We only know three saiyans from Universe 6 and they're the only three that can go super sayain.

It doesn't really matter. I don't believe the list.

Well, I at least think Ultimate Gohan will be considering what Saiga said before about the website

I could see Ultimate Gohan too. Its the talk of skins and brand new characters that seems completely bogus. This game had to have been in development way before Caulifla and Kale were a thing. I could see Beerus. Maybe Hit, Frost or Cabba. Probably not Zamasu or Black. Not anyone from the Tournament of Power.

I heard once that Goku and Chi-Chi speak with the Japanese equivalent of hick accents. That makes sense (they were both raised in the middle of nowhere by their father figures) but now all I can imagine is Cynthia Cranz speaking in a stereotypical country accent and saying things like "All I want is a fancy edumacation for my boy!" tongue

So on this week's episode of Super:

You can foil Hit's Time Skip by going really REALLY fast, but by hitting him the instant before he activates it. Still, Dyspo can't win against Goku + Hit, and Universe 11 is down a warrior. Toppo's ready to abandon justice and go all out.

Loved the way Hit used all his abilities and in actually pretty intelligent ways for the fight. And he managed to see through all of Dyspo's strategies without aid from a commentator or someone Explaining Your Power to the Enemy.

Also Champa has a vuvuzela. That's apparently a thing.

35 minutes in Namek Time left to go!

Next time: Master Roshi's turn in the spotlight. And the Mafubaa is back.

[up] In what sense: literally, or just jumping off the stage? The latter is known to count as a normal disqualification against the affected team (most of the fighters, namely Hit and Frieza, know this), and the former would, grimly, fall in the same category (since their death is self-inflicted, not as a result of others).

I love how Toppo finally just admitted: "Screw the heroics, just eliminate them all mercilessly." Glad to see Toppo getting some time to feel well-rounded, and I'm awaiting Jiren to do the same. And waiting.....and waiting....

[down] To me, right in the middle. It's definitely a straight-up Cerebus Rollercoaster so far (even with "the strongest fighters left", according to the Grand Priest), which I can understand why some people might be bothered.

Welp so much for Justice. You can't totally blame Toppo. With the stakes as high as this, there comes a time where you just gotta do what you gotta do.

You hear that Jiren! Do what you gotta do...or you know, DO SOMETHING PERIOD BESIDES STAND THERE WITH YOUR ARMS CROSSED!

So all this talk about Roshi's techniques and yet he's using the Mafuba AGAIN. Shoot me now... At least I hope he uses it against Jiren

Is there a rule about what happens when a fighter commits suicide?

I've been thinking about that, mostly on the off chance someone in the tournament was a mind controller or a {{More Than Mind Control]]ler who tries to hypno someone into offing themselves. With their mix of rules lawyering and fickleness, I could see Zenou/Priest ruling that scenario either way. Though it's more the circumstances of death that make me wonder. The other scenario I was thinking of - if Freeza or Frost kills someone from their own team - is covered by the rules (it's that killing is not allowed period, I think), but not what happens to the dead person.

Because nobody's allowed to kill, what happens when someone dies is left unsaid. Like, say, which afterlife they go to (if Freeza goes to Earth's hell just for being on Earth when he died, where do you go when you're in the Void?). Are they restored and sent back to fight (if Zenou can even do that)? Are they out? Etc.

This is less nitpick and more hope that that stuff all becomes plot points later on, cause they'd make really interesting plotpoints. We haven't seen the "no killing" gun fire yet, but I've been hoping it would by the end of the tournament.

So I nearly forgot to mention it, but it looks like, in addition to still being able to use regular Super Saiyan God, the fact that the latter is faster, while Blue is stronger is also something from Toriyama's notes.

If nothing else, for all of Super's flaws, I'm really curious to see more of what came from his outline on the series. Some things look like they're being shuffled around and all that.

Makes me wonder if Super Saiyan KAIOUKEN Blue is an actual thing in his outline, and Toyotarou just hasn't used it yet.

Edit: The mistake stays. It will remain as a eternal reminder. I must always remember.

I find it pretty hard to believe that only 35 minutes occurred in the tournament of power. I wonder if the Tournament of Power is the new Namek saga?

[up][up][up] The subs I sad it was faster than Super Sayin, and less stamina than Blue. I dont think God is faster than Blue at all and they got about simillar levels at that point.

Also We finally get to see Universe 4 next up, The 3 top Pride Troopers are taking their gloves off, and Freize and Frost are nowhere to be found. Universe 6 still has 9 fighters Im wondering if 11 will even reach the last man standing rounds.

Only 35 minutes...

Think about what you're saying...

If 35 minutes had passed, that would've been most of the tournament.

wild mass guessObviously time is slowed down so we can see the fights at a slow pace, while the stuff with Zee'O and spectator comments happening simultaneously with the fight instead of cutting away to it happening afterwards. Everyone actually talking really in normal timewild mass guess

They really should not have made it 48 minutes.

Should have been something longer.

The tournament could take place in an arena outside of time or Zen'O slowed time down.
