Is it better in the manga?

I liked Col. Silver's filler arc featuring Pilaf's flying fortress, even though it goes against his characterization as a low ranking thug. Muscle Tower's maze floor is an actual obstacle in the anime and gives us more interactions between Goku and Android 8 (the manga just skips it and I don't get why is it there in the first place). Some padded fights like the Pirate Robot's are better in the anime in my opinion.

On the other hand we have bad filler like Hasky's episode, Gen. Blue lusting over a little child and the regular boring padding so in my case it's hard to choose.

Episode was a bit too callbacks-as-plot for me.

17 held hostage with a remote, teleportation to King Kai, an obsession with motor vehicles, it all felt very dbz movie, like they didn't have any ideas of their own to fill up the episode.

Ah yes I remember the time in Dragonball Z where Goku and Android 17 met and teamed up and then worked together to save animals from space pirates. Truly nothing in this episode but thinly veiled rehashes of all those previous times Android 17 and Goku interacted with one another.

I don't think it hurt the episode overall, but it looked like they were trying to cram as many "hey look at this thing that 17 can very directly relate to for personal reasons" moments as they could.

It was a pretty weak episode though and definitely didn't warrant a two parter. The space pirates were lame as heck and didn't represent any threat at any point in the episode and the attempt to give 17 pathos with his angst over his nature preserve and the universe being erased just made him come off as a temperamental idiot, the only scene that delivered was Goku nonchalantly trying to use King Kai's planet as a dumping ground for exploding people again. Hopefully we'll only have another two or three more episodes to go before we get to the tournament now(?), I'm really starting to get antsy for this arc to start in proper.

I am looking forward to Tian being some sort of ultra human fighting god with some new insane power-up.

Deal with it.
The episode was meant to be a fun time adventure like Dragonball was originally where 17 and Goku work together to fight silly villains and have a comedic payoff. As a result we see a more human and humorous side of 17 who has mostly been threatening and serious in his other appearances, including the previous episode. If you rewatch the show in a year without the week long wait between episodes all building up to a major, yet to be seen event you probably won't mind the filler nearly as much and may appreciate the levity.

Jesus.

Yeah but the comedy was non existent (King Kai gag aside) and the plot no way warranted a two parter, it was just 45 minutes of 17 brooding and knocking down some cardboard cutout villains.

The 'filler' so far has been pretty cool for the most part and I've enjoyed the character development episodes but this plotline, specifically, sucked balls.

Like you can say you didn't like the comedy but the episode was mostly jokes, ranging from Android 17 and Goku arguing over who gets to fight the boss to Beerus' inexplicable panic-dream over Goku doing something stupid and getting himself killed.

I think if we, the viewers, had gotten to see 17's wife and kids, I would be more inclined to disagree with you. As it stands, it's in the weird position of being padded to hell and back with nothing to show for it.

All I'm saying is, that better be Chekhov's Minotaurosaurus or whatever. :colbert:

So I'm pretty sure Goku fully intends to wish everyone back once he wins the tournament, as that would be pretty quintessential Dragon Ball, but I have to wonder how Zeno would feel about his decision being undone right in front of him like that.

Also Goku isn't revealing this because he wants all the Universes to do their very best.

I hope this is what kicks off the "real" fight of this arc. Turns out Grand Priest is the one who really wants the universes destroyed and has been manipulating Zeno. He gets butt hurt that Goku fucks up his plan and sicks all 12 angels on Goku.

I'm guessing that the Grand Priest is basically the Supreme Kai of the Multiverse, while Zeno is the multiverse GoD. Since Kais seem to treat GoDs as their superiors in most of the universes we've seen
