The show gets so few listens on that service that I see no reason to pay for the extra space. Last episode was too long to keep up and still post another one.

Got it. I was just asking. Love the podcast, by the way. Keep it up!

I really, truly, honestly "believe" and "buy" Trunks' power-up. With all the shit he's going through, with all the rhetoric being spewed at him by gods, with the combination of overwhelming support and overwhelming berating coming from the very heroes he came back in time to recruit? I buy it. He earned that. He 100% deserves that and I 100% believe what I see on screen. That's so much more satisfying to me than some of those other examples, and I think does truly correlate with some of the other major, iconic transformations we've seen in the series.

Same goes with the Genki-Dama-inspired sword. The whole arc we're being shown this group of survivors (children, parents, resistance solders, etc.) that truly believe in Trunks. That's such a logical and fulfilling thing to see come to fruition, and I think it's also what makes their loss at the hands of Zen'o even more devastating.

I was going to type something up regarding this, but you've summed up my feelings about both of these very well. There was enough there in this arc - through SHOW and not TELL - that through F.Trunks' inner monologues, emotions, and perspective that make both of those events very believable to me. I really like that the show didn't feel that it had to hammer in an explain everything, and let us viewers really get into where F.Trunks was coming from.

Great listen BTW!
