I enjoyed the person with wings forgetting they could fly, and Krillin tossing a destructo disc haphazardly into a group of people in a no-kill tournament.

It may be a no-kill tournament, but you can certainly Frieza your opponent; it's Dragonball, everyone is crazy durable if they're not human

I love that neither Piccolo NOR Krillin thought to loving aim their attacks.

Their attacks that ONLY work if they get a direct hit.

Roshi at least has an actual beam. Tien dropped the regular solar flare. Wonder what he's going to think when Krillin shows off the Super Solar Flare though

All of that was 1 minute. That means...only 47 episodes to go until the tournament is over.

Protecting your virginity



I'm a little sad that B Team immediately grouped up to have less consiquential mini-fights just like the same group has, more or less, done since Dragonball. I was hoping for more solo action from some of those guys. Then again, this is the very first episode and a lot can still happen. Also 18 you ditched Krillin at the first opportunity, ice cold :stare:

Other observations - I'm surprised the furries actually held their own, was expecting them to job immediately. Also as interesting as Jiren is I really hope they can stop sucking Goku's cock long enough to give the side characters and new enemies time to breathe. So far so good, but I'd be happy with even less Goku Time. The sumo pig was fun and that orc looked like it was teleported in from Orgrimmar. Also Caulifla's voice actress is incredible :allears:

I'm glad that this tournament is clearly running on Namek Time because there are so many entertaining characters!

EDIT: mixed up Cabba and Caulifla

Well, if you think about it, he is unintentionally evil. Goku doesn't want to hurt innocent people and doesn't want to kill his opponents if he doesn't have to, but he loves battle and is motivated to it to a fault. That's his tragic flaw. Beerus acknowledges it in their second fight. Freeza and Goku acknowledge this when Goku recruits Freeza. And many supporting characters comment on it. To him, even though a googleplex worth of lives are at stake, he's enjoying it because all he wants is to fight strong people. It's not his fault Zen-oh sama is hosting the tournament, despite the blame he receives. In a way, Goku saved his own universe as Zen-oh sama was going to wipe all those universes anyway and only gave them a change to live because of Goku's suggestion. But, he does accept this as-is and is more interested in just fighting for fun than the repercussions of his actions. Goku is a man motivated solely by battle, for good and ill, and, to those who end up in the cross-fire, he is evil in their eyes. Hell, Freeza has 23 hours left to ruin Universe 7 after this tournament and that's all because Goku wanted to fight someone powerful.

To be fair, Poison wolf tied with Dad Form Gohan, Bergamo jobbed against Goku and Basil jobbed against Majin Buu, and even then he pushed him into getting serious which counts as an achivement in a way.

By no accounts were they weak, they just got pitted against some of the strongest of U7. Not every warrior from the Tournament is Gohan/Majin Buu level.

Honestly, I would be fine with this explanation if it weren't just straight up not true, considering the number of times we've gone into the future in different universes and everything was fine.

edit: Well, fine as in not literally everything was destroyed. The futures had their problems but they had nothing to do with Zen-oh.

And the only relevant deviation is that Goku is dead. Also we saw thousands of years in the future in U10, and things were still around just fine.

Goku:

- Had a fight with bird person
- Intensely stared at Toppo
- Intensely stared at Jiren
- Got hold and slowly dragged to the edge of the arena (slowly part reinforced by conversation)
- Had a small talk with Kai and Beerus

1 minute elapsed. We are way into Namek Time Dilation.

I mean they explicitly say this is the case in the show. Once during the the exhibition and once later on during the filler leading up to the tournament. So that's the shows actual take on things. From the horse's mouth basically.

And Zen-oh also said that he would hold the tournament, and he forgot incredibly quickly. I wouldn't doubt that he would just constantly forget to delete the bad universes for eternity of someone didn't have the guts to try and remind him.

TFRazorsaw posted:

And literally nothing that happens to the people of Earth matters in the eyes of Zen-oh. He doesn't even notice it. So the massive alteration of history only really extends as far as there being no one more powerful than Trunks on earth, so Babidi gets there much later and gets his rear end handed to him because there's not Vegeta to control and summon Buu. There's also no SSG, so Beerus never shows up. Because of that, Zen-oh never gets involved and he instead continues to gently caress around and not do anything of note until Goku comes along and summons him to take care of Zamasu. There's no reason to think this separate timeline at all affected anyone outside of U7 up until the Zamasu saga, considering none of the events that were changed had any relevance to anyone outside of it.

Nodosaur

Look, this is all moot. It's canon that whatever happens after history changes has no bearing on the timeline the time traveller came from, and it's a fundamental element of the Cell saga. Zen-oh's will has nothing to do with any of it, especially considering creating the alternate timeline caused an alternate version of Zen-oh to exist.
