When showing the fighters reacting to Jiren they cut to Shantsa blank face

Well it's definitely the most dangerous the character has ever been. He's finally learned patience and some discipline and is trying to play the long game.

Jiren is definitely stronger than the gods. He's definitely the rumored mortal that even the gods cannot be equal with.
Dude is Unreal.
Something will happen that will cause him to lose or forfeit or whatever. I don't think he's going to. Be losing by traditional means. I just cant see it. I dunno tho.

Well none of the fighters they cut to looked scared in all fairness.

Tate-Jiren lol
Thread isn't even a week old lol. I'm too obsessed with the last 2 episodes!
Which means all Goku had to do was reveal the blue print to UI which at this point is basically convert spirt bomb energy into what is essentially a level burst.

Jiren cheated for his power dog....cant wait for the inevitable flashback episodes stretch.

That's kinda the point. This whole arc would have a lot more impact to me if we actually got to know more of these universes beforehand. Like more significantly via arcs that take place there or involve them.
Looks good to me
I actually think that shot has some charm.

Okay. Speculations on how this is going ahead, so I'm just going to spoilertag this whole post:
Best part was still Tsundere Brianne. The whole meta-commentary on transformations (note that Brianne actually did the same thing as Goku with the spirit bomb, it just did way less) is lovely -- pun intended. Freeza's heel turn with Vegeta suddenly going 'nah' is weirdly inconsistent though.
Oh well, at least we got to see almost every other character we hadn't even seen so far. The initial fight scene where Goku gets punched across the whole battlefield was a great sequence. Also, Namek mentions and Namekians being shown? I think Nail and Kami are about to get some more roommates. Hope TFS will be able to do a cover of 'the voices in my head' with all of them before retiring DBZA.
I still maintain that Jiren is artificially buffed, because the direct connection between his GoD and himself pretty much spelled that out, in my opinion. Also the two times the tech-kai adjusted his glasses (similar to Jaco noticing Frost's cheat during the Champa tournament) and U4 mouse not being freaked out. And with Beerus describes Jiren's power as that of a GoD or beyond in the sub, and the emphasis while he says so is on the clown.
Keep in mind that this tournament is between low-ranked universes, so deceit is certainly not out of the picture, and a low-ranked universe having mortals like that seems a bit unlikely. That, and I don't see the show suddenly demoting GoD's to a lower position. Even though the reactions to it were great, as well as Freeza's smirk.
I'd say we're not going to see Goku's new form again this saga, but U11 is probably going to fuck up and get disqualified -- and then saved by dumbass-- in the end. That 'unknown fighter' looks like a deflated Jiren to me. Still strong, just not GoD level.

I mean I don't know how they would have done it in an interesting way. Maybe a 1v1 tourney but idk

Haha I refuse to believe this. It feels like such a cop out.
Belmond is a dodgy looking clown tho. So who knows. But I like to think jiren is just legit powerful as Fuck.

SS3 is such a bad transformation that Goku didn't bother using it against Jiren.
I always hated it except for the first transformation sequence, SS2 has had better showing imo.

All we need to explore is like U6, and maybe the universes that didn't have to compete in this stupid tournament to begin with.

There are more ways to do story arcs in those universes than a tournament I'm sure

I surprised there hasn't been that much talk about Toppo's little monologue on Jiren's wish. Pretty much the first hint at some backstory or motivation for Jiren.

I actually think it would be more interesting than if he's just super strong (unless he got his power in a legitimate, interesting way, and it's not just left unexplained)
it's going to be left unexplained

Those are some glorious derpy faces!
Speaking of derpy, it's hard to watch pre-ToP DBS episodes now, thanks to the style change and the far more consistent art that came with it. We really had it rough for a long while :S

Their is work to be done with other universes. The ones didn't participate have stronger mortals on average than the ones here.
I'm just hoping for power-ups for the likes of Piccolo/Krillin/Androids.

I don't think it really needs to be explained. Hit showed up casually stronger than SSB Goku and Vegeta with no explanation. It's a big multiverse
To be fair alot of that was techniques not just raw power
But there's also kale,Toppo and Dyspo
Maybe Ribranne MAYBE

I wonder if Mafuba would work on Jiren
Better not stronger.
Mortal Level is a combination of many factors such as evolution, intelligence, self proficiency etc.

And that is why I believe there will be a caveat to jirens strength. Maybe he can redirect energy....or hes got like a Suzaku Live! Type mind trickery from belmond.

Yeha he's trained for like what, 4 weeks his entire life to get to gold level? Lol. Dude was just born and gifted super powerful.
Then goes to the gym, few bench presses and squats, eats some oats and in a month comes back stronger than ssj blue. Lol.
