what I wanna know is which thing that goku should already know will tien teach him by kicking his rear end

will he blow up the ring or will piccolo teach him that move. krillin already brought out the solar flare so that's tien's entire bag of useful tricks run dry

Multi-form obviously, the ultimate move for a guy in a battle royale that has to hold back for fear of killing people.

Tien will demonstrate what training for 20 years on its improvement has accomplished

If you want a picture of the future, imagine a small army of Tiens throwing down solar flare after solar flare along with dozens of afterimages each while spewing ki ko hos around like he was starting his own goddamn terraforming business onto Goku's face, forever

Tien has mastered Afterimage x 100. And like above said, all 100 can Solar Flare and ki ko hello at the same time.

Yes-It splits his power in 4.

Given Goku has been ORDERED to go all-out or risk his universe being vanished immediately, but he can't go all out due to potential death, this is perfect for him.

And remember the point is to blow them out of the ring. 'Make your own hole' and/or push them right out of bounds seems like a decent fit.

Yeah but I think a lot of this arc will end up showing Zeno that he WON'T get a good fight when it comes down to the last of the desperate, 200% adrenaline mode, exhausted, and borderline psychotic fighters who will be screaming their loved one's names to not die as they try to out-canny each other into divine execution like feral dogs. With this price on the line, there won't be any joy or moments like Hit and Goku or Vegeta and Cabba, the love of the fight and the duel, it'll just be ants scrambling to be the one cupped in the hands of God while his foot smashes the rest of them as the Grand Angel pours molten lead into their universe nests.

Somewhere in the afterlife beyond the afterlife, Zamasu gets a boner.

I mean has it ever really come up? the whole "it uses my life force" thing lost meaning when all he does with the attack is spam it to slightly inconvenience but otherwise not damage the current arc villain while at the same time never being affected by the loss of "life force"

Not since they had Senzu Beans as always on-hand Max Potions, but IIRC Tien died after using the Kikoho on Nappa.

After giving Buu two victories, I'm thinking he'll be an early Knock Out.

Slightly Absurd
Mar 22, 2004


Here's how I think it'll play out: most likely at least 1/3 of the contestants would be immediately gunning for Goku. Let them. While he's running around the edge of the arena, a troop of u7 fighters could easily pick off most of them. Tien might be collateral damage here.
Buu is likely to get rekt, because who cares. 17 will probably get rekt by some crazy threat to show how much of a threat they are [edit: probably Jiren.] Krillin will probably solar flare his way through at least 4-5 opponents, and then get ringed out by some sneak attack. 18'll make it through because she's pretty tourney savvy [edit: and by ringing out whoever took out Krillin.] Roshi will probably also make it through with some trickery.
Piccolo will get ringed out defending Gohan [but he'll defeat Frost.] Goku and Vegeta will probably both double ring out by Jiren and Girl Brolli. Gohan will probably beat the Pride Troop in a pose off/fight, and ultimately come through because Goku believes in him.

We've never actually seen Beerus fight super seriously. During Battle of Gods he was sandbagging the entire time, and even sandbagging he nearly blew up the universe by virtue of how hard he was punching Goku. He'd probably give Beerus a nice warmup, though, given that he was able to go pretty decently against SSB.

As an aside, I really love how Beerus can effectively flip flop between "lazy gluttonous idiot comic relief clown" and "terrifying menace" and have it actually stick, sometimes within the same scene.

What sort of magic is this? It sounds like the Funimation dub, but has the original score? Is that how they did Kai or something? I haven't watched any of that.
