This shit was hype. This is what sticking to the plan looks like.
It's pretty cool that in this episode Krillin's actions resulted in
three ring-outs. That's pretty good for one of the weaker members of the team. He did his universe proud, don't care what Beerus ans Shin say. They're both bad at their jobs anyway.
Gohan's also playing this really smart. He's one of the strongest fighters in the tournament, but unlike the other top tier fighters he's not running around and drawing attention to himself. All the other strong fighters are just going to keep getting into fight after fight and draining their stamina, meanwhile Gohan's using his squad to not only knock out enemies but conserve his own stamina. At this rate by the time we reach the endgame he'll be the one with the most energy left, since he's barely using any.
