[spoiler]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.[/spoiler]
But can he reach Gohan levels of getting wrecked and becoming a meme?

Ignoring the fact that the preview obviously LOOKS gorgeous, it also has me very worried. It's hard to tell for sure without seeing the episode, but from the looks of it, it appears like Vegeta is just straight up going toe-to-toe with Jiren....which is just bs.

I'm no powerscaler, and frankly, power scaling discussions are the worst part about this fandom, but even I have to recognize that this makes zero sense and ruins the narrative. I'm praying that there's some sort of gimmick, because otherwise this might be the single worst instance of nonsensical powerscaling in the entire show. There's no excuse. Please don't have Vegeta put up a fight against Jiren just for the sake of pandering.

Hell, looking at it again, Goku appears to be LAUGHING while fighting Jiren. This almost seems SO ridiculous that it makes me think there HAS to be some sort of gimmick going on. I don't even think Toei would go this far in completely tarnishing the power logic.

I know, but I still loved "A 70 Centimeter Squared Window".
Especially the full version.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m not a fan of giving Jiren that line. He’s supposed to be the Dragon Ball equivalent of Superman, at least as far as the manga is concerned. Trash talking like that seems out of character. Then again, Jiren in the anime doesn’t have much character anyway, so I guess there’s that.

I agree. If Aniraza required Vegeta to team up with the rest of his team, why would Vegeta be able to go to toe with Jiren, when Jiren is supposed to be the strongest opponent in the tournament?

Exactly. Jiren has such little personality that it's extremely jarring and weird whenever they give him these random shit talking lines. Same thing when he said to Hit "An assassins pride? How foolish!". That's not what a protector of the innocent and justice would sound like.

It's more a villain sounding line, and being extremely generic at that considering it's a line I could see literally any other character outside of Universe 2 saying without it sounding out of character. I mean I might as well as be shocked he didn't use other generic lines like "You've bitten off more than you can chew." "Now you're up against a real opponent". "You have only delayed the inevitable." Shit I can make a bingo game out of generic lines for Jiren to say. His blandness knows no bounds :lol: (Excluding the manga which could screw up what they have going for him)

How out of character if his debut was first in the anime that is not based on the manga? Both are two separate entities, I thought fans already knew that.

As a matter of fact he was right when he said that. Why would Jiren a "protector of the justice" like you said care about the pride of an assassin?

Goku either subsequently beat, indirectly defeated, or put up a majorly challenging fight against all of those guys, besides Black.

Vegeta jobs and stays down. Exception being Black.

It seems Dragon Ball has grown on me so much that I can't leave it alone." - Akira Toriyama on Dragon Ball Super

He landed one solid kick to Jiren's gut, so what? I seem to recall the NEP for 111 showing Hit striking Jiren's chest yet he still got blown out of the arena.

Why shouldn't the strongest advocator of justice belittle an assassin that's paid to kill others for a living?

I like how they specifically stated this episode that 18 and 17 can't be sensed and Goku two minutes later ITs to 18. Just shows how alert these writers are.

Ar......Are we literally doing this again? Going off previews to judge something and building or lowering expectations instead of waiting?

Are you retarded he landing multiple hits he flat out punch him in the gut after kicking him and unlike against hit and goku,jiren is actually serious.

What?! Goku was the strongest hero in each of those fights, who is he making look good?


Jobber means losing to make someone look good, Goku has only done that once.


The episode have not come out yet, previews can be deceiving and if Vegeta loses badly, don't say the show lied to you.

Ignoring the fact that he got his chest shanked off guard and was the first one to fall in the trio of Saiyans. Even if he did repay Black with a beating later on, it really didn't amounted much to the overall narrative at all.

His catchphrase is already "It's over." Can't get more generic than that.

Whoa, no need for the name calling.

By that logic, Quake of Fury Vegeta could've beat Beerus, right?
