If there is one lesson that DBZ has taught me, it’s not the size of the muscles that counts, but how you use them.
 
A child can punch a mountain in half and fly at mach speeds as long as he is knows kung fu and has mastered the secrets of the Ki.

@Turkeynomster  
Dragon Ball’s actual “muscles” is ki.
 
Dragon Ball Z taught me that martial arts doesn’t do jack shit so long as you have overwhelming amounts of ki. Creative ki usage? Fuck that! Let’s go with different colored energy blasts.

@HJSDGCE  
And like Plague of Gripes says, apparently ki acts as a kind of armor around the fighter when they fight, so they don’t get injured. RE: Goku gets hurt when Krillin throws a rock at his head while he’s asleep because he’s caught unaware and not generating ki, and Plague is like “this is literally the closest this series gets to explaining how this dumb bullshit works.” But to me it kind of makes sense. You fill your body with spiritual energy and it doesn’t matter how physically strong you are, if you have the inner focus and strength of spirit, you can overcome mighty foes.

@Nightweaver20xx  
Then just name the ki in your body used for anything but ki blast as “stamina” and it helps explain it more with Xenoverse having a stamina break leading to a fighter being defenseless and unable to dash and stuff.

@Turkeynomster  
Bruce Lee taught the world that, too. You can generate power through technique, discipline, and focus instead of having bigger mass.

@dt  
Bruce Lee also taught that you can unleash great power by screaming really loud in a fight. That’s the most important lesson, I’d think.

@Turkeynomster  
That’s actually scare tactic in order to unbalance your opponent by surprising them, and also to become more confident in yourself so that you won’t flinch.

Reminder that Beerus can use Ultra Instinct, but has not yet mastered it.

@Turkeynomster  
@HJSDGCE
 
That’s actually also part of the form. You should exhale as you punch because holding your breath causes tension in your muscles, which results in a loss of power.
 
You’re also supposed to exhale in short bursts, not scream for ten seconds. That part is probably psychology.

|| The rest of the Fireballs are out, leaving 3 U2 fighters left.  
This wasn’t a bad episode per se, but I’m disappointed at how easy the U7 Dragon Team is surviving in the Tournament.||

@Salamenace
 
That’s the power of plot armor, friend. But I agree.

quick edit of an existing gundam design (took out the back equipment and added a tail)
 
does it work?
 

@OptimusPrimevil  
Iron Blooded Orphans, mobile suit used?

@Cyborg_pony  
gusion rebake (the head convinced me to use it as the base model) with the gundam age’s xamdrag for the tail.
 
since it’s a quick edit, didn’t implement the lupus rex’s clawed feet into the design.

2 eliminated for 24 left.
 
Didn’t say how many minutes passed, so still at 17.
 
Also Jimeze is still alive.

This episode is catharsis made manifest. I am so glad those two bitches got knocked out…

Kinda disappointed with how little Shin matters. Dude’s supposed to be Beerus’ equal. He should have some relevance.

@Dustcan
 
He was kinda endearing after 17 and 18 took out Ribrianne XD

If the next episode is clear, it’s obvious which universes are being erased next.

@09MurphyM
 
Could go either way between U6 and U2. But since the Namekians are finally getting some attention…

@Dustcan  
I actually wonder if they would destroy two universes in a row, maybe even in the same episode.

@Mad Black  
The preview seems to suggest that is what will happen next time.

I wonder if Beerus will show sympathy for Champa when U6 gets erased.

@Splinter  
There could be an amazing Scene of him getting ready to Hakai his own team out of grief, until using the super dragon balls to undo the tournament is pointed out,

So i was contemplating the whole Goko thing and when designing a version of the new Gohan i had a hilarious idea of her begging Piccolo to help her train Videl and making a call back to a earlier scene where Krillen got her to agree to go to school by pointing out that without getting out more her only marriage prospect would be master Roshi in drag,
 
“Please oh PLEASE help me train her Mister Piccolo! she’s super cute and i just know if i help her she will like me back and i don’t wanna marry Master Roshi in a wig!”
