    Jiren was one of my favorite antagonists because he represents a side of Goku that he spent the entirety of Super overcoming. Goku had a goal of becoming the strongest, fighting the most powerful, and a lot of times he didn't care what had to happen for him to get stronger so long as he did it himself. He didn't like having to use the power of other people, even given willingly to fight Beerus in Battle of Gods. Goku realized throughout Super that this sort of behavior won't lead to strength because he lost every major fight in the series. And that isn't an exaggeration. Hit? Zamasu? Golden Frieza? Whenever he relied on his own strength he lost. Jiren is that side of Goku fully realized, and by the time he attains Ultra Instinct, Goku realizes that it's not a proper way to act.
    Jiren wasn't meant to be interesting on his own, more so to be a comparison to Goku.

    I like Jiren and his character because he's this nonchalant, chill character that only cares about justice. As we saw in the manga, Jiren didn't care about the ToP even when Toppo told him that the Universe could be erased, but when the Super Dragon Balls were brought into the picture, then he entered. This goes to show that Jiren didn't care that the Universe could be erased, he just wanted to serve Justice. Also another reason is that it's not everyday where you see a mortal who is stronger than a GoD without training with any angels or has god Ki. Jiren attained his power soley for the purpose that strength is everything, he wanted the power so that if one day the monster that killed his parents comes back, he will be able to kill the monster. Jiren never trained/sparred with anyone and had power greater than a God of Destruction, that should be impossible, but Jirens whole character is labeled around impossible. Took on hits time skip like it was nothing, 1v2'ed Goku and Vegeta even when Vegeta had his new form, and unlocked even more power at the end. Jiren is by far THE most interesting character in DB history and they definitely bring him in the next anime.

      @@salvulcano1136 I don't think Justice is necessarily what he's after, considering everything he's done. He doesn't fight every battle he can, only the one's where they really need him but if he fought more battles he could easily lessen casualties and damages but I'm sure that's because this is a kids show and they don't care about that. Furthermore you can't tell me Justice is his character when all he talks about is power and strength. Jirens true character is about power, all he cares about is being the strongest because "Strength is all that matters" as he said. Your line about Jiren caring about justice I think is just wrong, that's toppos character. Jiren is all about strength, I mean he called Gokus friends meaningless and tried to kill them so do you really think this is a man who lives by "Justice"? Or does he live by strength and power?

    I liked Jiren as a character because it is clear that he was made to be a counterpart and opposite to Goku. While Goku seeks to become strong and achieves it by interacting with different fighters, getting to know them through fighting and even changing them, making them reconsider to make them better versions of themselves until they become his friends and allies (even Frieza changed not in person but in his interest in start training to unleash his hidden power which he never gave importance to), Jiren is the opposite: someone who became strong on his own without wanting to establish connections or be interested in others, not even his comrades like Toppo and the rest of the Pride Troopers

It would be interesting to see what kind of villains and rivals he clashed with in his respective universe as well as the training he went through to gain that much strength. If handled right, it could do wonders for his overall character and leave fans wanting him back in the series again for future threats.

  • @Kinra_Jade
    @Kinra_Jade 2 роки тому +30

    Many points to why i like Jiren since before and after the end of the show:
    - to hide his weakness, he gathered strength to the unreasonable point. He was motivated by trauma which i can relate to. It is not easy to overcome.
    - he's simple: no transformation, no known biology power-up, no last minute power-up skill, no power of friendship. Just him and the raw power he gathered by himself.
    - being an opposite of Goku's strength ideology without being a villain.
    - although he's innerly a loner, he can be of help to others and work with them.
    - no one *triumphed over* him in a 1v1 matchup. Both in manga and anime, the main characters had to team up to defeat him, thus firmly standing his strength. I do not, personally, count MUI Goku's win for two reasons:
    * TOP's rule on how to eliminate others and
    * although he did beat Jiren in a physical aspect, this one wasn't yet out of juice and his weakened mind made him lose the will to fight. My point is: an opponent is *triumphed on* when, fighting hard both mentally and physically, they still got outclassed and lost. You could argue, following my point, that Goku did triumph in the anime but his victory was cut short by MUI's drawback and he couldn't go all the way to eliminate Jiren by himself in the end.
    Just because the execution was poor doesn't mean the character is any less valuable once you get to know the details about them.

Marcarita's comments in Episode 111 stating that he's in a different league after seeing his performance, after only recently seeing Jiren for the first time and being filled in by Belmod as to who Jiren was. Vados in the same episode stating that he was like no other. The fact that in the original airing of the special, the Grand Priest had to put up a barrier to protect the Grand Zeno's. The angels and GoD's in episode 130 being in shock after Jiren was able to down UI Goku. In episode 131, he continued to be just as agile and nimble as he was in his previous fight. He shook an infinite reality, broke out of Hit's Time Cage, fought 17, Goku, Frieza, and Vegeta in a 4-on-1, shielded the Pride Troopers from Aniraza's shockwaves, was able to jump higher than the T.O.P. pillar in an instant after recognizing Goku had set up bombs to exploit an opening and was able to propel himself back up to the T.O.P. arena stage by jumping on tiny pebbles that were heading downward, launched an infinite amount of punches in a mere second, and all whilst not exuding a fraction of his true power. When he was exuding his Full Power, the entire T.O.P. arena was engulfed in fiery ki. When he was at Super Full Power, the entire World of Void was set ablaze, and his power was able to nullify UI dodging. Super Full Power seemed like Jiren's infinite potential was realized and brought to the surface and he continued to grow in strength to meet the challenge, resisting all the way up until the end. And when the glass shattered in episode 131, it was like his mind was freed from trauma, and he could fight with mind, body, and soul at once. Jiren's Super Full Power felt like the amalgamation of his pursuit of just and virtuous strength

Rather than face that again, even if he knows he'll win, he'll rather keep training & getting stronger, forever.

    I believe Whole heartedly that if Jiren came back hed be stronger than Goku is. Remember he got that strong on his own with some flaws, such as not trusting anyone or not really caring for others long as he strong enough to do what needs to be done. After that tournament Jiren was a changed alien. Goku helped him grow as a character. And now that hes more open minded and more apathetic towards others and other things and also the most important Trust. He now sees that the trust of a powerful freindship can help you. And with that growth hes bound to become stronger being open to other training methods, maybe even tryna learn UI, or something close to combat UI like he was. Idk i hope he comes back.

      u mean back when he fought ssb in ressurection F?? the golden freeza transformation...
      hmm. yeah it was a epic asspull. to bring freeza back and be relevant in power to dbs goku. i aint denying that shit. freeza could just go upto ssb but he trained and it was said he was a fighting prodigy tho. never trained before in his life. so they at least tried to give a decent logical lore. then he also had a deep lore built around him. before that. in dbz. so it makes sense in a way. his own strength being able to catch up. he was born with such a high power level.... kinda like the legendary ssj of his race. even his original final form in dbz was close to super saiyan goku. so thats pretty badass for someone at that point in db. at that time he was the strongest being in the db universe. to be fair many charas since freeza already proved to be able to fight ssb by this point in the series. my fav being Hit. but ya god ki became fooderized dbs shitty writting. ya god ki isnt as special as it once was and can be opposed by mortals and with no special deity training as well. amazing... wtf!! sad but whatever. it is what it is.
      also freeza and his dad are special powerful mutations of their race or someshit. they are the only ones of their species we ever seen in dbz/dbs. they are special lolz. a rare race that we dont really know much about sadly. pretty much the most powerful species in dragonball upto that time. they ruled galaxy and shit. all im saying is freeza makes at least a bit more sense for his power overall compared to jiren.
      nothing special about jiren tho. so him being dominate over ssb and god isnt that shocking to see. and its like anyone could have attained his level power with the same trauma bs he had and dedication to power...
      seriously vegeta should have been at that level then. they got same ego and pride. and vegeta suffered way more brutal shit in his life!! and vegeta is always into training and shit as well. so yea its lame. come on mortal ki fighting on par with MUI is just too much bullshit to drink in!! just to hype this mortal who is beyond GOD. its bad enough he was keepin up with omen UI. especially if you followed the hype Whis was building that upto to be since ressurection F. form which no G.O.D. even could master. it was very much made to be the highest anyone could go in dragonball lore since dbs. so jirens asspulls in TOP ruined it for me by the end... i was a fan of the gray. but then i lost the hype. :(
      and it paved the way for MUI to be fodderized in going lores. such a pity to see. just like god ki. but with UI they really just fucked up bringing in UI/MUI too early in the series. should have saved it for the grand finale of dragonball. and i gotta just stop replying to these. way too many of my comments. lmao. but boredom. hope we get more dbs super hero n gohan news soon... :D

  • @benjaminjenkins394
    @benjaminjenkins394 2 роки тому +5

    Honestly my favorite character in all of Dragon Ball. 🤷🏾‍♂️ His backstory didn’t need to be overly complicated…the fact that it was as simple it was made him that more compelling to me. His friends, family, and master died so his goals and ambitions made sense. We all have been there as people, feeling letdown by others and feeling as if the only way to fix things is by doing it your fucking self. He is exteriorly one of the toughest opponents Goku and Vegeta have faced but he was also internally one of the weakest…what makes Jiren so tragic is that he hated himself, he hated the fact that he thinks he let his master and everyone else killed. Great vid and I hope people can let go of the “complex for complexity sake” way of thinking…buddy just wanted to protect people with power and power only and that “pride” was ultimately his downfall…that’s it, that’s all you need. Also, Manga Jiren is substantially a better iteration of his character but the anime version was still decent.
    Also, his music fucking slaps 🔥

  • @kilam4evur927

    6:41 Precisely, he didn't want to be strong for the sake of being strong. He wanted to be strong, so that he could use his strength to protect other people, trained himself to travel across planets in mere moments so that other people would never experience a lack of justice like he did.
    He honed his senses, understood that the best means of defense was to guard, can almost instantaneously deduce and respond to incoming threats, and fights honestly with no tricks and doesn't exploit openings.
    He has personality, but in order to be a peak fighter in combat, every moment must be treated as though there is danger, and that is true. You are never safe. So he must be reserved, vigilant, aware of his surroundings.
    Goku was wrong saying that you can trust people and for what he did. People who say that are using their friends, or peers for this or that reason. You become dependent on people, and you allow yourself to become open and lax. He constantly uses his friends, when it's convenient for him, and then forgets about them if they're not strong. Jiren wasn't trying to convince Goku that he was right. He was right. But, he had someone who was trying to convince him of that and make him question what he knew was reality and if you're in that situation where you know you're right, and someone with no experience is trying to change your perception when they don't even know themselves, you would obviously be pressed. Not to mention, this guy is also forcing you into this fight out of pure selfishness, and your whole universe and everyone you've known and whose peace you've tried to protect is on the verge of being deleted forever by an unstoppable force. Jiren approached his life correctly and dedicated his life to protecting other's peace. He took lessons from his life, used his head, and learned from them. It's why he'll always be my favorite and most respected character

    Jiren has a good foundation, but he needs a lot more character outlining and development before I can truly call him a good character. I feel like people like Jiren practically for the same reasons people liked original Broly, just because he wields power that can easily dominate the perceived peak of power we have grown accustomed to in the series thus far. It makes for good visuals and the primal satisfaction to just see numbers go up, but it's incredibly shallow and hollow once you look past that. What makes DBS Broly so much better than original Broly is that he is more than just muscles upon muscles, and Jiren needs that same kind of non-cliche character depth the next time we see him.

    Jiren became one of my favorite characters in DB the moment they first introduced him. Yeah his backstory is very "plain" and "basic" but they did rush the ToP arc numerous times throughout and his backstory they definitely could've polished a lil bit more given the fact. Nonetheless, he didn't/doesn't need some unique, extravagant backstory. I am interested and hope they dive back into his backstory again at some point and actually give us more insight on how he crossed paths with the Pride Troopers, how and why he joined etc. That would definitely be interesting. I hope we do see him again because I do believe he picked right back up where he left off in terms of training after the ToP and since Goku needed MUI to actually give himself a real chance of beating him, I am curious to see how their rematch would pan out given he is one of the top 3-5 strongest characters in the DB universe in the current timeline of the Granolah arc in the manga.
