Well the most likely answer I can think of is that like Beerus, Vegeta has not mastered it. Think of how Beerus used it in the manga. He didn't transform but he danced around the other gods, even Quitela and Belmod who are as strong or stronger then himself. But he also messed up and got grabbed by Mosco.

How did that fight end again?
Piccolo got absurdly arrogant, which allowed Tien and Co to get the drop on him, holding him in place while Yamcha finished off his pride with a single punch.
Please remind me when that episode happened, so I can go watch the fuck out of it right now. :P

Funny, i only saw jiren go semi-serious against a UI goku, and tanked an energy blast like nothing from him. So jiren flinching against a ssb kamehameha is nothing.
Minor damage. What I'm trying to get at here (if you read my previous posts) is that it's retarded to go ahead judging the NEP prematurely because of Vegeta's well performance against Jiren when SSJB Goku and Hit beforehand put up that same level of performance against him.
Your reply is confusing me. I think the episode will play out just like ragegeta vs beerus. Vegeta seems to be doing well, after the final attack : BAM. Turns out jiren was just messing around

He looks like Cooler with a coat of the Great Saiyaman on top of him, the man with the hat looks like Yamcha, and the lady looks like Bulma. That anime has an art style strikingly similar to Dragon Ball GT. Was it also produced by Toei Animation around the same time?

Edit: turns out it's based on some manga by Toriyama and came out when GT was in production, and most likely Toei Animation produced it.

I think Universe 3 has managed to become my favorite Universe outside of U6 and U7.

I'm going to miss them.

From what I can find it was a single 15 min OVA from 1991 and was produced by Shueisha.

Pretty sure Cashman was made by Toriyama as well, think it even had a character who was basically Bulma outside of name.

Turns out the Hatchiyack lookalike goes out in a team based beam attack as well,expect you know Freeza and 17 are there instead of Piccolo and Future Trunks.

Yeah, but he didn’t look too happy staring at that final flash head on. Definitely flinched more than he did with the Spirit Bomb.

Plus that initial kick after the confrontation was different than that random punch he made in the gut where he just stood there.

Also, I think Vegeta will survive that episode. They showed him getting blasted away in a manner that resembled him potentially flying out the ring.

Doesn't seem like something out of 1991 given its art style, but the video quality from the link is bad, so I may be wrong.

So guys, using the following pictures, how badly do you think (or hope) Vegeta will be wrecked in the following episode?

Recoome wrecked

Frieza wrecked

Android 18 wrecked

Perfect Cell Wrecked

Kid Buu wrecked

Hit wrecked

Goku Black wrecked

I'm leaning more towards Recoome and Perfect Cell wrecked.
"Dragon Ball once became a thing of the past to me, but after that, I got angry about the live action movie, re-wrote an entire movie script, and now I'm complaining about the quality of the new TV anime. It seems Dragon Ball has grown on me so much that I can't leave it alone." - Akira Toriyama on Dragon Ball Super

I don't know how popular TMNT is in Japan, but as soon as I saw this guy getting out of Mosco I remembered Krang from that 90's TMNT!

In the end, Universe 3 had a far better treatment than Universe 10 and Universe 4. I'm impressed. Toei should have hyped Paparoni instead of Nigrisshi.

Something I loved about this episode is that everyone teamed up to fight against the villain. Something that rarely happens in this franchise.
It's usually everyone (except Vegeta and Goku) vs the villain - Goku alone - Vegeta alone - Goku again.

At this point I didn't expect anyone to be inside the robot. Mosco seemed to be a cool guy.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

The guy inside the God robot also reminded me of a Star Wars character, although that may be just because I watched The Last Jedi recently.

I’m genuinely surprised that Universe 3 received such a climactic send-off. Early in the tournament, they seemed to have been the second worst performing team after Universe 10, but they managed to hold on till near the end, and had a massive trump card. It definitely makes up for the disappointment that was Universe 4, even if they more or less copied the climax for Plan to Eradicate the Super Saiyans.

So just was I predicted we'll start the next year with the final battle between Universe 7 vs. Universe 11

- Gohan and #17 vs. Toppo
- Freeza vs. Dyspo
- Goku and Vegeta vs. Jiren

These seem to be great matches to me :)
