He still revealed Frost as a cheater, so you can't say he did nothing.
If Frost didn't cheat he would have won.

Jaco is the one who revealed Frost, it could have happened the same way with any other fighter.

It made Vegeta look better than the movie did so it makes up for everything else.
Can't say I agree lol. He's still only beating down on a fatigued fighter who kills him and Goku still gets the kill. Vegeta really should have just been the only one to fight him from the start.

I wonder why. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind Krillin, but it just feels weird promoting the guy when he arguably hasn't been relevant from a combat standpoint since the Saiyan arc.
I mean krillin is one of the main character in z,he is relevant in the Saiyan, namek and cell saga, and toriyama always had a soft spot for krillin

I honestly don't even give 2 shits about whether anyone lost in a tournament or not. For me, it all comes down to showing the characters' interesting fighting skills and tactics effectively regardless of outcome. Which the episode did considering how outclassed Piccolo is to Frost like Goku said, but still uses strategy to keep up.

Because he has the same voice as Luffy, It feels thats the main reason they have been promoting Krillin hard after the Trunks Arc. Knowing that OP is the number 1 series worldwide today, Toei is just attempting to gain extra cash with this move..
I think so too. Mayumi Tanaka is well loved. She's been Krillin before she was Luffy so she's easy to utilize.

People watch shows partly for the voice actors. I've done that.

But he did it off of Piccolo's fight.

I personally feel the same way. I love the Piccolo vs. Frost fight since Piccolo nearly beat a fighter who badly outclass him. Which is why I get annoyed when fans say the fight was pointless because Piccolo didn't win.

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.

True but what we got is a lot more than they're known for doing so it could've been worse (him geatting beat up at the start only for Goku to save him and finish the fight).
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

Kale going wild either because Caulifla got eliminated/hurt or because someone taunted her.

I'm also worried 18 might be the first one eliminated(could happen in episode 99)
If 18 gets eliminated in episode 99, wouldn't it be better to put 17 in the title as well? He loves 18 just as much as Krillin does, and I bet he would rage if someone eliminates his sister.
My thoughts exacly ! we see 17 angry in the op and 18 is literally the only person he gives a shit about on the team, besides i don't get the Krillin title at all ! no offense to people who like him but since when does he have "a dormant power" ? his "potential" was unlocked in namek saga and didn't serve him much, and dude just got back to fighting again, what are they going to pull ?

Oh wow, so the entire Universe 11 team is going to be Pride Troopers. I thought it was only going to be a few of them. That team work is going to rock so much shit.

Weird how U6 is only showing 8 members. The other 2 too good to stand with the others? Oh well, My boy Magetta is there, and that's all that really matters.

That looks awesome. Nice to see my most anticipated character, Jiren, as well as a female Nightcrawler like created. The Charizard dude is hilarious as well.

He's giving off the vibes. Now I'll be disappointed if he doesn't breath fire even once.

Woo, great! All U11 are pride troopers, each one a different species. There's a wildboar in U6, still missing two, and the complete U7, which we already knew.

We need to see U2, U3, U4, U9 and U10 yet.
