Vegeta trying to attain UI was pretty funny. He was lucky his opponent was super weak (I guess he chose him on purpose).

Didn't she obliterate one of Universe 10's guys while trying to hit Vegeta with her "Maiden's Charge" attack?

I thought the preview said something the u6 namekian has infinite recovery power, maybe goku will be nearby?

But seriously, I don't know why u6 fighter hates u7 so much. Yes u7 has the most people, but we all know Jiren will not allow that to happen, so back when the u6 had more than 3 fighters, why not wait a little bit and see what happens? Why they try so hard to take out the only fighter who can delay what jiren wants to do? Isn't the most ideal scenario is both u7 and u11 have 3 or less fighters left? You don't want Jiren to go solo

Yea but that is not on a proper fight as she only "Splatter" him with her charged attack.

Ribrianne looks down 18 like that, wow I think there is something wrong with this, something is very very wrong.
Can Ribrianne really tell whether 18 has love or not? This is just insane.

How funny... The maiden of love lose to the power of love...

It's wrong in the exact same way that supporters of Ghostbusters 2016 dare to proclaim that their loud, mean, ugly and stupid screaming harpies are "strong, beautiful and superior" to the Smart, Heroic, Handsome Dignified and Funny 1984 Ghostbuster.

Hell, Ribrianne even turns into a hideous giant xerox of the Staypuff Marshmallow Man here!

Yeah, no one's using a tiny bit of strategy. You'd expect more alliances between different universes for the purpose of taking down a big shot, and more biding your time and letting the others tire each other out. For example, why didn't Hit help UI Goku take on Jiren? Together they could have won. Logically, he should have done that. They can settle it between U6 and U7 later. Also, now that U6 has only the two Namekians, they should withdraw or start taking out small fries, NOT enter in a fight with two mid/top-tier U7 fighters.

come on if they started thinking like Navy Seal, we won't have a show left to watch.

Maybe, I honestly don't remember if the guy dropped out or not. I'll just trust you and Ramero. In any case, not surprised it's only one, since most of the eliminations were done by U6 and U7 (with U7 eliminating most U6 characters to boot) , leaving only scraps for the other Universes, which is something that is seriously wrong with this tournament. It should have been more balanced.

Instead of thinking like regular seals. As in, the marine animal .

The only non-universe 6/universe 7 eliminations in the tournament are:

Ribrianne eliminated Jirasen
Jimeze eliminated Universe 10's yoga dude
Basil eliminated Universe 10's butterfly lady
Jiren eliminated Maji Kayo and Hit
Sniper Dude got a dual elimination with Tien

I think that's it. Until Universe 4's bugs take down someone from U7 in 119.

I agree it should have been more balanced. They should have shown some of the other universes fighting against each other and getting some eliminations to play up the battle royale element. Even though we don't know or care about the new characters yet, those fights could be used to hype up the abilities of the victor for when they fight someone we know from U6/U7.

Technically Hit did help, but it's like a sec too late (that or nanosecond depending if you are on the dbs time frame ). He did recognize the importance of having someone who could counter Jiren (I hope it's not just because Goku "befriends" him)

Hit and Freeza are the only ones who try to think.

To the defense of the U6 namek, Gohan is nowhere fighting in the top tier level. We were all so happy that Gohan got his form back, but no, staffs can even make Gohan drop the power level during the tournament. Otherwise please explain to me why Gohan needs to save his ultimate power against 2 piccolos . I am not even talking about Freeza, do we honestly think our favourite character like no 18 would struggle in the fight between two nameks? This is beyond absurd

Considering the fact that the point of this tournament is to eliminate people through ring out, that isn't as much of an issue as it would normally be.

It's called plot armor, any one else wouldn't be able to last like this.

I'm worried for Piccolo next week, poor Guy doesn't have that to extend

Hopefully though, without Piccolo in the ring Gohan can do more on his own, pros and cons out of this

Well, there are people theorizing that the two U6 Namekians have used Namekian fusion bajillions of times each, and that that is what the image in the preview is conveying where we see the silhouettes of a bunch of Namekians as they recover.

They aren't as cool as Gast Carcolh though.

I hope they let the Ultra Instinct is just for Goku and probably final. Getting more transformation in these franchise is crazy. First we thought that Goku was the legendary Super Saiyan, then Trunks appeared with that Super Saiyan. Then Vegeta transformed, and kid Gohan even surpassed them all. Seven years later, Goku surpasses Gohan's transformation with 3 and Gotenks himself also surpasses him. Then in Super we had two Super Saiyan God forms and finally Ultra Instinct.

[vietthai96]

Ultra Instinct is a skill that require to train, but Goku have some special talent in him that make him can unlock it through tranformation, wiki call it Ultra Instinct Omen acoording to Dragon Ball Heroes, well a transformation to unlock UI without training

Well Akira want to end DBZ in Frieza Saga so he make Goku the Legendary warrior: Super Saiyan. But well people demand more saga so he must make new Saga with new Enemy, and like usual the new enemy must be stronger than the last one so...... MC must be surpass his current limit and it become a patern in this franchise. Cell Saga end with Gohan is the heroes but fan still demand more . Gotenks is a fusion warrior but still SSJ3(he is fusion warrior so he stronger than Goku SSJ3 is normal), Mystic Gohan is just Potential Unlock at the highest level, so if something new it would be SSJ4 in GT and now is God and Blue in Super

Honestly while a battle royale is an interesting concept, there is no way a weekly anime would be able to pace it well, much less a series like Dragonball where half of the fighters refuse to work together.

Even when there are multiple fights going on at once, the weekly episode format makes it look like the fights are happening sequentially, so the pacing gets dragged down.

Unfortunately all the transformation in DBS wasn't enough to take down Goku's opponent
