Jiren was regarded as the strongest mortal in the multiverse, even more powerful than his God of Destruction. He and Goku transcended the power level of the gods.

Now you've got more people in Goku's universe alone who are "even stronger," while Beerus of course remains a moving goalpost who can OHKO everyone. Ugh.

Kind of funny that of all the places you would pick for Super to jump the shark, you somehow picked the part where it actually gets good

But he was unironically one of the best villains in the entire series.

Dragon Ball has always been "Hey, this new guy is stronger than the last guy you fought who almost ended the world. Go fight him."

I'm 100% certain we'll see someone stronger than the Angels and even Zeno one day.

The manga is still going on.

In what way? I don't think a word out of his mouth hasn't been said by a dragon quest boss.

Beerus solo'd the other GoDs

It is weird Beerus didn't master UI by now, but I guess this newest chapter explains why

So is the show still making new cartoons, or is this just maga thing. Because I assumed that it was done and over ?

Are Krillin and Gohan still losers?

It's hard to believe the current age they're in the story of Super is Age 780, that's the same Age Future Gohan was killed by the androids and future trunks became a super saiyan for the first time.

It's hard to believe that the Kid Trunks of the main line age would have absolutely no problems whatsoever defeating and killing Future Android 17 and 18, through "Future" is kinda pointless now, it'd be better to all them timeline alts, but then again I suppose that's no longer accurate as well given happened in the anime

The manga is still going on, and we have confirmation that there will be a new canon movie coming next year.

idk i think the lazy pallet swaps was more "jumping the shark". That and the retcon that nothing in dbz mattered, potara now have a time limit, etc. Plus the insistence that all the new stuff is canon for some reason.

it's a really poorly done show, kinda ruins the legacy. Very lazy

The first fight with Beerus they were so strong their punches were about to destroy the universe or something. Now they are even stronger but that does not seem to be an issue?

Was it ever confirmed in the manga that Jiren was stronger than his GoD? The manga at least tries to be somewhat consistent with power level, the anime doesnt care at all and says all sorts of crazy stuff.

Wait, is that whole "can access ultra instinct to an extent" bullshit still occuring in the manga? That was literally the stupidest thing DB has ever done.

Honestly Roshi doing faux UI isnt that big of a stretch. All he does is beat off and do training

Some would argue that is peak male mindset. Total openness to oneself. The down side is being horny detracts the mind and body from syncing and reacting, so everyone tried to put Roshi in a state of refractory permanently - Mastered Ultra Refractory Roshi. It turns him into a a MURRder machine.

He dodged a couple moves from Jiren when Jiren assumed he was a scrub, but Jiren stomped him right after that. Roshi is def not SSJ Blue level. It just served as the final inspiration for Goku for UI, he just had to expand on what the Turtle School taught him

UI Roshi makes sense, since UI is more like a state of mind than a power level and he is a master martial artist. I like the idea of it acting as a balance against the ridiculous power creep.

They're doing a pretty good job explaining. Both Moro and Granolah started weaker than Goku and Vegeta, but took crazy cheating measures to obtain power.

Moro especially was decently layed-out because he actually got severely outmatched at first but eventually developed using weird non-ki magic to absorb power like Buu. That's believable.

Granolah is a bit more of an ass-pull, just wishing the dragon to unlock any possible potential (he shouldn't be more powerful than Gohan who went through a similar process), but whatever, that storyline has been so fun I'm dismissing that. At least they tried, if both cases were simply "A new villain more powerful than before showed up" then that'd be crap.

Goku Black was dumber than both of them even though I thought he was a cool villain overall. Unliimited zenkais, but Goku's and Vegeta's zenkai ability suddenly stopped because it had reached its limit? Yeah okay.

I like to think it stops being majorly effective until they can breakthrough to the next stage. Just like with ascended saiyan, Majin, SSJ3, the God forms and not leaking ki outside, kaioken and blue ect

Everytime they make a breakthrough they continue boosting their power again.

This state of mind was mattered by Goku in Dragon Ball. Taught by Popo
