Re: RTT IV: All Hail Jiren The Gray
I expected freeza to troll Jiren, didn't expect 17 to still be alive. Seems kind of odd that no one else felt his presence...wait I forgot, you can not detect the androids energy.

Re: RTT IV: All Hail Jiren The Gray
DID NOT LIKE how Jiren was turned into what they turned him into. Made it really easy to root against him. damn sad and poor creativity on the writers... I mean, seriously? Goku or U7 is the only universe with good hearted beings? LOL... wtf... damn bunch of murderers... lol.
how is 17 still around? like why? LOL... he's getting more time than Vegeta and Gohan??? **** Christ! lol
ok, this ending isn't going to be in my likings, I already know. whatever, til next week. sloppy finish/direction IMO.

Jiren striking a blast at the stands is a cowards move and totally go against his character from what we've seen of him through this point. Terrible!

Re: RTT IV: All Hail Jiren The Gray
I kind of found what Jiren did to be out of character too, but maybe he knew Goku would deflect it?
Anyway, Jiren's strength is justice mantra was trending towards some questionable morality on his part. At least Goku admitted that he isn't a hero or anything like that. A rare moment of self awareness
He got beaten cleanly by Goku and got bailed out at the last second. Freeza should blasted both of them off of the stage and been done with it.

Re: RTT IV: All Hail Jiren The Gray
waitaminute i saw some folks bring this up and its a good point. Jiren should have been erased for attacking the crowd. Frost got erased for far less. Zeno literally makes **** up as they go along.

Re: RTT IV: All Hail Jiren The Gray
I don't know if Goku considers Freeza his friend...Freeza is still considerably way more evil than any of Goku's former foes turned friends. Everyone else has mellowed out over the years.
Beerus' worst crime was slapping Bulma, and even then he was holding back because he could have hit her way harder and killed her but he didn't. If that was Freeza, Cell, Kid Buu or Goku Black you know her head would have been taken off. Freeza is a genocidal maniac that will probably try to kill them all if he gets his life back...although I dunno if he wants any beef now, UItra Instinct Goku would kill him in seconds.

Re: RTT IV: All Hail Jiren The Gray
It was the wish I expected! not in the same delivery but the wish that should've been.
Still the whole Frieza/17 dynamic in the end made no sense for me but whatever its over...
The whole Zeno predicting that the winner would ask the universes to be brought back kinda deflated the whole gods/angels potential feud though...
all well, GT here we come.... slightly.... What color hair do they have in store for our heroes next?!?!?!? lol
They said to wait til after for something, was it the vegeta/goku chat? meh.... or the whole villain thing? what, they still do villains? LOL....today's anime villains are becoming less n less bad villainish...so idk... ha

Re: RTT IV: All Hail Jiren The Gray
Well, I actually did like the fact that the Zenos weren't erasing universes without any thought behind it, they had an end game in mind...that's something that I did not expect. the tournament of power was fanservice wank for him since he's an avatar for the audience who just wanted to see a story arc that was nothing but battle after battle.
i thought that the Zenos were just without a moral compass. knowing that they didn't really want to erase anyone, and left it up to the choice of the winner, made me like the Zeno character(s) even more, and the fact that the entire time they were rooting for their friend Goku to win since they knew that Goku would have done the same as Android 17. i dunno, i know people take it seriously critically but i loved the part where the Zenos dapped up Goku at the end.
i don't think Dragon Ball should be taken so seriously. it started out as a gag manga that turned into the forefather of battle manga and anime, but realistically its not something that should be judged critically versus better written series...that was never the intent and after 30 years or so, the idea still remains solid. at the end of the day, its not about heroes, or villains, i think the point that Toriyama is trying to express here in the later stage of his career as a creator is hey, no one is perfect. but we're all faced with choices...so just do the right thing. its a grounded message. If Goku won the ToP, he would have wished everyone back to life.
the fact that they held this tournament to see if "the mortals" that Zamasu and Goku Black hated so much would make the right decision when granted an ultimate wish versus saving millions of others imo tied the last story arc and the tournament of power together perfectly as far as the narrative goes. this was the correct ending for DragonBall Super.
if mortals (humans) were all truly trash, they would wish selfishly when granted a wish that could continue the lives of others. Android 17 could have been scum and just wished for a big ass boat, but in the end he did the right thing. i know that the ToP was not perfectly written, and had some real janky moments in it, but I liked the ending of it. 17 made the correct wish.
I also liked the fact that Goku and Freeza had to set aside their differences and they teamed up to take Jiren out. That was seriously bad ass seeing Goku and Freeza team up to defeat someone. in their base forms at that. no super saiyan, blue, god, ultra instinct or Golden Freeza. they beat Jiren in their base form. i can't wait to see what comes next. Jiren wants to fight Goku again, but knowing how things work out in dragon ball, Goku and Jiren will have to team up to battle someone even greater. and i am cool with that.
what surprised me the most though, is that Whis is literally a walking dragonball, which makes things interesting going forward.

Everyone would have been erased if I had won the ToP because I wouldn't have wished for the return of the Universes. I would have wished for this to never be able to happen ever again to try and sever the connection that Zeno's have with Universe 7.
Is that a selfish wish? No. Is it a wish that would have gotten everyone erased? Yes, hence why it's bull. Zeno might have had an endgame, but they're still amoral pieces of garbage.

All my T-Mobile heads, don't forget to redeem your free subscription to MLB.TV by Monday. You get every game in full HD on multiple devices(up to 10 iirc), it's usually $20 a month. Even if you're not a huge baseball fan, unless you hate the game it's free and obviously worth it.
