    Tbh this chapter was another disappointment for me. 17s sacrifice seemed bland and emotionless, even 18 looked like she didn't even care for him. Vegeta saying that he has no teachers and learns nothing from anyone, that's just an insult to Whis, not to mention you wouldn't have gotten SSB if it wasn't for Whis so wym you don't learn from anyone, that doesn't make sense. Toppo and Dyspo seemed wasted, Dyspo didn't even do anything interesting the whole tournament and just felt like a waste of time, and Toppo literally spent the whole Tournament just fighting Vegeta (besides Goku). The manga actually was doing a good job with Toppo until he gets wasted and no epic moments with GoD Toppo like we had in the anime. Also like what Geekdom said Jiren was a bonehead letting Toppo and Dyspo get eliminated, thats just a dumb idea when the fight is about having the most numbers. And UI apparently can be tapped into at will at random? That's just takes away from the tension, and takes away from the feeling of it being a last resort. Even the art in my opinion just looked bland to me. This chapter was just another let down for me.

    • @exantiuse497

      Of course 18 was unemotional, she knows her brother and knows he wasn't actually going to kill himself, just bluff it like in the anime. Her being unemotional was simply a way to tell 17 "You're not fooling me, I know what you're doing" without spilling it to the others, it makes sense for those two characters to act like that
      Also Vegeta insulting Whis was intended, there's actually a panel in the manga right after he says he had no masters where Whis looks insulted. Vegeta is an arrogant bastard, it's in character for him to ignore the fact he owes some of his skills to someone else's teachings and just claim he got it all by himself

    Toppo? Isn't his name just Top now?
    The manga continues to “de-hype” certain characters compared to the anime. Another example are the U6 Nameks. In the anime, they were formidable fighters who were forced to fuse together with every single namek. However, in the manga, it was more like “Oh, U6 has Nameks too? K. Bye!”

    Ive honestly lost my excitement for the Dragon Ball Super manga. The story is not only being rushed but being unnecessarily changed in idiotic ways in order to be different from the anime. On top of that with Shueisha striking down honest hard working youtubers for covering the chapters. It kills any sense of fun or enjoyment that was already hard enough to squeeze from the lackluster plot. At the moment the hype that the DBS manga was tracking has entirely been absorbed by the Dragon Ball Fan Manga Community. And that’s not really a bad thing.

      I’ve been an advocate DBS manga supporter. With that said, I agree here.
      It’s also annoying to constantly see people bash the manga, FOR THE SAKE OF THE ANIME. Like the anime was honorable or something. I feel like people were comparing it more for “animation versus panel” sake than just actually story telling.
      But now, I’ll admit you can tell Toyo wants this bad boy to be done and over with. I don’t think he likes the plot in general and it shows, I appreciated it at first. Now it’s draining.

    • @KaiserMattTygore927
      @KaiserMattTygore927 6 лет назад +3

      Eh, the anime was better than the manga (at least in this arc) bar none.
      especially since the manga is hardly doing "story telling" when they rush every potential interesting angle and take out everyone not named "Goku, Vegeta, Frieza or Jiren" without anything of interest happening.
      Because that's what we need is less story-telling and more rushing to the end boss.
      yaaaaaaaaaaay.

      You are aware that Toyotaro is not trying to be different than the anime right? Im pretty sure that most of the events that are not on the manga were invented by Toei, I do believe that (even tho is kinda rush) Toyotaro has better understanding of power scaling and go straight to the point, don’t forget that since childhood we all loved dbz for the fights and punches and not the actual story

    • @exantiuse497
      @exantiuse497 6 лет назад +2

      The manga is in a pretty big disadvantage since it comes months after everyone has seen the anime, yet has to follow the same plot. If there were no changes or very little changes, it would be pretty uninteresting, and the attempt to change the plot in a radical way is probably the reason to all the weird stuff we're seeing. If Toyotaro had bren allowed to make his own story that's separate from the anime's, I think the series would have a lot better plot

      Tricko No I say they deserve better due their importance amongst the Pride Troopers and as characters in the Universal Survival Arc as a whole for Universe 11. Besides Jiren of course. Toriyama did not personally create them to be throw away characters.
      Plus if you are going to constantly atate that Toppo is a G.O.D. candidate and maje him look overwkemingly powerful in the manga version of his debut against Goku, then we expect to see that followed up upon.
      Not just mentioned offhandily only to then forget about just because the mangaka rushed the storyline in order to get the conclusion faster. Character development or tension be damned.

    i like how Omen has been depicted(even more so in the manga)as a “mental state”,and how goku chose not to get angry because that would have broken the technique that he needs most, it feels like he’s evolving as a person rather then having another transformation.
    and while the problem of it being “too easy” to achieve for him is a possibility, i can see them making it so goku is unable to set his mind back in to it, unable to let his mind drift naturally again, a tournament like this might have been the only thing that could have brought that out of him,who knows.

    Vegeta's "evolution" was lack luster in the manga. It lacked fanfare and the manga made it seem like he only transformed out of jealousy for Goku which tbh, is a trope that his character should have grown out at this point in time but whatever. The explanation for what it can do, like abilities or drawbacks were nonexistent and we are just left to assume "ooh different aura means he's stronger now"and his declaration of "Oh I never had a teacher and I'm better when I solo train" reeks of hypocrisy especially when Whis and Beerus are in the stands and without them he wouldn't even know what Super Saiyan Blue was or be at the level of power he is currently at which makes Vegeta come off a spoiled and not humbled. I love the action panels that Toyotaro does, it's undeniable that he does a great job but...he crams so much into one page that it makes it hard for the images to breathe at times. And the reaction to 17's sacrifice comes off as phoned in and not genuine.

    • @jamainegardner4193
      @jamainegardner4193 6 лет назад

      Just to even fight at the speeds of a GoD like Jiren does you'd have to have reflexes on par with your speed and strength. Reflexes are entirely instinctual and *can't* be suppressed. Jiren's own innate reaction speed would've made Roshi look like a statue compared to him. It simply doesn't make sense in any scenario for a character like Jiren to get taken by surprise by Roshi, a character who should be Namek saga tier at the absolute best.
      It at least makes sense for Beerus vs Vegeta because at no point do we see Beerus even attempt to fight back before Vegeta gets tuckered out.

  • @daborshy4089

    To all of you who is saying that the characters are “de-hyped” remember that Toriyama simply gives both Toei and Toyotarou a simple script, all the hype that Toei creates is not necessary the real story, actually it’s pretty accurate to say that Toyotarous version is closer to what Toriyama had in mind and there is no denying that this Goku (and every character really) are WAY more like DBZ and not the stupid guys that the anime of dbs showed us

      Exactly, I can't imagine Toriyama giving every damn character in the tournament random power ups and transformations, that didn't feel like Dragon Ball at all, it was too over the top and ridiculous. Toriyama always prefers more simple transformations, Toei just kept showing new power ups every episode to sell more toys. The whole Dragon Ball Super anime didn't feel like Dragon Ball to me, specially because of the art style and censorship.

    • @DSan-kl2yc

    Whilst I didn't like how they treated Toppo and Dyspo here, as a Freeza fan I'm pretty happy: seeing him at almost full health and stamina by the time he's reached this stage in the tounrament makes me hopeful that he'll have bigger role than he had in the anime prior to episode 131(you know 'cause in the anime he got wrecked by Hakaishin Toppo). Also, I'd like to point out 2 things that you missed/glossed over:
    1 - The "evolved" SSB Vegeta was actually beating Jiren for a decent portion of the chapter until Jiren took shit more seriously.
    2 - According to 17, Whis and Jiren, Freeza was stalling when he fought Jiren. In fact, what gave this away to Jiren was the moment Freeza mentioned that he wasn't fighting at his full power (Which also made Jiren want to end things quickly before it became a little more problematic)

  • @vegetas_conscious

    Can jiren even sense Ki i don’t think there’s any evidence that he can or direct comments that he can. So maybe that’s why he didn’t shoot the rock Goku and Vegeta where hiding behind. You could chalk up his reactions to things he didn’t directly see to spatial awareness, anticipation, and instinct. Any opinions on my theory Geekdom?

    I don't mind that Jiren didn't help Toppo and Dyspo, they were pretty much already beaten. Dyspo said he was practically defeated by 17 and Toppo couldn't really defend himself, so I believe Dyspo when he said they'd get in Jiren's way
    I also thought Goku becoming Sign UI was pretty cool because he was reacting to 17 dying but controlled his anger.

  • @jeom3808

    Jiren letting Dyspo and Toppo fall, i saw it as him putting them out of his way, sure they could have stayed “somewhere in a corner”, but Freeza(Frieza) and 17 would have kept attempted to ring them out, (cuz why wouldn’t they). Jiren letting them go, is him saving his energy and not wasting his time, avoiding any “unnecessary moves”.
    (plus, he’s been confident from the start that he’ll be the last one standing, so the number of fighters remaining doesn’t matter to him, in his mind, he’s (and he must be) capable enough on his own, to protect universe 11)

I disagree about the fights, thought they were drawn hastily and were boring. Jiren's character is stupid, one line about his master is not enough. Dyspo and Toppo could have fought vegeta.. but I guess we need vegeta and goku vs Jiren- or not, the chapter ends with Goku ultra instinct and vegeta just standing there.. okay.

    SOOOOOOO Goku can just go UI anytime he wants now? LAME! Its just ANOTHER Ssj form at this point, only its op. If he can just "do it" then that absolutely kills ANY sort of tension for the future. Its like looking at the Goku vs Majin Vegeta fight, *KNOWING* Goku was holding back and he could have just used SSj3 anytime. At least in the anime (even though it makes less sense) he cant willingly activate it and Ui could be used as a sort of randomizer in the future.
    Maby the first two arks of a new series, we never see UI, even when Goku is near death. (Cause his limiter is geeting harder and harder to break) the third arc we could see UI Omen for a fight buuuuut its not what kills the villian. And just loosely repeat that pattern (depending on the amount of arcs) until the *FINAL* arc. THEN, we could see MUI at the final battle or something. That way UI as a whole is still "special" because its not overused and predictable!

    So.. Goku can just turn Ultra Instinct on like a normal form? That's.. That makes no sense. Toyotaro, what are you doing? Do you KNOW What Ultra Instinct is?

    He let them fall because he doesnt like relying on ppl remember? Ppl let him down so he relies on his own power. From what toppo said it sounded like the plan was to not need to use jiren or get in his way and they did so jiren bodied their asses lol

    Worst chapter ever.Toppo isnt G.O.D and 17 is useless here.

      @exantiuse497 6 лет назад +1

      We don't know if 17 will end up useless or not, the arc isn't over yet. The arc could have a different twist than in the anime, for example Goku being unable to beat Jiren before the time runs out, but then 17 emerges and Universe 7 wins from having more fighters remaining

      @@ryukishi07thecreator70 Maybe Goku and Frieza team up an triple-eliminate themselves with Jiren like in the anime, then they wonder what they should do if it's a tie and the GP says "Oh but there's still one fighter remaining" and 17 reveals himself and gets the win. That's how they should've done it in the anime imo, save the revelation right into the end

    The way Toppo and Dyspo were eliminated and pushed back by Final Form Frieza is HORRIBLE in this chapter. It made me actually sick! Not Golden Frieza but Final Form frieza. GTFO
    Goku being able to transform into UI is also BS.
    Chapter was horrible!

    • @bzsmash2049
      @bzsmash2049 6 лет назад +2

      I agree, the only thing that I could think of that explains that is that Toppo was exhausted from his fight with Vegeta, and Dyspo exhausted from 17. But the chapter has other problems too besides that.

    • @exantiuse497
      @exantiuse497 6 лет назад

      Well all he really did was blow up some floating rocks. Toppo and by extension Dyspo were eliminated by Vegeta, Frieza just helped a little
