That episode was pretty great. Hit was my favorite character coming into the tournament and the dude went out like a champ. He and Goku were the only ones Jiren deemed worthy of personally fighting which is pretty cool and makes it sting less to know that we won't be seeing him fight in the tournament anymore. His moment with Champa was really well done. Without Hit I am no longer sure Universe 6 can survive until the end. I am going to be really fucking bummed if they go.

Also, as others have said, it was nice to see this episode actually feel like a battle royal with lots of shit going on concurrently. I wouldn't have minded an episode of Hit holding Jiren while the U6 Sayins defended Hit from Toppo and the rabbit. That said, I do appreciate the fairly quick pace they have been moving at in this tournament. Compared to One Piece which is currently crawling at the most painfully slow speed ever it is fucking amazing.

I hope they have something more interesting planned for the finale then just Jiren vs Goku round 2, Goku wins because he punches harder.

What is important to me is how Goku had no thank yous, smiles or anything nice whatsoever to give to Freiza after giving him energy, making it clear that they're still enemies.

I think Goku can tell there's an alterior motive there somewhere. One, because he's Freeza, and two, because of the way he worded it. Dude really wants that wish xD

On a side note, I still do not like the way Jiren is drawn. Just looks odd.

Man oh man the worst thing about getting into super has been getting introduced to the word 'jobber'. It's already bad enough we are watching a kids show, lets not regress and say 'jobber' which is the worst word I have heard in some time.

Is it even a word or some slang which has been made up?

It's just that Goku knows he's the main character and for the sake of the show, someone was gonna power him up. He's probably upset Freiza did it, Zeno could have had him ready for UI within a second.

 

[SkywardBeam]

I want to see the U6 Namekians pulling some shit we haven't seen from the U7 Namekians yet.

I hope we see at least one giant Namekian. It has been far too long. One of the reasons I love the Lord Slug movie.

 

[HeroR]

I can't help but to find amusement that this is the second time Goku got his arm dislocated this arc.

Can't blame him since Frieza scared the crap out of him with his implied murder threat.

It's not new and it's never used properly either.

So did Hit knock anyone out at all? I can't remember.

Goku hiding what a chump.

 

[Assanova]

Odd that Jiren doesn’t see Vegeta as worth fighting.

 

[Seiniyta]

Odd that Jiren doesn’t see Vegeta as worth fighting.

Vegeta hasn't really drawn the attention of most people so far. He's been mostly on the defensive and hasn't been seeking out Jiren like Goku did.

 

[Real Hero]

Odd that Jiren doesn’t see Vegeta as worth fighting.

nah it would be odd if he did

 

[Slaythe]

Odd that Jiren doesn’t see Vegeta as worth fighting.

Lmao I didn't think of that, that's hilarious.

Now to be fair, Jiren can't tell which fighters have more powerful abilities or forms, I'm also not sure he can feel the robots.

 

[RocknRola]

Nice episode! Good way to keep things somewhat tense and the Jiren vs Hit fight was also damn cool!

I feel like the answer to "who/what IS Jiren" will be very important, story wise. The GoD's and Angels keep getting awstruck by him, like they never even heard of something remotely similar before.

Now for some discount Gohan action! Also, they better not forget to show us the fight between the 2 Namekians and the real Gohan + Piccolo!

 

[Insumatposa]

They should have modified the opening by now and added the Ultimate Instinct halo to Goku since it was already revealed and those fighting scenes were when he was figthing Jiren using it and not in his base form. Very misleading tbh. They changed the opening and replaced Buu with Frieza but not Goku in UI? Really irresponsible.

Irresponsible???

 

[Insumatposa]

Irresponsible???

I meant careless to be more exact. If they didn't care and made one opening from the start, they should have left it with Buu and not replaced him with Frieza. If they did the change, why did they overlook to modify the most important part of it? I find it kinda disappointing.

As a viewer I am also careless about this.

Gohan should wipe the floor with the namekian duo, namekian and kaioshin have been push overs in DB

 

[Greenymac]

The more I see Jiren the less I like him. I don't think kes s good guy at all. There's something sinister about his power and that clown god, I believe, is using him as a vessel.

 

[Real Hero]

after this episode I am starting to think the

Spoiler

new warrior is another ribrianne transformation

 

[Slaythe]

after this episode I as tarting to think the

Spoiler

new warrior is another ribrianne transformation

I'm 100% OK with that but make it a good one this time around.

Will still be a jobbing form though.

 

[HeroR]

Now to be fair, Jiren can't tell which fighters have more powerful abilities or forms, I'm also not sure he can feel the robots.

He would have sensed Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Vegeta since Vegeta transformed several times. He would know or at least suspect Vegeta was on par with Goku in that form, and deemed him unworthy. The same with Golden Frieza since he transformed for Gohan.

 

[ArchedThunder]

 

[Baleoce]

Amazing xD

 

[A Pretty Panda]

I'm glad this gif exists

 

[Kyzer]

I know I'm a little late but can we talk about how Jiren was stiff as an action figure during the special when Goku finally got him to fight back. Like they weren't ready to make that big body throw punches and kicks lol

 

[TeamLeftMatch]

I'm 100% OK with that but make it a good one this time around.

Will still be a jobbing form though.

It's confusing me how Ribrianne is getting beaten so often when she is considered the best warrior of universe 2 and the universe itself was considered one of the strongest (At least make Vegeta go Blue or SSJ against her).

 

[Insumatposa]

Is Frieza determined to help all saiyans or what? What are his final intentions? He reminds me of the wicked Orovhimaru and his unexpected deeds. Will he end up a nice guy at the end of the series like him?

Jobber is wrestling lingo. Someone is a jobber if their main reason for getting hired is specifically to lose to higher tier talent and make them look good. Jobbers usually aren't involved in a storyline. They come out, have a match, and get beaten up by their opponent to reinforce the idea that their opponent is better than them.

When jobber is used as a verb it means something different. 2 people are involved in a wrestling angle. The one who ultimately loses can be said to be "jobbed" out. But this person losing doesn't mean he/she is not at the same tier as his/her opponent. Now if there is a pattern of someone constantly losing in one story-line after another the person getting "jobbed" can become a "jobber".

Hit jobbed in the last episode but he didn't become a jobber. There is no pattern of hit jobbing to classify him as jobber.

I don't know how a wrestling terminology got into this thread but here we are.

 

[RocknRola]

Jiren is a fidget spinner!

Gohan should wipe the floor with the namekian duo, namekian and kaioshin have been push overs in DB

Gohan should have done a lot of things, yes, but more often than not (in Super) he hasn't

 

[Baleoce]

Now that they've built up how ridiculously powerful Jiren is, I'm really looking forward to him getting knocked on his ass.

 

[Slaythe]

I'm pretty sure, at this point, that the two insects from U4 might be able to shrink or act like parasites.

That's all I can think of, that would "magically" allow U4 to become the big threat.

Maybe they hijack Kale, Jiren, or one of U7's warriors. Hijacked Vegeta or 17 I guess.

 

[ArchedThunder]

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Ok I have an idea. Let's assign Sonic the Hedgehog's personality to Jiren. Problem solved

 

[RocknRola]

These two need to go btw >.>

Yeah, yeah, gag characters, but eh... not feeling them tbh.

 

[erlim]

Well, I guess

Spoiler

Hit

is done for good now. Permanent jobber.

Goku is gonna win it all.

If they set them up to be the underdogs that take out 17 and 18 I swear I'm quitting this show.

Considering both Goku and Geet's were dealing with them easily enough, I feel like 17&18 are more than safe. Unless they pull a Krillin of course >.>

Hit didn't job since Jiren was already put over and established as a threat by Goku, who is way stronger than Hit physically.

If they set them up to be the underdogs that take out 17 and 18 I swear I'm quitting this show.

"Dragon Ball Super photos leaked"

"These were posted on the official Dragon Ball Super page before the episode"

"Yes I know, they were leaked by Toei Animation"


Also saw a fun one saying leaked photos of the Goku Vs Jiren rematch but it was just stills of the Heroes footage.

Forget Donuts, we've got Jiren The Hedgehog here.

 

[BadTaste]

i cried when hit got eliminated

 

[BlazinSkatinAxel]

Jiren can be beaten with Solar Flare.

Jiren to be disqualified!?

 

[Mark1]

Calling it now. Kale will be the last standing for U6. Their next trump card after losing Hit. Looking at the other known contestants, she’s the one with the highest power potential due to the controlled Berserker form.

Not surprised with Hit losing - was far more intrigued with his motivation speech to the others since he knew then Jiren outclassed him to a completely different level. Was moving.

Have no idea about U2 at this point - they keep dropping mixed messages. No one will even try go near Jiren while he’s meditating.

But when am I seeing Vegeta, Gohan and 17’s shining battles though?? Gohan doesn’t seem to be taken seriously right now.

 

[zorlaczerohero]

The more I see Jiren the less I like him. I don't think kes s good guy at all. There's something sinister about his power and that clown god, I believe, is using him as a vessel.

My thought exactly, I think he has been granted some power and that's why he's so shit at using it and has to 'meditate' to replenish it. I think he is a massively powerful figure but the final stages will somehow strip him of the Gods influence and make him fight at a level Goku can contend with.
