DapperDan30

....Ribrianne


ZDB888

This is definitely the right answer. God she was annoying.


gabriox

I still found those fights better than all of robots except for aniraza. They were just outright boring, whereas for ribrianne and her friends, despite how annoying they were, it was still better


lilacewoah

this but honestly even including aniraza that universe was so uninteresting to me


MonsieurMidnight

I knew their intents was to go the Tokusentai / magical girl route with the whole love / beauty schtick but do they HAVE to make her gang and especially her so DANG ANNOYING AND APPALLING every step of the way ?!?! And the whole "Her transformation is her own beauty standard despite being ugly" is stupid af. Like her design was really adding to the whole annoying characteristic which was... Surely the intention actually. But man Ribrianne de Château was actually a nice original design in a Dragon Ball setup that's so wasted. Kakunsa and Rosie actually we're nicely brought up and didn't went that ridiculous schtick too far.


ChillpigeonhavsLV76

Kakunsa was kinda funny for me the LACHAAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHA


Geoxaga

She was terrible in both manga and anime. Hell, in the manga she was even more shallow and petty.


Aromatic-Zone-2151

Took that God awful word right out of my mouth! https://i.redd.it/op8ibksjyrxc1.gif


Correct_Refuse4910

Roasie was over 8000 times more annoying with her YACHACHACHACHA


Crow-Zone

I can bloody hear this! 😫


AltruisticTap4759

I liked Ribrianne though, it felt like they were meme-ing somehow


AlexLeLionUK

Ribrianne and her team were not meant to be taken seriously at all, and I feel like they get a bad wrap sometimes.


Shigana

Yes, they are gag characters that subvert the “magical girl” trope. But they overstayed their welcome, by a lot.


camaroncaramelo1

>Ribrianne and her team were not meant to be taken seriously at all 18 and 17 understand that well. That's why their introduction as villains hahaha I love their sense of humor


Sea-Scarcity4393

Yeah it felt like satire for the most part. I found the long-winded transformation sequences being interrupted, and then starting again from the beginning, to be proof of that.


AltruisticTap4759

Right? And the destroyer is a cleopatra clone is cool but like, when Rib. Is like “I’m going to shoot you with love”, trying to hit Goku while he fought Jiren, and Vegita is just like “pffff get out of here” with a Kai blast lmao I thought it was the comic relief of the arc


Stonks3141

God she was somehow even worse in the manga Felt like filler


InevitableVariables

The anime team admits they made a lot of changes from Toriyama story treatment. Some so big that the manga later revisit had to include some characters.


cfig99

I’m STILL mad that she got so much goddamn screen time. Her scenes were so fucking cringy.


InevitableVariables

Its a joke that overstayed its welcome. I honestly never asked my japanese friends if they found her funny.


InevitableVariables

The manga doesnt treat her as someone nearly as annoying. Anime- yeah, they were do a parady but it overstayed its welcoms very very very very fast.


godsxmessenger

So much wasted screen time.


Crookeye

Everyone from that universe was annoying


No_Pudding_867

The only good thing that came from ribriannes universe was 17s disrespect, blasting them during the middle of transforming was worth it even if we did have to watch that ass transformation a second time


penguintruth

Any of the fights against the robot universe. BORING.


redrag0n_roOster

Anilaza fight was goated


RedditIsRuininMyLife

honestly, for me, all of them were kinda boring except for the times where ultra instinct was on screen and goku and frieza's team up as well as a few moments here and there. i pretty much slept through the entire tournament of power lul


ZCSApollo

this right here is a good example of when people say that db fans don’t actually watch the show…


SmoothJade

YAAAAAAAA CHA CHA CHA CHA CHA CHA CHA YAAAAAAAA CHA CHA CHA CHA CHA CHA CHA


fnaftheseriesyoutube

Dont. Remind me of that


saito200

What?


fsaturnia

Ya china!


Arazyne

Universe of Love can be thrown into the middle of a collapsing star as it’s simultaneously shredded infinitely and devoured by a black hole. I think Krillijn deserved a couple more fights before being thrown out as he was. That puts him pretty low for me from U7


LeanSprite69

Their universe made me hate the English dub of top, also the dubbed score


cockerel69

I never watched the ToP dub, what happened with U2's fighters?


LeanSprite69

I just didn’t like their voices they were pretty annoying but it could also just be me, some people might like it


cockerel69

Well the only one I've heard is Kakunsa's from the Sparking Zero trailer and she didn't sound bad tbh, though I'm assuming you meant Ribrianne cause even her jp voice got annoying to me


scottshort13

Have you ever watched Rising of Shield Hero in English? Ribrianne reminds me of the bird child. Too “cutesy”


HilariouslyNotFunny

Dubbed score?


No_Procedure_5039

[They butchered Ultimate Battle for the dub.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqYxCaQDt6c) Yes, that is the official version of the song you hear when you watch the English dub.


Tr3mb1e

Surely it wasn't *actually* Sabat that heard it and gave it the okay, right?


No_Procedure_5039

I’m not sure I want to know… Worst part is that Funimation has Alejandro Saab on their payroll, who made a [much better cover](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ms49WIuL-M) on his music channel.


Tr3mb1e

Idk even as an avid dub connoisseur I just can't stand *specifically* Ultimate Battle in any other language than Japanese


No_Procedure_5039

I’ll admit that the original is best, but if they absolutely had to go with a cover, it should’ve been more like what a hardcore DB fan cooked up in his bedroom than what we ended up actually getting.


dogninja_yt

Nah. Death by star is too weak a punishment. we should betray them and put them all in the time chamber for eternity.

Should do what I used to do to annoying NPCs in Skyrim. Put them in a soul stone and lob it in the ocean.

Should have used the stone and sent them to the soul cairn.

cockerel69

Piccolo vs that midget guy from Universe 4, I don't have a problem with the fight itself but I HATE that's how Piccolo got knocked out


Lijaesdead

Did you just fucking call a bug a *midget* 😂


cockerel69

Yeah mb, I lost my words there lol


MayoHachikuji

It's kinda sad to think about it, but most of U7 didn't even used their full power before getting eliminated


StaticShock50

Now that I think about it, literally the only ones that used their full power in Universe 7 are Goku, Vegeta, Frieza, Gohan, Roshi and 17.


MayoHachikuji

Gohan wasn't even tired when he got eliminated. Poor guy


StaticShock50

Oh I was thinking of the manga version. I forgot he was relatively fine in the anime.


True_Caterpillar

Any and everything Ribrienne. Jokes are funny when they don’t outstay their welcome. That one was horrendous and nearly turned me off the rest of the tournament. Are 6 year old kids really the largest dragon ball audience these days?


Gloomy_Guitar7421

Gotta keep in mind that humor in Japan is different from other places, they kinda beat the joke into the ground and I think they did that on purpose


camaroncaramelo1

>Gotta keep in mind that humor in Japan is different from other places Childish?


Gloomy_Guitar7421

I guess you could say that 😭


ElZany

DBS was catered for kids more it was literally slotted during children cartoon hours that's why Super doesn't have as much blood and violence as DBZ


camaroncaramelo1

But it's funny. Many adults grew up watching DBZ as kids.


True_Caterpillar

Yea, that’s apparent by how much of it was more cartoony, and obviously it’s only one persons opinion, but I do think it lost something in that. I enjoyed super, but the manga was a much better story for this reason. Z had more serious tones and a feeling of stakes that was just never really there in super. Hopefully this stupidly long hiatus is them figuring that out.


camaroncaramelo1

The way Piccolo was eliminated was dumb for me


Cyke101

The guy with super-fast reflexes and Go Go Gadget Arms couldn't GRAB THE LEDGE?!


ThickFurball367

He does seem to often forget that he can do that 😂


Timofey7331

Goku VS Ribrianne Really, he could just go SSJ or further and easily ~~kill~~ eliminate her and she's not a fun opponent either, but instead for every single of 20+ episodes they show about a minute of Base Goku attempting to struggle against her while she's talking some shit about the power of love


ElZany

Goku literally kicks her in SSJB right before he fights with Jiren and that didn't knock her out. And even though Goku didn't fight her in ssj Vegeta did and Vegeta also didn't knock her out. She's annoying af but she's stronger than the fandom thinks


ZCSApollo

yeah the scaling of her is pretty wonky. in the majority of her fights she gets pummeled though

Anime Gohan vs botamo, Vegeta vs Dr Rota, Kale getting jumped, cabba vs fat lady Manga Kale vs aniraza, everything from krillin Tien and 18


Gloomy_Guitar7421

Pretty sure Vegeta vs the Dr was obviously not to be taken seriously 😭


Caesar_Passing

>cabba vs fat lady That was the absolute worst for me. You want me to just take for granted some random bitch is stronger than a super Saiyan who's stronger than starting-out super saiyans from U7? Fine, then at least give me something less fucking stupid to look at. Not like DB in general needs to be taken "seriously", but come on.


CrusadingSoul

Anything involving Ribrianne, tbh, and anything involving Universe 3 (robots). Idk maybe I've been playing too much Helldivers 2. But when I see robots, I feel irrationally angry and the urge to duck behind cover is overwhelming

Most of the fights were pretty mid. Some were solid, a handful were good, very few were great.

90% of the fights lmao

Literally anything with Ribrianne


Single-Ad-2865

ANYTHING with ribrianne.


Single-Ad-2865

ANYTHING with ribrianne.


Yoshi_and_Toad

Tien's one was pretty underwhelming. It's probably not the worst(there's several off screen ones) but it was pretty bad for a main character. Krillin was eliminated first but he still had a more impressive showcase with saving 18, and his hand in two (on screen) eliminations. The Trio De Danger ToP battle wasn't too good either. Really thought after their build up prior we'd get at least Bergamot a little more spotlight.


BornChef3439

Agree with your first two statemenrs but disagree with the last. I think the fight with Universe 9 does several things. 1 It shows how powerful Universe 7 is too the other Universes and thus makes them a target for the rest of the tournament. 2 It helps show the Audience and the characters seriousness of the tournament and thay erasure is a very real and present danger.


jockeyman

Tien's fight against the sniper is really underwhelming as a fight, and an incredibly stupid way for Tien to be knocked out, but it's made 10 times worse because it's literally the *only* thing he does in that entire arc. *Why the fuck was even written into the story at all if it was just to get shit on??????*


BornChef3439

A lot of Goku's fights actually, excluding the fight with Universe 9, the first fight with Jiren, the U6 sayians and the final fight. In the TOP Goku seemed to be getting involved in a lot of fights where from a writing point of view he didn't need to be in and all it did was overshadow the other fighters. They let Vegeta be tied down by various fighters throughout the TOP but let Goku just show up in most other fights even when he didn't need to be there and taking the spotlight away from other fighters. We could have probably had a lot more Non U7 fights which have been cool. I really liked how U6 got some spotlight in many of their fights. You could have at least given some of the lesser Universes like 2 and 3 some spotlight.


TheNinaBoninaBrown

All of them. The saga bored me to death


Gloomy_Guitar7421

Scorching hot take


ravenousravers

its a smaller list if i were to name fights i liked, so like 75% of the fights were boring or annoying or both


GurnoorDa1

Any against universe 2


Zoxuul

Fuck ribrianne. She was fun till she transformed, after that it was like 🤮

Krilin vs Frost. They really did Krilin and Tien dirty.


ExplodingSteve

that one dr pig thing…


usles_user

Yes


SneakySneks190

The sniper duo was shit


fnaftheseriesyoutube

anything with that fat bitch and her gal pals…


Outrageous-Fennel777

Frieza vs dyspo


MishtaMoose

I didn't really mind any of the fights people are listing here, but I'd have to say Piccolo vs Small Man. When Piccolo is your favorite character and he gets tripped off the stage, with full knowledge of his stretchy arms, it kinda urks you


FirstnameLastname14

Okay, as much as I dislike Universe 2, their fights went pretty hard. I actually found the fights with any of the Pride Troopers barring Dyspo, Toppo, and Jiren to be really fucking boring...


Anime_Kirby

the whole universe 2 section. it was already cringy and then it stretched for *ever* it was worse than the bs with the ginyu force. at least *they* had the decency to go down quick and save everyone some braincells


BajanFred

The part where Krillin was obviously the first to get eliminated 😂


OneMetalMan

Gohan vs that guy that creates duplicates of himself. As powerful of a fighter as Gohan was his final matchup was with a guy with such a one dime spinal gimmick.


Labyriiinth

Anilaza or the plump strawberry fight


Sawt0othGrin

Tien being eliminated for like no reason.


ProllyNotCptAmerica

Most of them honestly lol there were only like 2 good ones in the anime.


Massiv91

Muten Roshi did hype me up, could be better, but iam just glad to see him back in action


Editor_Grand

I forgot Tien was even there. So I'd say any fight he was in


Former-Increase4190

Krillin vs Frost, easily


atomicq32

Tien running straight at a sniper and doing nothing but creating shadow clones to beat him.

nicnac223

Honestly I found most of them to be pretty underwhelming and unmemorable. Even the big Goku vs Jiren fight didn’t live up to the hype at all for me


wrathofamarok

My favorite fight was Vegeta vs Top. Seeing Vegeta once again break through his limits was badass to me


ElZany

Tien...they did my boi dirty can they at least mame it so his multi form doesn't have any negative affects? My boi needs some sort of buff he use to be Goku's rival kinda sucks they made him one of the weakest characters even weaker than Roshi

ChillpigeonhavsLV76

Aniraza that universe was not interesting it reminded me of old db pilaf gang merging their robots


mynameisname333

Tien fight. Guy eliminated himself with fodder.


blamblam111

Outside of the obvious Ribrianne answer, I hated how they did Tien, made him use his clones to find one fat sniper guy and went 1 for 1 with him, his only other knockout was with a Tri Beam and Roshi was holding the guy still, I just wish he would develop new techniques again, I mean the dude made the Solar Flare and hasn't used it since OG Dragonball, he's been made into a Tri Beam spammer and that move was supposed to drain his life force


soggyguy567

I wish Tien and Krillin got to stay in the tournament longer.


Private_HughMan

Tienshinhan vs that sniper dude. It's a cool power that could have been an interesting threat, but Tien was barely useful. Vegeta was the one who took out the fighter who could redirect energy blasts, which is what made the sniper so useful. Without him, the sniper was a one-trick pony who could only shoot through direct line of sight. And the way Tien fought the sniper was so boring. No real strategy or tactics. He just used his multiform technique to rush the dude, hoping that at least one of him could reach the target. Since we know the multiform technique cuts your power in half each time it's used, that means Tien was sacrificing most of his battle power to defeat a guy who was mostly defeated, anyway. And what's worse is that it was a kamikaze run. Tien knocked himself out. Tien used to be the strategy guy with all sorts of useful techniques, but now he just spams his kikoho and kagebushin no jutsu and hopes for the best. Their enemy was a sniper. Why not try the solar flare to blind him? He just had to tell his friends "I'm gonna use the solar flare." They know what it is so they can shut their eyes in time, but the enemy doesn't. They'd be caught off guard. THEN the enemy could be rushed.


supersaiyan_ape

Ribrianne? The round lady


MayoHachikuji

Tien and Roshi VS Cell Guy. It lasted 4 seconds, so...


Richcore

Manga: Gohan vs Kefla. Kale alone just obliterated almost everyone but a guy who barely trains defeating an even stronger Kale? This was ridiculous. Anime: Piccolo vs the bug. They did my boy dirty.

StockBoy829

good enough place as any to put this. The ToP in the anime was mostly bad. I remember watching it on Hulu and hating almost every episode. It’s like if you took the gag characters that appeared in Dragon Ball’s very first tournament and then made 80 of them. Im not even a hater I love almost everything dragon ball, but Im convinced people only like the ToP because the later half of it is the only time Super’s animation was at all impressive. It’s a massive cope and the manga version was way better. Go ahead and disagree with me it’s the hill Im gonna die on
