This.
TOP is being dragged out for way too long and we still havent seen shit from Vegeta or Golden Frieza...this whole boredom is all about Goku again.
I get what you're saying, carv, but I honestly don't think it's a case of Goku consciously holding back -- or at least, I don't think that's the intent. I think DBS is just THAT inconsistent at times.
Faulconer's scores alone honestly had the ability to turn a mediocre scene into a great scene... A great scene into a fantastic scene. The likeability of DBS would increase tremendously with his scores alone, imo(I friggin LOATHE the Jap themes. )
As for Goku: I expect him to beat Kefla(hopefully he stomps the living shit out of her), and be *completely* burnt out afterward -- to the point where he cannot participate in the Tourney any longer. Then when shit is looking REALLY bad for U7, he will inextricably be brought back at full power via *some* sort of unlikely means, just in time for a rematch with Jiren(cuz...you know...it can't be anyone else but Goku, lol.)
Don't care a whole lot either way, as the ToP has been extremely boring thus far, imo. I just hope they don't drag-out the remaining 19mins of the Tourney with a shitload of filler and whatnot... But that's probably asking WAY too much.

It's pretty obvious UI isn't something Goku can use at will. It's basically his "I win" button, so it seems tied in to a survival instinct like a Genkai Dama or finishing move at the edges of his stamina.
It's also obvious if Goku was at full strenght, he would have beaten Kefla. And easily at that.
All things considered, the fight actually serves a narrative purpose instead of being pointless padding. And it was also pretty fun to watch.
Maybe it's the beer talking, but looking forward to the next show.

It's a pretty big difference if you look at how Red is compared to Blue. Example, Jiren blocked all of Red Goku attacks with a finger. Super Saiyan Blue Goku was actually able to punch Jiren through a small mountain size boulder. The difference in power is humongous.
I’m surprised cdtm liked the episode. Personally, I thought it was awful. It’s pretty much the opposite of last week’s episode in that last week the fight was awesome but the power levels were nonsense whereas this week the power levels made more sense but the fight was absolute shit. The episode was just bad. The fight was a bore, way too much time was spent on the “peanut gallery” saying incredibly obvious things or trying to hype the fight, and the fight itself was interrupted way too often by other cuts. The only good part of the episode was the end when Goku went UI.
The other universe's reasoning for not resorting to potara fusion was garbage and an incredibly lazy justification as to why nobody else would be taking advantage of such a cost-free power boost.
Ares834, the difference between this fight and the one you mentioned, is this one had a narrative purpose behind it outside of "Needs padding".
And a real struggle is also a first for a fusion character. They're usually unstoppable until the fusion runs out, and never display any emotioms besides arrogance.
But here, we're got a fused beast who was excied about a good fight, but also unsure they can win. It's a novelty, seeing that.

Did it? I really don't see how other than making Goku go UI. Truthfully, everything will seem like "needless padding" until we get to Jiren vs Goku again.
Random question, but has the possibility of a 'double fusion' ever been confirmed or denied? For example, could Vegito merge with Kefla (be it with a fusion dance or another Potara)..?
