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.

Not gonna lie I'm pretty disappointed and any hype I had for this weeks episode and the following episodes is gone. The fact that it seems like U4 only lasts one damn episode, Pepsi man gets knocked out which sucks because he was the only reason I cared about U3, piccolo gets knocked out, it's just sucks man. Like I guess it's my own fault for thinking that the bugs would last more than one episode but I didn't they'd get knocked out that fast. Man oh man U4 really was just a massive waste in the end. I'll still watch these episodes but I'm just pretty disappointed right now.

So I guess it's confirmed 18 and Piccolo go. 18 going is fine since she did enough, but Piccolo. Why is Super treating him so poorly? First his "death" in the Return of F arc, losing to Frost in U6 tournament, and now barely doing anything in the TOP.

This just makes me sick. Piccolo is the new Tien.

Where are you getting this conclusion from? Just because the spoilers didn't mention him for 119?

Does Toriyama hate Piccolo now? He's the next Yamcha and Tien.

I recognize Tomioka as writing 121 and 122, but I don't recognize the names for 119 and 120. Or I'm just really tired.
Curious to read the whole staff lists.

Other than that..not surprised about Piccolo, but very surprised how fast U4 and U3 are being whittled down.
On hiatus.

I'm confused, the spoilers stated that Katopesla was the one to fall out. Piccolo isn't mentioned anywhere. Oh, but #18's designation is given and she's even spoken of as if they'll be participation in the fight against the insect fighters of U3. Honestly, I don't feel anyone can complain about her role since she seems to be receiving more than what arguably seems "fair" (by personal standards).

It isn't said anywhere that U7 lose two fighters. Only Piccolo is a confirmed elimination.

Damn. Just sucks. Knew it was coming anyway. I guess in their minds he had his moment when he helped eliminate the universe six Namekians.

The show will always revolve around Saiyans. I've already accepted Piccolo's fate long ago. Its disappointing, but predictable and expected. Really annoying that they can't give him more of a role instead of Gohan's fucking lapdog. Everything he did was aligned with Gohan. Barely could get a memorable scene with just Piccolo and no one else.

They couldn't even give us Android 17's team up with Piccolo, that would have been interesting to see.

Flat out disappointed, but not surprised. Now we can see Piccolo's excellent commentary from the sidelines which will annoy me further.

I just want this arc to be over already.

It's in the summery for 120.

Let me get this straight, the two invisible bugs who were hyped up since the very first episode of the tournament, and constantly show how confidence the rat was about them and how calm he was even after Jiren Vs Goku. Who were mysterious for more than half the tournament and appeared on some high detailed calendar with Jiren and the others. Get eliminated in the very first damn episode they appear on? And from U7 of course. I had my doubts but I tried to stay positive.

Yeah, no matter how many great action episodes like the special we get, this arc will still have one the shittiest writing. Just watch Frieza gets reduced to the clown joke he was and gets trashed like nothing after all this build up.
