How long are you a fan of Dragon Ball now? Goku lost his first tournament because he fell over too early other than Roshi (who basically cheated because he did not stand straight as Goku but did some weird kneeling pose while saying his line) and his second one because he hit an out of bounds object before Tenshinhan.

I can understand being upset at the spoilers but some of the way you guys are reacting to this is ridiculous. Like just wait for the damn epsidoe to air before you start rioting and declaring Super as the worst thing to ever happen to Dragon Ball. To me at least I'm interested to see how this all plays out in the end and at the moment I'm optimistic about it. They could easily drop the ball but like I said I'm just gonna wait before I take out my pitchfork.

And Toei made Toriyama's design way better in the anime.
It doesn't matter who designed who, one is more original while the other is just ANOTHER recolor that's just there to move merchandise.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

Knowing te spoilers, it is what took goku out te field.

Regardless. Goku only had the upper hand before jire decides to go all sun like on goku
Based on one attack that ‘blows Goku away’ that we have no context on. Especially since we see Jiren fight with his aura and the preview.

And a "but" could mean anything. Absolutely nothing there suggests it refers to Goku surpassing Jiren. In fact, the next episode preview would suggest the exact opposite with Goku losing.

That is my point. We don’t know how Goku lose. And the preview only said Goku is out, not that Jiren overpowered him and the same preview said Goku had the advantage until Jiren gets serious. Which we actually see in the NEP and Jiren there wasn’t exactly shining brightly.
Which is my point to you. Nothing suggests Goku overpowers Jiren after he powers up. A brief scuffle in a 25 second preview is not evidence of that. The only things we know are that Goku overpowers Jiren before the latter uses his full power and that Goku loses to Jiren. That's it.

Yep, goku lost because he tripped on a rock... how else will goku lose :lol:
Well, Goku is the same person who lost to an unconscious Tien because a trunk hit him.
Ok, I’m actually a guy who listenes to people. So this is an honest question, not playing around. We know goku won’t overpower full power jiren, but how will he lose in your opinion.

I’m not a person who shuts down others opinion

If we count filler and GT, he lost by going out of bounds by touching the ceiling and was tickled out of the ring.

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.

Easily, he won’t cause it says in te spoilers that he only does so before jiren goes all UI like on goku. So there you go

Except the summery saying Goku had the advantage and the NEP showing Goku having only some problems against a glowing Jiren.

That’s more evidence than Jiren brute force his way to a win.

The only thing the spoiler say was Jiren got serious and blows Goku away. It doesn’t even say the blow rung Goku out.

That was against Jiren before he uses his full power. And like I said, a 25 second preview is proof of nothing.

And I never said Jiren will brute force his way to a win. I only took issue with your statement of the summary suggesting Goku overpowers a full power Jiren when nothing of the sort in those summaries suggest that.

Remember NEP for 121? The one that made vegeta look like he was giving trouble to jiren?



And I only saw jiren get hit once in his glowing state, and goku shows a very shocked expression in the preview. So there you go

I think even when the anime comes back, Goku'll still use Omen sometimes and treat MUI like a power-up to that.
Just a feeling based on the ending and the other picture.

I'll wait to watch the episode to see how this plays out. But I do want to Freeza to win this. Freeza winning the Tournament Of Power is only way him coming back to life has any kind of significant payoff.

We don’t know enough to say ‘Goku won’t overpower full power Jiren’, especially with just one line about Jiren blows Goku away and a small NEP that shows full powered Jiren having issues.

Given how Dragon Ball can be, Goku may have tripped and face fall out of the ring. It wouldn’t be his first humiliating defeat.

It's a lose-lose situation. If Freeza doesn't take down Jiren he'll be wasted. If Goku doesn't take him down his new form will be wasted.

It is proof since we have visuals of what is happening over a line summery, that some times are wrong about what happened.

Summery plus NEP highly suggests that yes, Goku overpowered Jiren.
