I may just actually join you, I was planning on skippin this ep as well but because of Takahashi I just had to watch it.
This episode wasn't really that bad honestly, and it made more sense than i thought it would.

but 115 sounds just as bad as 100, the first episode in a while where I actually agreed with zeon's criticism.
We don't have any previews (synopsis) for the episode. We just know that Goku is going to use Kaioken, and the episode is directed by Toshio, so I expect it to not be that bad.

At least now we already know we'll be needin to turn off our brains when the ep airs, time to watch like a 5yr old again.
fuck that, I'm skipping it.
While I feel the same way, it definitely cushions the blow that Vados states that fusion isn’t like stacking power on top of each other. They get an extra boost aka plot. It also redeems that embarrassing moment of Goku being tossed around by Kale awhile back knowing that Kale alone couldn’t stand toe to toe with SSB. It seems they fixed the scaling ish.

Still not too fond of it though.

PL fans in a nutshell. Idk why he quoted Zeon when the likes of Forneverworld have more credibility.

Anyways, I agree episode 115 should be a good one because Toshio said 115 was one of his favorite episodes iirc.

There really isn't a problem since Kale was doing well against Super Saiyan God Goku and Goku did no real damaged to. It seems, just like in 100, Kale's attacks are kind of weak for her weight class. She's like a pure attack from a RPG. High as hell defense, lackluster attack.

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

Naming the episode that pissed of someone like me who has defended super heavily in the past, does make this look better.


But it made more sense than 100.

I honestly don't care. I just said that this episode does matches 100 that Kale seems to have a high defense, but low attack.

These 2 characters. I blame the fandom for this. I blame the fandom for every bit of this.

Kafla's debut reminded me of Merged Zamasu's one in the manga. I really like her design, it fits pretty well with her SSGreen look. I wouldn't mind her being the one to take down Jiren, even that's obviously not happening because of time limit bs and so on.

It's quite surprising for me that people still expects Super to make sense of its power levels, for god's sake this will never happen. No matter how nonsensical, our only choice is enjoy this for what it is.

Not surprised, Zamasu's fusion was a mess and Goku was at full power during that fight. This time he fighting perfect fusion with no flaws or handicaps, if he aint worried about this fight... He bloody should be.
Pardon, but what? Zamasu fusion only started to became a mess after Goku launched that huge Kamehameha on him and it was not even a fight, Goku broke his arms with that attack and kicked Zamasu with a desperate brief Kaioken combination if they didn't think about Vegetto, Merged Zamasu would pretty much kill him after.

I think it's a bit strange they are going to drag 21 minutes out until March, isn't that kind of far in today's anime? Anyone else think this tournament is going to be interrupted or haulted? Something nuts is going to happen.

What makes you think that Tournament Of Power ends = arc finale? I think they could pretty much come with another conflict after. Also I tend to roll my eyes when the narrator says how much time is left for the tournament, I mean this whole episode was just one actual minute? Bite me.

The episodes have been covering less time lately. These last two were only a minute long each and covered just one fight. At least when there are cutaways to other fights, it's easier to buy that stuff is all happening at once.

Why did they have to make it 48 minutes anyway? It's the most laughable abuse of "Namek time" I've ever seen. Why couldn't it be like, 3 hours? Or better yet, have it be no time limit, last team standing wins. I guess having no in-universe time limit would mess up a few strategies like Champas or Quitelas, but it shouldn't be hard to write around that.

I will not insult a man I have no knowledge of but the people in that comment section have to be the most elitist people in the entire dragon ball community and take every bit of fun out of the entire franchise.

For a reason other sites make fun of Zeon and his goons, they are like the Yamcha among DB fanbase :lol:

Idk how can people compare episode 114(and the upcoming episode 115) to the likes of episode 100, or even episode 106. Is it really the bias against Caulifla and Kale?

Oh, pop quiz?

Well, I'm assuming Quitela's plan is to let the bugs and fart cloud boy ride out the clock undetected and win by having two remaining after everyone else goes out. Until we know how good they are in combat we don't know how they'd do if they had to fight. But I see hit and run tactics working well with them.

As for Champa, his plan was to simply have the most numbers because he knows his team can't beat Jiren. So, he'd have to leave Goku alone and focus his forces on opponents they can actually beat. To be honest, the only real difference is everyone would have to gang up on whoever wins the Goku vs Jiren fight and hope they're one of the ones left standing. After that, it's anybody's game.

Oh hell no, 114 is leagues above 100 in everyway and anyone who says otherwise is bias.
