That was a very good episode. I have very little negative to say, really, but I'll get it out of the way: the beam struggle extended for far too long. Super has had real issues with maintaining intensity, and its extended power-ups and struggles don't help. Fortunately, it was a tiny portion of the episode.

Yuya Takahashi delivered a Shida-esque cut towards the end of the episode that looked great. It's a shame it was so short, but it looks like next week has a couple of tricks up its sleeve, too (though there was that first cut that looked awful). I can almost forgive last week's total lack of motion! God, you have no idea how happy it made me finally see genuine motion. Our first cut of genuinely impressive animation in Super. It's a mini-lankmark!

In terms of structure, I really enjoyed the little cutaways. Mr Satan believing his "power of love" saved the day was absolutely perfect. That's just the right way to use that character without feeling like an unnecessary cutaway. Great stuff.

The new ending animation was surprisingly sweet. After initially disliking what I heard, I have to admit that the song has definitely grown on me. I love everyone's faces in their cars -- Piccolo and Vegeta, especially.

This love-hate relationship with Super is fun. I'm excited to watch this all back in a year's time and see how I feel then. Bring on next week!

First? Are you forgetting episode 2? That part where the little yellow alien kills the big dinosaur.

Is it just me or did 100% Goku and 100% Beerus didnt look like the gap between them was that big at all, loved the part when Beerus was being "wtf how can u hit me if your god form ran out of juice" not looking forward to the next ep tbh, the fight on the preview looked like ep5 tier.
Except Beerus didn't use his full power against Goku.
He kinda did, he said so himself then later Goku said so as well, on the movie both of them stated that they were holding back. Its either you believe what Beerus said or not.

Not according to Herms and I'm certainly going to take his word over anyone else's.

No, that wasn't particularly memorable. I mean, the fire was nice and the flip was well animated, but it was hardly anything I'd call "impressive".

I don't know how many times Goku has used the Kamehameha in this arc. He probably used it more times in this entire arc than he did in Dragon Ball Z's entirety, Jesus Christ.

The only thing I didn't really like about this episode (and the last one, really) was how the entire universe is supposed to be in this grave danger and yet they only ever showed us the reaction in Satan City and Kaioshin's realm. There's no sense of scale to this at all.

I know that doing updated character designs and making new backgrounds for all those different locations takes time and money but it really would have gone a long way in making the battle of Gods seem like the big deal that everyone's been hyping it up to be.

Besides it wouldn't be a good look for the hero goku to show people on other planets being destroyed.

By all means pls do, at the end of the day I'm pretty sure he got delayed and didnt wait for Beerus to finish what he was saying, true he said that after nullifying the universal shockwave but later said now he doesnt care anymore and just wants to beat Goku no matter how uncool he looks, I guess u dont know what "haku pacento" means.

I certainly will. He's pretty much the best translator (or at least one of the best) this site has to offer.

I'm talking more about reactions of people in other cities on Earth (Upa's village, Karin's Tower, West City, etc.), or reactions on planets like Namek.

Showing a floating rock in space we know nothing about (is it even inhabited?) being vaporized isn't the same thing at all.

My stream was lagging so I missed about half the episode, but it looked ok. What happened that the universe didn't explode?
