I too like it. He's very no-nonsense this time around. Definitely prefer it to cocky 17.

U7 legitimately is just too stacked. When half of your team are on the SSB level class, then you know you're stacked. Only a handful of other fighters will even be able to stand up to them (among them from what we know - Jiren and Toppo). I agree that they'll likely have Jiren in a few episodes clean house with a few fighters. Though I honestly see him wrecking at least one or two of the SSB level fighters (Vegeta, Freeza, or Hitto I feel at least one of them is going to get wrecked by him). Of course, there's always the chance some of these other fighters we haven't seen yet are powerful too. I am pretty confident though that U7 has overall the strongest team. U6's lucky break is that they're pretty much the deuteragonist universe here.
If you think about it, the strongest person in U7 would've been Frieza or Buu. If this tournament was held while Goku didn't make an appearance, then U7 truly would've been one of the first ones out. It's all due to Goku and Vegeta that everyone Is this strong.

I think U7 overpowering everyone due to being the second lowest mortal level is a testimony that their "mortal level" ratings might be flawed. The Grand Priest Has definitely taken a liking to Goku and his universe. So I'm not surprised that they are the underdogs.
This is all true.

As far as the episode went, Jiren smacking Ribrianne's heart away in contrast to Dyspo and Toppo blushing and getting flustered had me laughing myself.

That was probably the first time Jiren has been entertaining and it was only because his lack of personality contrasted so hard with Toppo's and Dyspo's personalities.

Well considering that back in the old days, apart from the 21st Budokai, each tournament was just fodder to Goku and the big bad we are actually better of this time since there are technically three big players instead of two.

that scene had me laughing in the ground,just how Jiren was in comparison to his comrades, I don't think he belong to the pride trooper,he doesn't show concern to his teammate :think: I think he just joined just to punch stuff instead of saving the world

They better give a personality to that guy soon,and his design doesn't help. He's rarely said anything for weeks since appearing, and we've seen so many stoic quiet guys in this show too.

Agreed. Though I have a feeling I'll probably like him more later on. He is pretty boring at the moment lol. I do like his design (not my favorite but I like it). I'm also curious, if there's a reason he simply gives no fucks about almost everything or if he just doesn't. The latter is very likely, though I just like speculating.

If they do anything with him that could possibly be to your liking, it probably won't be for a few episodes as I suspect they'll continue to not give him screen time for awhile.

Think this is a point thats actually very interesting and over looked. Jiren as the attitude of a true loner yet he's part of a big, dynamic team. While they are of shouting "justice" and doing poses.....Jiren is like the worlds most roided out statue!

What did Toppo do to get him to join the Pride Troopers? Take a blink for a yes and Jiren just rolled with it because he gives that little a f@#k?

They probably won't do much with Jiren until it's his time to be a threat.

Hit hardly did anything at all in the Universe 6 saga until he started fighting. He just sat there with his eyes closed without doing or saying anything.

Still don't have a scan, but I can offer an easier to understand translation of the potential spoilers (the other one doesn't appear to be written by a native English speaker).

103: Harden Your Heart, Gohan! The Showdown with Universe 10!!
17 has achieved victory against Kakunsa. In a rage, Ribrianne tries to attack him. At that moment, Zircor challenges Ribrianne to a fight. Meanwhile, Gokuu squares off against Jimizu.

104: A Battle Transcending Light Speed Begins! Gokuu and Hit’s United Front!!
Due to Gohan’s efforts, Universe 10’s warriors are wiped out. Universe 10 gets eliminated. At that time, Hit and Dispo, being fellow top warriors, were starting to fight on the battle stage. Dispo has a strategy for Hit’s Time Skip, but…?

105: Furious Battle! Muten Roushi Ignites!!
Muten Roushi has practiced self-control to rid himself of his worldly desires, but can he resist the temptation of Universe 4’s sexy Caway?

Lol, hate to say this but I didn't really mind #17 stealing the show. He was pure, unadulterated badass... And this #17 theme....Man, he was freaking awesome!


I just wonder what's going on with Vegeta. He just disappeared LOL.

Who knows. Toppo also called him his "sworn friend." I'm curious if there's more about him. I mean yeah, they don't plan to do shit with him for some time, but at the same time, he legit just doesn't give a fuck about anything. He doesn't pose, doesn't bat an eye at the team, he's just keeping to himself, and would just watch everyone else if left alone.

I can see it know....

Toppo: You are really strong You should join the Pride Troopers!

Jiren: Why?

Toppo: To fight evil, to protect the innocent, to uphold Justice!

Jiren: No.

Toppo: What!? Why!?

Jiren: I dont care about that sort of thing.

Toppo: Really!? But why not!? Surely the thought of being a mighty, honorable and beloved hero must ster something in your breast?

Jiren: No.

Toppo: Really!? Then let me do one of my great poses, maybe that will help!

Jiren: No it wont.

Toppo: (Justice Pose)

Jiren: Stop, Now.

Toppo: We'll what do you like then?

Jiren: fighting strong people.

Toppo: Well we Pride Troopers do that all the time. We patrol the universe for powerful evildoers.

Jiren: Ok I'll join then.

Toppo: You will! This is a cause for great celebration! You are now my Sworn Friend!

Jiren: No.

Toppo: I will come up with some awe inspiring poses for you to do with the rest of us.

Jiren: No.

Lol, I'm pretty sure that was filler. But nonetheless, it was still an awesome and funny scene.

I'd pay to get a flashback in this tournament for that. That sounds hilarious. How does one become a Pride Trooper. Do they just sort of try out? Do they have to fight one of the actual members and put in a good showing? Do they have to take some villain down to show their worth?

I hope Jiren just trips and falls off the ring on his own before he has a chance to fight anyone, never showing his personality in the process.
"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. It seems Dragon Ball has grown on me so much that I can't leave it alone." - Akira Toriyama on Dragon Ball Super
