So confused at the amount of people saying this was one of the best episodes in the entire series
This episode was really mediocre. The Namekians felt like complete fodder, and the whole thing about them absorbing every Namekian resulted in absolutely nothing. I couldn't wait to see the Universe 2 fight be over already, I have absolutely had enough of the love shit. It doesn't matter which character is yelling about it, it's just annoying as hell. Why do they continually make a point to tell us Goku is out of stamina and then show that he's not out of stamina at all? Why and how can he go Blue, and be strong enough to destroy a black hole? Come on already, this is the perfect opportunity to stop giving us Goku every episode. Just let him sit out for one or two, like holy shit TOEI it's not going to kill you.
Wasn't this episode hyped up like hell as in the animation was gonna be really good? Wow, talk about overhyped. Can't even think of one scene that stood out. The Universe 6 erasure moment was not what I was expecting at all. A lot of lightheartedness, and they prove once again that they have no idea what the hell they're doing with Champa's character. Beerus' reaction was "say something". Is he talking to himself, or was he pissed off that Champa didn't even say anything?
But I will say the parts with the Namekians and the army of fused Namekians behind them was pretty cool and creepy. What was even creepier though was Kami and Nail, especially Kami. Those black holes in his eyes, damn that's dark looking. Although, what was the point of showing Nail and Kami anyway? All Kami did was point to Gohan. Okay??
All in all I was severely disappointed and I really have no idea what the point was of saving the Namekians for last. I called it last week too, that TOEI would fuck it up and reduce them to complete fodder and whaddya know, they did it. I see a lot of people praising the writing in this episode and how it gave them the feels but I guess I must be some sort of emotionless zombie because I felt nothing for U2 or U6, and I was expecting to get pretty emotional at U6 being erased. Otherwise the writing was good, but nothing stand-out extraordinary. I guess by Super's standards it must be incredible writing though.
NEP looks interesting, seems that Gohan and Piccolo are going to have to fight the characters they ringed out. Someone from U7 needs to get erased already.
I guess I'm going to have to rewatch this one because think I am more confused about the reaction to this episode than any other episode in the series as to how my opinion differs from everyone elses.
