It's multiple comercial breaks throughout the hour.
Actually, part of me wouldn't mind getting commercials out the way and the watching the episode all the way through. But I guess it wouldn't matter if you pay for Crunchyroll.
I don't even have to pay for Daisuki, and yet i can watch it completely add free! Along with HD 1080p quality. If you don't pay for Crunchyroll, you can get as much as a dozen adds during a single episode.

I definitely support the theory that this tournament isn't the main event of this arc now. Which to me, is a good thing.
Well, maybe the time runs out and there still people on the field, that would be logical. Never thought that 48 minutes would be enough to a Battle Royale with 80 fighters and to me it is also a good thing if the Tournament Of Power is not the main dish of the arc

Are we too old to enjoy new Dragon Ball movies/series?

Guys, I'm going to be straight with you. If you feel the show has gotten 'silly' ... it hasn't. You're just 'too old for this shit'. Seriously, 95% of the people in those boards do not fit the target demographic of the show, so don't expect the show to be 'everything you hoped for'. I'm referring to the people here who expect Super to be rich with dark moments, serious storytelling, meaningful characters etc etc. It won't. It's a show for kids. A show for kids being kids. Everyone in those boards has a manchild in him/her, clamoring to get out, and that's fine. But having unrealistic expectations (such as believing the show grew up alongside you) is naïve at best. Honestly, do you take seriously a story where the supposed God of Destruction halts his urges to blow up stuff in order to eat ice cream sundae? That's the show's silliness at full force, take it for what it is. The show hasn't matured one bit, so don't expect it too. Again, I'm not saying that's a bad thing. I'm saying *that* is DB and always will be.

Daisuki all the way.
I just recently heard about Daisuki. Isn't it shutting down? Didn't realize it was ad free
I'm very likely to be in the minority opinion here but my reaction to the shots of the new transformation and Goku's battle with Jiren are like "Eh... Whatever". Ostentatious Saiyan transformations are sadly one of the most hackneyed features of Dragon Ball. I do give credit for the Limit Breaker form employing unorthodox aesthetics and being acquired through a potentially different means than what's normal. With that said, I wish something could else be done to mount a strong resistance than by using the caricatural power up strong-arm method. Frankly, I find the Dracula Man with Puar/Upa and Guldo fights to have more originality behind them than some of these climactic battles. Sure, they don't have nearly the same amount of choreography or budgetary glamour as the Goku fights, but they do manage to stand out for their originality. Puar and Upa fighting Dracula Man remains as one of the few scarce examples of tactics and ingenuity overcoming raw power.
My most interested aspects of the fight are Goku's Kaioken x20, the cyborgs offering their energy, and Freeza's menacing panel with a strong purple colour format overlying the shot.

Yes, all services will end except for Dragon Ball Super.
Well, in the beginning, when i first created my free account, there were indeed adds, though far less as Crunchyroll, but somehow, after a while they completely vanished for me.

Agreed I hope there's more to this arc cause having u7 win is too predictable or anybody winning I feel like there should be a twist
I thought for sure that pic of Hit, Caulifla, and Kale Toei has been using in ads for this would be from the new ED but it didn't appear anywhere that I could see. Maybe it's from an upcoming episode?
Can't wait for the thread to open up. It's episode 66 but done significantly better than that.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

Doctor. wrote:I've explained before, I'll just paraphrase myself.
Power levels establish tension and drama. People who care about them (well, people who care about them in a narrative) don't care about the big numbers or the fancy explosions. If you have character A who's so much above character B, who's the main character, you're gonna be left wondering how in the hell character B, the character we're supposed to care and root for, is going to escape the situation or overcome the odds. It makes us emotionally invested.
If character B doesn't escape the situation in a believable way that's consistent with previous events, then that emotional investment is gone. It was pointless tension, pointless drama made just to suck in the viewer. It has no critical value whatsoever. The audience is left believing that the author can just create whatever scenarios he wants and what happens to the characters is decided by whatever the author wants to happen, regardless of the events that happened in the story. Which, in fairness, is what happens, but the audience wants to be fooled. The audience wants to know that the world they're following has rules. That the world they're invested in isn't going to bend to external factors that are irrelevant to them.
An author can do whatever he wants with the characters, that's not false. But the author should also have the responsibility to make sure it fits in cohesively with the other events in the narrative he has created.
Man that was a damn good episode/s. I really enjoyed that, the animation was fantastic and the music was fresh and good as well. It definitely lived up t the hype, I can't wait to watch it all again with subs.
How long does it take for it to be on Crunchy Roll now?
The insert song. The Shida goodness. Tate sprinkling in his magic. Takahashi getting his time to shine. The phenomenal direction. The excellent music.
I'm... lost for words. This double episode/special not only lived up the hyped, but in some parts, surpassed it.
A fucking plus Super.

I still haven’t lived down going, “Who the heck is Tao Pai-pai?” that one time I was talking with Ei’ichiro Oda-kun. But the fact that there are still people reading the series after all this time… All I can say is; “thank you.” Really, that’s all.

And that you also have IMMENSELY skewed and comically backwards priorities in what you think is most important and needed to make a good Dragon Ball story.
