| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Piccolo is the man! Well, I'm glad he got some spotlight this episode. Tien and his clones is also such a classic. I think he really improved since we've last saw him. I'm proud of Tien tbh despite him being eliminated. I mean, at least he really tried. Universe 7 down by 2 down. |
 |
| Piccolo forever Tien never! |
| Ah well, that was quite obvious that this would happen. Ah well down to 8 fighters. |
| Nothing in this world lasts forever, and it´s time you accept that. It's better to not cling to these things that you will eventually lose. |
| Uh oh they really going to make Fukkatsu no F blue version or v2 |
| Into the Internet! |
| Now I really want to see Dr. Rota's doctor ability lol Can't believe Toei used the same reason 2 in a row to eliminate U7 fighters (Tien and Krillin). I mean, I know they emphasized a lot on "not letting your guard down" before the tournament, but this is still excessively used. The elimination order theory of the dragon ball numbers from the opening is now disproved. Though now it is more likely the elimination order theory from the ending is correct. Excited to see how Vegeta will get thrown out. |
| A 4/10 episode for me... They only brought back Tien to eliminate him and I still don't know how the hell that (supposed) "katchin" that is even harder than U7 katchin brakes but what a hell... This is a show that by only existing doesn't make any sense! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 more things to mark here: 1. Even though they know that that sniper shot pierce the ground, they decide to take cover under a tiny rock instead of retreat... Gohan is not getting smart here... C'mon Gohan...  2. Naruto reference...  |

| A sniper battle... The idea was interesting but the execution maybe not much. Tien and the clone technique, a classic. And his elimination was kind of expected to be honest, he lasted a good while in the tournament after all xD At least he took Harmira with him. And poor dude from U6, we'll never know his ability lol By the way, I thought Prum and Harmira were the ace fighters from U2 since it was only shown their silhouettes when the team was first introduced but they ended being one of the early ones falling from that verse... I guess Brianne is the strongest after all and that doesn't guarantee safety to that verse xD |

THANKS SENPIEX  |
| I am glad there is more focus on other characters.... still feel krillin was trolled in the end... tien did great...it ridiculous that 32 minutes are left.... how the heck can only 13 minutes be passed |
 |
| thats pretty nostalgic move by tenshinhan, but he is still lame af. muten roshi is way better than him. and a lot of naruto runthere by picolo, gohan, tenshinhan, goku and even vegeta. the animators are so lazy at drawing moving arms while running smh |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| Just a little bit of action in this episode, the animation wasn't good too... I hope a better episode in the next week... |
| 『 』 |
| A little bit disappointed at Tien performance... finally next episode Frost shows his true colors…? |
 |
| Piccolo doing what Piccolo does best...taking a bullet for Gohan. and we never get to know about Dr Rota called Doctor's ability... well took them long enough for Frost and Frieza spotlight next episode, they were getting too quiet |
| This was a decent episode. The Gohan and Piccolo scenes were nice but I can't but feel like it was a waste that they just vanished halfway through even though the conflict of the episode started because of them being targeted. Tien did alright, a shame he didn't get an episode to himself like Krillin and even Roshi did but the apathy in regards to the writing for his character was pretty apparent. His moment was nice but it begs to question why he charged in a straight line rather than scattering to confuse his opponent and at that Piccolo could have used his clone technique to do the same thing Tien did. Goku and Vegeta were okay, they gave me a few good laughs so it wasn't a complete waste. Now Universe 6 and 7 are down to 8 and with things sure to pick up I'm sure the competitors in the tournament will start to dwindle down at a faster pace. I'm still disappointed at how dull most teamups for Universe 7 have been. They've played it way to safe with having typical teamups like Goku/Vegeta, Gohan/Piccolo, Krillin/18 and 17/18, they could and should have switched up the teamups. I'd have loved a Gohan/Vegeta teamup, 17/Piccolo and Frieza/just about anyone but the more episodes pass and the less likely most of those teamups appear to be. There has been speculation going around that the ending was giving a hint at the the order of elimination for Universe 7 and that Vegeta will be eliminated after Tien. Krillin and Tien's elimination seem more like a coincidence for now but if Vegeta really is next than that's sure to be hilarious. |
 |
| Animation was definitely weak/unfinished. Made me enjoy the episode less |
| I liked Picollo's and Gohan's strategic planning. So Picollo loses stamina each time he regenerates, seems like Buu has better regeneration. Anyway the episode itself felt rather slow but I liked that they decided to focus on ways to overcome the foe. The whole shooting beams to confuse the opponent since he'd be seeing too many heat sources. Tien did fairly well, would have liked to see more of him honestly since we hardly see much of him in the tournament. Vegeta at the end lol. Sends the Rota and the other one flying off the stage xD |
 |
| I'm all for focusing on the lesser characters if it's done well, like last week's episode. This one was just boring. The Dr guy got a laugh out of me though. We were never able to see what his ability was :( |
| Tien, the guy that made Semi-Perfect Cell his bitch, makes less of an impact than Krillin. Toppest Kek. Let's hope Toyataro remedies this injustice. |
 |
| welp Tienshinhan is weaker than Krillin and Master Roshi now |
| What an awful episode. The use of sniper started interesting at first, but then all of the characters in the episode were put in illogical performances that made me question who the hell edits the episodes. Goku and Vegeta throwing rocks in their base forms!? What? I know ki could not work as he was reflecting, but you can't tell me that their transformation would not let them evade those shots? Couldn't Goku transmission his ass over his opponent and knock him out with a punch? Piccolo was used just to cover Gohan's ass and he will ultimately be used as a catalyst for Gohan later on as well. Why do they keep doing this? Gohan fought since he was little, he has experience so why does everyone have to babysit his ass. Didn't Gohan say they should go solo, why is he sticking with Piccolo then... And don't get me started on Tien. Seriously, this is all they could have done with him? Clone himself, run towards the opponent like a madman, shoot Kikoho and that's it? Dude did not lay one single punch in entire tournament and they gave Roshi an whole episode where he eliminated THREE OPPONENTS by himself! Tien did not look like he could go all out. in fact he seemed to go down just like Krillin cuz' he let his guard down. Yeah, Tien got a shining moment. His fucking bold head shined while he was falling down. Next arc it's probably gonna be just Goku and Vegeta only anyway, so it's not like people want to see other characters have more fights for the last time or something.... The only thing I'm hoping for is that Toyotaro does something better in his manga. His writing and choreography has been a lot better then anime anway but, it all rides on the fact if he is a fan of the other characters to give them their moments. |
 |
| Haha that Dr. Rota from U6 was a fucking joke. And tbh I was disappointed by Tien, not that I really had high expectations, when he cornered his enemy I thought nice, at least he can have one moment of glory,tho, but they didn't even grant him that without taking him out. Next week we will see the most cunning person. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Last episode was really lit, then we get this. I enjoyed it, but so many things didnt make sense... Goku, and most of his friends can move at insane speeds, yet they struggle to take down a slow, 1-trick-pony. I understand the fight would end fast, but then at least make the opponents stronger. Beerus acknowledged Tien, while he took down only 2 enemies (one of them was combined attack with Muten Roshi), and was furious when Krillin took down 3 enemies and fell. How did Tien fall down, while the laser guy didn't, while Tien was farther away from the edge of the ring??? I wonder if Vegeta will be the next to fall off, since the ending has some sort of order. and I wonder how it's going to happen. He's like the 2nd or the 3rd strongest in the team, he must go down in a fierce fight! 32 minutes, and 36 combatants left btw. |
| it's normal episode |
| I wanted to see the ability of that doctor, Vegeta should have waited a bit. |
 |
| Really poor episode. Goku could have just used his instant transmission to get close and beat the crap out of him. |
| Decent episode overall. I really want to see how Frieza is doing. |
| Honestly, this was a boring episode. This arc keeps going up and down, I thought they would've padded out all the weaklings with that female Broly attack. Instead they are using tem for padding especially when Goku and co could've beat someone like this week's opponent in seconds. :| The Naruto style running made me laugh a bit here and there though. xD |
 |
| Poor Tien. I wish he do more in this tournament. At least he took one of rivals. Dr. Rota. WHAT IS YOUR SPECIAL ABILITY??? I NEED TO KNOW!!! Next tiame: Roshi vs frost demon. This is gonna be good. Go gramps! |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| Haven't seen much of frieza lately. |
 |
| Sigh, at least give Piccolo a decent fight, it will be super lame if he only gets thrown out because all his stamina is gone because of growing limbs back.... |
| Am I the only one getting bored of this arc? "32 minutes left" ... oh lawdy |
| WHY IS HE CALLED DOCTOR? WHAT IS HIS ABILITY? I NEED TO KNOW/s |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| Hmm not really much happened in this episode. Sure Piccolo and Tien got some screentime which was nice but overall it was kinda boring with this sniper and that weird mirror guy who could reflect KI attacks. But I had to laugh at Vegeta at the end when he blasted the Dr. and the reflect guy from the field because they were so annoying :D Next episode we will see Frost again. I hope it will be better as this episode. |
 |
| Is doctor Rota a doctor of medicine? What is his phd and his field of expertise? We'll probably never know. The episode was okay. The Clayman/Wobbuffett enemy was fine. Super however still suffers from its nostalgia milking nature. Pretty much every of the recent episodes is just a trivia game for the viewer to see if he still remembers this or that technique. Any other shonen fighting series is trying to introduce a new technique in its fights or come up with a clever way for the characters to overcome their enemies, while the really good ones actually bother with the writing and try to progress the plot in an interesting way, Super on the other hand only has the nostalgic fan service. |
Light-Yagami-God said: Haven't seen much of frieza lately. Yeah, seems the writers don't have much of an idea what to do with him throughout the entirety of the arc. He explicitly asked whether he is allowed to kill people in the tournament. You would assume he is looking to go berserk on his oponnents, but logically thinking, he must be slacking off in some lonely corner, considering the lack of fights he was involved in and the confirmed amount of already defeated fighters. |
| What was up with the Naruto dashes in this episode? Lol |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| I got early episode vibes from this episode... Hoping they get back on track next week. |
 |
| They should be ashamed of what they are doing with Tien. |
joe_g7 said: What was up with the Naruto dashes in this episode? Lol You mean Tien's Multi Form technique? Tien used it in original Dragon Ball already, when fighting Goku in the half finals of the 23rd world martial arts tournament. Most of the things happening in Super are throwbacks to original DB and Z. |
| I still can't help but feel this episode would have been a lot more interesting if they had more interesting interactions rather than playing it safe with Gohan/Piccolo and Goku/Vegeta. Those two interactions, the latter in particular, have become pretty uninteresting and dare I say, dull. It would have been a lot funner to see Vegeta and Piccolo having to throw rocks at people imo. Along with that rather than having Piccolo losing three arms in the span of a few in-universe second, it would have been more refreshing if it had been Goku showing off his battle smarts to get himself and Gohan out of that bind. It would have still been infuriating to see Gohan need to have his hand held throughout the episode but at least it would have been something different. In regards to Goku and battle smarts, it's still annoying how the only remotely smart battle tactic he's gotten to use throughout these the near dozen episodes that the ToP has gone on has been the SSG into SSB combo. |
| |
| I just hope that there will be a Hit vs Jiren battle. I know Jiren is stronger but Hit has time skip and gets stronger while fighting so it would be an interesting match to watch. |
 |
| No new episode this week. |
|
| The sniper battle had bad execution.. Gohan and Piccolo hide under rocks? -.- Goku and Vegeta nerfed for the plot, Toei hates Tien (I feel that it was too short and he only clones himself, attack and nothing more WTF toei), still Super has 2 on my score. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
