[up][up][up]Everyone been eliminating fodder so far.

[up][up]Yeah, but it's based on people reading way too much into an ending, so take it with a grain of salt.

If Vegeta is eliminated I'll take that theory much more seriously. But as things stand, two is just a coincidence, and the first two eliminated were frankly two characters most people probably didn't expect to last long anyway.

Two of the weakest members got eliminated first. It would be surprising if it was otherwise. And from the looks of it, I don't think Roshi is making it through the next episode.

Also, the mad scientist-looking guy from U3 controls all the others, right? That's just begging for a mass elimination.

Yea, the ending theory is funny, but the two characters eliminated first were the ones everyone expected so I don't think it's fair to say the ending is some foreshadowing based on that alone.

I'd laugh if Jiren throws Paparoni out of the ring and the entirety of U3 goes straight into the toilet.

Ha ha ha. What a story, Mark.

Jiren's name appears to come from the word renji, Japanese for stove.

That settles it. Paparoni is getting cooked.

Normally, I'd be worried about U4 being close to eliminated, but everyone from that universe I care about is already defeated. By which I mean Ganos is defeated.

Revised spoilers for 107-110

Doesn't look like Frost will succeed beating Vegeta, but he will take out Roshi it seems.

LOL, Shlugo, it's the exact opposite of what I predicted to you. Freeza looks like he'll help Gohan and then turns on him.

It doesn't sound like Gohan is going to stay in if Freeza, Frost and the guy giving him a hard time gun for him at once. The spoilers make it unclear if Freeza will actually eliminate him before turning on Gohan, or back off just before it.

And apparently Frost might try the Mafuba on someone?

It sounds like he's somehow re-directing Roshi's Mafuba.

Didn't the spoilers for 109 mention Gohan was still fighting Jimmies?

Just said he's having a tough fight. So he'll still be in, I guess, maybe fighting Freeza instead.

So spoilers also mention Goku using the Genki Dama, so I guess him vs Jiren is really going to be a repeat of Goku vs Freeza.

Quality over quantity. Take energy from the Zen-Ohs.

It's going to take hefty amounts of BS and jobbing from everyone else to explain Jiren not just attacking him immediately.

I'm catching up on the episodes I missed while I was in Japan. Just watched 104 & 105.

I find it interesting that they seemed to take the God-Blue switch and God used as a fast, less draining form from the manga though. Hit was pretty cool in the episode, the way he acted and wasn't treated like he was So Last Season. The way he completely dominated Dyspo at the end was a bit much for me, though. Overall, this was a very good episode by Super's (admittedly low) standards.

But 105, sheesh, this was garbage. Really over-the-top fanservice for a character who had already had a nice retirement, and it really sucked that they kept talking like retiring would be the absolute worst thing for the character. But that's not nearly as bad as as his fight with Caway, all the rape-y insinuations and him easily making her a joke like he did with Yurin. And I really dislike him openly cheating and the Zen-Ohs just accepting it.

The part with Goku crying over his near-death was nice, but not worth having Roshi come back or the shitty episode. Reaaaally hope that whatever comes after this doesn't try to keep shoe-horning him in.

It's funny that the Zen-O's are kind of Audience Surrogate of the arc. Because that was pretty much my mindset throughout that episode. "It's cool, so it's fine"
