Apparently he’s still struggling with the news that this tournament makes him susceptible to erasure, too. These tiny explosions the God of Destruction keeps having over Goku are usually played for comedic effect, but the fact that they’re becoming more regular may be cause for concern. On this note, Goku’s cavalier attitude once again turns into a point of contention for Beerus. In a battle that doesn’t even have any real stakes other than honor, it arguably may even be the smarter move for Goku to throw the battle rather than a win that comes at the expense of his opponents learning more about his fighting style.įurther reading: Dragon Ball Super Episode 80 Review: Awaken Your Dormant Fighting Spirit! Gohan’s Fight!! Goku’s need to resort to Super Saiyan Blue strength may not seem like that big of a deal, but Beerus is determined to reveal as little of Goku’s powers to the other universes as possible. This is likely a glimpse of what’s to come and the larger attitude that will be present during the actual Tournament of Power. All of the other Supreme Kai and Gods of Destruction patronize and mock Goku through these proceedings. Additionally, the other universes actively cheer for Top to shatter all the bones in Goku’s body, so he finds himself overwhelmed both physically and mentally before he turns the fight around. It’s been a while since Goku has been stuck in a fight where most of his attacks are reactionary, but he’s certainly on the defense here as Top dictates the fight’s tempo and keeps Goku on his feet. Goku is trapped in this vicious, painful maneuver and if not for his Super Saiyan Blue capabilities then he surely would have been defeated here. His strength doesn’t just lie in his speed and agility either as he assaults Goku with a barrage of powerful energy blasts before he ultimately goes in for the kill with a bone-breaking bear hug. Robotnik-like physique, but he’s as nimble as Sonic the Hedgehog. When it comes to the fight itself, Top starts off strong by how he not only quickly dislocates Goku’s shoulder, but pulverizes him with precise acrobatic ability. Ray Hurd does a great job here bringing Universe 11’s gruff Pride Trooper to life in the dub and it won’t be the last time that you hear from him in Dragon Ball Super. The guy is sharp and it’s nice to see that beyond a strong sense of justice and physical strength that the mustachioed fighter is damn funny, too. Gohan at least understands the importance of some well-placed pomp and circumstance in battle.įurthermore, on the topic of fight theatrics, Goku’s pre-battle banter with Top is actually pretty damn witty. It’s also too perfect that Gohan admires the guy’s “questionable” style and sees the character’s inner Great Saiyaman. Accordingly, a lot of the things that Top says happen to involve justice in one way or another. One of few details about Top that he does make public is that he’s a member of Universe 11’s invaluable Pride Troopers (think a more competent, honorable Ginyu Force). Goku! Whose Strength Reaches The Wild Blue Yonder? Further reading: Dragon Ball Super Episode 81 Review: Bergamo The Crusher Vs.
