fuckin' called it, man
It's a Battle Royal with everyone fighting at the exact same time
Buu was visually angry at Gotenks beating him. Piccolo even pointed out that Buu hated having an equal.
my last post was bottom of the page but there's also this:
and...?
being angry doesn't mean you can't plan or waste time.
And on that line he also hated gohan even more since gohan was even stronger. And he clearly messed around with gohan to enact his plan.
I didn't know "Buu screwing around with Gotenks" was a point of debate tbh.

One of the stupidest thing about the future Trunks arc imo is that Zamasu destroyed the Super Dragon Balls before wishing for immortality on Black as well i mean he could manipulate time so it would be pretty easy for him to get the again so I have no fucking idea why he didn't do that

Wait didn't Zamasu wish for Gokus body
Then he went to Future Trunks timeline and that Zamasu got immorality right? They both got what the wanted.

Fine by me since we would still have Frost.
Maybe G. Black is worried that immortality​ will reduce a Saiyan's ability to power up when they dodge a death flag?

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
He trains like goku and vegeta does, shadow boxing, weight lifting, everything everybody else does already in the series, not grinding poachers, and I cant believe people say this with serious faces

That's precisely it.
not to mention the poachers werent just a guy with a shotgun but literally entire armies with tanks and aliens from other worlds. probably better than having hercule throw rocks at you

I just find this hilarious

I do think Super Buu was goofing off against Gotenks, but that's because he realized how childish Gotenks was and didn't view him as a real threat despite his strength. He wasn't faking damage, he just figured out that Gotenks wasn't putting in enough effort to finish the job. He does take it seriously later and doesn't make any ground.
I don't think he was goofing off at against Gohan. He wanted to win in a straight fight, but he was willing to rely on other methods if he couldn't. I don't think there's any point where he's faking damage, nor any point where it's necessary to use that to explain anything. Super Buu regenerates fully over like two manga panels of time and Gohan is taking his sweet time too.
In either case, I think there's some ambiguity because ambiguity is what Super Buu does. He doesn't make it clear what he's thinking or even how smart he is. He's the one Z villain who clearly plays to win.

He doesn't want to leave the island alone, so he's waiting for Goku to show up with Goten and Trunks.
Does Yamcha have infinite energy ?
That infinite energy could have gone either way. Just a stamina boost... Or actual unlimited potential.
Luckily for us, they picked, so we don't have to debate about which one it is.
But keep going at it with your poachers line dude. It adds a lot to the thread.

Perfect example of taking this shit too seriously

He wanted to make Gohan suffer. After killing him he wouldn't need Gotenks power anymore. He could also just absorb Gohan after the fusion time is up.
Because of how little we've seen him since his "debut" episode. I have the feeling we'll see him relegated to a background character until his "fight scene" in the tournament which will feel like an "oh yeah, 17 is fighting too" kind of thing.
"Super Saiyan Angel Super Saiyan Aka SS White
As others have already pointed out, this was explained in the anime. Black didn't want to be an immortal. He just wanted power and he thought he would become rusty if he couldn't die, look at Future Zamasu. He also didn't want to be bored fighting since being unable to die kills any challenges. And it is all because he took Goku's body.
The manga, however, never really explained this. The best we can guess from that version is that Black wouldn't get any near death boosts if he couldn't die and they needed the power of Goku's body since, as Goku pointed out to Future Zamasu, even immortality wouldn't have been enough to kill all the mortals.

It makes sense that we haven't seen him from a narrative stand point though.
Besides, he got a two parter and has had a lot of marketing push.

I don't really recall that explanation but I'll take your word for it, still sounds stupid as shit to me however regardless of his reasoning since he had a win button with those super dragon balls
Well, if you ever want to confirmed for yourself, it's Episode 58 where Black explains why he wants to be an immortal.
And it was shortsighted of Black, something that was reinforced by Merged Zamasu. However, Goku's body corrupted Black. There is actually a trope for this:
The Mind Is a Plaything of the Body
I was hoping we'd see him in the Tournament, but I'm not so sure now, I figured we would've seen him by now given everyone's recruiting.

So if GoDs can use Hakai instantly how in the hell can anyone beat them? Hakai is the most OP attack ever. An instant 1 hit kill that requires no time up and never misses.

Exactly.
When it comes to a GoD vs a GoD, it boils down to who gets the first shot in.
Also, I find it weird how Universe 9's GoD remarked about Goku's pressure when he went SSB. But later in a future episode, this GoD hakai's a city like it's nothing.
We don't see it used on on Gods and fast moving targets.
Also
except Goku in the next Beerus Black arc
Until Goku breaks his limits once again
Guessing Mortals aren't supposed to have God Ki so it surprised the other gods, espeially when it seems guys like Toppo was SSBtier because he was just that strong.

Plotkai is ultimate hakai.
By Brute force?
or is he going to piss Goku off
I thought that was Aizens and Ichigos Bankai

A instant unavoidable 1 hit kill is pretty different.
Zamasu was a god and got hakai'd. And i doubt it matters if they're moving or not.
Well meant other GoDs and he was grabbed by Beerus before he could do anything, we don't see anyone use it in a fight

I don't buy the Grand Priest theory and I also do not expect SSJB Gohan. He may tap into God Ki by some metric, but I don't expect blue hair for him.
17 is probable to sacrifice himself in some way. That, or we don't really ever see him again after this.

U6 Pilaf will show U7 Pilaf how to Pilaf properly!
I still don't think the have the nerve to do get rid of everything. It's in their best interest not to.
Ratings for latest episode is 4.9.
The ratings for this arc overall have been really poor tbh. They don't matter much and DBS kept its position in the ranking so that's what matters, but it's still interesting to see how things are going.
Guess people are waiting for this shit to start already.

Understandable. We're what, some 14-15 episodes in without much story development. While I'm enjoying this slow story/world building, outside of the exibition match, there hasn't been much "hype" stuff happening.
I'm sure that once the tournament starts the ratings will be better again (unless the animation goes to shit again >.>).
Don't dwell on the ratings too heavily. It was bound to go down during this in-between arc. I forget which companies financials I was reading the other day, but DB is more profitable than One Piece right now, second only to Gundam. If you were to look at the anime ratings, you would never expect any of that.
The grand priest foreshadowing is pretty heavy TBH. His face being evil-looking, him being the center on a lot of the promo art, etc
His mannerisms scream secretly evil IMO
I think something to this effect will happen. Either that or NO universes get destroyed, and at worst only non-important universes get destroyed. Too much world building and backstory for non U6 universes, just for them to be erased.
17 actually learned some Cell techniques, like the Super Kamehameha we saw in the intro
mid tournament, when almost all of U7 has been ringed out, he poops 7 mini 17s to help him
Jiren kills 8 mini 17s instantly
maybe the problem is that they announced super early who the team was gonna be (and the intro shows it too) so the whole recruit arc feels largely unnecessary
in the U6 tournament arc there's almost no recruitment arc. Only one episode where Goku goes ask Gohan and Gohan declines and then they were in business

Super Kamehameha is Goku's original technique in the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament against Piccolo Jr.
