Dragon Ball Super Episode 96 - "New Warriors of Dragon Ball Universe"- Review

In Dragon Ball Super Episode 96, Universe 7 reaches the Tournament of Power stage, as
we finally get introduced with almost all the warriors of 7 other Universes.
This episode doesn’t however start The Battle Royal, but we did get some action from 3 of
the top Gods of Destruction tricked by The Great Priest.
Their ki and attacks looked spectacular, at the same time we realized just how durable
this stage is, it’s made with Kachi Kachin the metal harder than the hardest metal of
U7.
Because when The Gods of Destruction collides multiple Universes are under the risk of getting
annihilated, but this stage only took a little damage from an encounter between 3 of the
most powerful Gods of Destruction, and they were later made to fix the stage.
The God of Destruction Gene seems to be the most intelligent and powerful out of the batch,
he realized what was going to happen, and overall the way DBS is portraying him makes
me feel like he is the strongest God of Destruction!
What do you think about this?!
Anyways, in this episode the fans also got a much anticipated moment that is Frieza meeting
Frost and looks like they started on a good note as Frost agreed to work with Frieza,
but of course what their plan is wasn’t told to us.
That would be added to the thriller element of the battle.
Now, they are both deceiving character, so the question is will this partnership last?
Will Frieza keep working with him after finding out that he is not all that strong?
His personality says he wouldn’t, but then again there’s one more thing Frieza respects
apart from power, and that is evilness.
So, Frieza might see potential on that side of Frost.
Don’t forget that Frieza is making a master plan, and if it works out, it will mean trouble.
Because he even said he won’t let Beerus do whatever he wants forever.
So his plan must have something to do with even trumping the Gods.
On the other hand, Frieza shouldn’t be betraying U7 either, because if U7 lose it would automatically
mean he would be erased too.
So, there are a lot of factors in work, and the best part really is that it’s hard to
predict what might happen.
Do let me know your comments and theories about this part in the comments section.
The Main Highlight of This Episode was Jiren The Grey, The Strongest Warrior of Universe
11, and probably the toughest opponent U7 is going to face in this tournament.
Goku was trying to be friendly with them, but obviously they weren’t going to do the
same, especially because of the misconception that Goku is the reason behind all this chaos!
I really like how most of The Pride Troopers are so big in size, Goku looked like he was
getting bullied by them.
However, Goku is really excited to meet Jiren, knowing how powerful he is.
In fact the entire Universe 11 caught everyone’s attention when they made their intro to the
stage, their sheer power could be felt throughout.
It looks like the real deal will be between Universe 6,7 and 11!
However, the badass level of Jiren in this episode was over 9000!
This dude is super concentrated, when The Gods of Destruction were fixing the stage,
and as the broken parts were coming towards them Goku dodged it right away, but it’s
like Jiren felt the movement, and calculated everything before hand, and didn’t even
have to move.
Jiren looks like the type of character who is good at sensing stuff.
The way he is designed it tells us that his sight is better; he can probably hear and
smell better.
Overall he is an extremely concentrated individual who can see things happening swiftly.
He looks like the 2nd legit rival in this series after Hitman Hit.
I believe the action between him and Goku won’t be starting for another couple of
episodes, but we all are eagerly waiting to see him in action.
The Great Priest reminds that the skill of flight is against the rule, as Goku checks
it out.
The best thing about this Battle Royal is that it’s going to be extremely refreshing.
We never really had team battles in such an organized way in Dragon Ball before.
Also, Flight is a skill that is constantly used in almost all the fights, but this time
it’s not allowed.
Many people were missing the raw fighting entertainment of Dragon Ball days, and back
in the days flight was not a common skill that was always used.
So this will bring back the root style of Dragon Ball, and this is one of the major
reasons why fighters like Roshi, Tien and Krillin is in the team, and also the reason
why they will be effective.
However, we can expect to see these fighters jump real high, like the air battle of Dragon
Ball without using flight.
That would not be against the rules, especially since it was mentioned that fighters whose
physical attributes naturally allow them to fly won’t have that problem.
As we saw 2 warriors from Universe 10 being able to fly because they have wings.
U10 has a variety of fighters, a lot of colors; I guess they will be a refreshing element
in the tournament.
At the end a bit of 2017 comes in.
Universe 4 has a lot of Green going on, this giant dude looks interesting, and then of
course we have the probable leader of the group.
The Spy Guy who leaked information about Frieza earlier on.
This team doesn’t look all that powerful, but there is a deceiving vibe that I get from
them.
If I remember correctly this is the Universe who only has 8 visible fighters, the other
2 is not seen, but their presence is felt.
Could be invisible or really small, or maybe the ability to change shapes.
The only new fighter we see from Universe 6, is this pig looking little dude.
He looks like the intelligent type, might have some crazy skills.
Mysterious thing is 2 of the U6 fighters are not shown clearly, they are kind of blurred.
I wonder why they are doing that at this stage.
Both of them seems to be of the same kind, and is standing in a manner similar to Hit.
Coming over to Universe 9, even though they were initially struggling they have managed
to gather all 10 fighters.
Is that Groot in the middle though?
U9 has a lot of jobbers, and is expected to get eliminated fast.
Unless they have some surprise, maybe one of the fighters had potential even Sidra and
others aren’t aware off, and thus they will be surprised.
Universe 3 just like expected has a lot of robotic fighters, and this is the guy who
looked like he was similar to Cell when a shadowy version of him was seen in the intro.
Still he looks interesting, he could have been developed like Cell, and feels like he
will have transformations.
Most of U3 fighters have been modified specifically for the tournament, so they will have a really
systematic good time of ruling in the battle royal.
Before someone breaks up the system or the algorithm, then half of their game will be
over.
Universe 2 looks really promising, they have 3 giant fighters and all of them looks intemedating.
Is the design of the blue one inspired from Magneto?
The shadowy guy in the back looks real deadly, then we have this girl who transform into
a pink fatfu*k, this female character looks cool might have something to do with dark
magic or mind control I have a feeling she will be popular.
Most interestingly there’s a Yadrat in the team, and it was noticed by Goku too, they
better watch out.
This race has some insane techniques.
Goku learned Instant transmission from the Yadrats and it’s still one of the most effective
techniques.
Then, Universe 11 undoubtedly looks like the most legit team.
Their biggest advantage would be that they have always performed as a team, you can tell
that from the Uniform, and teamwork is the key here.
Among the new fighters we have Charizard, welcome him to the Dragon Ball Universe.
We have a vampire like dude, a really small one- ant man like and you can see the rest.
Sadly they have a tendency of making poses like Ginyu force that takes some seriousness
away from them.
Jiren is the only who is not posing and yeap he is the biggest problem.
Universe 7 gets their own slide, and look at this picture of Krillin.
This clearly tells you he is going to win the tournament of power.
Well, guys that’s about all for now.
Make sure to check out Episode 98-101 spoilers, the mini video screen shall appear, Click
and watch.
