FTFY.

This episode just felt like it cemented who was winning this tournament. It's not U7 and it's not U11.

I've actually thought about the possibility of that being the whole twist of the arc and how Champa (or, you know, whoever gets the wish) will finally get to pay U7 back. I'd love for that to be the case.

Jiren is the best at everything. I really hope he won't disappoint.

We're 10 episodes too late for that.

The skinny saiyans I give little shits about.

Cabba's the only one who doesn't make the cut.

The fights were good this time around. I do also like seeing Super Saiyan God, but using the form like that felt kinda cheap to me. Not that it's surprising that they did it that way: this is Dragon Ball Super, after all.
 
Two times he could have saved stamina instead of going blue and he doesnt until now. Two times. He also could have against Zamasu as well seeing as SSJ2 was enough to handle him.

And super rarely explains shit after the fact.

There wasn't nearly as big a need for him to save any stamina in either of those cases. He had more than enough power in other forms to deal with his opponents, and in other cases, there was no downside to going straight to Blue. It wasn't a marathon, but a sprint in most cases so he went straight to his full power.

There was no need to conserve any stamina against Zamasu or Black. It was either defeat them now, or you don't. What's the point in dragging it out? Against Hit in the universe 6 vs 7 tournament, Goku had already clearly seen what Hit was capable of against a Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta. So once Goku had accustomed himself to Hit's style, he just went straight to what was at the time his full power. This is all pretty straightforward stuff. This has been the best opportunity for Goku to bring back this form.
 
Jiren's fighting style is waiting for others to attack him, he will fight when they come for him. It was established in the first episode of the tournament.
Is Dyspo slower than hit because he's time skip feint wouldn't work otherwise

Why wouldn't it? He's throwing a punch instead of a timeskip, so Dyspo ran himself into Hit's fist.
 
Fuck stamina, goku switching stances without punishment is hilarious to watch

Lets buff hit and nerf the pride trooper on half episode because reasons

The higlight of that episode was easily Champa, if U6 gets erased tears will be shed. Also, I'm not a fan of them adopting the whole quickly going in and out of SSG to SSGSS thing like the manga did. You would think there would be repercussions to your stamina/Ki from transforming like that, but apparently there isn't... Which begs the question, why wouldn't Goku and Vegeta just always do that from now on, and why haven't they before? I also think it's quite dumb how it seems that Hit just gets stronger on the fly, he did it against Goku and now against Dyspo.

I did find it funny how Champa referenced Dyspo's appearance, though (thankfully they didn't just pretend that these characters don't look similar).
Still doesn't really make sense, but whatever.

Hit doesn't bother me too much because they set this up in the U6 tournament arc that he improves the more he fights a strong opponent. .
 
So was SSG just kind of there, to let him keep his speed. In the manga, Goku uses it a lot but here, it just kind of happens with no build up or even an explanation how he can use it. This episode was cool but I can't help feel like SSG was brought in just to get around the energy drain of Blue, which I never really thought Goku had until they told us during the tournament. Hit is and will always be awesome, this episode proves it.

You would think. Saw the episode and loved it outside of Super Saiyan God being shoe-in, came here and saw people calling it boring, the worse episode so far, ect, and I'm like 'what'?

This fight showcase strategy and wit especially from Hit after fans patted Gohan on the back for his 'smart' battles, yet this was called boring.
I'm surprised to see people go so far as to call it that, as well. The episode had a lot of flaws, but it wasn't boring and it certainly was not the worst one yet. Aside from the annoyances I've already posted, I found it enjoyable enough. *shrugs*

Wait, seriously?

My mindset right now is Goku and Jiren knock each other out, and Caulfila and Gohan are the last 2, and either they tie, fighting in base because they used all their energy against Jiren, or one of them wins, either Caulifla to push the development of U7 helping Champa's universe, which started with Beerus wishing Champa's earth back, or Gohan wins, which is what fans want, Gohan being the last one standing.

I think Frost gets knocked out after Piccolo and 18 team up against him. Kale will get tortured by Frieza, pissing Caulifla off.

Or maybe U7 gets wiped and Super continues with trial and tribulations of U6?
Champa ftw!
