This was a great episode. Toshio's great writing is totally being a pattern, not only he is cool on Twitter, his episodes are awesome. Great guy!
There is a lot to talk about. The episode had very cool action and tones of exposition dump, which is great, so many things have been clarified and many headcanons should be dropped.
The SSG returns, Goku just taps into it like any other transformation. It's funny to remember all the hate the manga and Toyotaro received for the same and in the anime he could do it all this time too. Toyotaro just made a much better work telling us how the form works. So, the idea that it's only possible to become SSG with the ritual has to be dropped. The SSG base theory is debunked too, because why would he transform if he had the power in base anyway. I'm sure Vegeta can transform too, I hope we see it, the manga brought it, but the anime is the one with colors.
Hit vs Dyspo was so cool. First it was fun to hear about Dyspo's resemblance with Beerus and Champa. Dyspo's superspeed and great hearing nullify the time skip. Hit was going to win anyway, if it had been one on one, he tricked him. But it's a team battle, Kunshee saves Dyspo and they start fighting two on one. There comes Goku in red.
Goku's form is stated to have the advantage of draining less stamina but lower power and speed. I have to drop the idea tha the red could be faster than the blue here, that's what I thought before. He taps to the blue only to attack, that's like in the manga. Apart from maintaining this form consumes less, I think tapping to the blue from red many times has to consume less than doing it the same amount of times from base, does it make sense?
Well, Dyspo is still fast enough to fight Goku in red and not let him use the instant transmission. But Goku has the blue yet. Kunshee uses his energy whips as defense, but Hit uses his distant move, which we saw in the filler episode before, that was cool. However, Hit and Goku switch, Hit wants to handle Dyspo on his own, Goku totally gets it.
The second time Hit uses Dyspo's tactic against him and he is able to confuse him and surprise him. He is going to win, but Kunshee sacrifices himself to save Dyspo, who is a more valuable fighter and escapes. I think Goku will have his revenge too, Hit totally had it.
Goku asks Hit about their rematch, Hit decides not yet, they are in a truce now, for the help. Both are so cool!
Heno heno kappa!
...neat.
Overall it was a pretty technical fighting episode where moves/techniques/strategies are really clashing with each other. Normally it's just power vs power with a little strategy mixed in that gets figured out rather quickly. And I like Champa a lot. He provided great comedic relief during the tense parts of the fight so I thought the writing was well done for this episode. Also the vuvuzela things was hilarious as was the replay addition to the godPad.
