Oh, looks like Jiren's powers transcend light itself now..
Next episode Jiren transcends logic and starts hoolahooping the damn sky because that's simply how it works..

This is a good catch though, maybe the trick to taking him down is taking his eyes out..

Thank you! They keep saying his "glare" and Jiren does seem to unleash big attacks whenever his eyes flicker, open wide, or etc. I may be completely wrong and perhaps Toriyama just wrote a stupid strong character but why keep bringing up his eyes then? But like you joked Jiren will find a way past that if such a thing were indeed the case.

Toshio just promoting his own episode. It is probably just the end of Cabba leaving the 2 new pairs for Universe 6.

This is something i mentioned a long while back, though no one else thought it to be interesting at the time.

That`s what you have Cabba there for, gents.
Cabba is a beast compared to Tien. Even at equal power levels he'd probably destroy Tien. Saiyans seem more durable and seem to have a natural sense of combat. That is unless Tien decides to be cheap and use Solar Flare. But if that Tri-beam of his misses, he's basically done for.
You don`t need to defend his usefulness in the show just because he`s a Saiyan. He`s a beast that hasn`t done anything uniquely worth other than be provoked by Vegeta and have the later watch his back the entire Tournament.

Or, in your line of reasoning, a "weakling" to be used to promote someone else that can actually make waves.
Done more than toppo,ribrianne,Dyspo,etc

The episode called vegeta resolve so it's must mean something in regards to cabba

Epiosde spoilers stated that she was overpowering Cabba until Vegeta beats some resulve into him.

Really the prince should not waist his time, the body is powerful and talanted but he lacks the real fire that makes a warrior. He's to soft and it will cost him everything.

Well look at that you did mention his eyes. So the moral is that the show is subtly pointing out Jiren's eyes. Hopefully we are right in our theory.

This. The show makes it obvious Jiren has some ability with his eyes.

So do we know who Toriyama actually designed for this saga? We know about a few of the Gods but did which of the mortals did he do the designs for?

Did he do Caulifla? Kale? Jiren? Toppo? Dyspo? Etc. Who has he designed here?

I think Toriyama definitly done all of Universe 6, Toppo, Dyspo and Jiren.

And the Goku/Vegeta scene in the PV, I believe Goku will tell Vegeta Freeza healed him and that he can be "trusted". :think:

I think you guys are looking at this backwards, just my opinion.

Jiren isnt strong because of his eyes IMO hes just so damn strong he can do that with his eyes.

His eyes were optimal against Hit because he didnt have to move them to create the energy he needed. Against Goku he wasnt struggling before he used his eyes...it seemed like he was showing off.

The Saiyans are quite stupid so it would be easy to fool them. Maybe that's why he helped Gohan when Piccolo was not around as he knows he will see right through him. :)

I just think Frieza is trying to do the least he can so he can have enough energy to mess them up at the end and get the wish.
