Well we cant complain and react about everything all at once, there were too many stuffs thrown at us... I noticed the alien dude's buffed but I just got used to buffed characters too much to make a point out of it, been reading Boku no hero academia lately and... well... you know, all might's a giant.

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

I know someone had made a post regarding this earlier, but one thing i really found interesting in the recent episode was the fact that Beerus was like "So you want to be a god of destruction"


Hasn't Beerus asked that to Goku before and hasn't Goku always just said he just wants to get stronger...?

I think Whis was the one who asked this, why would Beerus want to be replaced? lol

No, remember Beerus had asked Goku why he wanted to come train under Whis in which he asked Goku if he was trying to become a GoD?

He was saying Goku should become a God of Destruction so he can fight as much as he wants.

Its interesting that those two in the back are wearing the same outfit. Perhaps they are all in a squad (like the Ginyu Force) and thats their uniform? The "Grey" looking dude could be their leader.

JoJo's time reset was terrible, too.
I personally thought it worked well. Different strokes for different strokes.
Steel ball run wasn't even called 'JJBA for a couple of volumes too', never the less SBR is easily the best part of this entire series.
The Tatami galaxy handled time resets the best in this entire medium i've seen so far, usually time resets/amnesia plots can ruin a series for me '(likewise Kaiba handled it well and i'm liking how Araki is dealing with this trope in Jojolion).

We already had Goku with amnesia for several volumes until the saiyajin/namek saga regarding his origin.

I was thinking it looked like a female of Beerus' race.
That brings up a question: If that team isn't Universe 6's team, then does that mean Beerus and Champa weren't born in Universe 6 or 7? That could explain why there's a human-looking God of Destruction
When Super apparently shoves Goku down our throats:

Alien can also look like human like the Saiyan or Recoome's race.

That new guy from the OP having a team of 3 makes me think the tournament format is going to be 3V3. They look like they are from some type of organization (similar to the Galactic patrol), so I'm guessing their teamwork is gonna be off the charts good.

Like, before the tournament, the Gods of Destruction had to pick 10 fighters, right? I wonder how many of these fighters don't really want to fight but had no choice. Heck, I wonder how many refused and didn't realize how powerful their God of Destruction are and paid the ultimate price. I mean, we don't really know how trigger happy the other Gods of Destruction are compared to Beerus and Champa, but I imagine some could be a lot worse.
Actually, Whis told us that the other Hakaishin were violent. We have a vague idea! :)
DainIronfoot wrote:Hasn't Beerus asked that to Goku before and hasn't Goku always just said he just wants to get stronger...?
I don't think so. The next closest thing is Beerus asking Whis why he trains Goku & Vegeta, to which he never elaborates. Other than that, Beerus questioned why he was so eager to improve. Goku's response is that he enjoyed it, without mention of a Hakaishin position opening/closing.

SBR is fantastic, probably my second favorite part, but I still sorta think it should have been a spinoff or something. Throwing out the original universe to me makes previous parts feel pointless, because everything the past Jojo's did doesn't really matter to the universe anymore.

Honestly I think if Toriyama used some form of time reset, it would be handled with even less tact than Araki doing it. Araki is just more clever in this regard in my opinion.

It was pretty clear in the episode that Beerus and Whis didn't want the Omniking's to remember the tournement idea

They really should have done that. If they did we wouldn't have even HAD the problem of Goku causing everyone's problems AGAIN.

If it wasn't for the tournament, what was it even about :eh:
Toriyama might have written gods go to a summit..
Omni king wants one match for future omni king..

And toie might have thought how are we ever going to transition between a summit and a tournament decision!
Oh add make goku the idiot here again! Brilliant..

In l seriousness though, I want to know whos idea this was, did toriyama indented this to be Goku's fault, did toie understand wrong or was it just a toie thing entirely

I think team U7 will lose badly in this pre match against U9

Even more with Gohan in it... They well get owned and Goku realized how he fucked up and that this can end in the worst case scenario. Same goes for Gohan who learns that if he doesn't get his shit together, Pan and Co will be erased... Ado all others will do the same

I doubt Vegeta will be in this pre match cut of Bra... But even if, I think they will lose...

And what do you think Whis and Beerus will do? Will they train them personally after seeing that they aren't strong enough for it?

PS
Of course this wouldn't happen with 17 in it- <333
