A good episode I guess, but it felt pretty rushed and I think it could be better


- An invisible enemy is a creative choice, but too bad he didn't do much

- And looks like Jiren keeps stading doing nothing along with his mates, when they can wipe out the rest of the fodders and fight U7 right way :yawn:

- It was nice to see Piccolo using his Explosive Wave technique again :thumbup:

- I guess people can stop crying about Piccolo right now, he wasn't humiliated, he eliminated two and then got eliminated. He did well :)

- Wow, I didn't expect U4 to be erased so fast, that's a bummer :|

- Oh man it looks like it will be exactly like ArchedThunder prediction: U7 steamrolling everyone and U11 passively waiting for their final battle, this tournament has such a poor composition :(

- NEP seems to be screentime for Gohan to shine, it could be good

A decent episode to say the least but I did enjoy it for the most part. Good on Piccolo for taking out two of U4 fighters as well as 17 taking out the other. Liked Damon mostly because his voice didn't seem to fit him though man that leaked bio on him was pretty wrong. Also Gamisaras looked nothing like Damon so I guess that was just a place holder image for him cause he looked like a lizard. Poor Shantza got taken out pretty quick which was a shame since his ability was interesting, he was cute though. Man though it did feel like this should of been a two parter because it felt kinda rushed. Also rip Pepsi man he was great while he lasted he shall be missed.

Wow I'm surprised by the negativity. I didn't think the episode was bad at all. I thought it was pretty good. Not amazing but fine enough. I liked how things felt more like they were moving. I liked how everyone was on guard from a handful of opponents, and none of them were particularly strong. It was more they had a great strategy. What with being invisible, using the illusions as a distraction for the real fighter, etc. I liked how we got to see Gohan and 17 show battle smarts too. It's the closest we've gotten to everyone being together. We also didn't have an obligatory blue cameo for no good reason. I thought the episode was a refreshing change of pace. No real nonsense. A good way to have weaker foes be a danger. It pretty much covered a lot of what I wanted to see from weaker universes without just being stupid. Piccolo also got two people before going down so he was shown kicking ass before going out. Shame it wasn't against someone memorable.

Man, the last episode and this current episode really have stepped up the artwork and animation. Also the fights are having much more effort and thought put into them.

Really enjoyed this episode as well as the previous one.

They could had made the bugs memorable by having them mysteriously take out U2.The ideas were good and this episode wasn't as bad as 103-106-108,is just in the middle,i feel like this should have been a two part episode.

One of the weakest episode,It felt rushed and Shantsa Illusion could have been for the entire episode also Damom and Gamisara where wasted through at least they got an elimination.
    However there some good things in this episode like Piccolo was awesome at least he wasn't humiliated,He did well and props to #17 with his smarts and patience in the battle.
      Overall this was pretty weak I except more from U4 but they end up being fodder.

      My only comment is that I loved how 17 used a ki equivalent of a pokeball to capture Damon. :D

      I disagree with a two part episode, but they coulda had the bugs basically knock off others and leave us in a mystery of what is happening over the course of several episodes. Never knowing when they will strike. Though really the whole tournament is a let down in this regard since everyone basically patiently waits for their turn with U7, outside of a handful of moments like in this ep.

      It was a good enough episode, not the greatest of course but there have been that many good ones lately it's not a big deal to have a weaker one. At least it was more strategic this time.

      A big problem with this episode is that it trips up what has otherwise been a pretty clear through-line of progression in the tournament. Up until now, each Universe erasure has been a milestone event.

      Universe 9: Establishing stakes, subtle undercurrent of tragedy.
      Universe 10: Impact of loss on fighters, death of known side character (Gowasu).
      Universe 2 and 6: Major losses, several notable and developed characters, as well as the two most prominent Universes. Bittersweet drama, instantly iconic.
      Universe 4: Oh, Quitela's mad, I guess.

      And you know what, as much as I sort of like Universe 3, I have no doubt theirs will be underwhelming as well. This is why they shouldn't have rushed 6 and 2. Now matter how much people think they don't like them, the fact remains that their loss will have the most impact after final boss 11. Universe 4 and 3 should have gone out in the middle. If there's no way to make them impactful, then don't have them go out after two big players.

      Now all we have to look forward to is a fun robot battle against characters we don't care about (why'd you have to go, Katopesla?) before a final battle between whoever Universe 7 have left (which could be all of them at this rate), and the Bone-Idle Troopers.

      Still scratching my head as to why these universe four fighters didn't remain hidden till the end if they were that weak.

      Bad episode, after all the hype of the invisible fighters, they were really wasted lol.

      Pretty decent Ep, I like how everyone was involved and helping each other out. And finally, Piccolo fighting hand to hand. Only problem I had was the drama felt like it had no impact, Piccolo gets eliminated, no build up, no slow-mo, not even any music or any character commentating besides Gohan, but then even he doesn't seem to give a shit after. Same could be said for U4's destruction.

      Anyways, call me crazy, but I enjoyed this episode more than last weeks lol.

      My guess is Quitela wanted to even out the numbers. U11 and U4 had three, U3 had six and U7 had 7. If they waited out and U3 and U7 had 4+ they would have won.

      the way piccolo was eliminated was trash, goku coulda saved him like he did 17. That's really bad writing. Also why didn't piccolo absorb those nameks, that woulda been a real easy way to keep his power up with the rest and they coulda given him the namek book of legends to make him even stronger, i felt like they missed that

      Those are all VERY Good Points Kataphrut, Well Thought out and If I can, I like to add another ontop of those as well and involves Like I always involve U2 and their erasing.

      The Impact on the People of the Universe itself!

      U10 started this trend by making the Loss on a Personal Level with Obuni, His Locket and his Family. That was impact-ful and added a personal element to great dramatic effect that this is erasing families, women, children and regulare people as well.

      What the U2 did with its Broadcasting to their Universe of the ToP, Brilliantly took that Concept and multiplied it by Billions! It Involved ALL their people and you Saw ALLOT of their people who where taking part in what was maybe their Final Battle of their existence to not only Witness, but to Cheer On, Pray, Hope and Ultimately Give Strength of their Love to their Champions, their Guardians, their Heroes!

      ALL of U2 ~~~ everyone Person, Normal and Powerful, man, woman and child where apart of this Battle! NO Other Universes had the Brass to do that, but U2 did cause That is just who they are! :thumbup:

      It hit on Many Levels and it also showed the Impact on the Lost of Billions of Lives.........Again BILLIONS Likely and it was in the Final Image Before U2 went and they all went in peace and pride that they fought to the end in their beliefs and made sure it echo threw-out the remaining cosmos!

      That was so Heavy, Impactful and Well Thought on Detailed Dramatic Writing their increasing the Stakes!

      The best thing about this episode and the last episode is that it made some people in the fanbase like and appreciate Ribrianne and U2 more.

      This was a super average/honestly pretty boring episode.

      The biggest thing that pissed me off is piccolos line about not hearing them. Nameks have super hearing, of all the people he shouldnt be delivering that line. At least this will break up the piccolo gohan team which is good as it hit its peak last week.

      The power suit guy (katoplesma or something like that) went out way too easily considering all the build up he has. Likewise quitella who was playing it cool as a cucumber this whole time blew all his trump cards and none of them were even good. How were such weak opponents (especially the hypno hedgehog) not just blown away from all the other ridiculous events from this tournament.

      Not really looking forward to next week either. If they are gonna just make it all about universe 7 and 11 why should we care at all about next week. The awesome streak of episodes has come to an end.

      So-called "strategy" episodes make everyone involved look really stupid and lacking in skill. Skill that they've demonstrated in the past. Fortunately that kind of thing only bothers me when I come to the fandom and see people praising the use of "strategy"; while watching the episode it doesn't bother me, so I really enjoyed this episode. Goku teaming up with 17 keeps proving to be entertaining.

      As some other people said, this is an episode that should have been earlier on. It's weird to see so many characters seemingly 'saved' for later then have them ultimately mean absolutely nothing. Which wouldn't be a problem if characters were actually being utilized. Might as well have just made this a normal tournament at this point. Almost none of the abilities that would be beneficial in a battle royale (vs a normal tournament 1v1) are being utilized. Any such abilities such as illusions are given to fodder characters who get eliminated after 2-3 punches.

      Just imagine how much more interesting this episode, and episodes like the sniper one, could have been if they were actually a threat, but that applies to almost the entire tournament. They wouldn't even need to change that much to make them not uselessly weak, I truly don't understand it at all. At least they actually eliminated people, but it's more a of a mercy elimination at this point since it's not going to matter anyways.
