Not because of it. It's just the culmination of all the stupid callbacks, since Piccolo's death on RoF arc, iirc. And nope, it isn't just 2 seconds! That whole scene of him trying to tank the Hakai IS a callback. And it's not the duration of the scene that matters, it's it solely existing. I'm beyond sad, because we all know Dragon Ball doesn't need fanservice to be successful. Fanservice should exist apart from the main show (like I have no problems with Precure crossover movies, for example). I don't mind the reanimated Freeza arc scenes from RoF extended version either. It's just an extra. But when the show constatly needs to spit fanservice in our faces, it becomes really annoying. I just want the new movie and new series when/if it returns to be totally original, kind of like BoG was.

Well, excuse me if my opinions are "shit". I could say the same for a bunch of people which I disagree, like those people who exaggerate everyweek saying "this is the greatest episode of the franchise lmao". I did find the episode to be boring as hell, though. Last episode, despite having almost no new animation, was much more entertaining. Perhaps because I don't give a shit to Toppo or Jiren, but episodes foccused on them can't fail to bore me.

I'm not calling your opinions shit, I'm saying that to make a big deal (or any kind of deal at all) about something as minor as Freeza's eye being open in one scene and closed in the other is pretty dumb.

Oh, sorry then.
Sure, but that wansn't what I said. The whole scene where he tries to stop the Hakai is exactly like when he tried to stop the Genki Dama at Namek. To his facial expressions, to his quotes and to the storyboard. And, like I said to Artorias, this is just a culmination of all the annoyance that those callbacks since RoF arc have given me. It isn't about this particular episode. Dragon Ball doesn't need this fanservice galore to be successful, and that's what saddens me. Sorry again if that wasn't made clear enough.

You outright stated the anime was better than the manga and then stated Toriyama doesn't supervise stuff. Now you are backpedaling...Go ahead... :lol:


Not even close, I meant the anime was better than the manga for having good plot points absent on the latter. Toei is not always bad and Toriyama is not always good.

As JazzMazz addressed: "nothing suggests he has a particularly extensive involvement in the approval of plot points in the anime"

But, even if you say Toriyama supervised and approved: an episode dedicated to Goku's connection with Pan, Goku Black characterization, Merged Zamasu techniques, Goku rematch with Hit, more emphasis on the recruitment of every U7 team member and etc.

Still doesn't make him the author for any of these either, but the creative staff who worked on these episodes. That's why I think the anime is a better.

If you're heated cause I don't share the same opinion as yours, then you should really work on that.

There is nothing Vague about a direct statement of Toriyama stating he hasn't checked the script YET.

I'm not angry cause all the work of heavy headcannon labor is coming from you. My point was proven with a fact that Toriyama checks/approves TOEI and Toyotaro.
Then why didn't you just state that you like the anime plot points that aren't in the manga? Take this to the anime vs manga section if you want to continue but I do not.

I spent that entire episode waiting to see the Zen-Oh's reactions.

"As soon as they pan over to these guys, Toppo is getting eliminated....Oh Damn...They thought it was cool. Our only hope is him killing Frieza by accident...Nope!"

Damn they are getting good with the story when they try. Toriyama had to be way more involved with Toppo than I thought. Especially since in the manga Toppo and Goku are the only exhibition match, AND they state a couple times he's a a GoD in training. Key plot links between the anime and manga are really what shows which characters matter to Toriyama to this day.

Freeza likely isn't, he would have been ringed out in this episode if the writers were done with him. They kept him around for a reason.


17 could go either way I suppose, the previews/summaries don't make it clear what happens to him.

To be honest, I'm glad Super's ending. I'm at my limit, I can't stand these stupid references anymore. Freeza came back with his eyes closed after taking the Genki Da-- oops, Hakai and... 2 seconds later, his left eye is totaly unscathed. Can't they stop this stupidity already?
But it looks cool.
Sorry, but... I can't see any coolness in using the same scene a couple of arcs later, disregarding context. At first, I found a little bit odd that Freeza was calm and calculating everything since his 'revival', but it's ok, makes sense i.e. he didn't want to repeat the same errors again and again. Then, totally out of the blue, he reverts to his past self only to suffer the EXACT SAME beating, since not only the storyboard was the same, but his quotes too! When those stupid throwbacks happen, I become so disgusted that I can't enjoy the episode anymore. It was the same with that Final Flash some episodes ago. I just can't.
People never change! They think they have change (Freeza calculated thinking) but in the end if they are pushed in a corner and knowing they will be defeated, they will show their true behavior. The writing for Freeza in that episodes is by that good. If Freeza didn't show that behavior in episode 125 that will be considered bad writing. Its like Freeza changing from evil to good or Goku don't like fighting strong opponent any more. Freeza losing control because he got his ass woped its the right behavior (Namek, Rof). It's in their genes you can't change that!

1. This episode was beautifully animated and directed. Every single moment was felt. I appluad Super for this as it's rare they have moments like this.

2. Frieza is retarded. He's never learned not to be cocky. Hell, he took a small fraction of Hakai and thinks now he can take a direct blast from an actual GoD? How dense is he? I'm glad Toppo embarrased him he needed that beating.

3. Goku and Vegeta are all out rn and Jiren is unphased. Jiren is barely shocked by GoD Toppo. Does that mean he's even stronger still? UI needa comeback soon, or maybe even fusion the way things are looking. Almost positive Frieza gonna disappear. Vegeta's gonna knock himself unconscious eliminating Toppo and thus be eliminated as well being unable to battle. Topp's gonna eliminate 17. Down to UI Goku vs Jiren, and only Zeno knows how thats gonna turn out. Either that or, once again, fusion.

Nope, this is why I'm even more sure he will go out next week, after that last barrier of hope having no effect at all he'll be eliminated
Also, in the preview we see him dropping low on the void
You realize how illogical you sound ? you're saying preview for ep 126 shows him going out when the title of 127 still refers to him still being in. also "the last barrier of hope" doesn't sound like he's going to fail at anything. it sound super positive.

I was talking about 127, bro, not 126, I knew last barrier of hope was referred to 17
But anything points to him going out next, Toppo trashing him, holding his head like with Frieza, unleashing an hakai right on his face, then 17 flying toward the void, then Vegeta on that cliff when we see Toppo standing alone

My idea is 17 will unleash everything he has with that barrier suicidal attack, but won't be enough and he'll remain energyless and ready to be ringed out

Don't think I want to flame on 17 please, I'm only judgind what does it seems from evidences, If only i could take him, Frieza or gohan as a winner I'd swap them for Goku and Vegeta at any moment

There's no reason to be angry if 17 really get eliminated, his performance so far has been outstanding

Except you're literally making stuff up. there's no scene of Toppo trashing 17 or holding his head like he did to Frieza. just a small scene from preview of Toppo blasting him away and history shown that just because preview shows you something doesn't mean it's the case. moreover the fact that 17's performence was outstanding they won't trash him at the end. more than likely he will go out with a bang.

My bad, no head holding you're right, but in the preview you can see 17 on his knees in front of Toppo, then he got blasted away
And I think that his last bang will be 127 indeed, he'll do something significant before going out, for sure

17 is pretty much gone, the preview shows him blasting off and never appearing again, with Vegeta taking his place. He's done remarkably well in this tournament and exceeded all expectations tho so if he gets ringed out next episode its already been a great run for him.

During this episode all I can think was this

'freeza has learned nothing from his time on Namek about going out of his way to antagonize a fighter who can give him a hard time.'

Here we go with all the Android 17 bashing again. :roll:

I forget, who was it again that people thought would go before Gohan? :clap:

Gohan seriously looks a whole lot better sitting on the bleachers than he did in combat. Android 17's showdown against Toppo was epic from all standpoints.
