Arc: The Tournament of Power

Review:

With only 6 more minutes to remaining for the tournaments end, there are 4 fighters from Universe 7 and 2 from Universe 11. Episode 124, which was suppose to be Gohan's final stand literally talked about his final stand on the stage. After the title reveal in the previous episode i was hoping for a development in the power so he could stay till the end.

Leaving the fight between Jiren, Vegeta and Goku, the makers on concentrating on the other fighters at the moment trying to stretch the story out for remaining 6 episodes.

Last we saw, Toppo fighting Android 17 and Gohan. But Gohan had to come for Frieza's rescue when he almost got knocked off the stage by Dyspo. They tried to reduce his range and restricted his moments in one area with Frieza's cage move. Finally when Gohan had to be knocked off the stage keep Dyspo out, it seemed like a huge waste.

We would any day prefer Gohan who is the team leader on the stage that Feirza on Android 17. Don't get me wrong, he is really smart and a good strategist. He seems more liable and important on the stage at the moment than Gohan, with his unlimited power supply. Plus Gohan hasn't been training enough to be able to last in front of Jiren or the new (god of destruction) Toppo, it would make no sense to keep him on stage any further. But I was hoping for Gohan's big transformation. We defiantly missed that chance in this arc and Super.

Episode 125, focused on The fight between, Toppo, Android 17 and Freiza.

Lately they have been showing Freiza in a relaxed manner. he had some winning moments but mostly he has been hit and overpowered by all his opponents, giving us quite a laugh.

We did see Jiren being pushed by our blue heros which finally makes him power up a little giving them a tough time. But that fight is saved for after toppo's destruction (hopefully). Pun intended!

Jiren's power up seems more like Goku going from base form to Super Saiyan than Super Saiyan blue. There will be a way more bigger and crucial transformation waiting in the last 3 episodes. But what that leaves me with is, if Toppo is as strong as a God of Destruction and Jiren is stronger that him where does that leave his power capacity. The angles? The Grand Priest ?

Toppo who powers up to the level of God of Destruction leaves crushes Feriza and is following Android 17 like a rabid dog. Which leave neither of them in a condition to fight. Giving Vegeta the chance of a lifetime to in an actual survival fight. The next episode preview shows, Vegeta pulling off a few kicks while also getting smashed by him.

Title of 126 is “Surpass Even a God! Vegeta’s Life-Risking Blow” Vegeta battles the ”God of Destruction” February 4th.

Its clear that they are not talking about a transformation here but just a blow. May be successfully lands a punch which actually causes some damage.

But you can also hear Goku yelling if Vegeta is planning to throw his life on the line, which to take some serious course of action.

Do you think Vegeta will be off the stage in next episode or is he trying to get Toppo eliminated with his own death.

Who do you think will be off the stage next?

Let me know your thoughts in the comment section below.
