The Kamehameha would propel him upward just like a rocket in space does...


I assume then when someone fires off a big blast, they're also using ki to root themselves in place and not be knocked back a mile.

If a kamehameha hover = ki one way without blocking movement the other way, is that also how flight works, just with a more focused effort that doesn't waste a big blast? Then the hover and not flight seems like a technicality, eh?

I'm gonna guess Piccolo for next KO. When you think about, he's the only character who hasn't been foreshadowed to fight someone. Besides Frieza, but Frieza gonna Frieza.
And I could totally see them using him same as Krillin, as a motivator for Gohan as they did 18.



Has Tien? Even his recruitment episode was a jobbing affair for him

Gohan is not gonna job are you guys serious? He is the second to only Goku in this arc, and seeing how DB has a tradition of Goku almost never winning any tournament ever, Gohan might be the last standing.

Now Vegeta on the other hand.......

Jiren has to defeat _someone_ so he looks cool

Clown god looks pretty damn confident. Universe 11's team is also pretty slick (Pride Troopers) compared to the other Universes. I don't think they have a non-pride trooper in their team.

The episode which introduced Taiyoken x 100 (King Ryuu) wasn't written by the writer of this episode (Toshio Yoshitaka). It seems like whoever supervises and unifies Super's scripts (Toei basically hides that position by omitting the series composition credit) is really lax with making the writers actually work together.



They were clearly able to sense the Pride Troopers too. It seems to be just Universe 9 that couldn't be sensed so far.

I doubt that. Not the first time a move was created, but did nothing in the long run.

The interactions in this episode were great, especially from Beerus "VEGETA, DISS HIM!", also how the hell can Shin be throwing shade at Krillin like that when he didn't even check the rest of the universe for better fighters AFTER he said he was going to do it.


He did. He didn't find anyone. You noticed that the Supreme Kai said that during the day and we didn't see him again until Goku assemble the original team.

Jiren and Gohan are literally following the exact same gameplan of doing fuck all unless someone comes to them. They won't face each other until the very end when there's barely anyone left and that tactic won't work anymore.

On the other hand, there's lots of other strong characters who are going around aggroing everyone they land their eyes on, one of them will job to Jiren for sure.

I think Hit will be taken out by Vegeta, if the writers are willing to throw him a bone.
Goku knows how to counter Hit's technique. The rest? I'm not sure. I think we'll see major battles like Goku vs Toppo/Hit/Jiren eventually in the tournament. I hope Gohan gets a strong opponent too. You know we really don't know much about other Universe fighters, maybe in the upcoming episodes they will fix that.

I feel like Gohan will be safe until later by playing it safe, then he'll go on the offensive when the numbers dwindle and it's down to the last few.

I hope we get more info on the other universes too. My guess:

Universe 3 and 10 are a jobber Universe (RIP my mans Gowasu)

Universe 4 is jobber minus the 2 hidden chartcers

Universe 2 is most definitely not jobbing, and I see them doing a lot of damage later in the tournament.

Universe 6 have a lot of fan favorites, but I see them going out soon unless they are planning to do something with Frost/Freeza.

Gowasu shall liveon by being the best Godtuber of all time. *salute*

It's gonna be really sad when him and Universe 6 disappear in the tournament.

Kinda wish the tournament was prolonged alil but more to get to know the others as well as we did uni 6 and to an extent 9 so I could feel something but understandable even in this thread ppl were getting restless and ready for it to start

I'm racist/ univercist ?

I want all of them to die besides U7. Let's get rid of the trash.

Piccolo has to have an interaction with those U6 Namekians

Also I think th time limit will run out and they will move the location of the tournament and change the rules.

Just watched the latest episode... compared to last week's episode, this was pretty underwhelming tbh. Hope they add more twists between episode so this tournament doesn't become a chore to watch. At least the upcoming episode seems it's going to be pure hype so looking forward to that.

My personal guess is the next universe erase, probably 4, the GoD is going to attack Zeno or maybe the stage out of desperation. Shit will pop off from there.

He probably knows how to beat timeskip from watching Goku, it's the stuff that Hit showed in his 2nd fight that's the problem.

Sadly Vegeta does not seem to have the fighting instinct that Goku does. That's going to be a problem in the tournament I feel especially with people like Jiren and others who might have some interesting techniques. Also Goku only got the best of Hit using the Kaio-ken 10x powerup. It's going to be a Goku-Gohan show all the way tbh.

Goku IS a slow starter but Better in the end game, vegeta IS more consistent Imo

Episode was a bit of a mixed bag for me. I'm sad about Krillin. I thought we'd get to see some really cool techniques from him. For some reason I thought we'd end up seeing him ride a destructo disc by the end of this or something. But alas, it was not to be.

But I do think it was a pretty good and balsy move to eliminate him so suddenly. I was more disappointed on how they handled 18 than Krillin in this episode. There were just some weird things. Like why were they both so scared of the blind guy? He really didn't demonstrate that much power before fighting Krillin, yet 18 was like "KRILLIN NO YOU CAN'T TAKE HIM!".....what?

the only universe i don't care about getting erased is probably the robot jobber universe...3 right? i want the rest of them to survive somehow
 
Speaking of Hit vs Vegeta, what was he thinking charging Hit in only SSJ form?

I can get with the idea if saving energy for the long haul and fighting conservatively. Makes sense.

But Vegeta knows Hit is physically on par with him and has a whole bag of tricks that can take out Goku and himself at their best. Going at Hit straight on while still holding back power seems like a good way to get quickly eliminated.

Vegeta status as goku rival is under threat from hit and now freeza. If he does not eliminate hit, i don't think he will have another chance to fight him and to cement his growth.
 
I reckon Hit could well fade early---this is the 2nd tournament, in a row, where the rules even more specifically run detrimental to his whole being an Assassin loaded up with killing techniques on top of all the other extra restrictions.

Even Goku reckoned this after the last time, as he still hasn't gotten his anything goes fight with him bringing everything to bear---this tournament he can't bring ANY of it.

he could just stand on the border of the platform, wait for someone to try to get him, stop time, and kick them off instead

I'm personally excited to see the hints of Vegeta fighting Hit again while Goku goes for Jiren. While Gohan takes on Toppi (please make it happen, redeem the Gohan we all love)

I want to see my guys shining in this tournament.

Give me some 17 centric fights too!

Oh wow dubbed Champa in Super sounds a lot better than he did in the DLC.
Difference is night and day.

Gives me hope with Cabba, Frost, and Hit.
 
I think my biggest bummer in this whole tourney thing is I've really started liking a lot of these characters (particularly the entirety of U6). I hope something happens where those universes aren't really erased. Hit in particularly; I need more Hit.

What if gohan fights hit and Vegeta fights toppo?
 
is what Hit does actually ilegal? I don't remember Whis being too unplused about it

it'd be funny if the first time Hit stops time, the Grand Priest appears behind Hit and goes

and disqualifies him

I don't think so, it's his own power, and he's not really travelling through time a significant amount
