Good special, but I can't be the only one who thought Jiren seemed TOO strong, right? I mean, this felt like if Kid Goku from Dragon Ball tried fighting Frieza.

Spoiler

Yea, even with the new form he still felt crazy strong. I mean, we only saw his aura flare at the very end of that fight. So he's probably got more in the tank than what we've seen so far.

just seems disappointing. Outside of the end of the Namek and the Cell saga that feeling of pure cheering hype over

Spoiler

finally overwhelming the enemy by the leads own strength

of me screaming around as a kid excitedly hasn't been reached and I was hoping

Spoiler

this new transformation

would do it.

I feel like this is better in terms of keeping the story going for a long time though. If they aren't careful the power creep will eat them alive like it did Toriyama near the end.

 

[Dereck]

Goku

Spoiler

does not deserve to beat Jiren not now, especially when this seems to be a regular staple of the series where a character gets a power boost and overcomes the enemy. I like that they didn't go that route and had Jiren power through Goku instead.

 

[Auto_aim1]

I think this is one of the top 5 episodes in the whole fucking series. I'd still place Gohan's SS2 rage above this though.

 

[rrc1594]

Spoiler

Well the true GOAT is going to beat Jiren

Spoiler

Gohan

 

[HardRojo]

Good special, but I can't be the only one who thought Jiren seemed TOO strong, right? I mean, this felt like if Kid Goku from Dragon Ball tried fighting Frieza.

Spoiler

Jiren attained body independence mastery a long time ago it seems, while Goku has no clue what the hell he was doing, so of course Jiren will still have the upper hand,
plus this seems like something the writers don't want to give Goku by regular means just yet, otherwise he'd be pretty much above anyone by now, even a few GoDs perhaps.

 

[Twig and Berries]

This is pretty much freiza vs goku 2.0 but with goku having a form that can burn out

But Frieza was clearly a step above Goku in their fight. Goku got a few good hits on Jiren but at best, they were evenly matched. I dunno, Jiren really feels as if he's channeling Saitama from OPM to the point of absurdity.

 

[Eylos]

Man those 2 Episodes were Amazing, the animation, everything. They can cancel super every saturday, and Just do 2 Episodes per Month like these.

Spoiler

so what Now, Goku Will wait and recover and master this form at the end to fight jiren?

 

[Undead Fantasy]

They have to do something big with the U6 Namekians right?

Right?

They have been teasing them for months.

but at the same time the power difference in here is getting ridiculous. At least Hit was a legit opponent, Jiren just feels like original character do not steal self-insert levels of overpowered. And it doesn't really seem earned since the character is being introduced as a good guy from another universe who stands still doing Jojo stares and doesn't break a sweat.

Like if Saitama from One Punch Man came to dragon ball.

 

[Dereck]

Goku does not seem to be close to as strong as Jiren based on that fight.

his body will remember it, and adapt the power plus extra.

 

[HardRojo]

Lol I had forgotten about them already. They must be chilling somewhere in the arena doing absolutely nothing. Maybe that's U6's trump card.

 

[Kagari]

I can see them outlasting the U6 Saiyans.

Spoiler

I mean, beyond that it seems like Jiren is still stronger if only just. He only really had to release his full power at the very end of their clash.

 

[Astral Dog]

Spoiler

Goku>Beerus 😢

 

[Auto_aim1]

This was a great shot.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Spoiler

They need to eliminate that fat sailor moon character already...Ribrianne Hopefully Vegeta got this.. keep stat padding out there.

 

[Boke1879]

This was a great shot.

He looked very sinister there

 

[Nori Chan]

So...do we have a new episode next week? lol

 

[Omega Kirby]

Frieza is still the most interesting character in the tournament.

Spoiler

He's gathering intel from the gods, he learned what goku achieved, he helped him with the genkidama and now is giving him some dark energy

Just what do you think Frieza is planning?

 

[Maddness]

I didn't even notice the

Spoiler

U6 Namekians.

Do we have any screen grabs of them in the episodes?

 

[QisTopTier]

Frieza is still the most interesting character in the tournament.

Spoiler

He's gathering intel from the gods, he knows what goku achieved, he helped him with the genkidama and now is giving him some dark energy

Just what do you think Frieza is planning?

Teaching him to channel outside energy better which is what True Gold seems to be

Frieza needs him or goku to win

Just like he tried to teach goku how to handle death god energy

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

Spoiler

So pretty obvious that Freeza is about to give Goku power right? Which is why he mentioned this reminded him of Namek.

Spoiler

Just look at his hand position, he's sticking out his hand instead of his fingers like he would normally do for a Death Beam.

 

[B-Dubs]

Frieza is still the most interesting character in the tournament.

Spoiler

He's gathering intel from the gods, he learned what goku achieved, he helped him with the genkidama and now is giving him some dark energy

Just what do you think Frieza is planning?

Knowing him he wants conquest. Once a Space Napoleon, always a Space Napoleon after all.

Spoiler

I imagine he's going to try getting information about Goku's new form out of him while sharing that energy.

 

[Astral Dog]

Frieza is still the most interesting character in the tournament.

Spoiler

He's gathering intel from the gods, he learned what goku achieved, he helped him with the genkidama and now is giving him some dark energy

Just what do you think Frieza is planning?

I thought

Spoiler

he was going to 'kill' him, its obvious Frieza will be the key in Goku going Blue again and beating Jiren

 

[A Pretty Panda]

They have to do something big with the U6 Namekians right?

Right?

They have been teasing them for months.

I wouldn't say tease. It's like they kept them away because they were ashamed of them or something.

 

[mugurumakensei]

Ep 110 on vrv. Didn't have to wait too long after finishing 109.

 

[Hidden One]

Holy fuck....Man those episode were amazing

 

[Mr. Smiley]

Spoiler

 

[Orochinagis]

Goku does not seem to be close to as strong as Jiren based on that fight.

I LOVE how the fight didnt ended as a cliche, I mean it looks like the clown god

Spoiler

lost against

Jiren

 

[Mory Dunz]

....well that was bad.
It was really pretty at least. So that's nice.

I don't even know where to start when listing negatives tho lol.

Next ep looks interesting.

 

[Galactic Specter]

These two episodes where absolutely GOAT, this really did feel like a special instead of two usual episodes slapped together. The animation and music were top notch.

Spoiler

Even when Frieza's doing something as generous as giving Goku his energy to get back to full health, it looks likes an execution

 

[Nintendoga]

Lived up to the hype

Spoiler

Ultra Instinct (dunno what the form's name is) looks SO good in action. Super staff surprised me.

 

[Brock Reiher]

Spoiler

Well the true GOAT is going to beat Jiren

Spoiler

Gohan

Nah, that Blue Guy

Frieza is still the most interesting character in the tournament.

Spoiler

He's gathering intel from the gods, he learned what goku achieved, he helped him with the genkidama and now is giving him some dark energy

Just what do you think Frieza is planning?

Spoiler

Give him freeze power to cool off the heat

 

[Dereck]

Spoiler

Freiza

Spoiler

knows something we don't

 

[VariantX]

110 on crunchyroll finally.

 

[Japanmanx3]

YO! YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Spoiler

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Spoiler

Ok. ok. whew. Jiren must have that Clown God of Destruction's power already.
This dude is beyond anything we've seen! But that ULTRA INSTINCT transformation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOOD LORD! I almost got emotional!
SSJ3 levels of transformation hype!!! SO FREAKING GOOD! And to not go the typical anime route of letting him win, they solidify once more why Dragon Ball continues to be the King of this anime ish, by letting Goku not be all-powerful. He's gotta earn it. THE HARD WAY! Hear that Naruto? Hear that Ichigo? EARN IT! And I still love Saitama but I think Super has officially outclassed OPM Season 1 finally!

WHAT A SPECIAL!

 

[OriginalNameGuy]

Spoiler

They are about to pull a broly on us. Goku is gonna be staggering about the arena until everyone decides to give him energy which he will use to one shot Jiren

 

[B-Dubs]

Lived up to the hype

Spoiler

Ultra Instinct (dunno what the form's name is) looks SO good in action. Super staff surprised me.

Spoiler

The worrying thing is if Goku can spam this form it won't always look this good due to not having these guys doing the animating.

 

[kitzkozan]

It's crazy, it brings me back when I discovered Dragon ball in the late 90's. Goddamn, just this arc will consecrate Super as the legitimate successor to DBZ no matter what happen hehe. Goku won't ever be a deep character, but he's fucking crazy and he's the #1 reason why I watched way too much Dragon Ball.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Dammit, why did I come into this thread right before I have to leave the house? Now this is gonna be nagging me all day. I gotta see this.

 

[Jaeger]

For those that have seen it, do not spoil it for others. Do not post images without hiding them. Do not post spoilers of the episodes without using the spoiler tags. Be courteous to those who may have given up on seeing it tonight or are experiencing issues still viewing them.

Thank you.

Episode talk;

Spoiler

Fucking amazing. Some of the best animation yet. Seeing everyone's reactions to what was going on. The play by play talk between the Gods. Beerus' reactions to Goku's new level of power. Amazing stuff. We will be talking about all that went on for a while, for sure.

 

[Fulminator]

like i am legit floored right now. episode 110 was absolutely incredible. the hype delivered tenfold. I am 1000x more interested in the rest of the tournament now. I know some of you don't like Tate so much, but his animation was godlike in this episode. I am so fucking happy, when Goku

Spoiler

got the new form and attacked Jiren

it was an amazing feeling

interesting note though

Spoiler

The gods all seemed freaked out that Goku had awoken this "ultra instinct", but they don't mention anything about it for Jiren, so I don't think he has it

probably gonna go back and read through all the spoiler discussion, but for now I think I am going to watch both episodes again. they are so fucking good. easily the best episodes of super.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Spoiler

The Clown God is so true to the Joker, dude even gets in your head.

 

[BomberMouse]

Amazing episodes, crazy speculation time

Spoiler

Clown GoD was too confident of Jiren, he even seemed to control him, not just comminicate with him. Maybe he asked for a warrior able to surpass the GoD to the super dragon balls.

 

[Brock Reiher]

Oh shit yeah, I forgot that

Spoiler

Hit gets stronger than you just form fighting you.

 

[Undead Fantasy]

Lol I had forgotten about them already. They must be chilling somewhere in the arena doing absolutely nothing. Maybe that's U6's trump card.

They finally appear in 109. Only for a brief second though.

:/

 

[Fulminator]

super curious as to what

Spoiler

freeza is doing here...

 

[Kagari]

They finally appear in 109. Only for a brief second though.

Hey you should be happy Piccolo got several scenes.

AMEN! This two episodes re-inforced that DB is still king when it comes to power levels and the way the characters (in this case Goku) trains his ass off to earn it.

It's crazy, it brings me back when I discovered Dragon ball in the late 90's. Goddamn, just this arc will consecrate Super as the legitimate successor to DBZ no matter what happen hehe.

Hell yeah! I really felt like a child again with this two episodes! It was so damn good!
