I liked it. It was a nice twist.
GT wasn't that bad

He must feel awful. Being a God and no one respects him. Just sad.
And Zamasu thought he had it bad. Fuckin' edgy Kaios thinking about "Justice" and shit just because they got strong by chance.

The misuse of the DBs was awesome but not GT handling of it

Yup, when Bulma storms in on him and Piccolo training the boys and says Boo's going to murder her parents when he attacks West City he just shrugs it off and says they'll revive them with the DBs. It's only when Bulma says she can't make another Dragon Radar if her home gets blown up does Goku get involved. If that wasn't a factor, he would've spent the rest of his day on Earth training Goten and Trunks.
Oh, that's great, completely forgot about that :lol:

If he was that calm about their deaths, moreso he wouldnt care about the lives of beings he doesnt know :lol: so long as the Super Dragon Balls are the prize, I dont see Goku actually thinking about what he's done.

Yeah, shame how even such a great idea can be so royally cocked up. Really, that's the tag line for GT.
When Super apparently shoves Goku down our throats:

I thought it was done pretty nicely. It's certainly one of the parts of GT that I enjoyed the most. SSJ4 Goku punching Ice Shenron like that with his eyes messed up was the trur definition of beastly imo.

I don't know many people who didn't like the idea of the shadow dragons. It's a great concept and I think it should come back in some way.

People just didn't like how it was handled in GT. I found 90% of it to be SO boring. And it went by so fast. I feel like each dragon could have had it's own mini arc.

No, thanks. Such an anticlimatic, it's like: "Fuck Goku's character development guys, in the end we can always have the Dragon Balls to fix everything." I really hope they don't go to that route.
I hope they don't either. I don't want such a "this whole arc was pointless" route either, but ever since they introduced the Super DBs as the prize I can't unsee that being the ending.

Thoughts on episode titles/summary:

-Ep 81 sounds interesting; Gokû messed up bad, he should be taken to task/learn a lesson from it.
-I'm also leaning towards "Omni Kings destroy Toppo for intervening in the match".
-Even though I'd like to have an episode on March 12th, considering where events fell episode-wise I'm ok with that being the skip week since it seems to be the weeks in-between the preliminary matches and the actual gathering for the actual tournament.
-I'm interested in how long Gokû's going to be able to keep the consequences of losing the tournament from everyone he recruits to the team. Surely that's gotta be weighing on Gohan's shoulders to some degree?
-I'm still not feeling this arc and wary that they'll actually bite the bullet and go with the character development they seem to be playing with in regards to Gokû because almost everything with Gokû lately has felt indecisive from behind the scenes.

Why? Toyotaro only writes characters as exposition mouth pieces. If anything that would make it 100x worse.
that's a harsh thing to say,but I'll guarantee selfish Goku is going to appear in the manga, because this Zeno exhibition match is not filler and u9 role is to show how selfish is goku,I'm looking forward to seeing goku vs Bergamo, and my prediction is toppo is going to jump in , and team up with Bergamo to fight against goku

Oh, that's great, completely forgot about that :lol:
The best part is he didn't even need to do this, he could've just called New Namek with Kaio and fixed everything that way :P
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

Why are people so hyped up to see 17? What's so cool about him apart from the fact that he's an android? :? I'm not hating, just to clarify, I just wanna know why :lol:

There's a heroes card with the team of three Goku,Vegeta and 17. I feel like this confirms my suspicion that 17 is gonna have a lot of screen time probably 2nd or 3rd most. (I know heroes cards aren't usually indicative of anything)

Universe 7 Screen time Prediction:
Goku
Vegeta
17
Gohan
Krillin
18
Roshi
Piccolo
Tien
Buu
