Is he supposed to be nutting him, or is he supposed to be kicking him in the stomach and it's just really not drawn very well? Because I'm leaning towards the stomach kick.

Recent manga chapter was cool.
Wonder is the manga will just skip to Buu being asleep. I also wonder about Gohan's role in Toriyama's outline

Cabba SSJ2 now.
I'm pretty sure Toriyama's outline for U7 was:
"Team has to have Goku and Frieza, fill out the rest"
He probably at least has the team members
"Also uhmn have Tien, Yamcha or Yajirobe or anyone doesn't matter just someone unimportant"
Looks like it's his SS2.

Gohan will defeat Jiren.
After or before Toppo and Grand Padre

Man, that "new form" line really got some of you hyped.
Honestly, even more than just strength, Gohan does not have the fighting ability to go against Jiren. He can tank, but as far as strategy goes ... eh ...

That would require him to team up with his real dad instead of fake dad.
He can't do it on his own though. Jiren is far too OP.

He's already teamed up with Piccolo.
Aha I'm just going off the conclusion to the goku black saga. They were willing to let Trunks be the one to defeat Zamasu with a ultra instinct like technique. Hopefully they throw some surprises our way with half the tournament left to go.
Frieza defeating Jiren would be cool also.
I dont like it when Goku defeats the main villain when it doesn't make sense. That's why I hated it with ROF because it was just such an obnoxious way for Toriyama to say that Vegeta cant be the one to defeat Frieza.
With the Black arc, it makes sense Trunks be the one to defeat Merged Zamasu.
With this arc, it makes sense Goku defeats Jiren. It wouldn't make any sense for Gohan to do it since they havent even interacted the entire tournament. Although personally I dont think Jiren is getting defeated by anyone.

I think the thing with Gohan is that his instincts are kind of terrible. Of course it's not an issue when he's got a giant power gap over his opponent. But really remember his fights against Dabura and Super Buu (post absorption), he just kept making bad decisions. They made an attempt to show him get over that weakness, but that fight against the Yardrat was pretty telling that he still has a way to go in that regard.
I'd liked to see him 1v1 Toppo, but if he's going against Jiren, he's definitely going to be the assist.

No they didn't. Trunks just took a Spirit Bomb Sword and cut a weakened Merged Zamasu, which his nothing like UI.
Pretty much. UI is based on using muscle memory in your body and refining it so you can do certain movements without thinking. It's like walking, at first you had to think about it, and then you reached the point where you can get up and walk as easily as breathing. Same principle.
Gohan doesn't have the same muscle memory since he goes in and out of training and while cram sessions can raised his battle power, it isn't going to help his muscle memory. He would still be rusty and no real match against an experience fighter if everything is closed to equal.
I dont think its instincts but more likely his arrogance. It's the reason why it costs him vs Cell and Buu. But it's the same with Goku and Vegeta. It's just a saiyan trait that will probably always trouble them.
Piccolo doesn't really teach Gohan stuff. Like, have we seen Gohan used the Special Beam Cannon and I don't mean the video games.

He suggested 17's return actually.

Really liked the manga, love seeing more of the GoDs, only problem was Toppo was too flat.

I'll go with the good on the new chapters first. The art and framing were really good this month and the fighting was a step above Toyotaro's usual, I really enjoyed it. Seeing the GoDs fight and get all beaten and bloody was cool. Toppo having God ki is a nice touch and I like Goku outright losing to Toppo more than what happened in the anime.
As for the bad, Toyotaro has been doing a good job writing the new characters, but his Toppo has zero character, he's just not fun compared to the over the top version in the anime. Losing Toppo's distaste for Goku is also a huge negative for me as is the fact that he shows no special moves.
I'm also scratching my head because Goku says he can't sense Gods...
All in all it was a good chapter, but the handling of Toppo is a huge step down from the anime.

Hey, can someone repost that full image of the front facing Ultra Instinct Goku promo art that has his boots showing.

And doing a real fucking bad job of it.
But thats what Toyotaro does. He takes fight choreography from the original manga and puts it through his dull, early 2000s How to draw MANGA filter.
For the manga, I just don't care about the God of Destruction rumble. It just does nothing for me. But it was drawn well and it was funny seeing most of the gods shit face on the floor. But it seemed too tamed for a giant battle royal between all the Gods of Destruction not holding back and the mortals fighting comes off as more interesting. Which is weird when you considered that even in the manga Super Saiyan God Goku and Beerus shook the universe.
I also don't think we needed an 'excuse' as to why the Gods of Destruction isn't in the tournament since the anime covered this by just saying Zen'o is using Champa's tournament as a basics, hence the Super Dragon Balls as the grand prize.

I liked the SSJ2 joke, "Goku hurry and go SSJ3, Zeno can't tell the difference."
Might as well forget about that
Along with any idea that the series was ever or will ever be consistent logically
A far worse version of the poster ?? (anime shading instead of the nice coloring they had, and some weird shadow added to 17's leg)
But not a scan
Officiel FighterZ ... I don't know what this is supposed to be anyway
So I'm not gonna mention (again) the elephant in the room.

Yeah that was pretty great.
I like how this has a bunch of Android arc stuff, 17 is featured but the strongest fighter in the arc is no where to be seen. Also Kai planet? This poster makes no fucking sense.A far worse version of the poster ?? (anime shading instead of the nice coloring they had, and some weird shadow added to 17's leg)

Maybe but his Bang is there. Its just up, you can see it, the rest of his hair is fairly flat and then there is this one chunk that is drawn separate.
EDIT: whoops double post.

Kai Planet? And everyone from Cell Saga is there, unless you're making a joke about Mr Satan?
I am not asking for logic in a show that has talking pigs. My issues was that the royal rumble between all the Gods of Destruction wasn't all that special and in Merged Zamasu fight came off as more 'epic', yes I do mean the manga version.
The manga God of Destruction fight comes off as thugs trying to beat the shit out of each other.

This is how I felt about the GoD battle as well. In the end it's just unnecessary fluff that proves Toyotarou's priorities revolve around what's "cool" over better substance.
The Sacred world of the Kai's is the bottom BG( and no Buu anywhere), and there is no Gohan at all.
I like seeing abilities but not sure if I would call it cool
Not even the abilities were all that special imo
I thought Trunks stayed home
Trunks is missing too. And Buu.
