This was an expositional episode, so I don't mind the fight not being as cool, but it was still an awesome episode.

So no thoughts on Freeza teaming up with the gang to help save the universe?

Realistically Goku should be finding the strongest fighters in their universe instead of using say...Master Roshi who literally makes no sense being there, so I can see why Freeza who is essentially the third strongest main fighter in their universe would be chosen. Of course it depends how the tournament arc is written, it's obvious Freeza wants to get out of Hell and be revived, but I don't think the main cast will allow it even if Goku does. |

Man, looking at this as an outsider it all sounds terrible, you have a female brolly now? Freeza who had essentially become worthless powerwise is now strong again? I guess that's explained in the second revival movie but it still all reads like fanfic.

Hell back in DBZ before you watched it, if someone said there was a saga where Vegeta and Bulma have a Saiyan child who comes back in time from the future, who is also a Super Saiyan, and kills a Cyborg Freeza warning people about killer Androids who are somehow stronger than Super Saiyan Goku and that he dies of a heart virus and this would happen in the next saga...it all sounds ridiculous and like fanfiction. |

I'm ready for this tournament to hurry and start. They've sure crammed a hell of a lot in an hour and thirty minutes. Spoiler:
Everyone is all up in arms about the Universe 6 Saiyans. I really hope they get demolished.

My guess is this is the last arc before they do a timeskip to the end of DBZ with Uub, Pan and adult Trunks/Goten....so they're giving the current main cast "one last hurrah" before they move on from them.
You can tell they're making a much bigger deal of this arc which is why it's gone on so long and the tournament hasn't even started yet. |

I guess its also to give more reason for an all new theme song. I mean it would be dumb to make an all new intro thats basically all about the tournament and make it only last 5 episodes or so.

I had my doubts but I really am enjoying Freeza making another comeback with a little more to do than just 'grrr kill Goku'. I liked the uneasy camaraderie between him and Goku and the fact they'll have to fight assassins together.
Loved the 'my hand slipped' sucker punch bit between the 2.

the idea of this seemed like fan fiction, but they managed to make it fun so far.
'the my hand slipped' joke was really unexpected and really well done at how they seem to have become frenemies |

Bumping this thread just to say that this show is freaking great.
It’s had some minor issues, but for the most part it’s felt like the true successor to DBZ we waited so long for. The animation has improved a lot since the beginning, and the fights look great. The character designs are really good too, and the story’s pretty captivating. Here’s hoping it (and the manga) last for a while. |

Lots of funny moments, one of my favourites is when Goku does "100 Trillion" Sit ups and Beerus' reaction to it |

It's improved tremendously from it's early episodes. The movie adaption episodes were atrocious. Remaking the two movies with worse animation and pacing issues was absurd.
The Champa tournament after was just ok but still had poor animation. Super didn't really get good till the Goku Black/Zamasu arc started, and it's been consistently entertaining from there. Also most of the filler in Super has been top notch and the best part of it. |

It's actually the second longest (with universal arc of course being the longest) the black arc is as long as the 6vs7 arc, and that's just including 6vs7 filler episodes like clone vegeta.
Even then that isn't what i meant, the arc would have been better had it shortened it by a few episodes the pacing was Way to dragged out. |

You know I have a lot of problems with this arc but if there is on aspect I loved about this TOP is that no one would have expected Android 17 being the MVP of the of this battle royale and I love that idea so much. You have this character who use to be a cocky asshole, put him on the bus for several arcs(with one cameo) and when we see him he gets one of the biggest Toriyama handjobs out there and even goes toe to toe with Goku SSB. 17's personality also helps in which he isn't a hardass fighter like Piccolo/Vegeta/Tien or happy go lucky Buu/Goku/Roshi or "normal" Gohan/Krillian no the guy is laid back and pragmatic and that part about him makes him an interesting addition to the Z fighter Cast

I wonder if saying Universe 7 was the weakest, was a feint.
Maybe they meant weakest in OVERALL Universe Power. But some of their warriors where some of the strongest theres...hence how they lasted so long. it didn't really feel forced how they won their way through either. |
