To clarify: I am talking about why Jiren has detonated some of his energy balls *before* they've knocked certain characters out of the arena -- essentially saving them from elimination..?

Take Kale, for example: Jiren's energy ball could have easily knocked her out of the arena, and eliminated her from the Tourney. However, Jiren purposefully detonated it before that happened:

Why..?

We also saw the same basic thing happen when Jiren blasted Goku at the end of their battle in ep. 110, and again when he blasted Vegeta in ep. 122... It probably amounts to little more than plot/character-induced stupidity, but it got me wondering nonetheless... mmm

Jiren has done a great deal of things that are countet-productive to. . . yah know, winning the tournament. He's lucky U7 has utterly no sense of tactical know-how. Because if they wanted to, they could take advantage of his poor decision making and just coast their way to victory with their superior numbers. The only thing U7 needs to do right now is stall. Frieza actually has the right idea in goofing off with Dypso and keeping Gold in reserve while Dypso waste energy accomplishing nothing beyond showing off. . If saiyan pride or whatever is an issue, they can always wish back anyone they want to fight. Fate of the universe is at stake. Pride needs to take a backseat to self-preservation.

👆

Freeza has been conserving power/stamina this entire time... Only expending energy when it is absolutely necessary. Next to #17(who literally has infinite stamina), Freeza has remained the closest to full power throughout the entire Tourney so far, because he's actually trying to go about this tactically. Sharp contrast to the Saiyans, who have gone around picking fights with every swinging dick(and vag) they've come across... cuz dey lyke ta fite!!!111!herpderp!!!!11!

I know what you meant, but a reasoning for him not knocking them out is because doing so is basically one step closer to a death warrant. Goku doesn't knock people out because he wants to fight them, Jiren doesn't knock people out because it's signing their death warrant. The exceptions being a killer and someone who was very malicious. The others aren't people he has the heart to basically kill.

Ya know, would be nice if Frieza gave a Burter reference in regard to Dyspo. Hoping Frieza’s turncoat proposition gets turned down either way though.

Some prideful heroes of justice they'd be if they accepted. Hope they don't, for the sheer sake of basic character consistency...

😂

Its the most civil, small request you could possibly get. And no, because...no.

Sad.

I was expecting him to when Dyspo mentioned his own speed. Usually DBS has nice little touches like that.

DBS has nice touch's allright.

Like a priest to an alter boy!

Show should be arrested for violating its audience.

I know one thing, Jiren is freaking amazing. The guy was standing in one spot tanking Vegeta punches which is insane since Vegeta was in Blue form. I honestly think it's going to take UI Goku and amped up Vegeta to take Jiren out (they might not even succeed in this fashion either). If this is the case, I think this will obviously put him above Beerus and others. Hell, him tanking Vegeta final attack proves this imo.

I wonder if Whis could easily take out Jiren. Zeno is even amazed and shocked at Jiren power.

Jiren ain't going above Beerus.

With ridiculous ease.

Imagine if it was Ultra Blue xD

He is already above Beerus and he isn't even at full power.

It's going to be Mastered Super Saiyan Blue.

This new current version of Vegeta, is he above HIT now? He looks a bit better fighting Jiren, compared to HIT.

I agree. Seems like it. We have that shot of Vegeta in his new form standing next to KK SSB Goku. Makes me think that is around Vegeta new power level. Still far below UI.

Only in your mind and imagination.

People just be seeing what they want to see regarding Beerus and Jiren... Still too early to say either way IMO.

Well yeah, he's surpassed the current Hit at this point obviously.
