Really poor way to finish the tournament. Having Yashima on the "finale" seemed odd but there was very little action, still though Yashima doing the finale... his art is just never get used too, especially base Goku. He also tends to draw SSGSS Goku without the bang, which like the baseball ep makes it odd when he gets corrected in a shot with the bang, one moment Goku doesn't have the bang the next he does...lol.
Overall the U6 arc has honestly been a disappointment on this re-watch, #38 was the only stand out one and even then that is nothing special compared to other episodes, hell there were better individual episodes in the retellings than anything in the U6 arc. Just goes to show how boring standard tournament are, seemed not much creativity to be had as opposed to what we're getting in the ToP.
I am interested in how things in the Trunks arc hold up, ~2 months till that starts up.

Watching the current arc simultaneously with the U6 arc via dub weekly... it is no contest really current arc is 100% better in every aspect, even "meh" episodes of this arc are better than most from that arc. The supervision, animation, consistency in art, the filter, direction, SB even the music all sooo much better.
I agree with everything you stated. U6 was indeed pretty bland aside from 38. I think this especially shines through now we have the TOP arc going on at the same time, another tournament.
For my own rating on Super so far; i would dare to say that the level we're at right now quality wise is a solid 7,8 for me, very close to DBZ level which i would give a 8,5. U6 arc seperately was a 6 for me, FT arc seperately was a 7,7.
If we keep getting the same quality as we've been getting since the Goku vs Jiren fight happened i'd definitely change my rating to a solid 8 in a few weeks.
Everything after Goku vs Jiren up until this point has been a step up in quality, i hope this kind of quality can be maintained throughout the whole series from here on out though, it might not since i still remember Goku vs Jiren to be stated as the beginning of the climax, which means we're still in the climax. So what does that mean? Does it mean we're going to see a downgrade in overall quality again after this so called 'climax' ends (like with the FT arc climax with 66, that was clearly just a one night stand)?
My guess would be: no.
Since this climax has been going on for a few episodes now, and if they're able to produce this quality stuff for like 3 more weeks, then for me it's pretty much confirmed that the schedule for Super is able to maintain this new higher standard and that we've reached greater heights for the entire rest of Super (unless something bad happens to the Studio/animators/show ofc).
So is this upgrade in overall quality a result of the climax (resulting this upgrade to just be for like a few episodes) or is it due to an actual better standard schedule? I hope it's the second one.
Opinions/thoughts anyone?
