The music/atmosphere during the Jiren SSB Goku fight was great! So dark, and unlike anything in Super/Z/Faulconer.
Also I love that the rest of the tournament was captivated. Reaction shots to the action are some of the best parts of Dragonball.
Also kind of nice Goku thought of Chichi or his sons when contemplating his wish.

Even during the big fight between Goku and Jiren, Dyspo was doing a supermodel photo shoot.

Yeah I think pride played a certain part, but pride in that *he* still thinks in his mind that he's the one to finish this royale and be the last person standing. So I think he didn't give his energy because he believes doing so would worsen theirs and his own chances of doing that. Even if this was a big fight, in his eyes it was just one fight. He still helped. He just didn't see the point in putting all his eggs in one basket.

Literally all the times goku and vegeta decide to play rock paper scissors to decide who goes first are "dick moves" then.
Might as well call it "saiyan moves" cause it's clearly deeply rooted in their DNA.
It's who they are, suddenly being upset by it or saiying dumb shit like "vegeta's dead to me" makes me wonder what show people have been watching for the past 20 years.

Amazingly, this was actually worth the hype. I still think Jiren is a bit boring, but Goku's new form was spectacular.
This really felt like a new kind of fight. The way that even we, as viewers, had to watch closely to see the instant attacks was a novel way of depicting just how strong these fighters are.

Agreed. The scene most definitely could have been handled better but it doesn't seem out of character or even "inconsistent" imo. It was more like "You can do this without me" or "You won't be able to do it anyway." Regardless I think Vegeta protecting him more than made up for it.

Frieza doesn't want to be ruled by anyone. Frieza saw the fear the gods had for Goku's power. Could it be that anyone who achieves true mastery of that power is fit for ruling over everything, and that's why they're all so scared shitless or bothered by what they saw?
Frieza's goal is no matter how it happens, he wants to disrupt the absolute rule of the gods, and Goku right now is his only means of achieving that.
No matter how powerful Jiren is, Goku had closed the gap completely and was starting to get the better of him before he ran out of power.

Got me confused with someone else
And I'm just going off this one episode, it made for an easy way to taunt my friend, who's a big Vegeta fan. No different from when y'all always go on about how Goku does something dumb every other episode lol
Represent.
Represent(ative) of bad opinions
Im seriously wondering how they're gonna have Goku defeat Jiren. Nothing would make sense.
Only a Ultra Instinct Gogeta fusion would make sense. Do it up..
Also, whens the last time we saw Goku fight this serious? Gotta be back no Namek when he turned ss1

That's fair. But I think it's too far-fetched to believe he may be disgusted by something like that though.

not talking about you obviously...just like how I don't take your "y'all" personally.
He'd be Great Saiyaman 3.
If I wrote this story I would make people work together to take out Jiren. Like a Goku and Gohan tag team.

Beating Jiren should end up being the biggest war of attrition since everyone tried to take down Frieza on Namek. That's where I hoped it was headed when everyone surrounded Jiren and showed they didn't lose their will to fight.
It has Jiren's head on a different body, this isn't rocket science.
Make him break the rules of the tournament perhaps.
But Jiren is not stupid,he is just standing there and doing nothing because of fear of killing a weakling by accident.
When Caulifla said Jiren's face is so attractive, Kale's wish on the Super Dragon Ball's became clear.
i can't believe mental projection Goku is dead
How will Frieza do mental training now?
It's really concerning when
we're supposed to care about him and discount Tarble in 2 episodes.

Maybe that little thing called teamwork Gohan and Whis keep suggesting.
Goku literally cant touch Jiren in SSBKK x20 and is forced to use the spirit bomb but Vegeta, the join second strongest person on U7, doesnt want to give his ki to Goku...
How is it hyperbole? That's terrible characterisation. Vegeta would absolutely give his ki if the writers werent complete idiots.
Nothing ever makes sense its Dragon Ball just watch it happen.

Frieza certainly has more administration experience than Gohan.
Hmm i would think you need God Ki to achieve that transformation, maybe if Frieza wishes to be a GOD he could transform again.
Also he would need to take down Zeno and Grand Priest somehow 🤔
Dude even fused with Goku again in order to beat Zamasu, ain't that an even bigger taboo for him lol
I just found it funny, like damn Vegeta, why you gotta be like that

Him getting a new form, at this point, seems useless. Unless Goku or Hit actually manage to properly push him, he is still much stronger than both of them.
Still, gotta sell more toys so wouldn't be surprised
Edit:
That said, the feet in particular look different than Jiren's (look more like Hit's boots tbh) and the hips look more "female-ish" than male.

To think that Jiren isn't really seen to be struggling that much or really exerted himself yet.

I can definitely see a few universes with survivors being spared at the end of this arc. Setting up a future Goku v Jiren conclusion way later down the line.
So Vegeta is now an asshole for doing the smart thing and staying in character
But Goku using his jobbiest attack when they are not even through half the tournament, yeah...
And of course the new form is a non-foreshadowed asspull

Please, let Frieza be actually mad at Goku for having power-ups for free

Yeah Vegeta not giving Goku his energy was odd, I thought we were past that sort of thing at the end of the Buu Saga

No, Merged Zamasu was a fusion so it was fair.

I didn't think Vegeta doing what he did was weird at all. He is smart enough to know that Goku doesn't need it, for one. And two, he would rather help in his own way by making sure Goku isn't vulnerable while he's charging up the spirit bomb. I thought it was very much in character. Vegeta has always been his own person and shows how he cares in different ways than others.

That's actually Jiren's mom, who's coming to pick him up once the tournament is over
