The only indication that Super Saiyan 2 has stamina issues is Toriyama saying that Goku will probably stick to Super Saiyan 1 from now on in an interview back when Battle of Gods had just come out.

That comeback from Toppo was the best line of the whole series, that's TFS levels of meta lolol. And hey, I called them fighting at one point too.

To be honest, after reading the latest chapter, I'm quite curious about how the tournament will proceed in the manga. Or the recruitment. Toppo vs Goku left me a good aftertaste.

"Of course I'm scared... of my own infinite potential!" - Caulifla is the best thing that came out of this arc, and no one can convince me otherwise. [lol]

Man, being Cabba is suffering, first he struggles against a random "fodder of the week" and even after getting a pep talk from Vegeta and going SSJ 2 he is then quickly eliminated by Freeza.

At least he has trust in Caulifla and Kale to hold the line. Those two are U6 only hope.

Vegeta vs Toppo, a battle of second fiddles. Toppo already has an advantage from the start, he burned Vegeta pretty well.

Lol, Caulifla made a short work of those robots. Goku vs Caulifla round 2! And we'll finally see SSJ 3 again! It was quite some time.

And in this scenario it makes sense too. U6 is the only universe Vegeta had made a connection to.

No, the saiyans are the ones Vegeta has made a connection to.

I think Universe 6 might be the next one out, they've been losing too many people too quickly. They've lost a guy in almost every episode after Raichi.

And the only ones left are Caulifa, Kale, and the two Namekians. The question now becomes who's gonna do the deed and how much damage can they do before they go out.

If I'm right, at this point, 7 has the most people doesn't it?

[up]Yep and 7 is currently doing the best in the tournament.

#66613: Oct 22nd 2017 at 8:33:00 AM

Yep.

U7 is in the lead with 7, followed by U3 with 6, U2 with 5, U6 with 4, and U11 and U4 both with 3. There is a total of 28 remaining fighters.

U7 also is in the lead in terms of eliminations, having eliminated 33 out of 52 fighters, while U6 is a distant second at 12 eliminations. U3 and U4 have yet to eliminate any fighter, and U10 was erased without managing to eliminate anybody.

Oh, and Vegeta remains the MVP, as he eliminated 6 fighters by himself and 3 more in a tag team with Goku (who is the 2nd MVP, with 3 KO on his own and 3 with Vegeta).

Hell, U9 as a whole was eliminated by U7. And both U6 and U2 lost half their teams to U7.

The home team seems to be a good bet, Jiren nonwithstanding.

I know they're the main character's, but jeez.

They have almost 3x as many eliminations than second place.

If tournament was bases solely on numbers and stats than U11 looks terrible,Vegeta is the mvp, and characters like Cabba /Roshi did better than Hit.

I wouldn't exactly call Monna "random fodder of the week" either. She's the most powerful fighter we've seen out of U4 yet.

She's a random fodder of the week because she never did anything before the week she got eliminated in. I'm pretty sure she didn't even get any speaking lines before.

She showed up occasionally in reaction shots. Just because a character is only relevant in one episode doesn't mean they're fodder, otherwise Krillin and Tenshinhan would count as fodder. Given her power shown, it's clear that Monna is one of U4's heavy hitters, just by virtue of being stronger than 7/10ths of the team so far.

Krillin and Ten kinda were fodder, though.

Hey, now, Krillin left the tournament with one elimination, two assists and one save. That's a better record than the majority of the fighters who've been eliminated so far.

Many people would call Krillin and Tien fodders, but both of them actually eliminated someone, which is more than can be said for Monna, or in fact anyone in the U4. Being on top of a group with zero effectiveness is hardly something to write home about.

Besides, Krillin and Tien are preexisting characters, so they can't be a random fodder of the week - a character that only get any focus for a single episode just so they can be eliminated during it.

Well no, they aren't random fodder. They were just there to do a thing and get eliminated. They were this arc's mauve shirts, I guess.
