How many episodes until the special?
The special will be episode "109" and it will air in the second week of October.

So soon? Was my initial reaction, it really doesn't feel like we're heading towards a climax.

Are you sure the special is episode 109? Because someone else said that there's going to be 4 episodes between 105 and the special, which would imply that the special is 110. Either way, we know absolutely nothing about any episodes after 106 and before the special, so anything can happen.

[up]Yes I'm sure there are only going to be three episodes of DBS in September and the first episode that will air in October (in the second week) will be the Special.

Ya know, now that I think about, it kinda makes sense. Toppo just declared that they should stop playing hero and survive last week. This means that Toppo (and in turn Jiren) will stop conserving energy and start going ham on the tourney soon. And since both of them are pretty damn strong, this might mean a lot more people will be eliminated within the next few episodes.

Also, I'm pretty sure we're not going to see Goku's new form until like the last few minutes of the special, since the producer said the special is only the start of the climax.

Whoa whoa, that is soon. 109-110? They'd have to really up the eliminations, should have at least eliminated Roshi here.

I feel there is a good chance that a large part of U 7 is going to have to job rather suddenly to fit this.

Is special going to be longer than a normal episode?

It's technically just two new episodes being aired on the same day, kinda like how the Ducktales premier was.

[up][up][up] The preview actually implies that some people might still be in against Jiren.

It feels like we're rushing towards a climax.

Remember back in June the voice actor of Yamucha said on twitter he's been recording lines for the character all day long?

The lines were in fact for the Dragon ball FighterZ videogame. So that means Yamucha will appear in some capacity, whether as playable, support like #17 or in storyline cutscenes only remains to be seen.

I fucked up when I said there's 4 epsiodes left. There's only three.

Episode 106: September 2nd

Break

Episode 107: September 16th

Episode 108: September 24th

Break (this is the One Piece special)

Special: October 1st.

Three episodes, then the 1 hour special. That's really soon.

With how they've been treating him like a meme, I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't in the game.

Maybe Jiren will return the favor and eliminate most of U7 himself?

So I'm guessing that Jiren will soon finally move his ass and start wiping people out left and right to clear the stage for his fight with Goku.

I think it's kind of funny that people are wondering more about who will beat Jiren rather than what his deal is after all of this hype.

I'll laugh is Jiren really does eliminate the remaining fighters. Including Freeza, Hit, Vegeta, and Gohan and pretty much everyone we hyped up.

Super Dragon Ball Heroes 6 Commercial:

The site also reiterates that "something will happen" to the newest Goku card on September 24th.

Also, nice to know that Yamcha will have some form of decent capacity in Fighter Z. Wondering if he'll be an extended assist character (like Android 17) or a playable fighter, in addition to being in the story?

Oh, damn. Only three episodes left until the grand finale?

Given the fact that the next episode will be about a sniper who I think is from Universe 2, that means we'll only have two episodes to get the other two jobber universes (3 and 4) out of the picture. I hope that Universe 3 gets its due time in the limelight before going out.

Wait, is the fight with Jiren the end, or the beginning of the end?

Either way it's a sign that he's probably going to go down like a punk despite all his buildup.

I get the feeling that the first part of the special will be Jiren wiping out the remaining fighters, and the second part will be his fight with Goku, which he'll dominate right until Goku transforms at the very end.

I think everyone has stopped caring about who Jiren is at this point since he's about as interesting as sandpaper atm.

But who knows, maybe actually fighting will give him a personality.

Perhaps against better judgement, I'll hold out hope that there's a reason Jiren has been so blank thus far.

He's the strong guy Goku needs to beat. That's pretty much all there is to him.
