Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Official Announcement & Discussion Thread
Goku might start fighting jiren next episode itself, how can that possibly be the final fight

Him being the final fighter is just fan speculation. for all we know he'll be the 1st one Goku defeats.Ki Breaker wrote:Goku might start fighting jiren next episode itself, how can that possibly be the final fight
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

Ok well if tanked ain't the right word, I'll just say took a full power hit from Goku with only his cloths getting ripped and bare minimum damage.HeroR wrote:
He didn't tank it since he was tired and was hurt even if it was minor. Tanking me no injures at all and not tired.
And tired?
Dose not look tired to me. As always in DB, Toppo is just getting serious.
Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Official Announcement & Discussion Thread
Yeah this is a huge contrast to someone like Jiren or Toppo. They don't even feel like they are in the same league when it comes to individualized personality. I'm really really not feeling Jiren so far as a villain. My favorite villians in Dragonball are over confident and taunt their opponent without being spoiled brats. My favorite being of the main canon being Cell movie villians being Cooler.Jigurashi wrote:Recoome will always hold a special place in my heart. He was a fun villain with one of my favorite fights in the series. I loved when he was just trolling Vegeta by playing the part by acting like he was hurt.TheMikado wrote:Idk, I feel like they lack the charisma that the Ginyu force had. Especially like Ginyu and Reecome. I'd say they have the flair down.Jigurashi wrote: Agreed. I'd love to get a Pride Troopers spin off or even a special about them. Seeing all 10 of them interacting with each other would be great.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Official Announcement & Discussion Thread
To be fair, your never going to feel that because he's not a villain. He's a the strongest hero from an organisation that protects an entire universe. The Pride Troopers are like DCs Green Lanterns or Marvels Nova Core. He just happens to be the antagonist in this situation.TheMikado wrote:Yeah this is a huge contrast to someone like Jiren or Toppo.

Edit: Also I just noticed........Jiren has not posed once....
That feels......odd given how everyone else in his team acts.
Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Official Announcement & Discussion Thread
Why do people want the Pride Troopers to be copies of Ginyu Force? They are fine this way.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Official Announcement & Discussion Thread
I thought Jiren was pretty epic. The part where he just just friggen ends up behind Goku is intense. Especially since Goku knows IT and he was still flabbergasted.

This time around I am hoping for jiren, being the strong guy to look forward to, to actually lose early on..

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Official Announcement & Discussion Thread
Impossible. It's more likely that Goku will power-up and improve a lot while fighting Jiren, but it doesn't necessarily mean Goku will beat him. We don't even know what kind of abilities Jiren has.Ki Breaker wrote:Goku is going to show him whos the better fighter..GodKaio-Ken wrote:I thought Jiren was pretty epic.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Official Announcement & Discussion Thread
It's quite possible actually, he could be taken out by a team effort from hit and Goku as well, either way I don't feel supportive of him being the strongest guy there who they have the last fight withemperior wrote:Impossible.

Bottom part: I'm not sure that will happen but it could. As long as they have a good fight ill be happy.
Also FWIW to others - I loved how Goku was like "Let me go greet them" but then with Toppo hes more or less like "Yo what up lil b****." lmao

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Official Announcement & Discussion Thread
since when is Jiren a villian.
and why bring up ginyu force? they are completly diffrent kinds of teams.
sometimes you ppl talk to much sh*t tbh.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Official Announcement & Discussion Thread
I don't, it doesn't matter to me either way. But the Ginyu force was so honestly campy it was enjoyable. Even pure evil guys like Recoome and Captain Ginyu whole heartedly got in on the act. From what we've seen of Jiren he's purposefully designed to be completely uninteresting from his personality to his visual design. Yet we're getting comparisons to the incredibly animated Ginyu force. I'm saying I'm not seeing the comparison other than a group of fighters that happen to pose on occasion.emperior wrote:Why do people want the Pride Troopers to be copies of Ginyu Force?

The funny thing about this is that this is literally the EXACT same thing Goku did to the Ginyu force when he first met them. I guess it's a homage, idk?GodKaio-Ken wrote:I thought Jiren was pretty epic. The part where he just just friggen ends up behind Goku is intense.

Even Recoome is way more interesting in his interactions and posing.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Official Announcement & Discussion Thread
Interesting how a surprisingly large number of people want cauliflowa tortured/dead/spanked/thrown/blown full of holes etc..
It seems like everyone is against her in some way or the other, this much raw hatred for a character is pretty rare..

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Official Announcement & Discussion Thread
I think that's horrible. They are making her unnecessarily aggressive and uncooperative for no reason, but there series has always had that same issue with powerful female characters. If they are powerful they are automatically bratty @$$holes too... I.e. GT Pan...Ki Breaker wrote:Interesting how a surprisingly large number of people want cauliflowa tortured/dead/spanked/thrown/blown full of holes etc..

This was actually my biggest fear of Super introducing females Saiyans. They would be reduced to that same DB trope of powerful women being uncooperative.

Breathing hard and sweating is usually a sign that someone been work.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Official Announcement & Discussion Thread
I think we already know the first people who will be eliminated:
Ganos, because Goku is already fighting him.
Murichim: He is going for Toppo, and his pun is for Hopeless Universe, it wouldnt make sense if he forces him to fight seriously.
Female Pride Trooper also seemed to be in trouble, i hope they dont have Roshi taking her out because it wouldnt make sense..

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Official Announcement & Discussion Thread
How would it not make sense? We don't know how strong she is. Every member of a particular universe doesn't have to be Godlike and ever member doesn't have to be fodder. Who's to say her race isn't weaker than humans? Who's to say she got on the team because they only had 48 hours and she was the first to respond? Who's to say she doesn't rely on techniques and trickery to get the job done?perucho1990 wrote:Female Pride Trooper also seemed to be in trouble, i hope they dont have Roshi taking her out because it wouldnt make sense..
We shouldn't say Roshi/Tien/Kuririn doing well is nonsensical because they're weak compared to the fighters we already know. To be weak or strong are meaningless labels when compared to nothing. Roshi's strong when compared to Bulma. Roshi's weak when compared to Goku. That Pride Trooper ain't Goku.
What you can say is, It may be disappointing if there are a multitude of fighters that Roshi can defeat through raw power, but you can't say it doesn't make sense for Roshi to be able to defeat someone we've never seen fight. Would it make sense for Vegeta to be able to defeat her, is so, why?
