Dragon Ball Super sometimes has problems, but I still try to enjoy it when that happens. But this time I can't help.

(this review will contain spoilers of course, + if you are just "casual" fan maybe you won't understand some of the expressions, example: SSJ=super saiyan...)

First off, episode starts with preview of itself? Emm, OK that was kinda cool, but why? They showed some cool parts to hype us I guess, but that also leads to disappointment later...example: in this preview we see (one of my favorite transformations) SSJ3, and when it actually happens in the episode it's in the end (last minute) and everything was already in the preview! =/

This would be kinda OK in other episodes (if done right), but not if episode is very bad, like this one...seriously, good things were mostly in the preview, and then executed very badly in actual episode.

So Caulifla wants to fight Goku, OK cool...Goku of course won't refuse because he is Goku, but otherwise he could just teleport away and rest (in any time of the fight). It's small problem/nitpick, but I think it was worth mentioning.

Caulifla goes right to SSJ2, no SSJ1 or base form, and fights. At first she is stronger (of course, because Goku is tired)...

And here we get some annoying (fake) tension/reactions from the audience. Krillin commenting like we don't understand what is happening, also making very big deal out of it. And there are also Beerus and Champa talking trash about the other and their teams and stuff like that. Usually I like their interaction, but in this case it was just too long, I was like "OK, we get it". I think they even repeated some of the stuff they already said. And I have one example that was just so stupid in my opinion: Champa saying something against Beerus, and Beerus saying "Nani?! (What did you say?!)" he already said much worst things in previous 15 episodes, so that was stupid/overreaction (even for him).

...so later Goku starts overcoming Caulifla in his base form, which is cool, but it kinda doesn't make sense (he is tired+in previous battle they were both fighting in SSJ2 forms). And then Whis (+I think Krillin/Roshi) comments "Goku is good fighter that's why he can do that..." oh man, yeah true, but not if your opponent is like many times stronger than you (fun fact: SSJ2 is supposed to be 100x multiplier of your speed and strength, but I know those are details...but still SSJ2 vs base)...all of that would be kinda fine/OK-ish if Caulifla wouldn't just become stronger/better in seconds. Sure, she is a good fighter, but it was executed so poorly (like everything about her and Kale).

Then later Goku transforms into ssj/2, and Kale also joins the fight, I will admit SSJ Goku vs 2 other SSJs kinda makes sense.

And in the end Goku transforms into SSJ3 like I said in beginning. Sure it's hard to animate that, but I would appreciate Goku punching Caulifla some moments after transforming (sending her into rocks behind). That would be something (not because I hate her, well that too a little bit XD, but just because it would be cool).

Maybe all those things sounded like overreacting, but it really was annoying/bad.

Other small things that were kinda bad: -Kale easily transforming into her controlled state, could be better executed. -Caulifla and Kale aren't that great of a characters, that's why I don't really like them (them obtaining those abilities and power, kinda like they don't deserve it). They are underdeveloped, that's also the problem. - Where are other fighters, come on just Caulifla, Goku, and Kale in this episode...(+in 114 preview, again just them) =/ -Also Krillin commenting "so this is the fight between two SSJ2s". Come on, this is stupid, SSJ1,2,3...are multipliers, they are not the same strength, more powerful the user more powerful is he with that form...example: Goku ssj2 is much stronger now than in DBZ. That's why line like "so this is the power of two SSJ2s" is stupid. -Goku turning into SSJ3 when he is tired is kinda stupid as a concept tbh (even though I love SSJ3, and I admit scene was cool).

Oh, well fight and animation overall wasn't bad imo, and there were some cool moments, but that's it.

That was long LOL, but seriously, right now this is probably my least favorite episode of DBS (sure there probably are worse, but not many).

ps. this is also my first review here, so forgive me if structure isn't that great.
