Yeah. He was freaking the hell out when Goku and Jiren were fighting near him.

Speaking of Saonel...

[spoiler]That has to be one of the worst things to happen to anyone in the ToP. True he almost turned it around but being stuck right in the middle of a beam struggle must be painful to say the least.

I'm sorry but I was laughing hysterically at that point. Who in the right mind see's their teammate get enveloped by a ki beam and thinks "OH CRAP! BEAM WAR!!!". I was saying out loud say to the screen "PIRINA HOW IS THAT HELPING?!".[/spoiler]

Lack of tension, easy.

Toyo will fix this one too.

What did he even do in the NEP? All I saw him do was charge up some attack.
Gohan and Piccolo were stuck in his dimension. You can see by the background colors.

Well, maybe it is. We have yet to find out, what they'll do about this.

I really hope Vegeta gets to eliminate Katopesla before the main action starts next episode. This character has already established his uselessness by having his attack mode tanked by a base Saiyan and if nothing else, this episode has highlighted that it would help to spend less time on useless characters to have more time for those that can actually provide an interesting fight.

Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

Full preview.

Shantsa can cast illusions for the looks of it, and those are the warriors from the Erased Universes.

I notice the Trio de Dangers, Botamo,..., if Hit is there then gg Piccolo and/or Gohan.

I would guess the illusions don't actually have the power of the real person.

Knew it, the "unlimited regeneration" just meant that they keep regenerating every time their arms are blown off.

U2 hand down got the best erasing. They went down so cheerful that I was honestly tearing up. God I loved U2.

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.

They took their erasure like champs. I'm honestly going to miss them a lot.

Can Dragon Ball Super get worse than this? :| I truly appreciate that it gave more screentime to Super Saiyan 2, but this is the very meaning of bullshit.
That was quite underwhelming. I expected the U6 namekians to be powerful on their own without the need of fusing, but I guess now that Saonel and Pilina would be nothing had they not. Way of hammering that namekians can't power up as much via training despite even meditation gave Piccolo some power boosts before.
I thought it was touching how many Namekians wanted to help saved U6, so they merged with two of their own (no it wasn't the entire race, just many).

I'm guessing the U7 character eliminated next week will be 18? She's done enough and looks shocked in the preview.

It better not be Piccolo though, I feel like he still hasn't had his big moment yet.

I think 17 talking at the end of the preview is after 18 has been knocked out.

The fusions hadn't worked fully yet so they will get more powerful and that stamina boost is a huge benefit.

If the two Nameks didn't fuse they'd probably had been as weak as those various fighter Nameks we saw Freeza kill back in the Namek arc, basically nothing.

So by Fusing it seems they gained considerable power. I'd put them both around SSJ2 level.
