I'm honestly kind of surprised how easy U7 has had it. Doesn't feel like Toriyama's typical approach, and makes the idea of there being something more to this arc beyond the tournament seem even more believable to me.
There are multiple cases before Super where Goku was willing to let someone go, including Frieza, even though they could become a big risk to everyone he cares about.
Good fights has always been a higher priority to Goku than the safety of his friends and loved ones, and right now he has many good fights to chase.

It warms my heart to see Gohan seriously fighting again. :') I never doubted the chosen one's return. I'm glad he's not home still being a family man (not that there's anything wrong with that, but yeah).
Oh he certainly does some stuff there.

This is gonna be a long arc. It's only been 10 minutes in universe.
You can't expect Goku Vegeta 17 and Gohan to lose right away. Come on.

Good.
No one wants to see Vegeta demeaned in such a manner. Now him jobbing out to a fat Magical Girl is another story.

Nah i think its gonna be the same 5 eps.
I can see them doing it because its an event (DB Super is in LATAM) and they want to get the people who might have missed it.
Or maybe its just a fuckup lol
Wait WTF is the schedule? I thought they'd be airing new episodes from Mon to Fri, then repeat them all on Saturday. I don't get it.
I readed is mon to Sat. Now im confused, i Will check this

Only one episode a week like the English dub?
Unpopular opinion, but with the main cast getting their ass kicked in most of the arcs in Super, I like that the U7 fighters are winning mostly with ease.
That'll change soon anyway.
To make it worse, when the previews came out for 90, they said Tien was using techniques that made him a threat.

Just when you think Tien can't be humiliated any worse than 89, episode 90 happens.It warms my heart to see Gohan seriously fighting again. :') I never doubted the chosen one's return. I'm glad he's not home still being a family man (not that there's anything wrong with that, but yeah).

6 Episodes per week its what the news is saying, only this week re-starts from episode 1
But maybe the site is wrong but i Checked 2 websites already

fuckin' called it, man
He didn't like, invent AF. He made a fan manga and used all the AF rumors as a basis.
He was certainly a threat to himself, using the Kikoho all willy-nilly.
Tien: "This is my only chance to win against Gohan. If I die he loses. After all, I've learned from the best."
Gohan beat Tien like he looked at Videl funny. I'm not even sure it counts as a fight.

Weird about the LA's schedule. Maybe it's like Eylos said but I'm sure the page claimed we were getting a marathon of the 5 episodes of the week on Saturday, huh.
BTW, they just revealed who'll be Champa's and Vados' voices. Champa's voice is Martín Soto (who has voiced Professor Utonium, Marvin the Martian and Keith from Yu-Gi-Oh) and Vados' voice is Romina Marroquín (Frozen's Anna, Zootopia's Judy Hopps, Amy Adams).
I'll wait to see how Soto does Champa but Marroquín is perfect for Vados IMO

17 was in af? I can't believe I never heard that before.
It was one of the most one-sided fights in Dragon Ball, but a fight nonetheless.
It's ironic, considering his most memorable Kikoho scenes are when you are seeing the toll it takes on him (i.e. Nappa and Cell).

I find the manga to make more sense too. I do think the Black arc is better in the anime up to the first return to the future after getting their asses kicked by Black the first time, but after that it falls apart and I prefer the manga ending simply because it's less stupid.

I think they straight up retconned that life sacrifice cost.
Yes he was. But Toyotaro gave up his manga before concluding it, and 17 didn't join the battle.
Knowing Toyotaro, you can safely assume he would have made it so that 17 can transform into Super 17 at will now, somehow. He had Gohan shit out ssj4 with no tail nor machine after all.

Seriously. After B-Dubs' post I was expecting my boy Tien to actually contribute. He out there looking like a training dummy. He's just way out of his league at the moment. I hope things change but I'm not holding my breath.
I thought you were cool, B-Dubs.
I think even Cartoon is a little Lost, nobody knew It would re-start only looking at the schedule to know that, then there's they Changed from 4 episodes to 5 on saturday.
Btw i Checked on Cartoon website the sixth episode is scheduled for monday, and there's no dragon ball on saturday on the schedule.
Lmao. Gohan taking out all his frustrations on Tenshinhan.

I read a little of Toyotarou's fan manga up until like the end of the first chapter where the main villian revealed Goku had an affair with a Supreme Kai, and he was their son.
I stopped there and never looked back.

Wut? That's just stupid. And they gave this guy the manga? No wonder it sucks.
Should have been Dragon Garow Lee.
I'm pretty sure there's something beyond the tournament going on too, yeah. That being said, U7 having it so easy reminds me strongly of the Otherworld Tournament filler where Goku had a trivial time all the way up to Pikkon. I guess it's just typical Toei at this point to play up the protagonists this hard.
I didn't say I expected that. What I would have liked would have been for them to play up other universes' abilities by showing them getting a bunch of knockouts instead of U7 taking them all. They started strong with U9 getting a surprising amount of attention and then ruined everything as soon as U7 became the focus.
U7 is the villain group of this story at this point. Straight-up. I can't root for them anymore.
Exactly.

It to this day, continues to baffle me. It doesn't help that a lot of the pages were plagiarized from the original manga.
Even all these years later, he can't help himself and manages to slip in his bad old habits into the current Super manga.

TTGo and the Powerpuff Girls reboot suck. Regular Show, Steven Universe and We Bare Bears are cool cartoons. Dunno what's up with Adventure Time these days.
Gumball is pretty funny as well.
I remember reading about this awhile back I didn't know toyo was the one that did it.

Yeah but guys the last chapter has Broly coming back because they need a certain amount of Saiyans for something.
It wasn't to make a god but it definitely was stupid

Still expecting the tournament to be interrupted somehow

17 has a really cool theme, it's been stuck in my head all day
Future Zeno is Zamasu. I believe.
Same.
There's no way all of those universes are getting eliminated permanently. Too many good character designs going to waste in that case.
Either the tournament is interrupted and not finished, or they actually go all the way to the finish and in the end the Zenohs bring back all the eliminated universes.

I agree.
IDK if they can wish back universes or not and I'm DAMN sure U6 is gonna stick around for future arcs so no way they're gone gone.
What I think is that someone will confront the Zenos and instigate a conflict between them, they will disagree and as the spoiled pos all powerful characters they are they will destroy each other. Enter the GP as the next big bad as apparently he wants fewer universes.
So either someone wins and wishes for all the verses to merge (so Zeno gets fewer universes to deal with and all these amazing fighters get to live on in a forever cross over movie ... yay!) or the whole thing ends by something bigger taking center stage.
Maybe some angels KNOW their universes are garbage and after being freed from a certain amount they go "ok, time to flip the table on this Zeno shit. He trimmed enuff fat for us"
