-Krillin and Tien being eliminated so quickly(and before the could do anything at all) was so bad that I just couldn't help but laugh. Hopefully the manga at least has Roshi Mafuba a few people before he gets eliminated, otherwise the humans literally had NO purpose here.
-Base Gohan contending well against the Trio De Dangers was pretty uber, imo.
-Even though he ultimately got chumped, I'm glad we finally got to see Frost actually *do* something straight-up, instead of just lingering in the shadows... I do wish Zen-Oh would have erased him for causing a scene from the stands like he did in the anime, but there's still time.
-I hope Freeza keeps the tactical mindset he currently has, and doesn't throw a berserker-rage-hissy-fit. I like that part of his characterization here quite a bit.
-I'm glad the manga has been consistent in depicting how awestruck Beerus(and the other Gods) are at the Zen-Ohs' ability to casually erase entire universes so utterly... Really puts their powers into perspective: https://i.imgur.com/iqmZdH3.jpg

If you've read both chapters, then you should know the ToP literally JUST started in the manga. It will be a number of issues before we even see omen/n00b-UI appear for the first time... Nevermind MUI.

Well...there goes my hope of ever seeing Tien using his four arm technique combined with the tri-beam in actual canon. At least there will always be that moment in Multiverse where he used it against Buu lol.
Before Tien got casually eliminated, it would have been nice if his Kikoho would have...I dunno...at least knocked Frost back a few inches or something.
At this point I honestly think Toriyama and Toyotaro have some sort of personal vendetta against ol' three-eyes. He has gotten utterly shit on in DBS.

No joke. Tien's body even looks like a toothpick now compared to how much muscle he had on him back in the Cell saga (nevermind that was kinda the last time he had a memorable moment, even if he didn't necessarily damage Semi-Perfect Cell with that Neo Tri-Beam spam, as the point was to hold him off).

Which makes perfect sense. The idea that Krillin and Tienshinhan could pick a fight with a warrior that could lay the beat down on Piccolo was absurd to begin with.
The only reason Tien's treatment was a problem in the anime is because of how absurdly well Krillin and Roshi did by comparison.
Beerus witnessing Zen-Oh casually nullify a universe firsthand reminded him how damned uber Zen-Oh is(which is why he was clearly shocked by the feat), and also reminded him that his own existence is on the line if U7 fails.

Thats what I was not understanding, I thought I missed something because I was under the impression the magna moved quicker then the Anime and it was ahead of the show. Ive never read the magna before today.

I don't think anyone was saying Tien should compete with the likes of Frost, just have him beat a bunch of lesser warriors like the others did before being knocked off.
But yeah. Well it wasn't just in the tournament, but even the lack of attention Tien got compared to them before the ToP. Getting beat by Frost is acceptable though compared to how he went down with that nobody sniper who his clones could've helped pick off.
