Is anyone else disappointed 6 of the Pride Troopers jobbed so fast? Why didn't Jiren help any of them, he's worse than Goku when it comes to team play.
To be fair Kale fucked Blue Goku, and SSJ2 Caulifla, while not on par with that, is still strong.

They did push back LSSJ Kale and SSJ Caulifla. Not a small feat.

I liked it. Super up to now has been U7 fighters getting rekted nonstop, this was a nice change.

All this saving stamina stuff seems really weird to me considering the Z Fighters fought foes for longer than 48 minutes full out.

Have they though? They don't usually give the length of time that fights take.
Never forget the 5 minutes on Namek.

Against 1 strong opponent, maybe 2.

Goku vs Vegeta, Frieza (pre 5 minutes shenanigans), Kid Buu seemed like longer than 48 minutes to me. But then again, if the Grand Priest wouldn't have announced that the ToP was 48 minutes, I would definitely have thought it was way longer even by now.

But how long is it actually and how much is it just the anime stretching shit

I meant that when you're fighting a singlr strong opponent there's no problem in going all out, after you're done you're done. In this case there could be 40 more fuckers in line

The reason why they're saving stamina is not because time, it's to save power for the enemies that will demand their full power and energy, one after the other.

Were not even at half of the contestants down, I'd imagine the real all out fights would begin when they're 30 or less

How battle royale should have been, especially after all the other universes declared their hate for U7 after the exhibition match.. :(

not really because their designs were all awful and they looked like jobbers. like they were auditioning for the part of the ginew force and were rejected.

Everything you love and support about the series is non-canon material that's never, ever going to come back and if it did it won't be in a way that's similar to how it was in the past.

ssj4 aside. it sounds like he just meant like the actual fights...i.e. why isn't everyone ganging up on goku at once to try and eliminate him

The thing about Tails Akira said is a recessive gene. And thats probably why u6 does not have Tails, since they are more Pacific they never needed oozaru so the tail was lost, like human evolution. DBZ Charles Darwin.

That doesn't make any sense. If tails are a recessive gene, then Chi Chi has to be part saiyan since Gohan was born with one.

because that's not what he's doing right now
Except everyone he has fought, the show has introduced us to their world and personalities and where they come from?
The trio de danger
The pride troopers
Kale and Califu


Edit: and the fucking tournament started with an entire team ganging up on him.
They lost. I'm convinced some of you aren't watching the same show.

Power-up for piccolo incoming?
Please...?

Just look at how beautiful RoF outfits SSB Goku and Vegeta are, and it looks phenomenal on Vegito, even better than regular SS.

These outfits really need to make a return, they're glorious.

It's ok y'all, Garlic Jr.'s black mist got y'all. Deep down I know y'all believe GT is superior.

This is true, we know about who these people are and we took a look at their worlds.

Super's world building has been great for me.

To be fair some of the fighters might as well be with the focus they got

Not saying I would prefer no introduction

Sony makes consistent references to filler and non-canon stuff as examples of what made Dragon Ball great for him in comparison to Super (outside of his praise of SSJ4 today). That era of Dragon Ball will never return, ever. That's the point I'm trying to make. "It SHOULD be like this." is redundant when the examples you're showcasing have nothing to do with the basis of the series right now, which is Toriyama's involvement.

i meant all the universes. not just a few fodder guys. outside of u6...i don't recall any of the other universes having rapport with anyone in u7. everyone should be trying to murder goku and at least get that satisfaction even if in the end their universe goes poof. lol

We also just had the pride troopers try to single Goku out too before 17 & 18 saved his ass.

And?
Doesn't make for thrilling fights plus u6 have been doing well
Plus the pride troopers know each other
Besides it's dragon ball realism barely factors
I think the biggest issue is Goku being shoved in everywhere, Goku and Vegeta should not have been in half these fights. Krillin, 18, and 17 vs. U9 would have been far better than Goku and Vegeta vs. them.

Same for Roshi and Tien vs. the pride troopers. They're closer in power scale.

You'd think the gods would just have gone looking for former rivals or something but instead it seems their warriors are mostly people they never met before :/

Maybe they destroyed their rivals, like Beerus was originally going to do to Earth?

Praised be to Shenlong for that.

They were beating Caulifla up, so these two would have been instantly eliminated.

Am I wrong? The tournament has plenty of both.

I thought it was obvious he was talking about the hecticness of the action considering the gifs, not "who the people are".

I know that, but I'm on the other side of the fence where just watching cool stuff happen with no investment isn't fun. If I wanted to just watch Goku do cool stuff I'd look up YouTube videos of older clips which I already do plenty.
Hell, imagine if The Dark Tournament didn't bother giving the challenging teams personalities, the fights would be boring and just feel like filler until Tugoro.

First off, I don't care whatsoever what's canon and what isn't. I'm talking about the concepts. Second, I'm not talking about if being ganged up on, but how. Of course Goku got attacked my multiple threats. But Goku is being ganged up on in those gifs and I think it looks good because he's dodging everything. I would have appreciated if they did something similar to that where jobbers attack Goku and he dodges everything. For example, that brief moment where Cabba was attacked and he ringed the attackers out immediately. I simply enjoy seeing Shit like this:

Or this if you're so concerned about what's canon

Even threw in something for the Broly fans. ;)

Well fucking played :lol
