I missed the episode, but from I've gathered so far:
- Piccolo won on a technicality as Frost cheated
- Frost is evil
- Piccolo stepped down from fighting in the next match for Vegeta to get a crack at the whip.

I gotta watch the whole episode to get a better perspective, but I'm not really liking what I'm hearing so far.

The preview indicates that Vegeta won't finish off Frost either, so I don't get why so many people are accusing Super of shafting Piccolo for Vegeta.

Because Vegeta vs Frost is completely unnecessary. Piccolo should've continued to fight.

Coming up with an idea of a SSj God was completely unnecessary, right?

Look, it's how Toriyama wants with the story. You guys are looking at a single episode without having a slightest bit of critical thinking and bigger picture. There's your problem.

Dragon Ball is always going to have some "bad" written episodes. A bad written episode is not going end the world.

What do you think Frost would've done to him now that he doesn't have to act nice in front of everyone ? believe me it wouldn't have been pretty so I think Piccolo made the right choice but weather Vegeta did remains to be seen cause I think he was holding back against Goku and we're going to see his true power in the next match.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

If Piccolo continued he would not have faced Frost.

Yeah, we don't even know what's gonna happen to Vegeta vs Frost. So how can we call it unnecessary?

Exactly.

I really hope Hit or Cabba wrecks Vegeta hard now.

Because it is unnecessary. Vegeta's grudge against Freeza should have come full circle in the last arc but Toriyama fucked that up and now seems to be forcing this one to make up for it. Vegeta is literally the last person of the big 3 that should have a problem with Frost but he can't stand his voice so naturally his moment automatically becomes more important.

Not much they can do, other than stop illegally watching the show. I must admit, Piccolo forfeiting is all kinds of bullshit, but I'm very intrigued by the general plot of Super and I'm very interested to see how things pan out.

Also, given my number of posts, I feel as though this is very appropriate:

Nothing we can do, really. We just figured 20 years later would prove a perfect opportunity to just say fuck it and hit the reset button and let some others that don't have blond hair a chance to shine, but it's still the all Saiyans all the time show.

Toriyama does not do this anyone but himself. He is not looking for any fan's approval.

Nothing we can do unfortunately.

My hype is completely dead. This episode confirmed once and for all that this show is just a Goku and Vegeta wank fest.

The problem is you guys are jumping to the conclusion when the show is not even finished.

Ahh don't worry mate maybe there's a universe out there where piccolo and the others are treated with respect as goku and vegeta are instead of being cheerleaders :wink:

Dude.... They made Piccolo forfeit just so Vegeta can have his fucking revenge with the Freeza clone that was already disqualified.

It's bullshit. Piccolo's done.

All this episode confirmed was that Frost was evil and cheating. We still may very well have a long way to go with Super. So the generational that this show will be a Goku and Vegeta wank fest has no real platform until the show ends and a proper judgement can be made.

Piccolo can still play a big role in this arc. You just haven't seen the end of it.
