Impressive. Goku vs Jiren's rematch got intense as it could get. Unfortunately, it feels like he's still ahead of him. Gotta love 17 making his move though. He's no match against Jiren but he tries.

Interesting to see Jiren's past this episode!

I love 17's courage this episode. Even against someone like Jiren, he's not backing off.

oh wow Android 17 blow himself up to give recovery time for Goku and Vegeta

the backstory of Jiren is not that as complex as i expected, all his love ones died and that made him realize that strength is all that matters

I love Jiren backstory even though it is simple. However, Android 17 literally gave out his life to protect his comrades. Both got my heart. But Android 17 having to sacrifice himself for his comrades was a big blast. When I see characters or even people do that for their friends or allies. That is something to respect. As not a lot really does that.

Tbh I felt nothing with Jiren's back story. They were too late showing us this so I totally don't care for it at this point. Maybe if they'd shown us this earlier. 17 MVP of this whole arc. Let's hope they revive him with the db

Wow, I just love 17,what a guy. Even without this episode it wouldn't be too far stretched to call him U7s most reliable member,but his sacrifice left me speechless,truly the MVP.Respect.

Great episode overall and not just for 17,the fighting was pretty entertaining and Frieza surprised with his attack,was expecting him to stay in the backround till the end.

Only part I wasn't specially fond of was the reveal of Jirens past,most boring story ever,hope the manga is going to do a bit more with that. Also dunno why Belmod thinks it's the right time to tell some stories when there are only 3-4min left and U7 has still 4 fighters in the race.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

I'm surprised that they're just giving Jiren a flashback now. I can't be the only one that dislikes how 17 went out. Also judging from the next episode title, I'm assuming Vegeta is going to be eliminated.
Mankind knew that they cannot change society. So instead of reflecting on themselves, they blamed the beasts.

People say Goku's stamina problem is BS but Vegeta's is even worse. He got beaten by Jiren endless times, randomly pulled out a new form then able to freely transform without apparent drawbacks, used his "finishing move" Final Flash twice, used "self destruct" that supposedly drained all his stamina. Then after all that, he was able to transform back to the new blue form immediately, then get beaten yet again by Jiren all within like 3 minutes. And yet, he is in better shape than Goku at the end of the episode.

I accept the fact that Goku and Vegeta was able to get hundred times stronger in the tournament since they are saiyan, but for 17 to even be able to do anything against Jiren is absurd.

"That's enough out of you, Belmod" without any honorifics lol Jiren pays no respect to even his God of Destruction.

17 went out like a champ. He got much more shine than characters like Freiza and Gohan for a character with literally no buildup.

I can't believe I am actually feeling bad for Freiza lol

Overall, the episode was okay. Jiren is absolutely OP.

Hmm Jiren's past is sad yeah, specially considering his universe doesn't seem to have knowledge of Dragon Balls so death cannot be avoided. But still, showing that flashback this late... Sort of a bad move from the script imo xD

And man, Android 17... He was the true MVP of the tournament, standing as one of the best characters of the whole show.

I'm tired of this. The ultra Katchin supposed to be more resistant than any material in universes is far less resistant than... clothes??!!?!
They never bleed, they never faint (or 3 minutes max), they never get out of stamina. None of them could harm Jiren (even by surprise) and N°17 can. Golden frieza can not resist Jiren but N°17 can. Come on this is ridiculous...
The story of Jiren is even more superficial than Justin Bieber's one.
At least one thing sounds like Dragon ball (finally because with Vegeta I was so frustrated before..) ONE OF THEM HOPEFULLY DIED!!! N° 17 is definitively the most interesting character of this bull****arc.
Goku didn't use kaioken for minutes as they were fighting together. Vegeta recovered from a suicide in 1 second!!! This is nonsense.
Animation was pretty good but that cannot reduce what's going wrong!

Vegeta is way stronger now so maybe he knew he wasnt going to die with all that God Power he has.
The blood is mostly because they censor it I remember.
The Ultra Katchin can easily be broken by Goku, Vegeta, Jiren and Freeza, I guess the Clothes thing is a good point but sometimes these clothes are specially made from beings like Whis. And Vegeta didnt recover, hes just so strong now that he can keep going.

But just relax and enjoy, whats the point of getting triggered over small things like blood.

Wow they actually killed off Android 17. He did amazing, can't ask for more as he did a lot in the tournament than expected. Kudos to him for not backing down even if he knew the disadvantage they are in.
I thought they removed the bombs from the Androids way back in the Cell saga.
The flashback was interesting, it reminded me of the Goku Black arc. If only they had done that a bit earlier, maybe removed those meaningless episodes like the Potafu arc, it would have been at least a few more episodes of build up.

Jiren should really make sure Frieza is knocked out, that's twice already that Frieza has been sparred from elimination. It'll probably come back to haunt Jiren.
Those coordinated attacks were pretty good, that finger flick ki blast that gave an opening for Goku and Vegeta was quite impressive.

Overall I don't see how U7 can win, even if Goku goes UI. But well nonetheless the episode was amazing. Probably my favorite 17 episode, it showed his perseverance and determination.

Android 17 literally fight on the same level as Super Saiyan God. He have become way more powerful than some people may have not realized. He even went with out a bang. Considering your universe get erased if you lose, its almost surprising that no one thought of suicide attack until now.

Jiren's backstory may have been the most cliche backstory I ever hear. Didn't make me care about him at all.

With only 4 episodes to go I dont feel like DB Super was a good anime.

Sadly enough, Jiren "The ultimate enemy", was plain and boring.
His past doesnt match his character.

Universe 7 lost its MVP in the most epic blast. Though 17 will probably be revived alongside everyone else by the super dragon balls his sacrifice is still heartwarming. Hopefully we'll see Gogeta/Vegito/Ultra Instinct Goku.

I could see fusion being a possibility, because as they are right now and even if Goku does go Ultra Instinct again, they don't stand a chance otherwise.

Jiren's backstory is so goddamn unnatural, comes out of nowhere and is explained in less than a minute
goku and vegeta should've sacrificed themselves for 17 instead since all they can ever do is cry in their little pits like they're yamcha and lose all their strength after which in the next episode they fully power up again only to end up in pits again

Also don't even get me started on frieza, all I can do is cringe and not watch the screen when he's on

And as this arc and the show as a whole draws closer to its end, it all crumbles apart.

Vegeta up and back in his new form, mere seconds after using up all his energy on the final explosion from last episode. And then at it again in the next episode, going by the preview footage.
Android 17 fighting on equal footing against Jiren alongside Goku and Vegeta, and putting up a better fight against him than Frieza. Him being the first one in the entire tournament to actually hurt Jiren. (also, inb4 Android 17 hid himself between the rubble instead of self-destructing)
Jiren's power-up making no difference whatsoever. He doesn't appear to be any stronger than he was before he powered up to his maximum power.

I'll give a point for a decently action-packed episode, and finally revealing some of Jiren's backstory, but it's hard to enjoy these last episodes before Super is ending, with how badly written these episodes are.

This was such a dull, uninspired episode. At this point, DBS is just dragging itself to the finish line. And what's more, I'm pissed how they just decided to end 17's life just like that. Best warrior in the tournament without a doubt. But it all felt too heroic and meh. Fuck you, Super.

They had the chance to make Gohan cool again, but they chose to make C17 the MVP of this arc.

So when will Ultra Instinct be back? Maybe Vegeta will get it too? If Goku isnt using it anyway..

PS: So MAL set the ep counter to 131. I cant say Super was always enjoyable but overall it will be missed. Sloppy writing and zero connections between the arcs, but it still was Dragonball. (if not Z, it atleast had some original DB vibes to it)

PPS: Totally forgot Frieza was still there. And I forgot it while writing the comment again. GG Frieza, GG. Time to get gud.

How do you think 17 was brought back the last time? He's a modified human, not a 100% artificial machine like 16. So regular Shenron can bring him back.

Jiren's past sounds...underwhelming. Oh well, RiP 17, easily the best contestant in the ToP and probably the most useful. Next episode seems to hint at Vegeta going out, so I guess there goes the Vegito/Gogeta fusion potential aswell meaning it will boil down to UI Goku vs Jiren...and Frieza probably sneaking in somehow.

Nº 17 can't be traced by Ki sensing, so I think that's why he was able to hurt Jiren while catching him off-guard. Also, he survived for so long because he has infinite stamina. Nevertheless, the producers of the anime have given nº 17 such a ridiculous buffing ...

[EDIT] Overall, I agree with you that this arc lacks a lot of substance (and I'm not talking about the absence of blood).


The problem with all these details is that it feels very hard to sense any urge of saving the universe. They never seem to be tired so why worry? What made DBZ so special is the fact that they had to go to some extreme limits just to have a chance to blow a single powerful kikoho to a tremendously powerful opponent that always find ways to escape all plans. In DBS i never felt any real danger except in Zamasu arc.

Two other things :
Before first appearance of ultra instinct it was simply impossible to hit Jiren and after he released his full power everybody can???

And second one, gods of destruction have an energy far more powerful and invincible than goku and vegeta. Before this arc it's clear that only Frieza could seize it, but now Vegeta relativly easily beat Toppo's power. I can assume that Toppo is only Akaishin Apprentice but at the end he seems pretty weak.

This lacks of coherence does count a lot becuase it's simply not... epic. If Vegeta really is that strong then we shouldn't have to worry.

If the background of the precedent stories of DB and DBZ didn't exist and that all started with DBS I really think that DBS will only be an average anime. That's what makes me sad. I'm not raging at all but am deceived and disappointed.
