Yeah, that was sad.

Not the back story, the effort put into it. A sad effort.

The cobbled together backstory was really just used so he would have a character flaw (complete lack of trust) that could be shoehorned in as the "moral lesson" of the competition.

Honestly the way Jiren was depicted at the beginning of the TOP, he should've been able to wipe out the entire field of competitors in an instant, let alone by the time he went raging inferno mode.

the fact that he didn't makes him massively incompetent. Hell, his full power even overwhelmed MUI Goku, there was literally no tension at all

What is the backstory?

As a child, he returned home only to find an "evil villain" murdered his parents.
A warrior sage took him under his wing and trained him.
One day the evil villain returned and killed all of Jiren's friends and even his mentor.
Jiren then vowed never to trust in friendship ever again.
His sole focus became his own strength.

...yeah. Didn't really explain how he managed to achieve God of Destruction-type power on his own.
FFS it took a Saiyan ritual for Goku to turn SSG. Then we had SSB, and then SSB KKx20, and Jiren was still leagues beyond that.

How the **** did he get so strong?!

That's not as bad as the new Broly. At least Jiren is from another Universe.

From going SSJ for the first time to going toe to toe with everything but SSB Gogeta in under an hour or two.

It was practically the same as the anime's, but leaving out the parents bit and giving his master a name

The show missed a huge opportunity to reveal that the "evil villain" was that universe's god of destruction and he was intentionally making jiren's life tough so that he only focuses on strength, with the eventual goal of making him the next GoD. It would also justify why he looks and acts like an evil clown.
