"Start of the season"? Dragon Ball doesn't go off of seasons, it just airs every week. Unless you mean start of the current story arc, which kinda started in episode 16, though the REAL start is this coming episode.

Starts slow, has some wonky art in some early episodes, but the show has gotten REALLY good.
That's good to hear. I used to be super nerdy about Dragon Ball. Good times.

Well that's certainly something if true....
It makes me wonder what would be stopping Ginyu from jumping to Goku or Vegeta's body. I guess they're just gonna ignore that possibility like they did with Baby Vegeta and Goku.

Because it's better than letting two Super Saiyan Gods run around and Ginyu was starting to get the hang of Goku's body after a while.

I hope this combined with Krillins renewed desire to take martial arts back up again gives us some meaty Krillin fighting love.

The Fact that Frieza is revived in pieces, becomes as strong , if not more than two Saiyan Gods (Super Saiyans) in 4 months leaving behind all other villains, only to lose pathethically due to not training enough and Whis using his magic time reversal powers, should be enough to know the series is running on fanfic now

this kind of plays into freeza's development as a character though. like, remember when goku gave him an iota of his ki so he could at least have enough energy to fly off namek before it blew up and he wasted it on trying to make that pathetic last-ditch attack? that's freeza in a nutshell. he assumes any boost of power automatically makes him the strongest because he thinks he's the strongest. his ego has always been his greatest shortcoming.

He's Gokus perfect partner in lack of non-fighting learning ability, lol.
Even in Ressurection F Goku offers Freiza a chance to go home despite every time Freiza repeated his dickery.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
The retread of the movies was a very weird decision, but so far has been pretty enjoyable.
Universe 6 is where the real hype is at. I know the Super adaptation of Revival of F is shaping up to be awesome but I cannot wait for the new material. Please go beyond End of Z, Toei.

What the fuck kind of hardcore ass training did Frieza do? At the least I assume some gravity training in the middle of a supermassive blackhole with the massive gains he made.
He lifted two blocks every day.
well remember freeza never trained before in his entire life
so he probably did 4 sets of 15 pushups and leveled up dramatically
I don't think it suddenly became good, it's just that some of it is exactly the same as the movie. It's all worth watching really, the only really low point is the bad animation in episode 5 and a few changes for the worse. I think people started coming around on the show about ep 8 when the Beerus fight took off.

So they're gonna implement SSGSS too?
Why wouldn't they?

To me, it was the 2nd half of episode 13. It was the first part of the Beerus battle with really good animation, and that continued into 14.
Afterwards, for these episodes bridging Battle of Gods and Revival F, I'd say it depends on your taste in humor. Especially starting from 16 (although 15 had two really good scenes), they're pushing the humor much more in these transition episodes rather than those old slow slice of life episodes that weren't very funny or plot relevant. However, if you dislike watching Vegeta making weird faces, or even Goku acting like an idiot, you probably won't enjoy them.
Yes, it was even foreshadowed in the last episode, when Whis talked about how if they raise their ki to a new level and transform into SSJs, they'd bring forth a much greater power.

I'm wondering how Vegeta is gonna gain SSG powers. He already had them by ROF.

He was keeping up with Goku this episode and already could feel God ki. Add to that all his comments about not wanting to use the ritual beforehand. It seems pretty clear that Whis' training is the only explanation we're getting for Vegeta getting to that level.
Unlike some people speculated, I don't think we're even getting anything about side-effects of the SSJ God ritual. If they were trying to build up any mystery about his powers, Goku would have shown some confusion regarding Vegeta's growth here, but there was nothing, so I can't see them going back and attempting to tie it to some unrevealed side effect of the ritual either.
Cement blocks.
Or he felt Goku's ki and didn't realize it!
Goku has god ki now...
He also has normal ki...
Push-ups, sit-ups, and plenty of juice.
He also had to pee.
Here s the thing.
I think it s how it is.
The ritual literally turns you into a saiyan god. That includes those magical abilities goku had ( like regeneration etc... ).
Whis' training simply makes you reach god level on your own.
He turned beerus into a god, and told Vegeta directly that he could make him god of destruction.
So my 2 cents is that super saiyan blue, is Goku and Vegeta going beyond super saiyan god on their own in terms of power, but not actually getting the title nor the abilities of a god.

Have you seen Freezer's calves? If nothing else, the guy made it very clear he hasn't skipped leg day.
That regimen...really isn't that impressive. Even I could do that, and I ain't what you'd call an athlete.

Gotta love those shocked faces lol
What's up with shounen series and always having a guy with glasses and bangs with two trickles of blood down his face?
Is it though? While I said it's not a particularly impressive training routine, it also isn't a a walk in the park either (particularly if you're the type of person who never worked out before).
If you did them consecutively every day (ie 100 push ups at once immediately followed by 100 sit ups etc), that would be pretty intensive I think.
That said, I think it's part of the joke that someone could become so strong with a pretty middle-class workout.
