YAAASSSSS!!! That sounds so dumb but so damn awesome at the same time. ;D

Wait, what? I mean, I'm kinda excited that somebody other than Goku is getting a powerup, but Master Roshi of all people?

I only watch DB clips for the nostalgia, tbh. That show has jumped the shark long ago.

Yeah pretty much. Master Roshi, despite quitting to Tien in the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai because all the young people had surpassed him and he had nothing more to teach that generation, performs some variation of UI in this new Tournament, at this stage of the game no less, that allows him to dodge Jiren's punches. Not the real form, but he still dodges attacks on instinct.

Jiren still one-shots the old man /eventually/, but that's really no reason why Jiren couldn't have one-shotted him to begin with, considering Toyo was perfectly fine drawing Krillin, Android 18, Tien, Piccolo, and various other characters getting fodderized. He only chose NOW to remember the manga is more than just the Goku and Vegeta Show.

Also, to top it off, Goku attains the actual Ultra Instinct Omen form simply by WATCHING Master Roshi dodging Jiren's punches, gains the form, charges at Jiren, and then the form immediately wears off just as Jiren throws a single punch and he gets laid out anyway. So he held the form for a drastically shorter time than what Roshi spent dodging and throwing hits.

This should answer every question people have about Master Roshi lol.
"It was stated by Akira Toriyama in Dragon Ball Volume F in relation to Roshi defeating numerous Frieza Soldiers that Master Roshi is “only that strong if he feels like it”."

Yeah, as I said earlier, this is just one shark-jumping moment in a pool of shark-jumping moments. DB has become the most thoughtless, uninspired shonen over the years. It still baffles me that there are people who are focusing on the quality of it's writing, as if Toyotaro/Toriyama are gonna up their game after decades of doing the same thing over and over again.
