Why? Don't you think Toriyama is capable of producing bad designs?

To be fair, a quick reverse image search shows that the first instance of the picture being used was April 1st (Fools), 2017.
Why I use "Geran" instead of "Jiren"

That's because it is fake. That image is not new and it doesn't even look like a Toriyama's art.
We help! ... Hmm. Always get Autobots out of messes they get into.

You must be kidding, right? First of all, Toriyama's designs are never badly drawn. You might dislike his new style but to say it's bad, you must be blind.
It was so clear that it wasn't Toriyama's design. The main reason being that Toriyama can actually draw and that hoax was probably done by someone who clearly lacks drawing skills. The second reason is that Yamamuro literally traces Toriyama for the characters designs nowadays, so Toriyama's Jiren must be very similar to this:
[spoiler]Image[/spoiler]
The third reason is that even if that was Toriyama's design (which would mean Toriyama was either forced to draw it, or he was under some good drug) then there would be no way both Toei and Toyotaro would change Jiren so much. The truth is that if Toriyama really sent a design that badly drawn, Toei and Toyotaro would still have to follow it.

Fake, huh?! Too bad. The longer I looked, the funnier it got. I did notice that the center was off, and he looked a little stiff, but every artists has his bad day.

Btw, is there no illustration of Jiren from Toriyama at all. I think he drew Caulifla and Ribrianne, but who else?

We didn’t get Toriyama’s Ribrianne. We also never saw his designs for Zuno, U6 Tournament announcer, Final Form Frost, Zeno and Guard(s), Future Mai, Gowasu and Grand Priest. We hardly got his Merged Zamasu. I wonder why they don’t release more of his art, I would like to see all his designs for Super.

Yes, my eyesight is bad, I wont deny it.

Anyways, I was going to say that Brianne will be vital in knowing who will survive in episode 118. If she loses to 17 then U2 is gone but if she defeats the Androids then U6 will be gone.

We are very close in getting WSJ episode 118 preview.

I wonder if V-Jump has ever made a DBS related mistake before? Because it's weird for them to list Monna here as still being in. She even had a full episode to herself, so it's not like they could.. not notice that.

Episode 118 should be Universe 2 becuase if Ribrianne is getting another transformation at the end of the episode then Toei are not going to ignore it for a few episodes before going back to it.

Thing is that if 17 defeats Brianne with very high difficulty I could see 17 being ambushed by the Cicadas and getting eliminated in the process.

Monna created a clone of herself before getting eliminated!!!

Episode 117 should end like how episode episode 114 did with the fusion happening.

If episode 118 is about Universe 6 then I don't see why they would have 1 episode about Universe 2 inbetween all the Universe 6 episodes along with ignoring a transformation. Piccolo and Gohan vs Saonel and Pilina also ended in episode 116 like Vegeta vs Toppo did.

That is what I think could happen as he would have had a big fight and it would be extremly unlikely to be any of Gohan, Piccolo, Frieza, Vegeta or Goku due to some certain fights we are very sure they will have.

Yeah i think there's a lot going on ep 117 for it to be just one episode.

"The Tournament of Power is nearly at it's climax! Will Goku and Shins Universe 7 be able to win?! Make sure to watch the decisive battle!!"
Then Left Zeno is saying "I want to know soon" while the right is saying "I'm looking forward to seeing who will win"


Thats all I got from the picture, we are nearly at the climax of the ToP.

Yeah, it`s the alien head in "Aesthetics" search, loud and clear :lol:
