Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.
The Dragonball universe will never be safe until someone kills Zen-Oh Sama. Like him and the God of destruction are the biggest existential threats in the series.

I'm glad to see Gohan's brilliant plan of "stand around in a big group looking somewhere between terrified and lost" has already proven to be worth absolutely dick.

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.

Okay you can keep saying that it's canon but like, that doesn't excuse it being very bad writing. Which is kind of my original complaint. There's no actual reason for this alternate Zen-oh to care/not care about destroying the universes, because nothing actually happened to change what Zen-oh would do.

I mean Goku almost was thrown off the ring because he had no one to back him up and someone took him by surprise. All of the fighters in the circle are fine.

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.

Gohan's not even top 5 in his universe

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.

That's a child for you, after the Tournament of Power both of them are going to get god spinners and forget to erase the losing universes.

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

Possibly, but this is an anime where the timer is also explicitly linked to a giant pillar which has been described as being made of material which is definitely too strong for mortals to damage. I'd be surprised if said pillar doesn't end up getting cut in half or otherwise destroyed in such a way that the fight becomes indefinite until only one team remains. Alternately, there's a surprise anticlimax where someone hits the pillar hard enough to slam it into the ground early while their team is in the lead.

On another note, I guess the one wolf guy went from attempting to get revenge on Gohan as part of a coordinated attack to going after Goku as part of an entirely different coordinated attack within the span of a single minute without any real explanation as to why? Time dilation is going to get really weird.

GT is an awful series and no dub can ever fix it, but goddammit Mi Corazón Encantado is one of my favourite songs ever and I can listen to it at any point without feeling any sort of shame in knowing where it came from. The original Dan Dan Kokoro Hikareteku is great too, but Mi Corazón Encantado just has the perfect mix of being a genuinely great song and having all that nostalgia. I need to link to it and listen to it now.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omTC2DrY1yw

What an amazing song for an amazingly terrible series.

I'm nostalgia biased, what with it being the original language I watched it in, but the latin american dub does have really good opening/ending renditions. My personal favorite is Angeles Fuimos. Not only is it catchy but the lyrics are also very uplifting

edit: Adrian Barba is legendary, he even made an unnoficial fandub for Super's 2nd opening 3 months before the official latin dub for Super was announced. Dude is one of us.

That one that contrasted Goku and co. having a jovial feast in the present with Future Trunks and Mai being happy to have found, inside a half destroyed building, an unopened can of meat, talking about how grateful they were that it wasn't dog food this time.

Super is good y'all.

It's just going to be a yearly thing. Or every 5 years kinda thing. They'll do the tournament and in return they don't get wiped out. It could also factor in to universe rankings.

That's where I think all of this is ultimately going. It seems to me like the Grand Priest isn't evil and just wants to get everyone in line.

With this he gets to show Zeno that the universes are fun and worth keeping around even if some they involve some boring work and he gets to convince the gods to actually start doing their jobs instead of just bickering with each other since nothing short of threatening them with their own destruction seems like it will work. He's already taken an opportunity right before the tournament to humble the gods from the higher ranking universes by letting them fight and 'unexpectedly' break the arena in the process so that they would be fixing it in front of everyone else.

Zeno is fickle enough that the threat has some real weight and the Grand Priest is good enough at babysitting to ensure that never happens.

yea that's what I was thinking during this episode as well

it'd also set the stage for goku to lose at the end. hell, they could run a parallel to og dragon ball and have goku lose 2 tournaments before winning the last one at the end of the series
