Protecting your virginity



This was the Dragon Ballsiest episode and I really appreciated the callbacks in Krillin's fight with the scent thing and using an energy blast to ring back in. That said, RIP Krillin :( There was fierce competition for the title of Bald Yamcha with Roshi and Tien around, but now Krillin is confirmed for that spot. At least he and 18 got some cool moments in.

I loved all the other little touches like Frieza straight up saying "gently caress the Zen-Os, I'm gonna rule them someday", Supreme Kai's creepy face moment, Vados sassing Champa and Winnie the Pooh Voltron. This arc rules and I can't wait to see Kale next episode :allears:

Don't let Shin intimidate you, Krillin; that man is an incompetent pushover. Just put him in a headlock and noogie him into submission.

Krillin actually did a better job defending his universe in a couple minutes than the loving Creator God of it has since his first appearance.

I'll be excited to see ring outs that don't involve Universe 7 people tbh.

Also it looks like Hit and Jiren might go a few rounds before Kale loses her poo poo and Jiren gets onto her; he might be the second phase job here.

I still think Krillin is Yamcha-ier just because his primary roles are to be 1) the lowest tier of Z-Fighter jobber and 2) the male damsel in distress who only gets significant airtime to lose/die dramatically and set Goku off (this arc being the exception, of course). Tien is also in the lowest tier of jobber, but he just doesn't give off that helpless vibe Yamcha and Krillin do when they're outmatched. Speaking of jobbers, Z-fighter B team's turtle-up strategy has been boring so far and I hope that Piccolo gets to break away and do something cool besides be Gohan's meatshield.

Regarding the next episode I wouldn't be surprised if one of the U6 Saiyans gets a U7 Saiyan ringout next episode...Kale destroys Vegeta maybe? With the way Vegeta has been basically jacking himself off by calling himself "sama" he's practically begging to have a humiliating defeat. As he does.

Vegeta isn't going to get ringed out before he gets a big focus. He's too popular for it.

(Plus "Vegeta is basically jacking himself off" is 70% of vegeta's screentime.)

Piccolo loosed his weighing clothing this episode. While that means he is gonna get to do something soon, it also means he is getting closer to getting knocked out.

His humiliating defeat will be at the hands of Ribrianne because it's in the opening and also the best way to piss off reddit/the youtube comment section.

Man I seriously wanna see more of Ribrianne, I hope she's like the dark horse no one sees coming and can compete with Blue Vegeta. Though really I'm probably setting myself up for a disappointment and Roshi will take her down with a lame joke about how he doesn't like fat chicks.

Found a better quality video. In the previous version I thought 17 was 4 star and 18 was 5 star, but in this one it's a lot more clear that Krillin is 1, Piccolo is 2, 17 is 5, and Frieza is 7.

This leaves us with 3, 4 and 6 for 18, Roshi and Tien which are a wild guess.

Roshi is pretty hard to make out the stars, so his is probably 3.

Tien's seems to have a lot of stars, so his is probably 6. In the Buu opening it's much more apparent that his ball has a lot of stars and it doesn't seem like they switched them around since Buu had the 7 star. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R36zook2Rt8

18 getting 4 makes sense since 17 has 5. They will probably have a tag fight, 18 gets knocked out, 17 avengers her, and then gets knocked out too.

So tl;dr Krilin, Piccolo, Roshi, 18, 17, Tien, Frieza

I zoomed in. 18 has the 6 star. Tien has the 4 star.

Gohan has one hell of a wild card for himself.


As far as every other universe knows, he's only about as strong as one of the Furries from Universe 9. So, trash tier.


They don't know that he's already Gohaned himself back up to Gohan levels. He's also been sticking to his base form, and staying by a bunch of really weak fighters. So long as he plays it smart, he could catch some one extremely off guard, considering the only person in Universe 7 stronger than him is his dad at the moment. Maybe Freeza.

Goku and Freeza are about even. Most of the top fighters for U7 are pretty close in power.

Most likely, especially with the new ending with him fighting next to Goku.

I really really wish for a Goku & Gohan vs Jiren and Toppo. Does anyone have a spare monkey paw?

And for Vegeta it would be really cool and heartbreaking if Cabba is the last one standing from U6 and Vegeta is the one that has to knock him down.

Then while he is lamenting being responsible for the end of the Saiyan race, someone comes and knocks him off (extra points if Frieza)

I like that it gives the impression that the U6 team has been spending time together after the inter-universe tourney and baseball game and are more of a team now than just some random dudes that Champa scraped together last-second

like we've seen the saiyans hanging out and what Hit and Frost were up to, but Botamo and Magetta being pals is really good

Two possibilities there.

One: That's unfinished animation, and those characters haven't been finalized yet, and when it's put on blu-ray they'll edit in their faces and stuff.

Two: Turns out you CAN enter the tournament with less than ten people, and for whatever reason they've decided that's a better idea than filling those slots with randoms.

I don't really see anything in the preview that suggests that. Looks more like she just gets excited to see Goku's forms, like that one spoiler said.

Has it been confirmed anywhere if this



is Ganos or a girl from the same race as Ganos? Some websites have them listed as different characters. Since Ganos is a spy, the girl will probably turn out to be hiding in his shadow/some spy ninjutsu crap



Then there's Damon, who looks like a bug and Toei's website said he is a suicide bomber. Maybe his shadow from the opening is not up to scale and in reality he is just a tiny little bug that can explode with the power of a nuke. That would be cool.

I want to see more bullshit power. Where is the typical shonen intangible guy that can only be hit at the precise moment he phases into normal space to attack?
