We need 3 more episodes before the actual tournament

Post by IntangibleFancy » Sat Jun 10, 2017 11:02 pm

Exactly what the topic says. I believe we need an episode focused on all 12 Kais, another one focussed on all the GoDs, and one last one focused on the angles. That way, we could get a better view at all their personalities and finally get the Beerus and (our) Supreme Kai interactions with the other gods we should of got in episode 85.


What do you all think?

No, I think I've seen enough bullshit padding episodes. Give me the meat and potatoes of this arc!

I don't see the point at this stage. We'll see all the Hakaishin and Kaioshin at the tournament itself and they've already crammed in more than enough content before starting the actual damn tournament.

The assembling stage has already lasted longer than it really had to story wise and should've already been done with at this point.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

They could've focused more on other universes, instead they preferred showing us the same characters. Now there's no time.

I wouldn't mind 3 more episodes, BUT they'd have to be at the level of the past 4 or so episodes we just had. The padding episodes were fun in the very beginning, then started treading into really shitty waters with 17 and Roshi/Tien episodes. However, from the Gohan episodes onward they've mostly been really good and entertaining, with the last episode we had (in my opinion) the best episode of Super. I hope this level of quality continues into the tournament.

I think he's referring to the Android 17 episode with the poachers. Which was really unnecessary. And Roshi/Tien might have well have not happened. Because it did not sell me on Roshi or Tien being in the tournament. All the other episodes have been fine.

I offer that the arc should have ended thirteen episodes ago, if not more. This story arc has been a travesty of pacing and proper narrative structure.

Very well said! Hitto and Frost deserved a violent training session together and we haven't seen anything about the great Jiren yet.

It was sad to watch again how Saiyajins transform and indeed those 3 saiyajins from U6 suck big time specially the female Broly clone. Definitely, i really was looking forward to see Jiren's planet and his people, but, instead we saw that cyborg saving a cat. WTF?

Correct. I thought the first 17 episode was good, although not amazing as everyone made it out to be. The poacher episode was god awful though, and that continued with the Roshi/Tien episode.

I don't really understand the people who think the tournament should have started months ago. I love this pacing (when done right) as it reminds me of Z, although not quite as slow as Z. It really sucks having to wait every week for an episode to come out that might just be a padding episode, but think of how it's eventually intended to be watched, which would be all at once. I hate when things are so rushed that we don't really get much time to fully take everything in. Look at the U6 arc for example. It lasted a whopping 14 episodes, and moved way too fast. It took ONE episode to recruit everyone. Everything felt very rushed and if you watch that entire arc all at once now instead of every week (where it feels longer) you'll probably say "Wow, is that it?"

Padding is a great thing, it helps flesh everything out.

Why is that a bad thing? The fact that we've only been told about how insanely strong this person is and have not even seen him (aside from that one really quick clip of him meditating in darkness) just makes you more excited when he's finally revealed in the tournament. I'm very glad they've decided to go this route.

It it takes too long the excitement is gone, you lose the momentum, don't you think? Besides, do you think it is fair to show again how saiyajins transform
while characters like Hitto and Frost got 30 seconds? Why couldn't they show us Hitto and Frost training with Vados? Don't you think it would be more interesting? I mean they could build a rivalry between them like Goku vs Frieza in Universe 7.

The episode with the poachers didn't have the best story line but it's far from unnecerssary it made 17 and Goku bond and have a great interaction which i loved.
