Jiren

""Strength is absolute! All is meaningless without victory. To be defeated is to lose everything.""

- ”CHADren in "The Greatest Showdown of all Time!"

Jiren (ã‚¸ãƒ¬ãƒ³ ' Jiren' ), also known as Jiren The Gray ( ' Haiiro no Jiren') or CHADren, is the strongest mortal in the multiverse and the incarnation of Strength. He is known as the Invincible Strongest of the Strong, the Strongest in all the Universes, the Mortal who surpasses the Gods of Destruction, the Alpha of Awe, the Brute of Brawn, the Cultivator of Class, the Duke of Domination, the Emperor of Eloquence, the Fiercest of Fighters, the Greatest of Glory, the Height of Heroism, the Imperator of Intellectualism, the Jarl of Justice, the King of Knights, the Lord of Loquaciousness, the Master of Mortality, the Naysayer of Noobs, the Overlord of Obituaries, the Prince of Passion, the Que-hagen of Quixote, the Ruler of Ruination, the Sultan of Smite, the Taskmaster of Trembles,the Undertaker of Ubiquity,the Vaeyen of Vociferousness, the Warranter of Weaklings, the Xenophobe of Xenogeny, the Yardmaster of Yesteryear, the Zhar of Zoroastrianism, the Apex Predator of the Multiverse, GRIPren the CRUSHING, INSURMOUNTABLEren the UNSURPASSABLE, INDOMITABLEren the UNYIELDING, DIAMONDren the TANK,MAELSTROMren the TITANIC, COLOSSUSren the LEVIATHAN, MONSTERren the TERRIFYING, PHYSICALLYIMPOSINGren the INTIMIDATING, AESTHETICren the BEAUTIFUL, CRIMSONren the LEGEND, and many other names.

His ultimate desire is attaining "that which lies beyond strength". For that reason he has dedicated his life to the relentless cultivation of inner strength. An extraordinarily powerful being, Jiren has far surpassed the Gods of Destruction in power, something considered impossible, and reached the level of Angels, the highest lifeforms in all of existence. He is a member of the Pride Troopers and serves as their secret ace member. He is the greatest hero of Universe 11 who will never be defeated. He served as the main fighting antagonist in the Universe Survival Arc and as a major contestant in the Tournament of Power. He is most famous for defeating Goku in battle, even after the latter achieved and mastered the legendary Ultra Instinct - An Angel-tier power-up. Since his appearance, there has been no antagonist stronger than him, completely defying the "new antagonist is always stronger than the previous one" conventions of Dragon Ball.

Role in /dbs/
Throughout his appearance in the Tournament of Power, Jiren has managed to capture the hearts of many denizens of the CHADS DEN known as /dbs/. His unfathomable power and relentless crushing of protagonist asspulls - all without tricks, biological advantages, transformations, magic and other gimmicks - has made him the most admirable character in all of Dragon Ball in the eyes of many. Because of this, he has gathered a large fanbase, rivaled in size perhaps only by Gokufags, collectively known as the Jirenscholars, or Jirenchads. The Jirenscholars generally aim to spread the gospel of CHADren, his philosophy and way of life, for the betterment of humanity as a whole. This is sometimes known as the Grayy Church.

By congregating their collective above-average IQs into one line of posting, the Jirenscholars have successfully dwarfed every other characterfagging prior to them, and effectively become the strongest and most predominant characterfags the entire site has ever seen. Their "competition", if you can even call it that, has been thwarted and stomped into submission in ways never even thought possible. With the most clever and eloquent pastas ever seen, they slowly but surely drove the Anti-Jiren jihadists and Pedros MAD with anger and frustration. Since their constant streak of victories ensuing in every thread for months on end, the Anti-Jiren jihadists have tried: Crying to the mods, posting autistic ISIS edits, editing Jiren's pictures to make him shorter, making petty threads only to get archived or deleted to get away from Chadren threads, spamming literal faggot porn, /v/ spam, /toy/ spam, cardposting, blatantly lying and posting nonsense, out of context baiting, RTHing, textless waifushit spam to image limit more than once, inane spam about Jiren being fat, and the list goes on. Needless to say, nothing worked. It surely doesn't help their cause either that official media constantly treats and announces Jiren as the strongest mortal in the DB universe.

Through mindbreaking their opponents so hard that they think about nothing but Jiren all day, the Jirenscholars have ensued that Jiren is ALWAYS talked about, even when Jirenscholars themselves are not present in the threads. Because of this permeating influence over the threads, Jiren has officially come to be known as the HEART and SOUL of /dbs/.

Jirenscholars have varying relationships with other characterfags. They are neutral towards Vegetafags, Buufags and Gohanfags. Some have even gone as far as proclaiming these factions are allied, however others insist that they are not. Meanwhile, Jirencholars are the enemies of Tardkutacos, Lizardkeks, and Cuteshitters. However by far their most famous enemy are the Brolyfags. The "Jiren vs Broly war" was a characterfagging conflict that took place roughly between late 2018 and late 2019. These two factions would continually battle non-stop over which character was stronger, with Jirenscholars quickly gaining the upper hand both due to having much stronger evidence on their side (in particular an image collage of evidence that came to be known as "the irrefutable pic" due to Brolyfags' failure to refute it for literal years) and being generally superior debaters. After losing legitimate debates, Brolyfags resorted to memes and shitposting, but even here Jirenscholars displayed vastly superior talents and creativity. Indeed, Brolyfags became so desperate that they resorted to simply parroting the witty banter of the Jirenscholars, which only got them mocked harder. It was due to this savage stomping that FOAZ was created. Perhaps it is due to their dominant performance in this conflict that more and more people decided to become Jirenscholars, which only increased their dominance in the threads. Historians now unanimously agree that Jirenscholars have decisively won this conflict, and virtually exterminated Brolyfags as a faction, with the vast majority of them either disappearing or hopping onto other characters like Moro.

Jirenscholars are responsible for the creation of, by far, the most /dbs/ memes and linguistics. They virtually shaped the entire way modern /dbs/ debates are conducted and can thus be considered the godfathers of scholarly /dbs/ conduct in itself, although the preceding groundwork by people like Gohanfags and the dogposter must also be respected. Jirenscholars are also one of the most prominent Thread Wardens in all of /dbs/, always ensuring that moeshit, off-topic garbage, and headcanon is suppressed.

Characteristics
Jiren is a very tall humanoid with an extremely muscular and aesthetically well-defined build. He has a large, sleek head similar in shape similar to the folkloric aliens known as the Greys (ayys). His legs are also as big as a tree trunk, which is probably a race trait. He has gray skin, big round black-hole (fitting for his power) eyes with enlarged pupils and dark grey sclera, flat round ears, and a barely visible flat nose. Jiren wears the uniform of the Pride Troopers, consisting of a red, spandex suit with black sections around the collar and legs, white gloves, and white boots. K,b.

Power
Jiren is one of the most puissant warriors in the multiverse, and considered the most absolute and superlative among all mortals. While starting off impotent as a child and through much of his adolescence, his arduous pursuit for power led him to become the most vigorous mortal warrior of Macrocosm XI and since joining the Pride Troopers, Jiren had never lost a battle. EVER. His might far surpasses Toppo, a God of Destruction candidate whose training can wield verbally expressed power for adscititious might. Furthermore, he was the pristine cull to be the next Macrocosm XI Destroyer, but turned it down. Despite possessing no godly ki, Jiren has already surpassed the domain of a Deity of Ravagement, as Belmod, cannot beat him, which made him famous in other macrocosms as the only mortal a Deity of Eradication can not subjugate. In the manga, Whis noted that Jiren's potential is literally unquantifiable (more than Gohan and Broly), as he exhibited a remarkable magnification rate as the more he struggles, the more he habituates and grows. His raw celerity is even shown to exceed that of his ally Dyspo. Jiren was appointed as unvanquishable by his allies and the conception of someone facing him equally was considered absurd, as until his final fight against Goku in the tournament, Jiren had never encountered another warrior who could press him since he surpassed Belmod. Overall, his multiversal-class might is made all the more impressive by the fact that the near-entirety of it was autodidactic. In the CHADnime, despite his inundating might, Jiren's fighting style is mostly defensive as Jiren will serenely let his opponent show their hand, relucting to strike back until either required to or until the opponent shows enough vigor to compete against him, and even then, uses no more vigor than compulsory. Offensively, his assailment methods are fundamental but efficient, expeditiously decimating the foe with sheer force. Jiren has profoundly advanced kineticism analysis, as when the Deities of Eradication opted to culminate fine-tuning the ring more expeditious, Jiren did not bother to dodge the high-speed kineticism of Katchi Katchin, as he expeditiously determined that they would not strike him - whereas everyone else opted to dodge. Whilst facing a heavily subdued, restrained Jiren, Goku enounces that he had never before experienced an attack of the magnitude of Jiren's plain and elementary punches, whereas Vegeta likewise asseverates that he has never experienced a Ki of such enormity. Jiren further proves that his might exceeds even abstract physical concepts when he moves in frozen time through the sheer extent of his impetus. As such, it must be acknowledged that Jiren can bend the laws of physics and reality itself to his will. Throughout the Amphitheatre of Dominance, he has displayed unparalleled competence in the martial arts. He proved completely unshaken by the besieging of Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan, and even Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Kaioken x20, strikes, despite these being substantiated a myriad of times to be in the domain of the Annihilation Divinities. He demonstrated further that he is capable of fending off two of such beings simultaneously while suppressing his full might. Consequently, it is evident that even a subdued Jiren, far from his maximum potency, is able to demolish multiple Extinction Demiurges at once. Once his unfathomable full might is unleashed, these very foes (who are at the level of Obliteration Daemons) prove to be mere ants beneath his feet, scarcely worthy of even the exercise of his motor abilities. Indeed, the mere discharge of his aura is sufficient to overwhelm them completely, demonstrating that Jiren does not simply surpass them, but in fact cannot even be considered to be in the same realm of capacity as a mere Destroyer. But beyond all of this, his most monumental feat is surpassing the illustrious Ultra Instinct with nothing but strength. Ultra Instinct, also known as the state of the gods (kami no ryÅiki) and the limit breaking power of the gods (, genkai o koeta kami no chikara) is the source of power for all Angels (meaning that any user of it is in the same domain of potency as Angels), as well as an assured, automatic evasion mechanism for its user, which even the Angels, the highest beings in all of existence, firmly believe to be completely invincible. In its emergence, it proves capable of effortlessly dispatching Jiren, despite his Detroyer-vanquishing might. However, soon after, Jiren shatters and surpasses his own mortal limitations through sheer force of will, to reach the same domain of potency. This limit-breaking Jiren, known as the Burning Ultimate Warrior (ç†±ãç©¶æ¥µæˆ¦å£« Atsuki KyÅ«kyoku Senshi), not only proved capable of overpowering these Angel powers, which can generate entire Ki Galaxies, but also surpassing its evasion capabilities through the pure application of his velocity and dexterity. Since Jiren has proven to exceed the comprehension of Angels, as well as defeat the Angel-level metamorphosis that is Ultra Instinct, Jiren is, without uncertainty and doubt, at the level of Angels, if not above.

He is the strongest. End of discussion. It's over.

Design
Where to begin? Perhaps we should start with Jiren's design. On the surface, it appears very simplistic and possibly even generic, a passÃ© take on the popular conception of what extraterrestrials may look like. This, of course, is the outlook of those less learned and knowledgeable of Dragon Ball: to create powerful characters with simplistic and and basic designs is Toriyama's hallmark, and, upon closer scrutiny, Jiren's rather unremarkable design perfectly reflects his character: a simple warrior with but one goal--to achieve ultimate strength. He isn't interested in recognition and fanfare; he has no time for flashy transformations and techniques that merely imitate growth. No, it is his personal desire to FACILITATE growth: spiritual growth, physical growth, and intellectual growth. A rather straightforward and simple goal, much like his overall design. Those with genre savvy or a sharp enough intellect could immediately glean various aspects of Jiren's character simply by laying eyes on him.

Too, his color scheme reflects his inner virtues: crimson, symbolizing his passion for and unwavering belief in attaining his goals (and sharing its color with his aura) and black, obviously symbolizing the bottomless void and never-ending journey of bettering oneself--a journey that never truly ends. Even his gray skin--far from simply being a ripoff of the grays that were so popular in the 50s--symbolizes his ultimate neutrality, being itself a neutral color. He's not interested in fame, fortune, conquering, or dominating: like gray symbolizes, Jiren seeks only to achieve his goals without the burden of interpersonal ties or outside distractions.



Now, on to the meat of this fascinating character. At first glance, Jiren seems standoffish, stoic, and perhaps unfriendly and selfish. Upon the revelation of his backstory, we learn that his master and family were killed by a villain that Jiren was powerless to stop. His master--the man who instilled within Jiren his passion for and love of martial arts and the cultivation of pure, inner strength--was taken from him by an evildoer, and in that moment Jiren realized two things. One: Caring about ANYTHING is meaningless without wielding the requisite might to protect it, and two: Living a life unfettered by close emotional ties serves to protect one from pain and minimizes distractions that seeks to deter one in their quest for personal growth.

In layman's terms: Jiren is heavily afflicted with PTSD. His trauma, while it doesn't fully control him, certainly plays a part in his overall nature and how he holds himself. He has formed a group of do-gooders with like-minded individuals, but he isn't close to any of them, nor is he close to any of those he saves beyond the usual "hero-victim" relationship. What appears to be a simple rude and standoffish character is eventually revealed to be yet another aspect of his complex and dual nature--Jiren WANTS to be free from the burden of the past, he WANTS to blindly place faith and trust in his friends and make that a part of his power as Goku does, but he can't. He simply cannot. And this is why he's so angered by the Saiyan's mere presence, as well as the reason behind his attack on the stands upon realizing he was losing their battle. Jiren wasn't lashing out at Goku's friends: he was lashing out at his own insecurities, trying to destroy his past demons in the only way he knows how--by brandishing the immense strength that was, ironically, cultivated as a result of those same demons.

Enter CHADren


"What the FUCK??? I'm not joking my ENTIRE FUCKING HOUSE just BLEW the FUCK up! What is going on??? Please, I need an explanation!!" - The regular person's reaction to CHADren entering the thread

Among his many eminent memetic character traits, none is more paramount than Enter CHADren - his ability to spontaneously appear in any thread. This emergence is known to come with the responses of several awe-inspired users. Even more astonishing is the scientifically proven ability of his image to create powerful shockwaves that literally cause the viewers monitor - sometimes even his entire room - to shake forcefully. Since Jiren is known to be powerful enough to create space-time quakes that spread throughout the entirety of the infinitely large World of Void, scientists and philosophers have hypothesized that Jiren in fact is so powerful that he can literally transcend the realm of fiction and reach our reality with these shockwaves. Jiren's appearance is commonly accompanied with the catch-phrase "Enter CHADren". However, the full chant goes as follows:

The Alpha of Awe. The Brute of Brawn. The Cultivator of Class. The Duke of Domination. The Emperor of Eloquence. The Fiercest of Fighters. The Greatest of Glory. The Height of Heroism. The Imperator of Intellectualism. The Jarl of Justice. The King of Knights. The Lord of Loquaciousness. The Master of Mortality. The Naysayer of Noobs. The Overlord of Obituaries. The Prince of Passion. The Que-hagen of Quixote. The Ruler of Ruination. The Sultan of Smite. The Taskmaster of Trembles. The Undertaker of Ubiquity. The Vaeyen of Vociferousness. The Warranter of Weaklings. The Xenophobe of Xenogeny. The Yardmaster of Yesteryear. The Zhar of Zoroastrianism.

Holy Text of CHADren
''No one will ever replicate what Chadren did. He was literally an unstoppable force and immovable object. He was pure, absolute strength. Every technique, every trick and gimmick, every asspull, he was unfazed by. A spirit bomb by SSBKK Goku was easily repelled. Frozen in time? Who cares, he's like, stronger than time. Goku finally asspulls Ultra Instinct, and it does fucking nothing against a barely-even-trying Jiren. Unlocking new power doesn't help, fighting smart doesn't help, he facetanks beams, he beats people up by just looking at them. They unlock new powers, they team up to fight him together, it doesn't fucking matter. Nothing they do can reach his might. No antagonist has ever felt this far above what the protagonists could muster. He was truly a juggernaught. And Broly? This pencil-necked, bitch mowgli looking fucker gets manhandled by base Vegeta. YAMETE BEJITA-SAMA YOU'RE HURTING MY HANDS! Jesus fucking christ. Oh, but he grows stronger while fighting! That makes it okay. Oh wait, he STILL gets blown the fuck out, shitstomped by Gogeta to the point he has to get RESCUED by his bitch, trembling with FEAR.''

"&gt;born a simple and innocent ayy without impressive power

&gt;not a mighty prodigy like Frieza

&gt;no crazy saiyan genes for free powerups

&gt;no magic gimmick abilities

&gt;no transformations

&gt;with pure and simple strength, speed, and skill, this man became the most powerful mortal in the entire multiverse

&gt;faces asspull after asspull, to the point his opponent is literally gifted the "limit breaking form of the gods" and an auto-dodge skill even gods of destruction have not mastered, on top of having literally infinite stamina due to Toei plot armor&gt;STILL comes out on top

&gt;two arcs later and he's still the strongest and multiverses #1"

"Something occurred to me as I gazed upon the glorious aesthetics of this CHAD. He is just a ripped as fuck ayy. Nothing more nothing less. Obviously everyone can see that, and it's been criticized many times. What people failed to see however, was that therein lies the value. His simplistic, "boring" design was not an accident. It was a symbol. A symbol for his belief in absolute strength. You see, CHADren is unique among the many antagonists Goku faced in that he is simply strong. Nothing more, nothing less. He doesn't have weird gimmicks, he doesn't have fancy techniques that border on magic, his race doesn't have weird biological gifts, he doesn't have transformations. He's just fucking strong because he worked for it.

And with that raw strength he surpasses everything, no gimmick works on him, no transformation helps, even freezing him in time doesn't defeat him."

"He was the first antagonist since VEGETA to mercilessly shoot down every single thing the protagonists tried. Nothing fucking worked against this guy. Technically he was even worse than Vegeta, since at least Vegeta took damage, (he just kept standing up like he had protagonist-tier plot stamina), but Jiren was straight up invincible. Then MUI happened, Gokek did it, he achieved the impossible, he's finally surpassed Jiren in power, he can win! Except no, he fucking doesn't. At the end of it they had to basically meme Jiren out of the ring to win because he was required to lose one way or another.

''A lot had to do with the arc structure. Normally when a guy is that much stronger the characters simply get the fuck out and find a way to train to get stronger (ie. Cell, Black arc). But here they had to somehow find a way to beat him in 48 minutes."''

"Jiren the Gray. Amusing how this simple name inspires even the most stalwart of Brolytards. Lizardcucks, and Gokufags to tremble in fear and commence their ultimately fruitless shitposting--a pathetic attempt at whistling past the graveyard and a testament to CHADren's pure, unadulterated strength. TIME ITSELF falls to his might. Kachi Katchin, the STRONGEST MATERIAL IN THE KNOWN MULTIVERSE, which even the GRAND PRIEST HIMSELF claimed was indestructible, crumpled like fucking CARDBOARD beneath GODren's power. A technique that only the angels have mastered--a technique that escapes even the GoDs--was mere FODDER against ALMIGHTYren once he unleashed his true power.Why is this, you ask? Because DISCIPLINEDren knows the value of cultivating pure inner strength through intense meditation, studious adherenc

''e to the Warrior's Code, and the complete lack of ties and bonds to anything that will do ANYTHING but increase his strength. He's truly a momentous character, a quintessential testament to the overarching theme of Dragon Ball that has been oh so omnipresent since the series' humble beginnings.''

JIREN THE GRAY."

"The build up to CHADren is honestly the most hype thing in all of Dragon Ball. Coming out of the Black Arc, Goku literally felt unbeatable, the guy had mastered SSB Kaioken and even some GoDs showed fear towards his power. He looked so unbeatable that he seemed to be the villain of the arc this time, even when fighting Toppo, a GoD candidate, Goku just shat all over him without even using SSB Kaioken, when at the time we knew he could use SSB Kaioken x10 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veBYIXkMUfI

''Then Toppo told all of us that he wasn't the strongest of his universe, and that if SSB Kaioken was Goku's max power, he would have no chance against the No. 1 of U11. We as the audience laughed at Toppo, knowing Goku still had SSB Kaioken x10 and Toppo being delusional about being equal to Goku even though he got raped by the regular SSB.''

''Goku kept shitting on everyone during the ToP with just SSB and no Kaioken needed. Then it happened, Goku finally faced Jiren. We see Jiren stop with one finger the same attacks that Beerus was having trouble with back in BoG, but there was no issue, Goku still had SSB Kaioken, right? Then Jiren just glared at it and beat it. No worries, Goku can still go SSB Kaioken x10, right? Then we find out that he had been using not x10, but x20. Goku went and used the Spirit Bomb on top of SSB Kaioken x20, and Jiren beat all that power by just staring at it. It was over, nothing could match Jiren anymore. Even fusions looked like a joke against that unstoppable force.''

''Finally, Goku's new form was revealed. Usually, a new form means the antagonist gets utterly raped and humilliated in moments, right? Not with CHADren. Ultra Instinct, Goku's latest form, was barely enough to even put Goku on Jiren's level. And then, Ultra Instinct was defeated, with Jiren, only NOW showing a ki around him. Hit comes in, but we all knew he wouldn't stand a chance.''

Jiren was clearly unbeatable." ''"I used to be an anti-Jiren poster like you guys, which would constantly get triggered by Jiren posters. However, slowly and over time, my perspective of Jiren started to change as I watched him continuously annihilate everyone in the T.O.P. I contemplated for a bit, and started to ask myself what made him so fascinating as a character, a view I still have of him even after his backstory was revealed. Why does a characters backstory have to be convoluted for them to be a likeable anyways? Dragon Ball never had any complex backstories; perhaps one could argue that Jirenâ€™s backstory wasnâ€™t particularly unique amongst the other characters, but Jiren as a whole is more distinctive than the entire main cast combined.''

''Take a good look at Dragon Ball Super, note the constant asspull powerups and gimmick transformations among the main cast and major antagonists; of course, Jiren and the Pride Troopers are the only exemptions. Now, take a good look at Jiren, a man that has achieved his unconquerable strength and wisdom through continuous HARD WORK, MEDITATION and has never once resorted to pathetic gimmicks. I have long accepted that Jiren is the best and that heâ€™s also the STRONGEST character in the entire franchise. When will you accept it?"''

"In the beginning, I, like many fellow Jirenchads, merely used Jiren as a vehicle to shit on pathetic Brolyspics. After WEAKly's utterly HUMILIATING performance in his own movie, where he got utterly trounced by a mere SS fusion, it was great fun to point out that he was WEAKER than the antagonist that came before him (and possibly even the one before that one).''But in time, as we shitposted about how much stronger, chadder and manlier STRONGren was than WEAKly, we began our path towards enlightenment. We began to realize that Chadren was truly meant to be the strongest mortal fighter ever, hence why he still hasn't been surpassed two (2) arcs later. We saw the noble nature of his existence, which gained strength not by gimmicks, asspulls or biological advantages, but by pure training and discipline. We came to understand his unique role as an antagonist, who not only represented a truly insurmountable level of power more so than anyone before him, but also, against all shonenlogic, still remained the victor (1v1) after he was supposedly "surpassed" by the mother of all asspulls. Ultimately, even his "boring" design was chosen for meaningful artistic depth, representing his characters nature as 'simply strong, nothing more nothing less' perfectly, which required a higher mind to comprehend. Only in this light could we understand the truly noble nature of his intimidating, physically imposing CHADGLARE and ALPHAPOSE. He was not there to be aggressive, but merely acted as a rock, the quintessence of what it means to be a chad. He will not go out of his way to attack you, but you will break your fists merely by trying to hurt him, and he will calmly and silently crush you with as little force as is required.''

Call him STRONGESTren, AESTHETICren, DISCIPLINEDren, INSURMOUNTABLEren, PHYSICALLYIMPOSINGren - In the end, he is the one and only: CHADren, the strongest man in all the universes."

"All mortal life exists within certain limits. All living beings grow only within these bounds. These are the limits put unto them by nature. By Zeno himself. We may dub these parameters of growth one's limiters.

''But that man... He drove himself decisively beyond all barriers. He actually succeeded in breaking his limits.''

''The strongest creatures in this universe are those who were already born with that potential. They simply nurture it through training or transformations. In some cases, they may gain that strength through external means, like technology or magic. Some simply are born with special powers.''

''But he's something else altogether. By nature, average. By nurture, average. He had no talents or biological advantages to speak of. He was the very image of Mr. Every-Ayy. And then, with hard work, and hard work alone, he broke his limits. He gained levels of powers that shouldn't be possible for mortal beings, surpassing even the Gods of Destruction."''

"For me, it's Jiren the Gray. He is the quintessential embodiment of the core values of DB - self-improvement, mental acuity, discipline, and the cultivation of inner strength - and the personification of might gained through sheer hard work and determination. Consider, if you will, the fact that the Saiyans need to constantly abuse their physiology and, in certain cases, literally destroy their bodies to gain new transformations just to merely keep up with opponents who gained their power through nothing but training and perseverance. Jiren is the summit of these opponents, and not only does his well-deserved strength stand in a class of its own, it positively DWARFS the Saiyans and their shortcuts and demonstrates that only through self-discipline can one rise to the loftiest heights. God, I love this fucking character."

"God, look at how fucking QUINTESSENTIAL he is. With every blow, he embodies the principle values of Dragon Ball. With each sagacious expostulation, he enriches the audience's viewpoints. With every appearance, the evolution of the franchise becomes all too clear. His time in the spotlight hasn't even spanned the length of a single arc, yet he is more important, compelling, and intellectually stimulating than any character in the series BAR FUCKING NONE. 

I can't believe how goddamn incredible this character is. I genuinely can FUCKING not believe it. He was written by a god of Olympus high, for no mortal man could have conceived of such an esoteric and compelling character. Sometimes I even wonder if he created himself through sheer force of will. "

''"CHADren the Gray, known across all of Zeno's realms as "The strongest mortal in the Multiverse" - or, as DB Dokkan Battle calls him, "The Invincible Strongest of the Strong" has no equal. This titanic force of a MAN displayed unparalleled feats of strength such as: facetanking SSB attacks without any damage, breaking through frozen time, punching through Destructo Disks and grabbing them, beating up SSB levels without looking at them, causing them to detransform into base from the MERE AIR-PRESSURE OF HIS PUNCH, fighting two rookie GoD level opponents AT THE SAME TIME and STILL coming out on top... All of this, mind you, happens while he is hiding his full power. Once he does unleashed his full power, he basically doesn't even have to fight them. Just merely bursting them with his AURA (not a ki attack, JUST HIS AURA) is enough to nearly KO all of them. It shatters the imagination just how unbelievably strong this MAN is. But then we find out, even his "full strength" hasn't even scratched the surface of CHADren's infinite power. He was already stronger than the Gods of Destruction in his normal state, but his Limit Break state can keep up with a fucking ANGEL TRANSFORMATION.''

''We will never forgot CHADren's infinite might. It is no wonder why Beerus scratched the potara fusion idea from the get-go, knowing it would only hasten their inevitable loss. The only thing, the ONLY asspull powerful enough to match this titan was the mastered Ultra Instinct, an Angel level being. And EVEN THEN he won the battle. Goku couldn't beat him! This MAN not only remains undefeated 1v1, even now, two (2) arcs later he is still the undisputed strongest in the multiverse. He was so strong they had to immediately write the only powerup that could match him out of the story, because it would have fodderized everyone from then on. TWO arcs later and he's still the strongest. In Dragon Ball! Can you imagine that? It'd be like saiyan arc Vegeta being stronger than Cell! Absolutely legendary."''

THAN THE NEXT 2 (TWO) ANTAGONISTS

HOW DOES HE DO IT"

"As I sit and pontificate upon esoteric ponderances such as the scope of the universe, the meaning of existence, and the magnificence of Jiren the Gray, I find myself quite often contemplating upon the incongruous audacity of this magnanimous character's detractors. Are they simply envious of us? As intellectual titans of the highest caliber, such a conclusion would not be unfounded. Might it be that they are intimidated? As a studious arbiter of logical thought, I have been privy to--and, in some instances, been the proprietor of--many instances of naysayers' intellectual dismemberment at the hands of the myriad Jirenscholars, so this hypothesis, too, has its merits.

''It takes a true scholarly mind and unflinching perseverance in the face of adversity and criticism to maintain such an unflinching level of intellectual honesty and peerless perspicacity that has become the hallmark of the Jirenscholars. Perhaps, rather than crush them underfoot as helpless insectoids, utilizing our collective titanic intellect as a proverbial boot, we should show them a modicum of pity and extend to them the enlightened hand of the Grayy Church. Pity and reliance on others, of course, is the bane of the cultivation of true inner strength, but some beings begin life too weak to seek it out on their own. They are simply dealt a poor hand, but they must rise above it instead of fighting blindly against it with childish insults, jejune arguments, and a veritable maelstrom of logical fallacies that they tirelessly pepper us with in a neverending, fruitless onslaught.''

''It is our duty, brethren, to show ALL peoples the way. Even those that seek to turn from it. GLORY AND APPROBATION TO JIREN THE GRAY! "''

"To understand Jiren's full power, one must first understand the unbelievable gap between his Limit Break and his ordinary self.

''When Jiren is introduced, he makes quick work of SSBKK, a U7 Spirit Bomb, among other things. At this point Whis already says Jiren surpasses the level of the GoD. I need to point out here that you CANNOT be about the level of a GoD if there are GoD's stronger than you. The whole statement wouldn't make sense. So Jiren is stronger than EVERY GoD, even Beerus. But this was implied already when Belmod, who was called stronger than Beerus, was stated weaker than Jiren.''

''We also see Jiren shrug off SSBKK Goku and SSBE Vegeta in a 2v1, literally being on the advantage the whole time. SSBE Vegeta was capable of beating GoD Toppo, who is stated to be "no different from a regular GoD". Even if you want to argue that he's the weakest of the GoDs, he is still definitely on their level. Since Vegeta beat him, that means both Goku and Vegeta are on that level. So Jiren was winning against BOTH of these at the same time. He was effectively fending off two Gods of Destruction simultaneously. Now, here's the thing. This whole time Jiren is holding back his full power. Him being above the GoD level, beating GoD-level opponents, all of this happened while his ki was suppressed.''

''Once he does unleash his full power everything changes. His opponents (GoD level) are literal ants to him. He FACETANKS their beam attacks and almost KO's all of them merely by flaring his aura. Not even an "Owari Da" ki attack, just bursting his AURA is enough to wreck GoD level opponents.''

''This incomprehensibly strong Jiren, who was so vastly stronger than GODS OF DESTRUCTION LEVEL FIGHTERS that he could FACETANK their strongest attacks and KO them by flexing his ki - THIS Jiren - then got FODDERIZED by Ultra Instinct Goku. Absolutely fodderized. A full power CHARGED Ki attack from him was simply crushed in Goku's hand. He gets destroyed by a billion punches in an instant. THAT is how much stronger UI is than THIS Jiren, to whom GoDs are but ants.''

''But then of course, Jiren HIMSELF has a Limit Break that puts him on an even footing with UI. He made up that INSANE gap in power and reached the same level. Everything I talked about in regards to Jiren and his incredible power is completely DWARFED by this Limit-breaking Jiren that is now equal, if not outright superior, to UI. At this point we have two beings that have left the "GoD level" so far behind it's not even the same dimension anymore.''

To put it plainly: LB Jiren &gt;= UI &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; FP Jiren &gt;&gt; Jiren &gt; 2x GoD fighters / Beerus"

"I have to confess something. I was not always a scholar. It is noticeable, as my vernacular fails to be as rich and sharp as that of my peers. However, I live in respect and accordance with the teachings of Jiren and what he represents. Even if my brain, due to its limitations in terms of both biology and a past life lived in ignorance, isn't as potent as my fellow scholars, I strive to set the example that ignorance is a choice. Every genius needs assistants, who, while not on the same intellectual level, are still of a certain mental pedigree, and contribute in the search of knowledge and truth accordingly.

''Back during the Zamasu saga of Dragon Ball Super, I would just sit on my couch, a sad mess of a man, fat, a creature of hedonism, no confidence, no vision, watching. What could there be beyond watching anime, drinking and smoking alone, dealing with unspeakable sexual urges by partaking in sick shit on the internet, no girlfriend, no friends to speak of, disowned by my family, A complete and utter mess.''

''But then, the ToP saga. This character, Jiren the Gray. The name caught my eye when it was first uttered. Something about it rung deep within myself, the last speck of hope within my spirit struggling within the darkness. Then, I saw it. His design, his actions. It spoke to me in a way I could never have imagined. So filled with awe was I at this character that my very being changed. Jiren was defeated at the end, but I wasn't. I understood his message.''

''Almost from night to day, my world changed. I got urges not sin and partake in vice, but to sculpt my mind and body. As soon as I noticed, I was already slim and on my way to achieving a toned body, and my mind wandered from math to philosophy on my spare time. Women took notice of me, I began making friends, reconnected with my family. I landed a good job at a company, with a promotion on the way already.''

''I have only Jiren to thank. I am proud to be a scholar, now and forever.''

''CHADCHAD CHAD CHAD. "''

"I'd like to seize this opportunity to congratulate all my fellow Jirenbrothers. We have successfully become the strongest and most predominant characterfags this entire site has ever seen.

By congregating our collective above-average IQs into one line of posting, we have successfully dwarfed every other characterfagging prior to us.

''Oh but that is not even the best part. Our "competition" if you can even call it that, has been thwarted and stomped into submission in ways never even thought possible. With the most clever and eloquent pastas I've personally ever seen, we slowly but surely drove the anti-jiren jihadists and pedros MAD with anger and frustration.''

''Since our constant streak of victories ensuing in every thread for months on end, they have tried: Crying to the mods, posting autistic ISIS edits, editing Jiren's pictures to make him shorter, making petty threads only to get archived or deleted to get away from Chadren threads, spamming literal faggot porn, /v/ spam, /toy/ spam, cardposting, blatantly lying and posting nonsense, out of context baiting, RTHing, textless waifushit spam to image limit more than once, and the list goes on. Needless to say, nothing worked.''

It surely doesn't help their cause either that official media constantly treats and announces Jiren as the strongest mortal in DB universe.

''To put it plainly, thank you, my fellow Jirenbros. Our outstanding genius work will not be soon forgotten, nor will Jiren himself. "''

''Holy FUCKING shit. This is literally the greatest piece of voice acting I've ever seen.''

Tardku getting desperate because Jiren could just slap him the FUCK out while he's charging his dumbass attack.

''But then, Jiren interjects. With his manly, BARITONE voice, in a polite but firm tone, he says: "I'll wait."''

He repeats himself - Since this is Goku's trump card, he's willing to wait.

''And then it happens. It fucking happens.''

"ZENRYOKU DE KOI!"

HOLY

FUCKING

SHIT

I have never, NEVER heard an utterance so full of CHADDISH confidence, MANLY fucking determination, and vigorous INTREPIDITY.

''JESUS fucking Christ. Fucking LISTEN to that baritone voice BOOM through the anime. My FUCKING GOD. No wonder they call this man the Alpha of Awe."''&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;

"I feel like a huge reason people misunderstand Jiren's characterization and subsequently dismiss it as "bland", "boring", and "generic" is that they don't recognize the meticulously-crafted nuances that give him form. This isn't an insult; newcomers--also known as "casuals" to the more uncouth individuals--are unfamiliar with shonen tropes, and only regurgitate what they perceive as ultimate truths as a result of blind hearsay. Again, this is not meant as an insult: ignorance in and of itself is not an imperfection. It is only when that ignorance germinates and blossoms into WILLFUL ignorance that it becomes detrimental to one's continued existence as a worthwhile member of humanity.

''Jiren the Gray transcends the quintessential tropes of a shonen character who lost someone important to him/her and seeks to atone and rise above this tragedy. He does not cleave to his deceased master's teachings as if they are gospel merely because he was unable to safe him; he instead crafted his own ideals, virtues, and motivations in the way he saw as most advantageous in regards to accomplishing his ultimate goal: to utterly, WITHOUT FAIL, espouse his master's teachings. Jiren is not beholden to Gicchin's viewpoints or personal, individual ideals: he instead recognizes that his fallen master would want him to walk his own path, regardless of the possible and probable contradicting vectors their respective moral codes could cross.''

''This, more than anything else, cements Jiren as his own character--indeed, his own man. He pulled himself up by his bootstraps, using his beloved master's demise not as a crutch, but as a singular motivation to reinforce HIS OWN beliefs, HIS OWN ways of life, while at the same time deftly weaving Gicchin's persona into his own mode of existence.''

''Jiren is more than a character in a legendarily-influential shonen story that will never be surpassed. He is an ideal. A belief. A way of life.''

He is the summit."

"Consider the nuanced juxtaposition of Jiren's character. He strives for the upholding of justice, yet fears the inadequacy of his own philosophy strongly enough to discard his ideals in order to maintain quiescence with his beliefs, which are his sole motivation due to the trauma of loss.

''He is staunchly persistent in his personal goals, almost to a point of fault, as they force him to abandon close relationships and interpersonal ties, leading him to be surrounded by like-minded individuals - and yet, completely alone, crushed by the all-encompassing and solitary silence. This runs perpendicular with most modern depictions of heroes of justice, almost all of whom seek to garner rapport and camaraderie with their fellows. Yet Jiren's core beliefs parallel an impressive number of literary paragons, such as Edmond Dantes and Othello.''

What a fascinating, thought-provoking character we've been graced with."
