These opponents are supposed to be the best in their universes respectively. Imagine anyone in U7 being taken out by a f'ing stinky shoe.

I need to look into who wrote this so I can expect their episodes to be flat out garbage.
What. Majori is blind and Krilin disabled his primary sense with his stinky shoe. He did the best he could do.

By the way, Krilin is the luckiest guy in the world. His wife is a 10 hot, she brought a lot of money home with her 'deal' with Mr Satan and apparently she cleans his shoes too.
It was just an idiotic tactic to write into such a serious competition. I absolutely hated it. The guy doesnt really exist, they intentionally wrote him that way JUST FOR THE SHOE.

The rest of the episode wasnt "terrible" and I enjoyed some parts but that idiotic scene killed it for me.

I feel the shoe part would've been better if it wasn't over the top gas cloud coming from it. But it was a clever dirty strategy from Krillin, who's been shown to do dirty tactics in tournaments - Giving Roshi panties, Sucker punching Goku after a distraction.

I really like Krillin and it just seemed really out of place. If they were going to eliminate him like that so early Id rather have seen him actually have a back and forth battle rather than just win a gag match.

His team attack with 18 was good though.

U10 is definetly fucked lol. Poor Gowasu. Such a waste of universe....I seriously wonder why only 6-7 and 4-9 actually look like twin universes. They also look the more Toriyama-esque.

This is Dragon Ball dude. Comedy should always be there in some way. Personally I think that scene was way better than Krillin vs the Parrotmon dude. He was Roshi tier yet Krillin launched THREE deadly attacks without wanting to kill him.

I understand about comedy in DB but its not even funny considering the stakes of the tournament. It would be like if they took a diaper from Pan into the future and threw it at Goku Black to distract him.

I just personally thought most of the episode was really poorly written and uninteresting. I disliked the tying up of Botamos arms too...

Having comedy in serious fights happens to every series, Naruto used Oiroke no Jutsu on Kaguya, when the world was on stake for example.

In DB, what about Mr Satan "fighting Cell", how it was presented in Z was more stupid than the stinky shoe from DBS Episode 99.

Mayora was a minor character, not someone like Toppo, Hit, etc.., so he was expendable.

Krillin shoe idea wasn't bad at all, it was classic Krillin and his underhanded tactics..

Only if Black's one weakness was baby poop. I guess Zamasu was a bit obsessed with beauty so baby poop could be a logical weakness but...

Majora relies on his nose exclusively it seems, so taking that sense away is sensible. How it's executed is one thing, but the strategy to take advantage of the opponents weakness is sound enough. Vegeta tried to do the same to the Universe 6 guys but having previously fought one another it seems they came up with a...somewhat silly but effective battle plan around that.

5. Why did Future Zen'o accept Goku's invitation to the present?
6. The guaridans are stronger than the Grand Priest?

Someone could answer these...?
It's been taken for granted he blew the whole timeline, but I'm not so sure. No such line was said, but something more generic as world. So it could be that the whole timeline is gone, but I think there could be other options with that wording. It could be just universe 7 the one gone. Maybe the timeline still exists with eleven universes.

1: Could be, but the wording wasn't precise.

2: Four guardians are probably filler mistake, now they are two. But we don't know anything about this guys, there could be more of them somewhere.

3: If the whole timeline was erased, that would include the Daishinkan. I think...

4: Well, he didn't stay there that long. If his home was fine, he would have gone there soon enough.

5: Why wouldn't he accept, he was offered a friend.

6: I don't think so, they look extremely strong, but the Daishinkan is probably stronger.
So episode 77 was still a filler episode?

They don't stay 4 at all. In one episodw they are 4, then the next, they are 2, then some episodes later they are 4 and then next episode they are 2. It's just inconsistent nonsense.

Ok, being filler episode or not is not relevant, but I do think having four was Toei's call, which is strange, because in the present there were just two. Now, for no reason, we have just two again. But, as I said right next, maybe there's a place with more of their kind somewhere.

Hahaha it's almost like it's written and animated by multiple people who don't bother to make sure what they are doing is consistent with others on their team. Isn't that what the head/lead director is for? I swear it feels like DB Super episodes are done by freelance writers and animators who are remotely issued assignments and never get in a single room together.

His weakness was gas :D

The best thing of Vegeta punching Botamo is that it looked miles better than when Goku did it in episode 33.

I noticed that we will have a Freeza cameo in every episode, last episode it was with Freeza wanting to dethrone the Zenos, I wonder what will he do in episode 99? Sneak attack ala Frost thus eliminating Caulifla?

I do believe that's the case, though why someone would get the idea there should be 4 seems fishy. Whoever are handling the episodes must have thought each Zeno should have 2 guards, without appreciating the context of there being 2 Zeno in the first place.
