IIRC Saiyan Saga(Vegeta/Nappa Invasion) had around 14 episodes of buildup.

That was with the filler. Kai's entire Saiyan arc was that long.

Super isn't following a manga so there's no excuse for it to be this slow.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

Why whis waste his time training two jackasses that are not worth of his time,whis should only train with goku and vegeta, and I just hate the idea of gohan getting god ki
Whis wasting his time? And what would he be doing instead? Eating?

I wouldn't mind those 2 going to Whis.
whis should Make Goku and Vegeta way stronger, and whis is wasting his time if he is going to training Gohan, imagine this Gohan gets ssb, but loses that form because he is studying, you see the point, piccolo and Gohan should train with the kaioshin, and have old kai reunlock Gohan, unlock piccolo potential , it just make more sense

It doesn't really need to be excuse. Taking things slow can be a good thing, especially in an arc that's trying to include so many of the old fighters. These episodes will probably be the best shine these guys will get in this arc.
When Super apparently shoves Goku down our throats:

I'm all for the characters getting things to do, I just think they could've done a better job at it.

I know the Krillin and #18 stuff ddin't go down well but you cannot say "could've been done better" until we finish it. Not saying it will match your expectations but you never now, give it a chance.

Yikes!

"Yurin"... sounds very awkward to English speakers...

Also, it's quite a major red flag that they are still dragging this out. JUST GET ALL TEN FIGHTERS NOW, FOR GOODNESS' SAKE!
I bet the actual battle royale will be 1-2 episodes. Typical Toei... ironically.
DRAGON BALL IS THE KING OF (Fighting) ANIME!!!!!!! In my opinion, at least... :think:

My reaction to anything about Dragon Ball post-2013 that I don't like and/or is stupid. :P

Oh while we're at it let's just no have anyone else do anything. Just have everyone give their ki to Goku and Vegeta, have them go full power to blow 90% of the tournament away with mere aura, and leave it at that :lol:.

Not sure how having actual build-up to major events is "dragging it out".

No worse than the dilemma over how to pronounce "Uranus".

Obviously it will the Manga is promo for the anime remember and why the Manga will never feel like a whole product.
By blow past it, I mean not even have the scenes in the manga.

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

Why should Whis waste his time training the fighter with the most potential, and the smartest fighter for a tournament deciding the universes fate? *Throws hands in air *

And inb4 he loses that power,like seriously why do people obsessed over the fact will jump in to god tier, I like Gohan, but doing this is not a smart idea
    I mean Gohan got ssj2,a couple of years later he got rusty
      Gohan got his potential,a couple of years later he looses a lot of that power, and now if gohan gets a transformation like SS rage or ssb,a couple of years he will lose it, enough of This,I'm sick of the constant backpedaling on this characters​,he don't need to be strong to be revelant
        and in universe it wouldn't make sense, whis know someone name jiren is stronger than toppo, toppo the Same guy who fought on par with goku ssgss, and he was surpressed,so wouldn't be a smart idea if whis pushes goku and vegeta to their limits,instead of wasting time with someone else

            Established.....by proving he isn't at all what they wanted him be and showing they might as well have someone else in his spot?

            Why not ? The anime is its own continuity. Just because it happened in the manga doesn't mean we can't see our supporting cast do cool stuff.

            Depends on what satisfies your sense of cool, I suppose. If you're the sort that wants to see major contributions and think this perhaps-"filler" is building up to that, I'd taper expectations.

            Oh, I see what you mean now. I thought you were implying If they do cool stuff during the tournament then it doesn't matter if it's not in the manga. I guess you're right.
