Pride Before The Fall
Seeing Vegeta's body break, even though his will to fight remained unbroken, really was emotional for a lot of fans.
Big Goodbyes
There were indeed some other milestones at work in this episode, as voice actress Hiromi Tsuru left Bulma behind. Aya Hisakawa will take over the role, in whatever comes next for the series.
Saiyan Pride
Vegeta may have lost, but thanks to the latter half of the Tournament of Power, Vegeta has become a big winner in the eyes of the fandom. His defeat at the hands of Jiren may ironically turn out to be one of his most celebrated moments in the entire series!
♂
Vegeta is officially a sex symbol, ya'll. That #ShirtlessVegeta heat is raging strong!
Sensitive Saiyan
Other fans were heartstruck from seeing this rare level of emotion from Vegeta. Remember when this guy came to Earth to maim and kill way back in that first season of Dragon Ball Z?
The Marvel Connection
This is fan might've enjoyed Marvel's Black Panther - but Dragon Ball was clearly never far from his mind while watching it. Vegeta = icon.
Goku Hate
This pretty much speaks for the sector of the fandom that is disappointed in how the Tournament of Power has played out. Too predictable with its Goku UI vs Jiren finale - even though the final battle looks to be really awesome.
Remember the Titan
