The problem with Jiren he's had a whole year to build a character but they haven't bothered

All other arcs let the villain develop through the story, we watched Frieza strive for the Dragon Balls, Cell seek out his Perfect Form he became so proud of, and even watched Buu's metamorphosis of absorbing people mutating his own personality, setting up the reversion to his pure self from the Kai backstory.

And this isn't a Z only thing, because Super gave us a fully developed character with Zamasu, who's character honestly carries that arc's relatively barren plotline.

This whole year Jiren just exists in the background, comes in to punch out a strong character's crazy form, yet refuse to finish anybody off. No length of flashback is going to save that when we're only 4-5 episodes from the end of the series with the longest arc we've seen.
