Great episode so far. This episode had the most varied attacks from all fights, almost like watching a Naruto combats with all the jutsus.
Goku had some trouble fighting Ganos in his initial form but Master Roshi has beaten him besides 2 others. This confirms that he is not irrelevent and futile like many have expected, whether real persons or the ones in the tournament. Most of them were surprised by him exceeding his limits. This gives hope that he can stay much longer in the tournament thanks to his wits and force too.
The order in the credits still stands and isn't disproved yet.

The first elimination was a bit lame, and I wish the animation could have shown some more Chun-like choreography, but the ending was as poignant as it comes for DB, so it definitely treated him with respect.
Great episode! As a fan of the OG Dragon Ball, it was a great callback to better times.
How hilarious is it that at this stage of the tournament, with about two thirds to go, that Master Roshi has more 'kills' and 'assists' than anyone not from U7. Jiren is trash. Also, can someone remind me how Roshi's immortality works? I remember reading that he drank an Immortality elixir at some point in his life and that gave him eternal life as opposed to youth, which is how he's still alive given that he's over 400 years old. Is that right?
I imagine that had he died this episode, it would still have been possible to resurrect him with the Dragon Balls, given that his death would have been due to exhaustion in a battle, i.e. Tien vs Nappa, so the writers could have killed him if they wanted to.

That's why it won't happen tho
One? He got three wins in one episode.

Probably saving for some scene where Jiren lets loose and just eliminates pretty much everyone.
How mad are we going to be when this does not happen

And from your previous count, I don't think that Jium counts as assist. Roshi was the one who excluded him from the ring so it counts as elimination for him while an assist from both Gohan and Krilin. Eelectrifiying Preecho was an assist. So he got 4 eliminations and one assist.
I'm not saying he won't end up taking down a lot of people. But I'm beginning to think it won't be a situation where he takes the initiative and starts knocking out people on his own.

I can't believe Master Roshi didn't use his drunken technique yet. It's one of the most unpredictable fighting styles ever and no one in the other universes would guess his moves.
Maybe for the upcoming episodes.

He's still in.
Tenshinhan needs to job already so the order of the ending gets proven correct.

I think I found my biggest grip with this arc so far. Every episode and every fight felt so disjointed. Like seriously how big is the arena? How can Master Roshi gets so isolated from the others that literally the only universe 7 guy in the arena who notice Roshi's situation is Goku? And not to mention all the attacks going around, how does the others not get affected in some ways? None of this is explained or depicted.
Edit: I know it can be hard to animate bunch of people at once but c'mon surely they can put up a screen or two of updating the current situation of other fighters. Nothing, absolutely nothing in that aspect.

Naw, U3 gonna be one of the last. We have yet to see P Man in action!

Off topic, but I am so happy that Roshi will be part of the collaboration between Dragon Ball and One Piece:
Eventhough that a collaboration with One Punch Man would be more relevant (seeing Saitama's level which is within if not beyond Dragon Ball highest levels).

Only thing Gohan did was block a shot, not really much else. Meanwhile, Krillin at least injured Jium while Roshi did get the KO. Even for those who have kept up this pretty little picture had Jium's elimination in the say way: All be it that instead of "assists" I should start using the term "Team Wins" for when it takes two people to take out one or more people and that gets counted as half, to which that still places Roshi as the third best participant at the moment.
Mind you that The Preecho elimination definitely was an assist with Tien (Tien's only contribution to the Tournament at the moment), but outside of that, Roshi didn't really get any clean eliminations by himself before tonight's episode.

This episode was amazing but that's because I am huge Master Roshi fan, the ending gave me feels
On the other hand, characters from U4 are so hideous

Good episode, Roshi being treated well.
Lol at the nep though. So much for an episode without Goku.

We don't know yet, but who knows, maybe when the manga gets some success.
The stage have to be big to fit 80 fighters to begin with and have space. Plus, all these fights are happening in a span of 1 to 2 minutes.
They're already faced with erasing if they lose, so what's the point of 'raising the stalkes'? Especially when Roshi can be revived with the Namekian Dragon Balls. And Goku wouldn't take it anymore serious since, again, he's already faced with erasing if U7 loses.
Jimeze (the yardrat) is prolly getting to the end too, considering he, along with Brianne, eliminated one (1!) person

Yeah, hopefully they up the intensity soon. I'm desperate to see some huge fights.
I just realized that Universe 7 has the best looking Kaioshin!

U7/6 domination continues, when will these villains finally fall?
Good episode for Roshi, it was really great hearing the Turtle motto and his relationship with Goku and Krilliin.
