zenos did it.

So does this mean that Zeno is actually omniscient? Can he see the future? The high priest said he foresaw the ending.

It was a test, they expected the possible winner to be selfless but otherwise everyone would get wiped out. Even if you read "oh sure they could read the future it was just wankery", which was never stated, it's not like the universes knew, so it'd at least foster a sense of selflessness into them.

edit: never stated outside of Zeno, who's basically not sayin' poo poo otherwise, I mean

GP just said that he knew he could count in U7.

He sensed the Protagonism emanating off of them.

While I agree, U7 itself improves through the Tournament. Goku completely abandons his ego and reaches levels beyond even the gods! Vegeta's feeling towards those he loves get even stronger! 17 leaves his materialism behind and embraces becoming a saviour! Freeza almost becomes a genuinely good person!

I don't know what the official translation of kaka says, but the translation Adrian Barba uses is about fighting and wining without ego, except for the joy of realizing how strong you have become

Ultimate Battle posted:

Ti-ti-ti-ti-time to fight
Sta-sta-sta-sta-stand above the rest
Jyan jyan byan byan the Ultimate Battle
Has no meaning, it is just fighting

I'm glad I got to meet amazing guys like you
Is it alright if I show off my strength?
Full power, breaking limits
From this point on, the Gods will watch in awe

Ti-ti-ti-ti-time to fight
Sta-sta-sta-sta-stand above the rest
Jyan jyan byan byan the Ultimate Battle
Se-se-se-se-seriously?
He-he-he-he-Heaven and Earth
Jyan jyan byan byan will burn in pillars of fire
There is no meaning, it is just fighting
Until ego turns to nothingness

When my fist goes astray, the sky breaks
When everything is destroyed, what is born?
One-hit kill ten million times
When my body is tattered and broken, where can I stop and rest?

Ti-ti-ti-ti-time to fight
Sta-sta-sta-sta-stand above the rest
Jyan jyan byan byan the Ultimate Battle
Ho-ho-ho-ho-how foolish
Ho-ho-ho-ho-how cruel
Jyan jyan byan byan I'll laugh at fate
When the Spirit Bomb is pushed to its limit
It will shine eternally

Existence awakened, limits reborn
Surpassing consciousness, the fight continues
Se-se-se-se-seriously?
He-he-he-he-Heaven and Earth
Jyan jyan byan byan will burn in pillars of fire

Ti-ti-ti-ti-time to fight
Sta-sta-sta-sta-stand above the rest
Jyan jyan byan byan the Ultimate Battle
Ho-ho-ho-ho-how foolish
Ho-ho-ho-ho-how cruel
Jyan jyan byan byan I'll laugh at fate
It has no meaning, it is just fighting
Until ego turns to nothingness

So it's absolutely about fighting without wishing for something concrete, leaving ego behind, just for the sake of the fight itself. Kind of grim honestly, but this is Dragon Ball, so it's the absolute of purity anyone should reach out for and it's very much Goku.txt.

Yeah and Barba's version also mentions how it's your turn to win the rematch because victory is on your mind and also how you'll protect the universe but they probably put that in because nothing loves anything the way Mexico loves Goku and of course he's the savior and protector of our universe

If Whis could do something about Frieza, then couldn't Champa request something from Vados to do something about the Namek's merging? That could easily solve their population problem. Considering that they would want to improve their mortal level, I'm sure they're willing to accept requests like these.

It is funny though how people here miss the most obvious things. Like straight up, said aloud, confirmed TEXT and some people still can't grasp it. Remember that big argument about whether flying was allowed in the ToP, despite it being stated outright that it wasn't and even showing a drat illustration if it not being allowed lol

Freeza literally grabbed Jiren and tried to fly him off the stage during the final episode. There were lots of other times (like Jiren meditating, etc) but that was the one the comes to mind first.

Freeza just had Goku launch him, though. He wasn't flying under his own power, he was just tackling/grappling Jiren.

The show was decent about having characters hold to the no flying rule, albeit it's still about characters who have ridiculous jumping abilities.

Yeah but Freeza did that whole "I'm going fast aura", it distinctly looked like he was propelling himself by some of his own power. Also Jiren made them veer to the side mid fall, isn't changing your direction mid air flying?!

Freeza should have flow around by using telekinesis on a piece of the stage, like Terra from Teen Titans:

Perhaps the same could be
Jiren changed their direction by being really strong, it wasn't flying. Same way he was stronger than time against Hit.

I remember being confused how little pieces of the stage weren't actually resting on anything and they just sort of floated there and then I thought about how when the stage was larger it was also just floating in the nothing and I accepted that easily enough then I got to thinking about if our own universe is just floating on top of a nothing and I decided really it wasn't that odd at all in the grand scheme of things.
