There are different levels to power and ability after all. It makes me wonder if there's something special about Jiren's birth, or perhaps his species that makes it possible for him to become this powerful. And as I mention that, I recall something quite important about the tournament of power.
A key point that most of us have forgotten? Everybody in this tournament of power is under the influence of the gravity from their planet of birth. Goku wasn't born on earth. He is a true, natural born Saiyan who was born on planet Vegeta. What this means is his body's natural abilities and any genetic traits of a saiyan should be turned up to 11 for a saiyan as talented as Goku in this particular tournament. What is one of the Saiyan race's most well known genetic traits? Becoming significantly more powerful after sustaining severe damage.
I, and I'm sure others, have indicated that Goku likely benefitted from the ultimate kind of Zenkai boost from facing someone as all powerful as Jiren (which is his greatest personal wish for himself according to his interaction with Ribrianne moments earlier), and from taking the type of beating he did while also being finished off by his most powerful single attack, the Genki Dama.
No Saiyan to our knowledge with the kind of power Goku has, with as many gifts and natural talent as we know Goku possesses, has ever had the opportunity to benefit from one of their race's most impressive gifts while at the same time being under the influence of the gravity from one of the saiyan race's original planets of birth. The closest thing to anything of the sort would have to be Gohan after he was annihilated by Majin Buu. And we all remember how powerful he came back after having his potential awakened by elder kai. In Goku's case, he's both being affected by the gravity of planet Vegeta while his powerful ability to resist and endure his genki dama unlocked his potential.
I think Goku being under the influence of planet vegeta's gravity is key to what's taking place right now. Also, it would be cool if the heat everyone noticed is somehow the anger/intensity of the saiyan race manifested in goku's body and responding to their race being wiped out by way of an order handed down from the gods. Don't forget Whis said that the order for Frieza to wipe out the Saiyans came from Beerus. I wonder if that order came from anyone else, or if any other god is aware of that decision. Didn't we also see from that universe where the trio de dangers or whatever they're called are from that their god of destruction was consulting with or preparing some report on a planet about to be destroyed? At least in the manga?
And the music made it much better.Hit's fight with Jiren will be very interesting, i can see Hit improving his game similar to the way he did against Goku in the u6 tournament and if he does it could make for a pretty awesome climactic showdown between the three
also i can't remember a shot in any dragon ball media that i've seen that looks as good as this
Haven't watched the episode yet, but really looking forward to it.
You're a girl ???

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
I forgot the Latin dub started literally months before us. I remember that hate boner well
I think you put more thought into this post than the production team did when they came up with the "everyone feels the gravity of their world" rule.
Lol no, it was just an expression
Latam dub started in August, it's been only 2 months but we've gotten so far already lol. I'm pretty sure they'll start the reruns once the Black arc is done.

They implied that goku and jiren didn't get this powerful through just training and they got at least some of their power through other means and in the case of goku it's true

Finally watched the new episodes with a friend (man this thread moves quickly)
Overall I really enjoyed the animations in the fights, felt really fluid. I enjoyed Ribrianne but I wish she was fighting with someone else :x Still dislike Goku was base most of the time.
F*ck Vegeta for not giving his energy. Goku vs Jiren was HYPE (but I felt I would have enjoyed it more if I didn't see Goku in all of the previous tournament episodes). Next episode looks good too, hopefully we see more of other U7 members soon.
And true, today the Zamasu arc begins here!! Can't wait to hear my boy Sergio Bonilla. It still feels soooo weird that the English dub is behind by a lot of episodes.

Hopefully Goku being exhausted as fuck (even with Frieza's energy) means he'll be out of the loop for a couple of episodes at least. Good thing next episode will be focused on Hit vs Jiren.
please
lmao
goku looked great in Ultra Instinct (episode 110), alright.
However, people who are used to watching dragon ball super, must be blind if they consider goku's appearance, while he's in SS 1/2/blue (spicky like saiyan hair), to be any good, let alone it having better art than dragon ball z.
Like come on now. How can someone look at goku in the parts of 109 where he was in SS 1/2 (the worst offenders) and also blue, and tell me that "nothing from z touches it in terms of art". Super saiyan goku used to look dramatically better in the past.

Watch him give him 1% of energy.
Who was referring to goku specifically I was referring to the episodes as a whole though ultra instinct goku was definitely the best looking part
Ultra instinct goku looked great, really.
Yep, they've appeared twice now I think and so far no actual reveal, 23 minutes into the tournament...
It makes me wonder if theyre getting Mais original eng va or someone else...maybe kid mais actress just sounding older

Favorite scene from last week's mini binge
Just hit me that Ribranne complained earlier too when 17 attacked her while she was vunerable. Can't keep to her own standards.

I can't be the only one who really liked super rebrianne when she started shooting her arrows, cause there was some nice animation there
Lol the way Goku got all pissed looking in UI mode seems like he really wants this fight to be personal, but Jiren still can't give a shit
Both of those hits were made when Goku was losing his form.

Jiren was holding back the entire time i think, even when Goku did land two solid hits Jiren was completely unphased and i don't know that Goku's final attack would've done anything even if he hadn't petered out considering Jiren didn't seem to think it was even worth dodging.

Goku's eyes were already fading out during his final charge.

Watch Piccolo bite it and cause Gohan to unlock Ultra Instinct, then Goku and Gohan take out Jiren together (or end up fighting the Angels).
I like to think of it as the drug from Limitless that lets you perceive everything in really great detail.
But gokus appearance is a big deal. He is the main character, and on chapters like 109 and 110 he's going to be in the center of the action all the time.
In dragon ball super, his art is not that great. SS 1/2 undoubtedly, SSB is more arguable, but, to me, once he doesn't have the blue aura surrounding him, he looks almost as bad as SS 1/2 look in super.
So, if someone says that the especial (109 and 110) had such great art, i'd fine with 110 (where goku looked awesome), but not 109. The difference was very significant to me.
That's why i replied to your post, Morlas.

Goku used his new transformation on an empty tank tho
A Pretty Panda
fuckin' called it, man
It's what happens when people actually watch full episodes.
does goku deplete his energy much faster when using kaioken on top of super saiyan blue? He wasn't fighting for that long in 109.

At SSJBKKx20, fuck yeah. I didn't even realize he got past SSJBKKx10.
KaioKen is the kitchen sink.

Yes, plus he took his own spirt bomb.
It's not like 109 is the first time Goku has fought in the tournament.
well, apparently, pointing out that the main character appearance is subpar, shouldn't be a thing, and shouldn't affect my opinion on the art? it's not such a minor thing.
Not only that, it puts an insane amount of stress on his body.
Absolutely. He barely lasted a minute in dragon ball time (a little less than one full episode) while using kaiokenx10 during the Champa arc, and he could only use kaioken to throw one kick before collapsing after he had fully exerted himself while fighting merged Zamasu.
Kaioken is supposed to be used in small, short bursts because it is so draining and inefficient. Goku has always pushed himself and the kaioken technique far beyond what it ever intended to do.
