I'm glad all those Spoilers were fucking with us . Hyped episode. Great Artwork . Animation was quick at times but was still really cool to me.
What happened? I missed it.Holy shit.
The spoilers were wrong. Now we have no idea how
the fuck 131 is gonna end.
Also, who else thought Frieza blasted Goku in the back at first?
Great animation, same weak writing. Goku getting whupped, about to be eliminated, remembers his friends who he was already fighting for, gets another power boost, about to win runs out of power again (pulled the same thing as last arc with Vegito). They even made Jiren essentially a bad guy so people would just flat out root for Goku and not have conflicting emotions with both guys fighting for their lives and their universes.
Wasn't even really surprised to see 17 pop up. What they should have done was had Jiren after powering up eventually defeat Goku like when he had him in the crater, blast him out after some words for Goku's warrior nature, then he's saved and 17 and Frieza show up, or Goku gets eliminated and 17 and Frieza are still standing (even better as it's not the Goku show and it stressed not just counting on oneself as Goku's allies are the only ones left) just to stress the conflicting ideologies in the anime version with Goku having friends and allies to count on and Jiren only being able to count on himself. Then it would be a battered and bruised U7 vs. a battered and bruised Jiren.
I'm expecting to be disappointed with 131 unfortunately, but at least the manga is still going.
I hate being a downer and being sour so often in this thread lately, I just wanted soothing more than what we are getting.

I kind of thought that happened and I was ready to complain about it so it was nice that it wasn't the case. It was just a convenient plot device to weaken Goku right before he could end the fight at the perfect moment haha.
Yea, seriously. Pretty sure that it was against the rules. Frost got insta-erased when he tried to attack Frieza.so it’s ok Jiren tried to kill U7 in the stands? DQ his ass

would have been bad ass if all the angels made a force field to nullify the attackThey didn't even show Beerus' reaction or the Reaction from the Xenos and the Grand Priest.
English dub always put a bit more humanity into Goku and VegetaI wonder if Goku proclaiming that he wasn't a hero of justice was a dig at the original Funimation dub.
Yea, the dub was absurd with that. It kind of misses the point of his whole character. That speech he gave to Frieza was especially atrocious.English dub always put a bit more humanity into Goku and Vegeta
for example when Trunks is killed by Cell; in the Jap version Vegeta attacks because his pride is hurt by Gohan surpassing him. In the English on he actually cares about Trunks to avenge him. I don’t think Toriyama has a soul lol.
in the Jap version he comes across as even more of a dumbass. there really are only a few redeeming characteristics. he’s truly a reckless and selfish person so I can appreciate Sean Schemmel trying to put a bit of Superman into him with morality and honor.Yea, the dub was absurd with that. It kind of misses the point of his whole character. That speech he gave to Frieza was especially atrocious.
It preserves Ultra Instinct. Jiren reached a whole new level of Power but Goku was getting faster and his power was also elevating. But Goku has been facing way more opponents than Jiren has in the tourney and has taken way more damage. So even though the "Toll" on his body has plot timing in the context of things it's not too horrible a stretch.
