Everywhere. People have been complaining about it non stops since it happened.
I'm talking about the people who defend this craptastic moment in the anime and on the flipside rage at Toyo for something like Gohan defeating Kefla. Idiotic hypocrisy at it's finest.
And you don't see anything ironic or self-contradictory about what you're defending? I think Android 17 fighting against Jiren is a good deal more reasonable than Roshi fighting him.

No, because one was a fan service asspull for the sake of a fan service asspull, and the other makes absolutely a million times more sense that a saiyan child prodigy who time and time again has shown that he is able to tap into a deep reservoir of strength to overcome opponents much stronger than him is able to beat Kefla. And Jiren beat Roshi with a single karate chop, so let's calm the F down here.

There any proof those are the same people? And it doesn’t matter if he beat Roshi with a karate chop, Roshi shouldn’t have been able to dodge his strikes, period.

It shows how counter productive locking the manga's topic is.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

It was bad for the Goku fans, and also the Vegetto fans because it was like a big spit to their faces but tbh, Toei did the right thing by preventing us from seeing the same old same old from decades ago.

There's a page that looks like Goku uses Kaioken but I got nobody around to translate

Aperantly yes. One of the people who leak the chapter in naruto forums mentions that kaioken was said.

I'm on those forums and I can't find that confirmation.
Rai, the guy who nearly all the time leaks the chapters, comfirms it.

Goku uses the Kaioken again? Hmm. That's very odd. I'm guessing he must be stacking the Kaioken on top of something because using the Kaioken on its own would be pretty useless.

He uses it with Completed Blue. He lands 2 hits on Jiren, and Jiren no sells it and backhands him. Goku then starts to lose all his energy

I was wondering what it was going on there because it seemed like Super Saiyan Blue Goku significantly powered up. You're saying that was Kaioken?

You called it exactly, good job. That was even before he lost to Toppo in the manga

Alriiiiight, SSJB Kaioken is in the anime AND the manga, so now it's more than likely going to be in the movie.

Combat is craft. What matters most is not raw power, but the skill by which you hone it."

I'm laughing so hard right now. And people said it wouldn't appear anywhere else.

Well I did tell some people that Perfected Super Saiyan Blue wasn't meant to be the manga equivalent of the Super Saiyan Blue Kaioken but that would seem confirmed for sure now then.
