It doesn't matter if he was or not, he stil benefitted from Kuririn being there.

Kuririn also disqualified contestants, did some teamwork and showed the audience they should pay attention to their surroundings in a setting like that. You might want to compare their roles but the manga doesn't measure up.

Our fates be sealed before the begging of time, destiny awaits! In today's culture, it's becoming increasingly popular for people to coalition together because of this beleif in "humanity", "togetherness as One" and all other large-scale collectivist/Marxist movements where it comes from the belief of "If we "believe", we can do anything" or some other cr@p! which leads to people selling away their sovereignty and God-given freedoms to collectivist movements in the hope of some Utopian theory future sh*t where I can be anything I want to be. lol, yeah no. That's why I like toyotaro, he actaullys keeps things consistent and doesn't cheat (fan service - at least during the zamsu arc) to provide cheap fan service to achieve cheap "pretty narratives". He doesn't have insects like Kuririn and tien doing much because they are weak and useless, as it was MEANT TO BE. And to zeno, yeah zeno is the god of everything! By his will is what keeps the multiverse in tact or not. NOTHING else, no character development or "redemption" for him. Why would he care to have one? And what are petty and insignificant mortals going to do to change the attitude of all powerful zeno? I dream I could do stuff like this. Petty unwise and unruly weaklings dare testify and protest against me to achieve unnatural things? absolute not. Those I would rule who be a flower to my kingdom, they do well - those who try to be a thorn to myself and kingdom, they will BEGONE! People ought to accept that some things ought not meant to be. Accept it and makes use of what you have, dutifully improving on what you have and let fate guide you. Not rig the natural orders of things so you can get what you want. That's actual character stagnation!
Kinda like Kuririn taking on ssj blue even though it made no sense and was beyond stupid, it was just to show "it doesn't matter if you're a human and haven't trained all but for just a few months, you can go against ssj blue goku"... all to instill this "feel good" feeling of human empowerment in dragon ball. The same thing in the future trunks arc with stinking tear gas could confuse gods of ssj ROSE black and zamsu? or giving ssj2 trunks un natural wank just because "it's his story so he deserves it". Rigging the system to get what you want because it makes for "prettier" narrative, irregardless of it actually made sense and was AUTHENTIC.
You realize this is a fictional story and you shouldn't be projecting what you think happens in real life, right?

Aniraza while not supposed to be the one threat to rule them all, is still a considerable one. Kale backstory is in no way interesting enough to have her one panel Aniraza. The whole scene was treated like a joke. A horribly made one at that. I do wonder would you still defend Toyotaro doing the same thing but with Kuririn instead. Maybe Kuririn have some hidden power no one knows about right? Oh maybe he learn UI like Roshi. It's the state of mind with fans like you that vehemently defend Toyotaro. It's like you guys are giving him more chance then he should have gotten.
Kale was relevant to the development of the ToP. Her rampage served as an instrument to the chaotic feeling of the ToP, both anime and manga. Aniraza served no real narrative purpose other than to be a one-episode one-panel boss. Getting hung up about Aniraza is like getting hung up about Burter or Yakon. They aren't that important and are ultimately quickly disposable.

"Vehemently defend Toyotaro" this is ridiculous. Is that what you tell every fan that doesn't agree with your point of view? Roshi served a purpose to the concept of UI that fans like to treat with stupid power levels. Don't blame the people that don't view the series as narrow-minded as you do.

That's exactly what Zeno is. He is a mistake of a DB character in general and a mark that Toriyama has lost it when it comes to expanding the lore.

17 wishing what he did is a defiant stand against these two child clowns. To have them make the Tournament as some kind of morality test is unlikely given their simple characterization.

Yes, vehemently defend Toyotaro. Lets see. Can anybody here criticize Toyotaro's art, paneling, flow of action and/or writing and have any of you Toyotaro fans accept any of it? Heck, a youtube video doing exactly that minus the writing part have received a lot of hate here. A LOT OF HATE. UI Roshi part that isn't actually logical cannot be criticized without being called a hater. Having Goku lose his martial arts prodigy trait is also acceptable to you people. What can't Toyotaro do?

What? So you're telling that Universe 7 divided by four galaxies (North, West, East, South) has only 28 planets with intelelligent life? That's impossible.

No, actually it was well said. Toyotaro is not the right guy to be in charge of directing a Dragon Ball sequel. It's clear that he doesn't comprehend the weight or the size of this franchise, hence why the manga doesn't meet the expectations of large majority of the fan base.

That still begs the question of why they didn’t just erase the universes again after 17 made his wish. If their whole goal was to get rid of the lesser universes because they thought there were too many to keep track of, why did they leave the universes alone after 17 wished them back? Even if we interpret 17’s wish as an act of defiance against these childish assholes, it comes across as hollow when you consider that there’s nothing stopping them from just wiping everything out again.

Dude, calm down. Stop getting triggered over people's opinion. We like toyotaro, and many of us on this forum found toei's dbs to be straight trash. Simple. In comparison to toei, there's high likeyhood we will value toyo's work over toei, because we feel toei did that much of an terrible job on super. If you can't stomach such opinion, you shouldn't be on this forum thread.

All I know is that the description I’ve heard said that the Grand Priest was apparently surprised by #17’s wish, with there being no mention of the Zen-Ohs having planned any of this. I’d be happy to be proven wrong, but I was simply expressing my disappointment at the lack of any mention about the tournament being a test from what we’ve heard thus far. There’s no need to be so confrontational about that.

I find the tourney being a "test" stupid, but I also find them being allowed to just wish back all universes to be extremely stupid as well.

Good start, but I need something more, like a lesson so zeno won't need to wish to erase all of the universes again. He only wanted them gone because they weren't improving and it was stressful looking after all 12 of them.

I mean they can basically do whatever they want. Remember they threatened to destroy the twelve universes because they were angry about Beerus sleeping through their game of hid´n seek. They could simply let them live because they enjoyed the tournament so much. They are overpowered children. Unpredictable and dont really give a dam about mortals.

I actually like them better this way because they fit better with the way Toriyama portrays his gods (incompetent, lazy etc.) rather than the "benevolent" gods the anime kinda sorta portrays them as.
That's a good idea. Because they enjoyed the tournament so much they decide to bring back all universes as a reward.

That’s why making the tournament a test made perfect sense to me. It suggested that Zen-Oh wanted proof that at least one of the lower ranking universes had beings who were capable of showing the necessary compassion that could lead to improvement.

. As I said many times before, it's even worse because there are many fans of the manga that don't want Toyotaro to receive any criticism. If not you, I don't really care but there are people like that. Even in this very thread.
I think , as you said many times before , what bothers you is people with different opinion that yours , open your mind , don’t need to call them defenders , they just think different in that matter .
I’ve been following this forum for a while and everybody has his own points to criticize lots of things about this manga , so the point you are trying to make about “defending all toyo does “ , is not appropriate and not real .
It was as if a whole lot of people ...were screaming in pain....

As you can see, your argument is pretty nonsensical. What the anime does has no bearing on the manga. Your expectations from the anime mean absolutely nothing. Toyotaro isn't at liberty to accommodate the anime's frivolous details.

Your complaint is about as legitimate as watching an episode of Dora the Explorer and being mad that no Mexican Drug Cartels got featured. Your expectations mean nothing. The product delivers a story irrespective of your desires.

Since this "Totally Not Mark" person keeps being brought up, I will bring up someone who actually created something:

Director Scott Derrickson recently talked about this phenomena of people going into things and then judging said things by what they expected instead of just judging them based on their own merits.
Scott Derrickson wrote:I really enjoyed Bohemian Rhapsody. Most criticisms I’ve read about the film say it could’ve been something more. But I refuse to judge a film by I wanted it to be, I receive it for what it is. You think a good critic should judge a film not being what he/she wanted it to be? No, thats a bad critic. A good critic judges films - good or bad - based on what they are — it’s the film that matters, not a critic’s expectations or opinions about what it should have been.
Of course, I only mention this point because it so strongly matches up with mine. I'm fairly tired of these lengthy talking points that amount to "Why isn't the manga doing what the anime did?" Different medium, different author, different story. Leave the baggage you bring in from the anime and engage with the different story being told.

Now back to your point specifically: in the manga, "Aniraza" is just a fusion with lots of power that got eliminated by Kale. That's all he amounts to, and that's all he needs to be.

I understood what you said, I just pointed out that wasn't said in the manga.

Scott Derrickson wrote:I really enjoyed Bohemian Rhapsody. Most criticisms I’ve read about the film say it could’ve been something more. But I refuse to judge a film by I wanted it to be, I receive it for what it is. You think a good critic should judge a film not being what he/she wanted it to be? No, thats a bad critic. A good critic judges films - good or bad - based on what they are — it’s the film that matters, not a critic’s expectations or opinions about what it should have been.
Since you said stuff like "this is how a battle royal should be", maybe you could take that hint as well.
