If so, why did Chanpa jump out of his skin? No Boo wouldn't of done that.
But Fat Boo did the same thing against Goku SSJ3.
You can see in this video, at 1:33

Even Tenshinhan did something like this against Kid Goku's Kamehameha

Toppo will be amazing, I have no doubt. But this wasn't impressive. Let's be honest....This thing happens everywhere in Dragon Ball.

If it was a blast from a much more powerful opponent, then maybe. He just held his arms out and blocked in the same way Buu did.
Nothing says that Basil was the weakest of the Trio I think.

Well it is Dragonball, I think we're just used to dramatic escalation in the series meaning that the order in which the antagonists get to fight is from weakest to strongest.

Radditz, Nappa, Vegeta.

Guldo, Recoome, Jeice and Burter, Ginyu, Frieza.

The list goes on.

I have a feeling Toppo might challenge Goku after Uni 7 trounces Uni 9, and easily beat him.
"Dragon Ball once became a thing of the past to me, but after that, I got angry about the live action movie, re-wrote an entire movie script, and now I'm complaining about the quality of the new TV anime.

Won't that be precious, Zeno's would allow either way..
If goku ia defeated easily I don't see how they can manage to power up more unless there is some training time

Eh, but Recoome went down first, but he, Burter, and Jeice are implied to be equals. Then there's the fact that Pure Boo isn't the strongest Boo, but was the final villain. I understand the logic, but it doesn't make sense to say he's the weakest when nothing indicates he is (at least at the moment).

That should happen even though Goku probably won't face him in the tournament as he is facing the other guy in from team Universe 11.

Lol so what? He disintegrated a Ki blast, big deal.

What I'm more interested in is this: Image

That cloak guy when he was first introduced looks nothing like Tappo. For one, Tappo is much taller, more wider, and has a moustache.

Perhaps it was a mistake.

I'm taking names and tabs down on every single one of you that downplayed Toppo, so when he actually shows you how powerful he is, you're going to cheerlead and jump on his wagon :D

Nobody was really downplaying Toppo though. Just saying that what he did wasn't all that badass.

It'a almost as if they changed their minds. The guy in the OP vs Toppo.

Everyone knows he's going to be strong, nobody doubts that. We're just saying that what he did could have been done by anyone who was relatively stronger than Basil.

I didn't say what he did was some otherwordly feat. I just said how badass he is. He's a character that had everyone wondering who he was for weeks and we finally get to see a glimpse. Almost foreshadowing to him being a main antagonist later. The scene was badass. No denying it.

No really, as said by others, he just blocked a ki blast in a generic fashion.

Show a vid of ANY other character throughout the franchise doing that casually excluding Beerus.

I'm seeing people saying how "oh it was only basil", this guy was scouted to become a god of destruction. Its a foreshadowing. Just make sure you dont cheerlead when he wrecks everyone.

Vegetto Blue did that to Zamasu, a much more impressive opponent, with one hand, literally a few episodes ago.

We're not talking about if the character themselves will be badass or about what we know outside of the scene, we're talking about the scene itself. The scene itself is a guy blocking an attack, which in itself isn't badass. If he did it in a unique manner or it was from a far more powerful opponent, it'd have some sort of cool factor to it.
