He is simply awesone in my eyes.
Jiren's characterization is complete and utter shit in the anime. He is an arrogant, self-absorbed asshole, who has no respect for those weaker than himself, and only uses them to help accomplish his own goals. His mantra is essentially: "F*ck the weak. Power is everything. Trust no one."
I'm still hopeful that the manga will continue to depict him in a respectable/honorable light, though... It has done a good job with him so far. 👆
He's basically Starro the Conqueror from R.E.B.E.L.s
Entire planet and family invaded by the alien mind controlling starfish. Somehow, this one alien turned the tables and controlled the entire Starro race.
And then he went on a bemder and decided to conquer nine galaxies, just to gather strength.
Their past and motivations are about the same.
