Dragon Ball Super Episode 41

Thats no child!

Thats the Omni-King, the supreme ruler of all twelve universes!

This episode also has a lot of fun with Gokus trademark dimwitted nature.

Zeno is such a figure of reverence that even the Gods of Destruction are in complete subservience mode.

They dont want to take any risk in possibly pissing this guy off.

He even jokes about replacing them and finding new Gods of Destruction.

Its a refreshing level of honesty that Zeno must not be used to seeing very often.

Hes also gold, so youknowthat this dragon is super powerful.

Beerus happens to get away with some massive deception here.

That summon sequence for Super Shenron is also pretty absurd stuff.

The gang collectively get absorbed by Super Shenron only to then encounteranotherSuper Shenron at his core.

All the while, a whole bunch of planet eating goes on.

The final moments of this episode may not be that important, but theyre certainly a lot of fun.

They allow the show and these characters to properly decompress after the gauntlet that theyve just gone through.

The highlight from all of this though is the glimpse into Monakas real identity and everyday life.

Hes apparently a postman on Beerus planet with humble aspirations of one day being a fighter.

That truth makes Monakas win in the tournament all the more poetic.

Plus, some gratuitous riches arent a bad break either.

Heavier stuff is on its way, but in the meantime just enjoy the comically pleasant detour.

Oh, and Buu finally wakes up!
