Thoughts on Dragon Ball Super Ep.78



The Dragon Ball Universe turns out to be more fucked up we could have possibly imagined. 

As was already spoiled, it was revealed that the losers of the tournament of power would have their universe erased. Everyone is horrified by this except Goku cause that just means he has to win. (Screw the other universes) 

History’s greatest monster then goes to recruit two other people for an exhibition match before the main tournament. In a rare moment Gohan is actually horrified by what his father has done and agrees to fight, they also grab Majin Buu because comic relief. 

Finaly the group gets to Zen-oh’s Palace where it is announced Goku was behind the tournament. So if they didn’t hate him already they will hate him once they find out what the penalty for losing is. The exhibition match then begins with Buu vs. some wolf guy. 

There is a lot to unpack here. First off what was that filter they were using? It doesn’t look good. I mean they animated a great opening, why can’t they just do the whole show like that? Oh yeah, money. Can’t devote a budget to this small niche anime so let’s just put a filter over it that hides the piss poor digital art work.  They don’t even use the filter all the time. It just seems random.

The plot is finally picking up and I am genuinely excited, when I don’t think about how Goku just doomed quadrillions of sentient beings. But hey, Its Goku, he never knew how to behave around important people. It’s just a weird feeling, I like Goku but it’s a little much to overlook.
At least the fights are starting.
