I kinda enjoyed Goku teaching Caulifla because Vegeta did the same for Cabba.
I hope that training scenario won’t happen here , if that happen at least somebody else attack them from the back ,because is not serious in a survival battle that chit chat and the world around stoped and watch
Writing a good story is all about balance. It wouldn't be enjoyable if every interesting character got knocked off immediately in the confusion, but it wouldn't be good if the tournament of power dragged on because it showed each and every character and their whereabouts. There should be some character moments in the arc, it doesn't always have to be intense and urgent.
Yes, but not all characters are there to be equally relevant. The problem with the TOP is that it didn't really establish who is and who isn't actually important, but we can only guess by those whom are featured the most. It clearly was the Trio-De-Dangers, Ribrianne, Universe 6 & 7, and U9. Everyone else was just there to be fodder just like in all the other Tournament arcs. Though DB did a bit more but not just straight up treating the characters like fodder, the ones that were the focus were the ones kept around the most. I think balance is important but Super's issue is that it doesn't even give balance to even the most featured characters, as for whatever reason it just gave Goku & 17 the most importance with no real story correlation. The TOP probably could have been better set up if they at least established who are the good guys, who are the antagonists and who are the neutrals to give story positions between the relevant universes. Though it was clear universes like U10 that didn't even prepare logically for the TOP were not made to be focused on.

Goku helping hit but not helping Roshi twice in the anime
Goku letting Caulifla and kale escape in 101
Goku training Caulifla
These were both dumb as hell and Goku saving Roshi from frost gives me hope that Toyo will skip all that crap.
So far the manga does over what I hated the anime did with Goku. He is taking this as seriously as necessary in combat purely and only glancing at Jiren but still seeing everyone else as an immediate threat. That is how Goku was in the early movies and that is what makes sense in a royale. Goku just picking 1 character to fight over everyone else from day one, and him wanting to train a girl he literally just met at the tournament to show her how to beat him theoretically was just bad. Everyone should be your enemy in this arc.
What may not happen but something I wish I could appoint to consider are interactions with Freeza and the U6 Saiyans. Just to see him bully them seems like what you would expect from both contrasting characters, that they never met an evil like Freeza before who hates Saiyans. That would be reasonable tension to push Kale & Cabba into desperation to fight in ways we want to see them struggle. Not have Cabba just be the throw away so Kefla (Gotenks 2.0) can take over. I don't want this event.
