Hello and welcome back all my dragon ball theorist and there has been many complaints
about Jiren and his personality in the community.
It has been said by many that he is a boring character everything from his design to mainly
his personality is just completely bland.
If we are going to have this crazy strong fighter then why make him this dull, unemotional
character?
Well the complaints have been heard and on the surface I do understand.
Everyone from the special on was hoping that Jiren would open up and start talking or even
hinting at some type of personality whether it screams Justice, Love or any simple desire
it would of been cool.
Except for the most part we got nothing, or did we...
I know Jiren isn't outspoken or appears to be complex but that is all of course about
to change and there have been many hints at this in the show for people that think he
is lacking in the interesting personality department.
Jiren on the surface is just this stoic character that shows no emotion but also accepts whatever
is about to happen.
For me though the lack of emotion is what is interesting because I am trying to figure
out what actually is making him tick.
What are his hidden desires and do they ever go against his core beliefs.
Of course in the recent Manga chapter they did show a brief conversation of Jiren and
his ultimate belief in Justice that we already knew being a pride trooper.
Except he didn't want to join initially and Belmod needed to use the Dragon Balls as bait
which of course sets up this instance of Toppo standing over Jiren in the special telling
him to fight to his content to attain the Super Dragon Balls.
You see Jiren isn't there to fight to prevent his Universe from being erased if it meant
others must be erased.
He was fine with letting the cards fall and be delt the hand of being erased while continuing
on protecting until that day happens.
However Jiren is there at the tournament for the Super Dragon Balls which is his number
one goal.
Don't let his meditation and lack of words fool you there is more to Jiren then has been
shown.
Another thing about his meditation which was the talk of the tournament and the grand priest
found daring and many fans thought wow this guy is kinda a prick and making a mistake
letting Goku stay in there.
Well if we look at what Jiren is actually doing then it wasn't a mistake but planned.
Jiren isn't regaining his stamina from his fights or needs this meditation to charge
up his power.
He is doing a form of meditative practice called Zazen which in short means Jiren is
letting his mind go to think about the past, present and future at the same time.
He is thinking about every possibility that could occur while being present right there
on the stage.
Not bad for a being that does in fact have power to transcend time.
Jiren has very complex undertones and while they haven't come out yet into this complex
dialog.
It will happen very soon.
Jiren isn't just this beyond powerful obstacle Goku has to overcome.
He is this new character that has only shown us the tip of the iceberg and isn't going
anywhere anytime soon.
For me even the short dialog was fine with Goku saying Saiyans are quite interesting
beings but this heat this is your limit.
Then in the Hit fight to call his Assassin's pride rubbish when he transcended time of
course was an exclamation mark!
Jiren has some complex ideologies and they will show through more and more as this tournament
gets down to the final fighters.
Remember Jiren isn't just waiting or making a mistake as many think but actually preparing
for every possible scenario that could happen right in front of everyone.
It is also why he can remain for the most part stoic in nature and just execute with
great precision when he has too.
In a way Jiren is flawless in his methods and while that does come across as boring
to some now when Jiren gets into fighting the last fighters on the stage the dialog
then will start to change.
Jiren's beliefs and reason he has to execute them to attain the Super Dragon Balls will
start to show through.
We will learn why Jiren can't be thought of in the practical sense.
Why he is a being of little words and why his sole purpose at the tournament is the
Super Dragon Balls.
For me at least I think this is all very interesting stuff.
So if you don't like Jiren now and find him boring give it some time and I think when
we go back and watch this entire Arc the build up for Jiren and what we are about to learn
from him will be all worth it and play through much better then waiting in real time.
Now I want to know what you guys think is Jiren some bad writing or is the best yet
to come and this character will end up being far more complex and interesting than originally
believed?
