I wasn't expecting the whole "locket" thing to happen. I guess that was kind of sad.

Gohan still hasn't learned how to dodge.

Still pissed the whole Botama/Magetta combo was completely brushed aside. A good idea completely wasted.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

One thing I've been noticing is that always the first half of the episode is always boring/nothing interesting occurs. This is kinda lame and a waste. That means more could have done if both halves were used properly.

Funnily enough, not dodging actually helped him in this instance.

Yeah, hopefully it's just a way to give the later episodes more attention and those will be great all the way through.

Wow, this episode managed to make me feel sympathize for at least one of the u10 members!

Hit wasn't nerfed, the anime just overpowered him which is nothing new.
It's a weird situation Hit is in. I'm certain there is much more to how Dyspo speed power works. In the NEP, we see him fighting both SSJG Goku and Hit and he has the both of them on the ropes. The next episode is going to be super interesting.

I really loved the interaction between Gohan and Piccolo after Universe 10 was erased. Gohan knew deep inside that he felt sorry for the fighter with the locket (forgot his name), but Piccolo knew that in order for their own survival, they couldn't waste having sympathy for those that could cause their own universe's destruction.

Didn't they get separated when Kale went Super Saiyan Berseker mode?

Fights were absolute trash, though, even if I appreciate the creative ability of Opni.
Agreed,I just wish gohan vs Opni lasted a bit longer,they should have cut botamo and u2 scene a bit

The problem is they overpowered him AND underpowered Dyspo with his initial showing. Which makes things seem terrible. It would've been different if dyspos speed completely helped him dominate that alien. But he just came across as helpless without Toppo.

The problem are the writers. You say they made him "too strong" in the Champa arc, but now they have to make him weak for whatever reason. How does this not bug people? They screwed things up and people are essentially defending it for whatever reason. Why can't people just acknowledge they mess up? A lot?

Its ether Dyspo is so fast he can strike before the Time-Skip takes effect or like a super-speedster, he's perception of time his different to others.

They didn't nerf Hit. Dyspo is just a bad match-up for Hit since Dyspo has a technique which renders Hit's Time-skip useless.

Dyspo isn't alone, look like blue pride trooper has a restraining ability or something with his ropes.

Yep, that has been case since the beginning of the arc, before it was the complete opposite.

Lets be glad another Non U6/U7 guy got an elimination(Jimizu on Zircol).

Its inconsistent, I ain't saying its not, but if HIt wasn't as overpowered as he was, this would have made more sense.
