They promised us Jiren and they gave us fucking Jiren. And he did NOT disappoint.
Definitively the best two episodes of Super, but I'll give 109 the edge.
But yeah, that hour was the embodiment was why we were all excited when Super was announced.

The Zenos losing their shit at the start of 110 was the funniest thing I've seen since the baseball episode.
I liked how emotional Beerus was, buddy was even trembling at Jiren.
Yeah, dick move on Vegeta's part, I mean, even Frieza gave. It was weird because I considered him a much nicer character than Goku at the start of this saga, but he regressed a lot the moment Frieza was brought back. Oh well.
Can someone finish Ribrianne?

The hype was real. I need more.
Fulminator

so the
god damn that's fucking hype
new form and the ultra instinct are two different things right? also, if i Understand right, the spirit bomb was just the catalyst to awaken this new form, and he doesn't need to use a spirit bomb to do it again, yeah?
god damn that's fucking hype

Well that's a new one.
That was totally in character for Vegeta, he's fine and can move alright so he's gonna help in his own way (which was stopping Ribrianne from pulling any scummy shit),
plus you can see him caring a bit about Goku at the end of 110.
Jiren was fucking great and we finally heard longer lines ffs!

I don't think Goku will have free access to that form, it'd be too OP if he were able to use it like he does SS and SSB right now, Migatte no Gokui is supposed to be what Whis was telling Vegeta and Goku they should learn, and even some GoDs can't reach that stage, so giving it freely to Goku now would be a bit weird and basically confirming he's reached or even surpassed Beerus.

how did
freeza drag goku away without vegeta noticing?

he was exhausted, he absorbed the spirit bomb and it gave him energy to move. The heat was something else.

beerus only emotional Because he knows if goku is gone his universe has no chance and hez going to be erased with it.
But I love how jiren strikes fear into all of the gods. I wonder just how powerful he is when he actually is pushed to the limits

lol, they're well past power creep concerns.
As much as I feel like pretty much everything in super feels like b-level fan fiction, and they've got serious problems with properly setting stakes and pacing, damn do they delivery on the hype. Hype as fuck. New ending is solid too.
As for what happens next?
I'm still holding out hope for something more interesting than goku just somehow getting power back (from freiza?). Other fighters are still there, I hope they pull their weight somehow. Or imagine if Freiza somehow delivered the final blow to Jiren, not that I want him to be central in a villain position again,
but at least that complicates things in an interesting way moving forward.

I also like how after the spirit bomb, they gave up for a whole episode with the flying rule.
Seems so. The Spirit Bomb was just the trigger to unlock this new "form". Although it seems more like Goku finally achieved that thing Whis mentioned in RoF, and it's just as much of a new ability as it is a new form.
Fam is fast now. Hell he was fast than the Yardrat using IT.

Wow I was about to give Tate some credit because I liked those shots Panda posted. But even if that was Tate, the bad would still easily outweigh the good for me. (I know now that it wasn't, just saying if)
Tateisms were my biggest gripe with the whole thing, but I've said time and time again that I mainly enjoy Super for things other than how the fight looks. With that said, these episodes were HYPE AF. The buildups, the reactions, the atmosphere, amazing. And it did actually have a decent amount of good fighting, so that's pretty cool too.
Next episode looks sick! I wonder if Jiren has been weakened a lot, or if Hit can actually somehow hang with a person of that level? I said it before as a joke, but maybe he really can improve just by watching strong people fight. I dunno.

Quitela
🤔
doesn't care about Jiren
While you're right. I fully believe Beerus has a soft spot for Goku. Even if he only respects him as a warrior.

Jiren's strong, but Hit still has powers that best pure strength. I imagine he gets hits in, but doesn't do much overall.

I peeped that too lol. Maybe Quitela just simply gives no fucks.
Fulminator

i think that the
new form and the technique are different things, based on what whis said. I assume from both your comments that I am right in assuming he doesn't need the bomb to do it from here on out.
idk i feel like it was a mix of him
being emotional bc he likes goku and bc of the destruction thing
Icyflamez96

I'm pretty sure Beerus actually was worried about Goku beyond his own safety. Especially with the way he was like "Is this really the end for you, Goku"

Loving Freezer actions, the guy keeps delivering each scene

This might be the first part of Super that I've wanted to rewatch immediately.
Hopefully the animation isn't only downhill from here!

That makes sense, given the line

Looking at the preview it seems Hit fares better than Goku(Pre-Ulta Instinct) did with Jiren.
Fulminator
Member
me either but I LOVE IT
i think quitela is so confident because even if Jiren is the only fighter left on the stage, NOBODY KNOWS WHERE THE U4 BUGS ARE. Quitela will win if Jiren is the last one standing because he will have two fighters left that nobody had seen for the whole tourney.

Take note of their hand gestures and you'll see why it's obvious Frieza's going to give Goku some of his energy

Hit is about to get so strong! Like good grief! The trifecta in this. If Gihan and Vegeta step up this is going to be a bloodbath!

I liked the second episode better in terms of everything that wasn't fighting.

110 spoilers
I mean, I think that even if Frieza wants Goku dead, he's got too much pride to accept beating and killing him when someone else did the rest of the work anyway.
He probably also wants to learn how to use ultra instinct or whatever it's called himself,
plus I doubt Frieza would be ok with being erased even if he did get to kill Goku.
My guess as to Frieza's ultimate plan is he wants to attain powers beyond what the GoDs,
and possibly even Zeno are capable of

110 was better overall imo
but 109 was amazing too. They were both spectacular.

yea, Frieza's definitely giving goku some of his energy. It's clear Frieza wants to observe Goku entering that state so he can achieve it for himself.
From a fighting perspective with cool powers, Buu is way more interesting. But from a pure story perspective, nobody else could hold a candle to Freeza. Subbing in Freeza for Buu was one of the best decisions they ever made.

On one hand, I'm glad I didn't hold an event with friends because it would've just been us looking for the episode for 2 1/2 hours and I'm sure we would've gotten frustrated, but that really did bring me back to watching DBZ after elementary school with friends and seeing SS Goku for the first time and all of us losing our shit over it.
