Dragon Ball Super |OT3| Men in pink? How bizarre!

That's likely what they're playing off of here. Seeing Goku's face do very aggressive and evil looks will likely give us nightmares for years to come
Revitalizing an entire planet and adapt in such a way that a culture that took millions of years to be achieved appears in a second is very special in my eyes

One bad Goku is enough. Goku absorbing himself infinity times over is too much. How would anyone beat that?
The montage scene I never knew I wanted until now.
At least he didn't wish for a new bed, that'd give Oolong a run for his money.
Honestly though I liked it. I didn't really have anything in mind for what they could possibly wish for, so Beerus showing he's got a bit of a soft spot for his Brother was nice to see.
I'll all aboard THE ONE Goku as well. THAT specifically would be the "How can they win?" factor to the villain.
Let's break it down:
13 Universes.
Each universe has a pairing.
1 + 12
2 + 11
3 + 10
4 + 9
5 + 8
6 + 7
Six total pairings. Imagine if each one is a replica of the other, with different events.
In our Universe 7, Goku is a good child. In the other FOUR universes, the same thing happens because of the bump on his head. In the fifth, however... Goku becomes evil instead. A totally separate timeline happens, whereupon it gets to this point where Goku acquired the God Box that Whis has and uses it to cross all universe barriers (stated in the Tournament arc). Doing this, he takes Potara with him, and tricks other Gokus into merging with him. He grows so strong that he does not need to turn Super Saiyan or ANYTHING because his power is just too overwhelming. This causes him to just name himself Black.
But something happens when he comes to Universe 7 - he finds that this universe is already destroyed, and the Goku here is dead already. He's arrived in the alternate Trunks future! He hunts down the rest of the survivors to figure out what has happened to this Goku, and comes across Trunks having a time machine. He figures if he goes back to the past, he can acquire this Universe's Goku and become The One.
One thing is for certain, if Potara is involved (a Kami creation) then it's possible ONLY the Omni-King can destroy Potara earrings.
We might get a FUCKTON of lore about the Kami and Potara and everything. I'm hyped.

Pretty sure the only universe that could have an alternate goku (or even have saiyans, period) is universe 6
Nothing about the contents of the other universes has been stated. Just what U6 contains (Planet Salad, different Saiyans, etc).

The only universe with Goku is 7.

If I know dragonball, a training montage.

I don't think there'd be a point in mentioning the twin universes unless the others were totally different.
That is a neat idea though. I expect this arc to fully explore the different timelines and how they fit in with the multiverse. Especially since Jaco said time travel was outlawed, which means people must have done it before, somewhere

There are little foreshadowing and chekov's guns everywhere in the tournament arc, but they're in throwaway comments most people ignored (and will likely go back and be like HOLY SHIT THEY TALKED IT ABOUT IT ALL THE WAY BACK THEN)
Time for me to go on media blackout until I wakeup and see the episode. I look forward to reading everyones reactions when i've watched it.
Yeah. I got the impession that the twin universes were similar in someways, but with key differences (as we see from Frost, earths fate, the Saiyans) and that the other twin ones were separate and completely different to universe 6 and 7, but had a similar relation to universe 6 and 7.
Jaco is definitely going to reprimand Trunks when he shows up
Well...the other Dragon Balls did it too. So comparatively, not really.

About that.
Now of course, undoing the effects of potara is a different story, as far as we know.

The other Dragon Balls revived a planet the way it was before. Changing millions of years worth of history is some next level nonsense

Never mind!

Vegeta = Omni King confirmed
No they didn't, they remade something that already existed. Reviving people and physically fixing the planet pales in comparison to actually altering a long dead planet to have a similar history to another and willing thousands of lives into existence.

That image reminds me that I never read the manga.
Oh well, Kai was probably better or close enough anyway

Probably, I'm sure it was in kai as well though, it should be when they've been absorbed by buu, when they defuse, vegeta immediately destroys his potara earring, so they can't fuse again when they get out.
It was just easier to find the pictures on google from the manga.

Wait so why is Trunk's hair purple here in DBH?
Speculation that Trunks grows up during the saga. Thus hair needs to be differentiated.

Kai was close enough to the manga, just with some scenes slightly changed and some anime filler left in. it really boils down to whether you prefer reading manga or watching anime.
To this day the only big-ish thing that irks me about the changes Toei made from the manga is this.

The Buu arc of Kai isn't remastered very well and they left in a shit ton of filler.

At this point we still don't know how different the non-twin universes are. It's speculated that they're completely different (races, planets, etc) but that's just speculation at this point. Although I guess that would make the distinction of twin universes rather pointless.
Still, if they are completely different, it'd mean most competitors in the 12 universe tournament would basically be random aliens, which has its own disadvantages.

Wait so thats current universe Trunks and not Future Trunks?!

I'm starting to think the blue hair is only for the viewer, and not an in-universe thing

someone told me this idea where goku black is actually future goten and i'm like that's dumb but i can't stop thinking about it help
That is so damn subtle but says a lot about Goku's character at that point. Shame about the translation to anime.

How many pages of commentary do you think we'll get when the episode airs? My guess is 5

WHAT IS THIS
THERE HE IS, MY BOY TRUNKS
SHIT
OH MAN IT'S BLACK
About 5 pages of that

The best part about knowing that this is going to be a "do or die" arc, is the fact that EVERYONE will fight.
I'm expecting Piccolo, Tien, even Yamcha to show up to try and defend the Earth. Just like the Android saga.

I'm most looking forward to the possibility of Beerus and Whis having to get in on the action.

To be fair, the discussion got pretty confusing. Someone said that the blue hair was only to differentiate between current/future Trunks. What they meant is that the DB Heroes art didn't need to do this, but it's easy to misinterpret.
We might finally see Whis fight.

No, that's Future Trunks with a different hair color. The speculation about a timeskip has nothing to do with that image.
Trunks' VA mentioned that young Trunks might start maturing soon after meeting his older self, although it's likely just personality-wise.

SolVanderlyn is right, I think this whole blue hair trunks thing is for the viewer. wished they said something over twitter about it.
