So Gohan and Piccolo vs the two Namekians...
Predictable, but it's what I wanted.

It better just be a minor fight with them fighting later.
Maybe we can get some good interactions between them and Gohan and Piccolo.

Namekians are finally here!
Oh wow, they have a really different skin tone compared to Piccolo. I like it. :thumbup:

Why was they not mentioned in any preview for this episode 111?
Didn't you want Piccolo fighting the Namekians?

My guess would be that they start their fight at the end of the episode and it's a B plot during the next couple episodes.

The Namekians will be collateral damage from Hit Versus Jiren and will be rung out on accident by one of hit's attacks.
[spoiler]I think they will be important, and I'd rather a fusion of them be the warrior in 115 than the bugs.[/spoiler]

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.

That it's not happening as a main focus of an episode is a blow to his hopes for their importance.

Probably because they're not important to the episode?

Ki Breaker wrote:What's up with ultra instinct being classified as a "form" by so many people?

It's a technique of moving without thought which goku was using after he used up all his ki, the white aura was explicitly said to be him using spirit bombs energy as a temporary source of power..
He didn't achieve any new form..
All that sliver eyed look was him using the bombs energy..

This is no powerup, Goku is still only as strong as before ultra instinct, he is just on a different plane now.. And can fight much better..

Like whis said before, if you manage to master this technique, you can beat anyone, simple raw power was taken out of the equation as soon as you got this down..

Or I am misinterpreting something, if that's the case I would appreciate some light being shed on that..
Well, it does change Goku’s appearance as long as he is using it, so I don’t see how it isn’t a transformation. Also, Whis clarified it wasn’t just the genkidama’s power. Goku unlocked some of his inner potential. The genkidama acted like a battery. Also, the silver eyes and the aura have no explanation. It’s just when the camera focused on Goku’s face, Beerus whispered “migatte no goku’i”.

The fact that the Namekians weren't mentioned in the episode summary makes me think they won't be important characters in this episode. I think they'll either get eliminated very fast by Gohan and Piccolo, or their fight will get dragged out till the next episode, possibly even further just like Goku's fight with Ribrianne did.

Jiren in 107 and 100 wasn't the main focus.

Of all episodes, I wasn't expecting U6 Namekians to appear in this one. I hope they don't take much screen time in this episode because Hit vs Jiren deserves full attention.

On a side note, their color scheme is much better than U7 Namekians. I would like them to show Piccolo a new power-up about their race. The Namekian Book of Legends plotline being mentioned again would be cool.

A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

It's also possible they aren't actually fighting each other here or that this will be one of those background skirmishes that never goes anywhere like Toppo vs Cabba a couple weeks ago.

Jiren is the main focus of the OP and much more buildup than that. Hardly the same thing.

Excited and apprehensive at the same time. The namekians engaging in a fight in an episode they weren't even mentioned does indeed not bode well for them/my hopes and dreams.
Also I was hoping we'd get a different team up than Piccolo/Gohan but it all comes down to execution.

Worst case scenario, they are get knocked off as collateral damage.

Episode summaries are about a couple lines based off of a 20 min episode.... There is hardly a lot to cram in a few lines for a 20 min episode.

And anyway do not put any stock in these summaries, let's not forget Helles praising Goku's "beauty" and Ribrianne getting super jealous never happened.

The Namekians may have an important role or they may not, we simply won't until the actual episode airs.

If U6 gets erased I might just skip the rest of this arc and binge watch once it's over. I'm not really invested in Universe 7 in this. :(

Yes I am excited for Piccolo to fight them but the fact they were not in the NEP or any preview when a lot of minor characters were I do not like one bit. I can tell they are trying for a surprise but it does not seem right when many other minor characters got advertised they were going to be in the episode.

The episode is focused on Jiren vs Hit so what possible interaction could these 4 have. It is probably just going to immediately cut to them fighting with no talking or anything. The pictures could be fooling us though. They better all make it through to the next episode.
