Art wise this look like it's going to be an amazing episode which is expected based on who's working on it.

Vegeta thankfully isn't broken as I thought he'd be. :lol:

Vegeta was expected to be a stain under Jiren's boot so anything is better than that. Now watch his naysayers go on about how he'll be that next time, never mind this'll be the 2nd or 3rd time they're wrong.

If Vegeta doesn't get eliminated by mid February, I'm thinking he and Goku will eliminate jiren together. Fused or otherwise.

I think most (reasonable) Vegeta fans will be happy about how this is going to play out, considering that he's not going to be eliminated (yet, anyway).

It's kinda sad, but I'm starting to get flashbacks to when people were constantly going "Out in x weeks" about Caulifla. I think those predictions ended up being wrong five times before Kefla happened.

While we should never put too much stock into Dragon Ball Heroes stuff, I'm starting to feel like the card with UI Goku in front and Blue Vegeta right behind him just might end up being accurate. (Best screenshot I could get)

I think there's a 40% chance that could happen while the other 60% is Vegeta taking a hit for Goku and getting knocked out instead, giving Goku the edge he needs to win. Either way, Vegeta is getting major shine in these next few episodes and I couldn't be happier. :clap:

Remembering that the title of episode 123 is '' Full Body, Spirit, and Power unleashed! Goku and Vegeta! ''

So it looks like Goku and Vegeta are going to be highlights in this episode, it's possible that the two fight together and something similar to this DBH card happens

Goku didn't do much against Jiren alone so Vegeta helping makes sense as it can only help their none existing odds at defeating him.

I agree. The last fusion should be Gogeta. Then let it RIP

There are 4-5 types of fusion, the first of which has been used in the Namek Saga (before we've seen the first Super Saiyan) and all but one of them have already been used in/for the ToP. How is it that a deus ex machina?

Whis has really been nagging at Goku and Vegeta to work together in their training. It would be nice to see all of his lessons come to a head here. Maybe it's just me, but it feels like Goku and Vegeta are starting to outgrow Whis and Beerus as mentors. Well...Whis mostly. Beerus hasn't contributed much. :P

I agree but I think they have an arc or to go before they completely outgrow them as there's probably a thing or 2 they can still learn.

Vegeta isn't going anywhere soon. He probably stays 'till the very end.


More interesting is what will happen to #17 after Gohan screwing things up.

Oh I'm sure there's plenty more for them to learn if Whis is willing to teach it. Roshi is still teaching Goku stuff and Goku graduated from that class 30-odd years ago. :P

It causes unnecessary power creep and plot holes(like why don't they fuse?)

Piccolo who is in low thousands gets in million range.

Two brats which are individually weaker than piccolo become stronger than antagonist which was dozens of time stronger than if not hundreds time stronger.

Then,vegata and goku become more powerful than the antagonist who again if not hundred times but still is dozens of times powerful becomes fodder to fusion.Same with merged zamasu.

WE are long past the point of power creep. That’s just dragonball and whether a fan likes it or not, it’s something you have to accept

Fusion might be a deus ex machina towards others, but against jiren, fusion is just a simple power increase. You are talking about someone who is stronger than one of the top tier gods of destruction.

legit speaking, how bad did they expect Vegeta look because that is about as bad as Goku and Hit looked and goku did a lot of that to himself.
