(Warning: Terrible grammar and spelling.  I was drunk off three shots of Jim Beam and drank like two 32 oz. cans of cheap Miller beer. You’ve been warned.  Originally written on March 2^nd, 2018.)

Assuming that there won’t be a final ED for Super’s finale, ONEPIXCEL’s Lagrima as the final ED is a poor choice.  Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a bad song for what it is (and the women performing the song are pretty cute).  I find myself bobbing my head in sync with the beat of the song even. Still,  it’s doesn’t carry the emotional weight of 70cm Square Window.  Why do I think it carries more weight than Lagrima?  Well, hear me out.

Once we get past Adult Goku riding on the Flying Nimbus (or the Kinto’un for you fucking Japanese sub purist weeaboos), there’s a shot of Kid Goku alone starting far into the distance.  Following that, the ending animation transition to  Kid Goku’s running animation cycle featuring the OG Dragon Ball characters in the background (Bulma, Pura, Oolong, Yamcha, Krillin, Tien, Muten Roshi, and Goku’s late beloved grandpa, Gohan).  Next, Goku grows into his current self, riding back on the Flying Nimbus while images of the Team Universe 7 crew scroll along.  Finally, that shit ends with Goku running next to images of Beerus, the Zeno Kings, Grand Preist, Hit, and Jiren – the important characters of DB Super.

The animation of 70cm Square Window shows Goku’s growth from classic Dragon Ball, Z, and Super (sorry DBGT stans ya don’t get shit).  Goku went form a curious, humble country boy traveling the world for stronger people to fight and train with,  to a man who could destroy an entire universe with ease.  Just imagine, you finish watching the final episode of Super, this song plays, and you watch Goku’s progression within this ED.  You watch this man improve and better himself – becoming this unstoppable warrior. Imagine that shit man.  How the fuck can Lagrima could ever compare?

Fuck, let’s check the  best lyrics of the song:

‘I was always thinking of you
The reality that squeezes my heart
I was always longing to see you
And I’ll continue to forge ahead with that memory…”

Let’s imagine that none of the universe or any warrior that died will be brought back (they will cuz it’s Dragon Ball Super and Super is fuckin predictable as fuck) after the Tournament.   Do you know how those lines could fit well with say 18 remembering her brother or Vegeta remembering Cabba and the Saiyans of Universe 7 and how they will have to continue on living without them?  I want you to imagine 18’s and Vegeta’s sadness as those lyrics play.

Wouldn’t that shit be perfect?

Real shit tho, I’m drunk as hell and none of this will lever happen cuz Toei Animation don’t get deep with Dragon Ball like that.   Hope you enjoyed this durenk rant I will do more in the future when I have nothing better to do on a Friday night or something.

Afterword:
Alcohol doesn’t make you a better writer.  It only makes you an alcoholic writer and increases your alcohol dependency.
