Aw, theres a sink one? I was hoping the pride trooper with a sink name pun would sit out the tournament and show up later.

Nope. They even say that they're leaving U11 to the newbies while the tournament happens so they got everyone in there, the whole team. All the Pride Troopers, including the kitchen sink.

Plot twist: all the Pride Troopers are gay.

Isn't that usually assumed with flamoyant characters in spandex? That wouldn't be much of a plot twist. Then again that reveal always feels obvious in hindsight for me.

So, off topic, but does anyone here want the next arc to involve team universe 7 stuck in another universe? I'm interested in seeing these 10 interacting and coroperating outside of the tournament, like would frieza sabatoge his deal with goku if he didn't have clear rules to follow? Would we see a new side to 17 or 18 when they realize they might not be able to get home for a while?

YO, SPOILERS FOR EPISODE 115! It's just a provisional title but it hints at something BIG: "Goku vs Kafla". So remember how some people were theorizing about the U6 girls fusing?

I know there are people begging for a U6 arc. Would be interesting, I guess.

Just wondering who or what the villain would be.

That sounds like horrible fanfiction. [lol]

And Universe 3 probably doesn't have a naming theme, since Maji-Kayo is a word pun while Paparoni is a deli meat, unless you can think of some kind of relation between those.

Actually, it does...kind of. Half the Universe 3 fighters have names related to Italian cuisine.

Paparoni - Pepperoni

Narirama - Marinara

Nigrisshi - Grissini

Catopesra - Pescatora (or possibly caprese)

Biarra - Arrabbiata

So it's something Super would do then.

I was just thinking the Namekians might fuse, but lol nope. Now the question becomes how did they learn the technique, or were they...holding back.

Pretty much all of Super could qualify if it didn't have any basis in canon......sad

I think it's something to do with Dr. Rota, personally. Either he is a Metamoran who taught them how to fuse and Goku just didn't recognize him, or he's going to do something from the stands to fuse the two together. We know Zen-Oh would totally be okay with that, too, since he didn't even comment on Kakunsa helping to power up Ribrianne into Super Ribrianne or on Krillin, Tenshinhan, and Roshi donating energy to the Spirit Bomb.

Or how about that part where they turned a Journey To The West homage, martial arts series, into Sci-Fi? Sun Wukong an alien? Please!

Are there people who actually hate the fact that Goku is an alien?

To be fair, Dragon Ball was Sci-Fi from the very beginning. It was also a martial arts manga. it was also partially a gag manga. Dragon Ball was a lot of things.

The futuristic tech never got enough of a focus to really consider it sci-fi...

That was apart of its 2010 charm.

Think anything will come from Vegeta vs. Toppo?

...hard to tell. This is Vegeta we're talking about. He exists to never quite be better than Goku for all his efforts.

Goku was about equal with Toppo when using just Blue, and I'd assume Vegeta is in the same ballpark, but it would be just classic for him to fail to win for one reason or another.

Speaking of, Caulifa and Kale having three focus episodes in a row probably means they aren't long to stay in.

Toppo is probably the strongest fighter who Vegeta can believably ring out so I'd say that he can pull it off. Either that or Toppo ends up jobbing to Ultimate Instinct.
