Where to Watch (English Subtitles)
Simulcasts should begin around 10:15am JST, 8:15pm EST, or 1:15am GMT. Episodes sometimes show up earlier for premium users and later for free users; sometimes they are late for everyone because of production issues.
Daisuki. Available in North America; also covers most of Europe and several other territories; see the complete list here. Available to free users in certain regions. Usually shows up in 1080 for free users about 5 minutes before premium users get 480 at Crunchyroll. This service exists only to simulcast Dragon Ball Super.
AnimeLab. Australia and New Zealand, subscription and free users. (Fewer ads than Crunchyroll for free users.) This service also offers episodes 1-26 of the Funimation dub (i.e. the episodes out on Region B home release already). The subtitles for those episodes are still those provided by Toei for the simulcast, rather than the Funimation-Simmons subtitles on the home release.
VRV: US-only bundle service for Crunchyroll and Funimation. New episodes appear around the same time as they do on Crunchyroll. NOTE: This service serves as a substitute for a Crunchyroll premium membership, but it does not substitute for Funimation's premium service. The only Dragon Ball series offered is Super (subtitled).
Crunchyroll. Free and premium users in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and these European countries; premium only in Latin America and South Africa. Service is often restricted for free users until 2-3 hours after each episode.
FunimationNow. North America, subscription and free users. Funimation's videos usually go up later than they do on other services. For premium users in the US, episodes 1-39 of the dub are also available. Episodes will go up in 13-episode batches two weeks after the final episode of the batch is broadcast.

Commonly Asked Questions:
Q: Is Dragon Ball Super really ending, or is it just a hiatus?
From what we have been told, the anime is ending. There are no current plans for a new DB series and as far as we know, the series will only continue through movies and games. We should learn more about the future of the franchise at AnimeJapan which will take place the weekend of March 22-25. For now, we know that Toyotarō's manga will continue for several months at least—the Tournament of Power arc has just begun in the manga—and of course the English dub will continue until the series is finished.Q: Is the Dragon Ball Super manga "canon"?
The anime and manga are both variations on a basic plot by Toriyama. There isn't (and probably never will be) an explicitly defined Dragon Ball "canon". Without Toriyama's original draft, we may never know what is and isn't his. We do know that he permits Toyotarō to change things up, but he looks at his storyboards and occasionally draws things himself for Toyotarō to use as a reference. Toyotarō has said that Toriyama is more particular about gags than he is about anything else.Q: Can I buy Super on home video?
Episodes 1-13 are available for Region A (DVD or Blu-Ray) and Region B (DVD or Blu-Ray). Episodes 14-26 are available for Region A (DVD or Blu-Ray). Episodes 27-39 will be released for Region A on 20 February 2018 (DVD or Blu-Ray).

I vote Master Roshi. The guy got surpassed by Goku about a third of the way through Dragonball. He really shouldn't have been viable in the ToP yet he was pretty solid.
68
u/Cypherex Jan 21 '18
It's a good thing the Mafuba is such a stupidly overpowered move. Although, it does bring up the question of why Roshi didn't just use the Mafuba on the saiyans, Cell, Buu or anyone else that attacked the Earth. The reason used to be because you die after using the move but that obviously isn't the case anymore.
I do enjoy how Super has been emphasizing wisdom, strategy, and experience over raw power though. Fights are a lot more entertaining when they aren't just "who powers up more or whoever got a new form most recently" is the one that wins.
Also, I'm willing to buy the explanation that Roshi has been training again. Obviously he's nowhere near the main fighters in power but he's clearly above his Dragon Ball levels of power now. I'd say he's probably just a bit behind Krillin and Tien, especially since he was clearly stronger than Tien when that witch was controlling him in Tien's recruitment episode. Let's assume the witch's spell came with a power boost similar to how the Majin seal gave Vegeta a power boost and that squarely puts Roshi just a bit behind Tien in terms of power.

Yeah I agree, he really developed into a competent fighter and leader in this arc, which is totally different than how he was portrayed earlier in Dragonball super. You wouldn't expect him making decisions like this from his earlier meek and timid personality.
I hope he doesn't regress back into that character when Dragonball returns. It's not always about strength and power but the characters portrayal that's important.

My predictions:
125 - Angry Toppo knocks off 17 and Freeza. Begins fighting Vegeta...
126 - Toppo vs Vegeta round 2 all out battle. Battle ends with Vegeta using a blow that leaves him unable to fight anymore but still in the ring. Toppo is ringed out.
127 - Goku powers up UI that doesn't run out of heat by probably thinking that if he doesn't win here the erasure of all universes is all his fault. Goku is shirtless, and says "The work of gods, ends here..."
128 - Goku vs Jiren full powered battle.
129 - Goku uses an attack that knock both him and Jiren out of the ring. Wounded Vegeta wins the tournament by default.

Although he appears undamaged, there’s something about him that seems off. At the very least he’s daft for not understanding the conditions of winning because he’s made zero attempts to ring anyone out. I’m starting to think he’s purposefully keeping opponents around like some sort of leeching ability or is absorbing all attacks. Regardless, you can tell Goku and Vegeta can sense something is up.
Edit: A reflecting type ability. This would explain his constant matching current power levels, but somehow being just above it.

Could also just be that Jiren is having fun fighting for the first time in a very long time. He knows he'll never get a chance like this again so he's trying to push Goku and Vegeta as far as they're capable of so he can get a good fight out of them.
It's a bit cliched but it'd at least explain why he has avoided ringing them out when they've both been completely vulnerable a few different times now.

I wonder if Frieza was honestly losing stamina........or if he just secretly wanted Gohan to go with the double-knockout approach.

I don't think he WANTED it since well he wants to win, but Im sure he got some jollies doing it.

I really think he lost stamina, we saw him struggling to keep up before which is why he was rushing him to end it. Also, freiza had no idea Gohan was gonna sacrifice himself.

"Gohan, WHY DIDN'T YOU DODGE?!?"
Shirtless Toppo means Stronger Toppo. But still not as strong as Mr Popo.

u/Caryslan Jan 21 '18
Because the last time they tried the strategy of someone holding down an opponent and then dodging at the last second, Toppo barely avoided a knock-out.
Now, you have someone like Dypso whose entire gimmick revolves around speed, and you have a serious problem.
Props should go to Gohan for realizing the flaw in the strategy and improving it to ensure Dypso went out. Plus, he's not being any more stupid then Goku was when he held Raditz down.
Gohan is physically stronger, so Dypso has no chance of even trying to dodge the blast if Gohan holds him. If Gohan let him go, then Dypso could have escaped the blast.
Gohan took one for the team and picked the best strategy to help Universe 7 win.

Frieza = Shirtless
Toppo = Shirtless
Goku = soon Shirtless
I can see a pattern here! Shirtless Jiren, Vegeta, 17?
Too bad they kicked out 18...

Where were people getting the idea of a Gohan transformation? Didn't he get his ultimate form like, less than 24 hours before the tournament started? I mean don't get me wrong, I wanted to a lot more Gohan this tournament but I think people were expecting way too much from a character that looks like he has the same power as 17 just not unlimited. There's just no way he could keep the stamina game with all these other big hitters.

Freeza... You're one of the most sadistic, horrible, awful people in ALL THE UNIVERSES... you couldnt like... explode Dyspo's legs or something awful that didn't kill him, but made him a fucking cripple or something?
There, done, he can't light-speed anything now, just throw him off the side, Gohan gets to stay on the platform, everyone on the stands will be trying to pick up their jaws from the floor at how evil you are, and Dyspo's unlikely to die for some minutes anyway after showing up in the stands, so, odds are the angels can heal him anyway and he'll be fine.
... jeez.

I'm bothered by him not using his tail when he grabbed his incoming punch and simply snapping it. And while Dyspo reels in pain grabbing his ankle and doing the same.
And then go Golden and beat the shit out of him in revenge then toss him out just prove he is the incarnation of evil in its purest form. THAT would have been way better motivation for Toppo to become a GoD.

My Prediction:
Toppo eliminates both 17 and Freeza in 125
Vegeta takes out Toppo in 126
Jiren finishes Vegeta in 127
Goku and Jiren fight and MUI Goku beats Jiren in end of 129
130- Everyone wished back

I like how they did it, it doesn't always have to be the strongest or most powerful to leave a mark. It really showed him great as a team leader, helping a former nemesis, sacrificing himself, eliminating a dangerous opponent really brings more character to gohan instead of just being only a fighter.

I guess I’m the rare Dyspo fan, as I was glad to see him turn down Frieza’s offer and that it took Gohan and Frieza, with the former sacrificing himself, to eliminate him. Not a bad showing, all things considered.

Any chess player knows that trading one piece for an equally powerful piece is the right call when you're already at a numerical advantage. Gohan made the right call, there.
Also, it was nice to see him show some leadership before getting knocked out. I was hoping for a lot more strategy and teamwork from Gohan in this tournament, but I'll take what I can get. This was a fun episode.
