I think this episode was mostly "procrastination".
But it got interesting towards the end when 17 sacraficed himself. I feel like they just need to get things moving quicker...it really feels like they're procrastinating...perhaps they're doing things "strategically"...and taking forever to get to the point.
-They have something up their sleeve with "frieza"
-18's reaction towards 17's sacrifice wasn't all that "poignant" as you'd expect.
-17's placement in this tournament was super random...I think he was just fan-service.Wasn't the perfect "fit" but super random.
-At this point, vegeta is just pulling out memories like "cards" just to get himself motivated.
-Notice, Vegeta is more considerate of his family, than Goku is...
-Jiren's character development...poop.They're trying to make him out to be some interesting character, but really he's not.His power is random and sort of undeserving of his power, as it hasn't been shown that he's underwent any special training to be able to battle the likes of Vegeta, Goku, 17, and FRIEZA, all at the same time.Very random, and sort of disloyal to give such a random character such power.I think the portrayal of "Jirens" character in the manga, is way more befitting...it makes it very "clear"...and reminds you of "superman".
-Suddenly "Toppo" has nothing to say...knowing that this is a huge battle
-Gohan has nothing to say, "Piccolo"...I don't recall him saying anything...usually they'd react towards battles like these.
-Where was all the commentary of all the other characters that got kicked off the arena in universe 7?
loads upon loads of procrastination...
