Jumping in Headfirst

There are few more powerful character development moments in Dragon Ball Super than Vegeta beating Toppo. Allow me to set the stage.  The Tournament of Power was started by Dragon Ball Super's newly introduced "Zen-Oh", a being that created all of existence.  Believing there are too many universes, Zen-Oh decides to have a tournament between all the universes that are weaker than a certain level.   Eight of the twelve universes in existence participate to decide which one of them will be allowed to remain in existence. By the end of a forty-eight minute battle royale, only two universes are left: Universe 7, filled with the Z Fighters, and Universe 11, featuring the ultimate opponent Jiren and his Pride Troopers. The Pride Troopers are down to only two warriors by the end: Toppo, and Jiren.  Toppo turns out to be present for a reason, as he is a candidate to become a god of destruction, a being with incredible powers that decides whether or not plane...

It's funny to think there was a time where I actively ignored YouTube. Partially because I lived too far away from the city for broadband, and partially because I was young and going out of my way to be contrarian, I spent years trying to avoid even making an account.

Our heroes go up against the head of Jark Matter himself, Don Armage.  Let's see how they do!

Remember how I said this team hadn't really been tested yet?  Yeeeahhh, it looks like that's coming to an end.
