Regarding the tension in Gokus back they mentioned.

Do you think they went with this "tingly sensation on your back" explanation of Super Saiyan, just so they could say something about this new transformation or whatever they're promoting?
How i predict the tournament will end:

I think it's referring to it being an emotionally tense artwork where we see Goku from the back.

Trust me, it exist. People do get stuck on the "True Fan" label.
People on the internet in 2017 are still ridiculous/stupid. Nothing has changed.
I'm just saying what they call themselves. I'm not labeling them.

Honestly I see way more people saying dont watch if you dont like it.


I never said anything that contradicts your opinion. I am simply stating what people tell me when I ask them to drop the show. I don't know if I failed to communicate that.

While I have a feeling Frieza is gonna be the one deliver the decisive blow against Jiren (maybenot beat him but weaken him for Goku).....I have this wonderful image of Frieza screwing over U7 because he just cant resist putting a hole in Goku's back when its turned.

Edit: Thats why I love having him in the tournament. So evilly unpredictable.

I wonder if Jiren is actually the mortal with the power that exceeds a God Of Destruction.

Freeza indeed is the best thing about the tournament, it's not even jiren, he dosen't light any excitement whatsoever in me, Freeza even overshadows Gohan's involvement in the arc and that's the highest praise I can give here..

The point of the scene is to show how much of a prodigy Caulifla is, not how easy Super Saiyan is to achieve. Cabba says that he's able to turn Super Saiyan on by focusing his energy in a specific way in his back and it creates a tingling feeling and even says that it's not something you can teach because it's a foreign sensation that you have to feel first, but then Caulifla does it anyways.
I can understand people not liking Caulifla getting Super Saiyan so easily, but complaining about "back tingles" is really weird since it's just explaining how the existing Super Saiyans turn the form on.
Yeah the back tingles isn't the issue for most, its just that Goku, Gohan, and Vegeta are prodigies as well, and they had to go through an incredible amount of fighting, training, dying, etc, to achieve what they currently have. Goku didn't first transform until he was a fully grown adult. To see Caulifla do it so easily should bother people, it diminishes the earlier arcs to an extent.

Now if she attains the blue form during the tournament then I think there will be a nearly unanimous negative reaction.
Gohan and Vegeta got Super Saiyan off scene in the manga, and Goten and Trunks got it with no effect.

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

I honestly don't think he is. I think he's just a very, very powerful dude lol.

Nothing said anything about him fighting the Pride Troopers though to my knowledge. Spoilers only mentioned Goku working with Kale and Caulifla and Roshi paralyzing foes. I wouldn't be surprised if 101 is when Roshi gets eliminated.

I feel the lack of excitement for Jiren too. Hopefully he'll peak some interest in the next episode when he finally stops standing around, notably not helping his team, and does a thing.

I don't think Jiren is supposed to be an actual character. He's just a symbol of what Goku has to beat.

Even Toppo has a personality, so it's not like they aren't giving these new justice warriors personalities.

-Episode 101 preview-

YES!!! Kale is still in game like I wanted. Hopefully it's just a matter of time until she gets her new form.
Caulifla is one of my favourite DBS characters and female characters of the franchise. She teamworking with Goku will be a treat!
Can't wait for their fight this week.
A world without Dragon Ball is just meh.

I feel the same way. In hindsight, I'm rather glad they recruited Frieza into U7's team if only because of all the potential excitement and unpredictability he could bring to the tournament. I'm certainly not getting that feeling with Jiren right now -- I understand that they're trying to portray him as this ultra powerful obstacle to overcome, but his dialogue has been very minimal and he's spent most of his time so far just standing around. They'll probably change this near the end, but that still wouldn't do anything for me if he's just idle for most of the battle royale's duration.

It's why I'm waiting for him (and Gohan) to do something interesting. Both are sort of doing similar things right now, just sort of chilling somewhere. Both are getting hyped a lot and I'm interested to see what this saga has in store for both of them. It's [partly why I'm interested in this week's episode since Jiren is expected to do something this episode. It's pretty obvious though that they'll continue to tease Goku VS Jiren until it eventually happen. 101's spoilers has Goku outright challenge Jiren and Jiren just goes "Lolno" and sends goons to fight instead. Gotta tease the fight longer.

Hmm I just meant I dont personally see many doing the whole real fan thing. At least not on this site. I avoid youtube comments.
