    I was never the biggest fan of this show; I thought it was the weakest of all the Dragon ball shows (gt included), but I have to say that these past few episodes have been darn good. Especially these latest episodes.

    So, did they...
    ... just nerf Ultra Instinct? If so, I am glad. The transforming was getting a bit over the top. Goku beat Jiren, but it looks like a heavy toll was taken. That looked painful. I think the only thing that would have sold it more was if he bled more and saw his muscles cramp more. This would be an interesting way of reeling him in for the end of Z by giving him a ki disorder akin to earlier in the series.

    I'm not entirely sure they nerfed it. It seems like every time Goku used it he was worn down or tired from exerting the power/transformation/skill/whatever. Although Whis could have mentioned it way back during the Resurrection F Arc that there would be consequences to using it. y guess is that it's entirely like SSB Kaioken, an overuse of stamina. The only way you could nerf Ultra Instinct is for it to continue to be extremely hard for Goku to achieve the form or limit its time, like SSJ3. Maybe someday we will get to see full power, full stamina UI.

    Honestly I'm not entirely sure they will even make it back to the end of Z at this point. There would have to be some serious retcons, unless the magic wish by the Super Dragon Balls is for the gang to have never met Beerus. It will be interesting to see where it goes.

    Just watched the latest episode and hmm... is really where I'm at right now. I mean... can Goku just not get a clean win on his own anymore? I'm guessing
    with 17 and Frieza back it's going to be a time runs out thing.
    . But a new in universe film is being released later this year so...

    Public Dragon Ball Super Screenings Draw Thousands in Latin America

    In Machala, Ecuador, the battle was treated like a major sports event as over 10,000 fans gathered for an outdoor, public livestream hosted by the government. Similar screenings were held in the Ecudorian cities of Santiago and Veracruz, San Miguel in El Salvador, and Juárez, Querétaro, San Luis Potosí in Mexico, and more cities in Latin America.

    For the people questioning if the Saiyan featured in the new movie trailer is Yamoshi or somebody else: I don't think it matters what his name is, because the bottom line- at least for me- is: He has to be considerably strong to fight Goku at this point.

    He's going to have to rival Mastered Ultra Instinct to stand a chance, so whoever he is: he has to be ridiculously powerful.

    Otherwise Goku'd just go UI and whoop his ass (snaps fingers)- game over.

    So this new Saiyan's gonna have to be REALLY strong- and honestly, if I were Goku, at this point I wouldn't want to fight anyone on Earth anymore- because we're not dealing with Earth-busters anymore, we're dealing with Universe-busters now- so he'd be smart to try and take him somewhere else- because as an Earthling, at this point I'd be like: Wow, great- I'm gonna die- AGAIN- and be revived- AGAIN- and this is like the 100th time my town's been destroyed- I'm seriously sick of this shit- take the fight elsewhere PLEASE. LOL

    So I don't care what his name is, all I know is that he's gotta be Beerus-strong to give Goku a remote challenge- and that's all I'm interested in.

    Power scaling is getting quite ridiculous now. Jiren would have sufficed as a sufficiently powerful mortal with no real trouble, but they had to try to move things into the realm of the Gods of Destruction which just kind of leaves no real room for growth that makes sense. Destroyers have attendants for a few reasons, presumably, and having guys that can give them trouble running around without a tab on said freakishly powerful guy quite counterintuitive. Would such a mortal not possibly get in the way of a destruction deity doing their job?

    They could possibly get around this, I guess, by reconning some way Jiren's being GoD level and have Toppo be a goof. But the more simple way would to dial back Ultra Instinct and possibly Super Saiyan Blue Evolved and/or cut the former out altogether with some excuse (it being too exhaustive/difficult to obtain, awful cramps afterward pushing Goku to near death, time limit, the Grand Minister or some other higher god deciding that a dumbass like Goku shouldn't have it and somehow stripping it away, etc.)

    Powerscaling has always been off with this series. Best advice? Try not to think too hard about it and just enjoy the mindless brawls.

    I'm just saying that we're not dealing with just earth anymore, we're dealing with the entire universe- because Goku has reached that level now, so if you want to challenge him then you pretty much have to be a universe buster or you're screwed- he'll beat you around like the rag doll.

    So whoever this new Saiyan is, at the bare minimum, he has to be at least a Super Saiyan God- or what's the point of fighting Goku at all?

    I'm really gonna miss Dragon Ball Super. The one series that got me back in Dragon Ball next to Battle of Gods & TFS.

    Cant wait for Dragon Ball Super: The Movie.
