I dunno, I don't expect any of the "major" characters from Universe 6 or 7 to be bumped off until Jiren goes on his expected rampage and cleans house.

... You know wouldn't it be funny if Goku goes into his "Limit Break" form, only for Jiren to lay him out in one punch? Then we spend the rest of the tourney with Goku unconscious while everyone else tries the heck to survive?

If by "funny", you mean "nonsensical", then yes.

By the way, I found something neat the other day.

[up]x5 I'm sure you're joking but given that we know Gohan's sticking around for a while do you think no-one else is going to be eliminated before then?

We know that? So we have confirmation he won't be eliminated in the next episode or the special?

Wasn't he in the summary for the episode making up the second half of the special? I assumed we'd lose some people in the first half

I think Piccolo will stick around long enough for him to repeat a sacrifice again so Gohan can get a power-up because that's how things are going now.

Soooo, 18's probably the next to go.

Maybe all this plotting backfires and Freeza is out next.

So Gohan gets Super Saiyan Blue? Would that get merged into the power of his Mystic state or would it become its own thing?

Mystic Blue? Sure, I could dig it, even though it sounds like a new brand of Pepsi.

No, I mean, would its power become a part of Mystic just like the rest of Gohan's power and potential, or would it stay as its own separate form?

I don't think you can get Blue from getting angry. The form doesn't work like the normal SS levels.

I feel like if he were to get another power-up, it'd be a new form with a different visual for hype and marketing.

Have him attain a new power and use it through his Mystic form might make sense but it's not as cool.

People have come up with concepts like "Mystic 2" and the like that have no rationalization behind what they actually are.

I don't think anyone other than Goku is getting a new form during the tournament.

Oh, I agree. It's just something Super might do later.

Well of course, new forms mean new merchandise.

I did say before that the eliminations would go in terms of "tiers"; the Androids are likely next, then Piccolo, then Frieza, and the Saiyans will likely be the last three survivors against Jiren, Toppo, and Dypso.

Imagine if they actually have Goku be the next to be taken out, and that for this arc he's a Decoy Protagonist. I could see it that Goku and Jiren end up having a double knock-out and Gohan becomes the new focus

Piccolo is above androids? Did I miss an episode or what?

Also, Piccolo and Freeza are obvious next, since they are bald.

[up][up] That'd kill a lot of the hype for his new form.

[up] I mean, in terms of Popularity Power yea. We all know Super runs on that, so it's not an unfounded outcome.

Wasn't it a joke in DBZ and GT for the fans to assume the actual deciding factor in battles was how much hair a characters had? Or was that just the people where I live, I've seen surpising little use of the joke on the internet.

I think it might be interesting if U7 doesn't win at all. Not because the main characters always winning is boring necessarily, but moreso because, since 7 can't be erased without ending the show, that means there's almost certainly an escape hatch that could not only save them but restore the others as well. Leaving them destroyed would be far too bleak for this franchise.

Who knows, maybe Gohan makes GT semi-canon by having whatever new form he gets be Super Saiyan 4, under a different name.

You laugh now, but they already made LSSJ a thing with Kale.

Pretty sure Dyspo's gonna get taken out before Freeza (and maybe Piccolo.) He's been making reckless moves frequently, and in Super (and by extension, Resurrection F) Freeza's been taking advantage of his opponents letting their guard down quite a lot.

I'm honestly hoping that this arc leads into one where the U7 team is stuck in another universe, preferably one that was supposedly destroyed. A "Universe Escape Arc", if you will. Having them lose the tournament might be one way to do that.
