Yeah, I ask myself where the hell do they take lots of words to say. This isn't even a saga with an actual plot going on where characters need to talk a lot and such, it's just a bunch of fights, so there's no need for anyone else other than Daishinkan to talk, as he doesn't say useless things all the time. And what's worse, it's thirty seconds of random dialogue against five? Ten seconds of actual fight.

Krillin and Tien talking is the only thing these two have got going for them at this point. You want to take that from them as well? :mrgreen:

Meh, maybe have them say "oh" or "ah", not giving actual explanations as to what is happening, that should be reserved for the daishikans as pointed out by grimlock.

I think one of the posters here told us the reason.

The writers have the characters state the obvious in order for the young kids to fully understand what is going on (in case they missed something). This is a kids show, after all. It can be vexing for us grown ups, but it is what it is.

Who even needs Cell? If they hadn't killed him as a zygote, it'd still be several years before he was born. 17 would kick his ass by time he showed up. :lol:
Cell wasn't a zygote. He was a fetus. A zygote is just a fertilized egg.
You're right. I was sleepy and got my terms mixed up. :oops:

They explained a bit more of what Vegeta's new form was. Which is funny since fans also complain when explanations are left vague and people don't really comment. Or when the show does explain something, fan either ignore it or corrupt the statement.

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.

I'm sure kids enjoyed that TV Special UI Goku is now the biggest trash in the ToP.

Everyone surpassed it.

Two people is everyone? :eh: And I noticed you left out Goku himself. Yes, I'm sure children are very upset that Goku is stronger than he was 20 minutes ago.

The same Vegeta that's fighting with SSJBKKx20 Goku? I guess now even SSJBKKx20 Goku surpassed 110 UI.

Or go on about how the anime never explains anything because of a few instances without explanation.

Can you show when these two ever surpassed UI Goku?
When Super apparently shoves Goku down our throats:

Really? I'm not even sure Vegeta's surpassed super saiyan blue kaioken goku. Vegeta's new form feels like another dud, much like every transformation shown in this series thus far.

Considering Jiren was said to be using more power that at any other point of the tournament, the implication is that even before using Kaioken SSB Goku has surpassed his previous UI state, as stupid as it sounds. That, or for some reason Jiren didn't want to play with Goku this time, unlike when he turned UI.

Not a big deal anyway since we know he will get even stronger, but that's it. Namek had even more power inflation.

IMO that sounds far more likely as Geran seem to be pissed that he was almost knocked out.

So I guess it seems more or less confirmed that Gohan will be getting eliminated next week. That’s a bit of a shame. I liked the idea of Gohan making it all the way to the very end of the tournament with Goku. I guess I should’ve seen this coming though, given that Gohan has pretty much been a supporting character ever since he got absorbed by Majin Buu.

He might be fine at the end of the day. 105 was "Master Roshi's Sacrifice" but he was still in it for 2 more episodes after that.

He'll be just fine, don't give the title too much weight, they have been misleading before as well..
Either way, dyspo was built up like a gag, he isn't defeating any team 7 warriors..

Toei likes to use false expectations, so I'm not entirely convinced Gohan'll be rung out next week.

I seem to be in the minority here, but while he could definetly have done more and better, Gohan still has had a decent showing this arc, and if his battle with Dyspo is memorable, I would be happy with him going out next week. Not sure how to feel about him sharing his last battle with Frieza through.

That being said, I would also be happy with 17 going out soon so...I'm probably just weird, but as far as I'm concerned, Frieza is the only one who needs to outlast the rest, or do something incredible to justify his presence.

There's no such thing as "TV Special" as it was nothing more than a double episode in one day.

Gohan has been mostly a support character outside of his 1 moment of greatness which was him beating Cell,which is what fans still cannot let go.
If anything Gohan has been treated better in this arc than in the whole DBZ(excluding him defeating Cell of course).

You are seriously downplaying my boy Dyspo,if he is going down he is gonna take the U7 leader with him,he is going for the moral victory.
Just imagine how much the U7 team will be affected once its leader goes down.
