I'm not buying that excuse. It's just a poor attempt at creating tension/friction between Frieza and Gohan.



Ah thats a shame. Yeah I like the premise of characters who dont usually interact teaming up like Vegeta/Roshi and Frieza/Gohan but the latter wasn't executed the way I wanted. I would've preferred some exposition of Frieza telling Gohan he would betray Frost.
The way they pulled it off makes Gohan smart for figuring out the plan from the first hit at least.

It's funny because some of the stuff they've done with Gohan, the sniper episode specifically, didn't really need to feature him at all. 18 could easily have been the one pinned down by the sniper and nothing would have changed, except Piccolo losing arms.
It could have been 17 and 18 instead of Gohan and Piccolo.
 
Frost was going to betray Freiza until Freiza went Golden. He was charging up an attack but when Freiza went Golden he stopped because he realised that he couldnt beat him.
He stopped holding the blast because after seeing freeza beat on gohan he trusted him to be his ally

Looks like Vegeta is still dominating at 6 KOs and 3 Assists, and now the next closest is Freeza with 4 KOs and (of course) 0 assists.

U7 has the most KOs with 32(!!!)
U6 has the next with 12
U2 has 3
U9 & 11 have 1 each.
No one else has a KO.

All the universes think Goku is this big threat but it looks like Vegeta is the one putting in the most work.

I knew the number was absurd but this really puts it into perspective. What's the point of a battle royale if everyone outside of 6 and 7 isn't doing a thing.

Writers not being able to spread the action for everyone. I hope that after this Goku, Vegeta and Gohan focus on a single opponent each and the rest have more time to fight the remaining fighters, along with some much needed screen time.

In hindsight, 98 was a mistake.

One universe being completely wiped by U7 in one episoee, when U9 could have been taken out by multiple universes attacking them.

In general a battle royale was a mistake, but it's been handled better than I thought it would.

You're looking at this the absolute wrong way.

It's Goku Vegeta

or Goku Vegeta 18 17 Gohan Frieza

My preference is clear. Last year it would have been a 2 men team with the same results and you know it.

all this confirms is that U7 is indeed the most evil universe. they didn't hesitate. the bell rang and they started ending universes.
 
Now that the Frieza/Frost thing has been played out it feels like they are just going to play this tournament straight. No "I'm going to poke you in the side to steal your energy", or anything like that.

It'll be disappointing if they do play it straight.

Really? I think it's been handled a lot worse than I expected. I was hoping for massive brawls with other universes actually pulling their weight instead of U7 cleaning house.

I know its still not the meat of the arc so I can still end up really liking it overall if the ending is good. But atm its been kinda meh.

True. We've at least gotten away from that.
 
In all fairness to U7, most of these fights were not picked by U7. It's U7 being targeted by combatants from other universes. Using Roshi as an example, he's just strolling along and 3 different enemies pick a fight with him.

They are all "knock out U7 first, this is their fault!!!", and it's just backfired spectacularly.

I feel bad for U11. They're not attacking U7, but Goku keeps interfering anyway.

They're doing things right, Goku just gives no fucks. Was waiting for Goku to save discount Baby.

That will just mean Jiren will knock him out with his Serious series: serious punch when he tries

Actually that will be funny
 
I thought a bit about how Frost got played and ended up being erased. It was probably Freeza's plan all along. He's testing how far he can manipulate gods, and Zeno in particular. Imagine if he somehow gets to be "Zeno's second friend"?

I'd like 108 more if that was the case.

Right now it's a very flawed episode unless Frieza had a bigger picture motive like that.

Hold the fucking presses! Why the fuck did the Latam dub translate Final Flash into Resplandor Final? I mean, it is a literal translation, but why did they need to translate it?
And they didn't bother going with Cabba and are sticking with Kyabe... Fuck this shit I knew they'd ruin names again! Expecting something stupid like Black Goku now...
