the second sentence you typed was my point. A character starts off being a character with having an uninteresting backstory, on top of being unlikeable,only to have a great character arc can happen, and it does happen more than you think in fiction.

"Sacrificing myself for others. I kinda like how human that is"
I love this line so much for some reason. Just the absurdity of it.
17's a robot that wants to be like a human, but in a chill, nonchalant manner than most versions of the trope which are angsty and edgy.

You're doing it again. No, it doesn't happen more than I think in fiction. You don't know what I think. I just explained to you that it doesn't matter if it's common.Theglassman12 said:

I have, and Jiren isn't measuring up.

Why was 17 literally the best character in this tournament. He may not have the most elimations but he's been trying harder and doing better then any thought possible.
You think they were planning to kill off 17 since the beginning and that's why we got so much of him?

Thing is, though, is he's a cyborg. Gero's programming/brain washing must have really done a number on him.Ryukama said:

@Ovrhide
Yeah i think so but it's possible Beerus and Belmod could be referring to Jiren's true power though it's quite unlikely.
And Beerus is still much stronger then Jiren if you take into account the manga since he's stronger then six GoDs where as Jiren is only stronger then one.

@Ryukama
If that were the case, Belmod would probably be a bit fine with it seeing as how he unintentionally led Jiren to become the strongest fighter in Universe 11 and considering a GoD's need for little empathy i think he's pretty fine.

So after all this buildup, all this hype, Jiren, the effective "final boss" of the series (currently), is, in fact, just another generic flying brick (with a batman backstory to boot) who's only ability is to punch and shoot beams that are "strongererer and hardererer" than anyone else, not through actions per say, (all these climactic fights are basically the same save for different after effect filters on the attacks, punches "feel" the same, rocks and mountains are destroyed in the same way they were back during Goku vs Vegeta 1.0, etc,) but through the peanut gallery constantly telling you they're the strongest... ya know... just like with Friza... and Cell... and Buu... and~
I really hope this series does in fact end next month, it hit the power ceiling decades ago, and it's halfway decent writing died with Dragon Ball, just let it rest in peace Toei, you still have One Piece to milk endlessly.

It's impressive how they made Jiren lame in design, power and background story, even damn 14 years old kid can throw backstory such as this for a character
Jiren made two fighters from U7 accidentally kill themselves and the GP is useless as always
Frieza is the joke of the show now, seriously ring him out already
RIP the MVP of this arc #17 <\3

DBS have multiple writers "yay just like Marvel and DC" so no wonder one episode he looks so strong and one episode he looks like having troubles with even regular SSB GokuRyukama said:
Toei made Jiren way too OP in the special episode, glaring the spirit bomb back and being in the GoD even while massive holding back is just ridiculous
He's still OP as hell even now tho, he's at full power and kicking everybody like hey are nothing

Im not sure why people are complaining about jirens backstory. It completely fits his boring,generic, lameass character to a T.
Its probably the most consistent writing DBS has produced to date.

Some evil-doer killed Jiren's parents and because of that he trained and became strong. Meanwhile Goku and Vegeta are fighting on the same team the guy who killed their parents and their entire race

Its from our standpoint rediculious but jiren is fighting 3 a 4 characters at the same time that are minimum blue level tier (and not only hand to hand, ki blast overall the place). Thats insane. Jiren did tanked a kaioken times 20 knee in his face (back then he was caught off guard already, before vados statement.Ryukama said:
I agree with you he looked not that strong considered he was suppressed against Goku back then, powering up seems like powering down. I still think he isn't at full power yet. He will release it against mastery UI Goku.
And btw what the hell is wrong with Whis. Did he lost his tongue? </div>
