Yes the Pride Troopers are totally worthless...

Edited
Thats why it took a Legendary Super Saiyan with power on par with a God form to beat four them in a beam struggle, Why their leader is powerful enough to battle a God tier foe on his own and only get a little scuffed up after taking a full power shot and why their strongest member can literally curb stomp one of tournaments most powerful and dangerous fighters with zero effort.

Yeah their not strong at all. :roll:

Ah I had forgotten that, I'll alter my statement to reflect reality.

But case in point, saying Goku's got Toppo on the ropes because of he scratched him is like saying Goku had Frieza on the ropes because he burned 50% Frieza's hand.

Edit: Whats the old saying, "dont make mountains out of mole hills".

Edit 2: On an unrelated not...

Am I the only one who noticed that Toppo's full aura looks a lot like SSB and Golden Frieza's?

What I mean is its more full and multicolored, unlike the normal clear auras.

Kale isnt on par with full power SSB.

Obviously they arent "weak" but the point is they were eliminated while doing nothing of consequence.

Was browsing youtube just now and it looks like Disney has decided to copy Dragon Ball's big success.

You absolutely right, Kale is not on par with SSB, she's surpassed it. And until and official source says Goku was holding back against a foe trying kill him in cold blood, thats were the matter stands.

And I'm not argue about what they accomplish, just saying their not weak.

Tbh, if the Pride Troopers were smart they couldve ringed out Goku, Coccote uses her barrier on Goku, then he gets thrown out.

Oh I'm not going to argue that, Coccote had by far the most useful power...but apparently the lowest IQ lol. Guldo all over again.

Goku literally says he will use a little more power when he goes SSB, he never goes full strength. Also he just looks unamused when she attacks him not hurt.

So let me get this strait, jumping from SS2 to the SSB is a little more power? Thats like Frieza jumping from his second form to his final one, the statement dose not reflect whats actually being shown.

Yep, she withstood Caulifla/Kale combo attack, her barriers mightve forced Goku use Blue imo.

No, it means going SSB doesnt mean you are using 100% of its power. The same way you can decide whether to tap someone on the shoulder or punch their lights out.

My guess would be the Berserk form is somewhere around SSG level.

And if I met you half way here, dose that make it any less impressive that it took someone that powerful combined with a SS2 to beat 4 of the Pride Troopers?

No, I'm not really debating their actual power. I'm just saying their being treated like fodder makes them look weak generally even if they arent. They basically lost five to nothing, I was expecting them to take out a few people in the tournament or have more meaningful time.

I enjoyed the episode a lot honestly. I just kind of wonder when U7 will have some tension.

Here we can agree.

Personally it would have been better to have them fight Goku alone. Their combined powers would have been enough to challenge him even in Blue form, then have the androids come in and help out.

This is were I think super has trouble balancing its characters in this arc, by once again involving Kale and Caulifla it takes focus away from the Pride Troopers and their efforts. They could and should have had all this stuff with Kale in another epiosde against another universe's fighters.

Bravo Toei your plan succeeded you've lured people into thinking U11 is fodder and U7 is op :clap:

It's called stacking the deck it's meant to give the audience false hope and also build up tension for when shit hits the fan

I wouldn't be surprised if multiple U7 members get eliminated in one episode

The thing is we all know Jiren and Toppo are top tier. We arent fooled at all. We knew these guys would be eliminated sooner or later. The question is simply why so easily from an entertainmemt standpoint?

Kale not stronger than ssjb goku all goku said he was going to let out more power
Compare goku Kamehameha against merged zamasu Vs the one he sent at kale and tell me he went full blast
Goku was no where near full power that time and considering he was willing to fight jiren who one shotted her and goku came out unscathed from her assault
Kale is blue level but not superior to ssjb goku,vegeta,golden Frieza etc

Does anyone think Toshio needs to be careful about answering fans questions?

He indirectly spoiled Caulifla surviving episode 101 with the comments of episode 104 having her and Kale as focus, and now looks like he spoiled Vegeta defeating Brianne because he will face Hit later on.
