So it would seem, at least so far, that in the manga, Toppo will be the Jiren, and in the Anime it's Jiren who is universe 11's ace? Are their roles reversed completely between the manga and anime? And if they are, does this mean that it truly doesn't matter at all who the god of destruction candidate for universe 11 is, and despite the buildup for Jiren, it's really the hidden universe 4 threat that is the ToP main event?

Well, we've already clearly witnessed major differences between Dragon Ball Super in the anime and manga, so I shouldn't be acting surprised. It will certainly be interesting to see where they take all this.

I don't think there's anything indicating their roles will be reversed. If you're referencing how Toppo is a GoD apprentice in the manga, his anime bio had that too, it was just never mentioned in the show for some reason.

Oh wow, so the anime information suggested that too. Interesting. So perhaps the manga has similarly big plans for Jiren.

I remember it being mentioned in the anime that Toppo was a GoD candidate, Think it was the Zen Exhibition Match.
 
how many chapters do we expect toyotaro to take to recruit the team? do you think it's possible that he's going to offscreen the process?

i still don't know what he meant by saying the manga would surpass the anime way back when

It just meant that he was involved in the production side of things, hence his designs making it into the show.

So do you think Jiren has mastered the Self-Movement technique? That's the only thing I see giving him the edge over Goku (besides insane ki).

Also what time does the episode start? Same as usual (8 PM EDT?) or one hour later?

We see him standing still to avoid the blocks and just closing his eyes probably to just sense the danger

So possible

yeah i think that it was foreshadowed the first time goku talked to him, when he dodged the bricks

I imagine that's what him not bothering to dodge those blocks was alluding to. His body just 'knew' it didn't need to move.

Yeah, and if Jiren was the GoD apprentice in the anime he would have been at the exhibition instead of Toppo.

I wonder if we'll hear jiren speak more than one line at a time lol

It's all about the facial expressions.
Toei learned from Kojima.

You mean Tien that went out with the others was a duplicate the whole time?
Toshio said to wait for Tien to be cool, because we were going to have to wait until Tien wins the ToP.

I believe in Toshio. Tien's winning this tournament.

Yep, there's a strong indication Jiren has likely mastered the same ability or has more complete mastery, which combined with his insane ki and other abilities possibly gives him the edge still. We will see just how good Goku's mastery is in the episode.
