What if
Frost being erased
is a prelude to showing
how unpredictable Zeno are, when they erase every fighter in the stands/ the universes,
so the pace picks up. Only the Gods and angels are left.

So Roshi, Krillin, and Tien erased.

This is the terrible thing.

And this is why the U11 god tells Jiren to target Goku?

I really hope that doesn't happen because it'd confirm erased people returning afterwards which would remove any tension from the tournament.
 
poor Jimeze :(

and RIP Frost. Sucks that you didn't confront Piccolo but oh well

NEP:
maaaan why is Goku still fighting Ribrianne? Still in base form...
And welcome back Genkidama!

Krillin and Roshi show up in End of Z. So I have my doubts that this is true.

So..that NEP:
Goku's using the Spirit Bomb in Blue x 20 Kaioken? I thought you couldn't use a Spirit Bomb in Super Saiyan form whatsoever (unless it's already been made in which case it ca be controlled like in the Buu Saga). Then again, the Spirit Bomb as a technique has always been weird since it's somehow able to quantify good and evil as if they're not abstract concepts but a tangible, measurable quantity for an individual to possess.

The idea that he couldn't use the Genki Dama as a SSJ was only stated in the Android 13 movie, never in the manga or even the anime proper. Goku stated that he didn't need anger to turn into a SSJ anymore when he met Trunks, so the explanation from that movie (he can't use Genki Dama in SSJ because of its inherent anger which makes him not pure) doesn't really work.

Gohan is super confused right now, especially without Piccolo - where is he again? I hope that changes. It's sad to watch.

Doesn't make sense to me either. Could be kamehameha that looks like a genki dama.


Btw this ep sucked.

Weak episode. At least had some decent Frieza trolling. Good to see that Frost is gone for good (or for now anyways).

Got that One Piece special to look forward to next week now.

Gohan's display this episode was pretty pathetic

What's the point of having him in his ultimate form he doesn't even display a modicum of the strength that put him on par with Super Buu? He got worked by IT, but did he lose his reflexes? I'm not even a Gohan fanboy but his character in Super just depresses me.

He wasn't in ultimate against Jimmy and he was faking losing to Frieza.

He really needs to get the Fros treatment, gone for good... so useless and pathetic.

Really weak episode.

The premise revolves entirely around Frieza betraying Frost so why fight Gohan? If you need to trick someone, its assumed they have the same strength as you and thats why you have to trick them. Frieza can body Frost in base form ffs. And you cant even mention conserving stamina since he used Golden form against Gohan anyway.

The art was also atrocious for large parts of the episode.

For something that should've been a pivotal moment in the tournament, it was GT level executed.

Also lol @ people criticising Gohan. He was playing along the entire time. Everything that happened means nothing.
 
I don't get people on YouTube.

I try to find a stream and all I get are 3 minute videos titling the best parts of the episode. I can never go into these fresh. Fuck.

Streams are being shut down actually. If you want to watch type Dragon Ball Super 108 on Google and click on the first link.

Awesome!!

Freeza is on tricky bastard! Not sure how I feel about Gohan being used almost as test dummy for Freeza's plots though. It's like nothing at all changed from the Namek days :p

Frots got screwed hard both by Freeza AND the Zeno's. Loved it!

Finally........ DAT PREVIEW THO!! Straight fire!!!

Yeah I feel indifferent about what they were trying to pull off in the story here aside from Frost's permanent erasure. But hey, at least we got this cool shot of Ultimate Gohan:

Gohan should be able to take out Frost pretty easily, no need for games. It's ridiculous.
Also, he should defeat the yardart in ultimate form... Ultimate form is not that strong, thats it.
No where near SSB or even Golden Freeza.
Gohan really needs to step up, he has done nothing so far and he was supposed to be the strategist....

I don't mind the Frieza stuff. It's his fighting against Jimeze that was the issue, and it was really pathetic. What was the point of getting worked by a low level opponent? Frieza didn't even need to power up to take him out, and yet Gohan is forced to? It's silly, and a pretty blatant way of padding the episode out. Which ordinarily I don't mind, but it has the effect of making Gohan out to be a bigger loser than usual.

At least Frieza is amazing.

There was also Gohan getting wounded by the random robot (scratched and holding his arm after the explosion)...
 
Man.. What the fuck is wrong with me?

Why am I sad Frost got erased?

I should hate his guts for cheating Piccolo. I suppose he grew on me.

I refuse to believe he's gone for good.

You're sad? I would've been more sad if his original personality was his fake one. Now? Meh we have our freiza back and he's enough
 
Lol Gohan "I mustn't let my guard down" proceeds to let guard down and get hit repeatedly while never countering once

First half of the episode was pretty lame

What are you talking about? He finished off Universe 10 a few episodes ago.

You keep pushing this theory but there's no basis for it
