Dragon Ball Super |OT9| Genki-Drama

Isn't it the same?

SSB has a spike that points forward instead of the same direction as the other top spikes

I don't trust U4's god. He's up to something to interrupt the tournament.

It was revealed in the manga that he is the one
to beat Beerus in an armwrestling match that was refered in Super Episode 93, so he is a strong god, so it was speculated that the mortal stronger that a god of destruction maybe from his universe, but after the special i believe that was debunked.

Toriyama has been drawing Super Saiyan with that spike for years, sometimes it shows up in the show on Super Saiyan, sometimes it doesn't, same with Blue.
Where? SSB didnt even have it originally. Then it was added in Super. And generally when Goku goes Super Saiyan its been back to normal. I put its inconsistent appearances down to changing minds on the form used or animation errors.

I wouldn't say the special debunked it. They've left it open to change it to one of his fighters.

But he's been looking too cocky, and he did put in the effort to spy on other universes.

If a known factor is interrupting this tournament it's either U4 or U3.

The thing I'm wondering is whether it's something like him thinking he could win because he has a strong fighter we don't know of, or he's scheming something far bigger. Which then begs the question - Why does he think he can fuck with the Grand Priest and Zen-Oh?

Rewatched the episodes tonight. I really love how Jiren's aura becomes his blast. That's some real control over his ki right there.

Dumb question (or not, who knows) is the song from the Jiren vs Goku battle available? You know, the kickass rock song from when UI was unlocked?

It's a stretch, but I sort of hope
quintella does have the 'mortal stronger than a god' on his team like the manga implies. That would explain him being mostly unconcerned about jiren.

I still expect that.
I don't think the "new warrior" Universal Tournament Climax figure and "Dreadful! Surprising Appearance of a New Super Warrior!" episode title are referencing a new form for one of the current fighters.

That Ethernet connection difference.
This picture is now meaningless because I thought Vegeta and Gohan would be knocked off :((

What's wrong with their neck tho?


Can't wait for round 2 of Goku/Jiren so that Jiren can finally one punch Goku out of bounds already.

I'm hype for Hitto-san

I love how Frieza gives Goku energy for the spirit bomb and then when Goku is about to come back he's like "I expect nothing less" like damn. Frieza is really one of the best characters.

Also, where the hell did Goku go between the explosion and showing up? Did he get blown off to another dimension temporarily or something?

Teleported himself and the explosion to King Kai's planet. King Kai, Bubbles and Gregory are no more.

They're doing great stuff with Frieza.
Making up for RoF so much.

He died and merged with the Dragon Balls and Shenron.

No, the spike was there in Toriyama and Yamamuro's character designs.

I can't link to Yamamuro's because the only images I can find of it are from magazine scans.
The spike also showed up multiple times in the F film.

And here are some images to show that Toriyama has been drawing Goku with spikes like that one for years.

And no, the inconsistency is not because they change their mind on what form is being used or artist error, it's because Blue and SSJ use the same reference material.

He has the two characters Tien vaguely detected, and made Beerus nervous when he heard how many people U4 had left and didn't see them. That's his plan, hide out probably tiny characters and win by numbers.

I think it is odd frieza didn't seem to care about finding out Goku is at least 20x stronger him

He levels up a lot faster than a saiyan, I bet he's going to heal Goku next episode (just like Namek in reverse!), knowing he's the only one that can have a chance to take down Jiren. Then after that, his sights are set on training up to Ultra Instinct since it made the gods shit their pants, and he wants to be out from under their thumbs.

He only has 4 warriors right now though, including the two invisible fighters. He can't really win by numbers at this point.
 
I'm really curious if they're even going to eliminate another universe before the end of the tournament

My bet is that 3 goes down soon.

EDIT: as if there was any doubt, an add for new Dragon Ball Heroes releases confirmed that the Universe Survival arc will still be airing in December.
