Ah yes, here it is!

Jiren basically did this to SSB Goku in the episodes proper.

Right ? I hope they show more to him than this. I think they will cause it was weird with the clown GOD being so creepy and basically acting like he was mind controlling Jiren.Noah wrote:You're right and as said before here: Jiren differs much from the Pride Troopers, with their goofy poses and lame speeches about justice. That's why I expected to see more of his background in these episodes, but he kept being the same guy that is just pretty strong and nothing else. The arc still not over, so they can show more about Jiren's character.KidGoku>3 wrote:Is Jiren evil ? Or at least have a dark side?
I ask because a fighter fighting for justice would NEVER stomp an opponent who is down on his back like that. Goku was down on his hands not even a threat and Jiren stomped and tried crushing Goku with his foot.That's the stuff villains do. What Freeza would do. That combined with the clown GODs behavior around him makes it even more suspicious.

The Spirit Bomb was Vegeta's idea but he never gave his energy to that one either, and he only stepped in to fight Buu to buy time once they realized the Earthlings weren't going to listen. He still helped Goku by fighting off Ribrianne and it sounded like he planned to protect the weakened Goku while he rested before Frieza zipped him away. The Vegeta of the past would have been mad as hell about Goku surpassing him so much with Ultra Instinct, but he didn't seem to be angry at all. Just curious about what that was.omaro34 wrote:I posted this in another thread because that's where the conversation led to but I should post it here given that its an episode thread.
In regards to Vegeta not lending out his energy for the spirit bomb: Where was the Vegeta that was incredibly honorable in the Buu arc? Where was the Vegeta that died trying to protect the lives of those he really cared about? Keep in mind Vegeta was the one who orchestrated the whole Spirit Bomb idea to Goku when they fought Kid Buu. He tried to convince the humans on Earth to lend a helping hand and give their energy.
Now we fast forward to this, Freeza helping Goku but not Vegeta just means his character still has maturing to do; it's a regression in his character. Or bad writing.

True but Vegeta's reaction could change next episode. He could become angry that Goku surpassed him once again. After all, that is one of his life long goals. And fighting Ribrianne is a waste of time for him in his base form.BlueBasilisk wrote:The Spirit Bomb was Vegeta's idea but he never gave his energy to that one either, and he only stepped in to fight Buu to buy time once they realized the Earthlings weren't going to listen.

Don't forget the HEART-STOPPER!! (Also, I now decree that all references of that move by any of us now legally must be done as HEART STOPPER!! from this point forwardNero<>Akira wrote:i'm more interested to see Jiren vs Hit since Hit has time skip, intangibility, & is able to improve.
Exactly. He didn't do it cause he obviously doesn't want to and most likely to conserve energy. Nobody in U7, even Freeza, figured someone would try to attack any of them except Vegeta. Completely in character if you ask me especially for a guy that pleaded Earth to give energy and never gave it himself lol seems like people really don't remember that detail, but since it's Dragon Ball Super it's wrong or something. I'm still baffled that people forget that Vegeta DOES want to be the best even if he knows Goku will usually one up him. Vegeta isn't settling for less even if he does respect Goku's strength and talent. Like you said, he wasn't mad at all when Goku came back. he was calm and intrigued. But that doesn't fit the Vegeta regressed narrative. I think he has something up his sleeve. he has to. he would've shown a little more agitation if he didn't. he hasn't even gone full strength at all.BlueBasilisk wrote:The Spirit Bomb was Vegeta's idea but he never gave his energy to that one either, and he only stepped in to fight Buu to buy time once they realized the Earthlings weren't going to listen.

Did you see the image captured from the NEP where Jiren has a big gaping HEART STOPPER!! indent in his chest? It's VERY easy to miss.Freezerbaby wrote:The Nep clearly shows jiren blocking the heart-stopper very easily.PerhapsTheOtherOne wrote:Don't forget the HEART-STOPPER!!

Can you post that image? I only see Hit landing a punch on Jiren at the end of the nep, but that´s about it.PerhapsTheOtherOne wrote:Did you see the image captured from the NEP where Jiren has a big gaping HEART STOPPER!! indent in his chest?
