    So, a few interesting developments for DBS 122:
    spoilers:
    Vegeta is beginning to grasp Ultra Instinct and performs a good showing against Jiren, but he's only acquired a rough basis of the technique itself, so he's not at the level of prowess that Goku's demonstrated. Furthermore, while Vegeta can perceive Jiren's movements now, his own offensive and defensive power haven't changed much(especially since he lacks the Omen transformation that Goku has), so Jiren casually no-sold his Final Flash and viciously crippled him with a single shot once he started getting serious. On the plus side, it looks like Vegeta is going to get that Full Power Super Saiyan Blue transformation from the manga to compensate.
    end of spoilers

    Yeah, but if you... man, we're getting into weird analogy territory, like if you disintegrated Superman's arms he wouldn't be able to go "fool! Little did you know that my arms and I are one and can be remade from me!" and will his arms back into being from pure nothingness. - Pendaran

    Four matches. The top 4 matches at that.

    Cody Rhodes vs. Kota Ibushi
    Hiroshi Takahashi vs. Jay White
    Kenny Omega vs. Chris Jericho
    Kazuchika Okada vs. Tatsuya Naito

    The rest of the show will show over the next five weeks, one hour at a time on Fridays at 8 pm. So I'll see the entire show, it'll just take a while. And with the iconic Oklahoman drawl of Good Ol' JR with it, I'm happy.
    Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence.

    ahh ok.

    it was a great show. slightly under last year's wrestle-kingdom but still a great event and worth staying up for.

    jericho showed why he's the GOAT, kenny was being awesome, naito will get his time as champion again, cody keeps showing why the E missed the boat with him and okada is the greatest champion of our generation.

    Oh, I don't. Especially when I can use it to my advantage. (grabs Cthuga, slashes a rip in the dimensional fabric and shoves her in before resealing it). I hope you enjoy your stay at the planet of the Hentai Tentacle Beasts. I'm sure it will be squidtactular.

    If he banished Cthulu to the tentacle-verse all he did was power you up.

    Dragonball Super 122

    So, Goku has Ultra Instinct, while Vegeta has...

    spoilers:
    ...his wicked battle-boner. It's so huge he became the first guy to actually visibly hurt Jiren.

    Of course, being Vegeta, in the end his life is suffering.

    spoilers:
    To be fair, ninety-nine percent of Vegeta's suffering is the result of his own actions and decisions.

    Yeah, people still haven't figured out that I purposefully set myself up for "failure" because A: I have a notable Son Goku complex, in that I want my enemies to be as powerful as possible so that ultimately defeating them will be all the sweeter in the long run. B: I am a firm practitioner of the Xanatos Gambit, because whatever "loss" you perceive from your viewpoint, I benefit exuberantly in ways that are indiscernible to all but myself. Being the colorless and prideless jester has its perks when it comes to lulling your opponents into a false sense of security.
