Can't you just imagine Goten and Trunks arguing about who should train them, then asking a random person in the street:
"Who's the best martial arts trainer in the world?"
"Why, it's Mr. Hercule Satan of course."
"Huh? Oh, okay!"

"And when the last law was down and the Devil turned round on you, where would you hide, the laws all being flat?"17 calling the tactic of tanking attacks and waiting for the opponent to tire himself stupid was the higlight of the episode.
Gohan, you had one job! After all this big talk you can't even eliminate them when given an opening?!
And of course they let Pepperioni do his thing, instead of just kicking him out of bounds.
Two predictions:
-Gohan gets eliminated soon.
-It's not U7 that beats Aniraza but Jiren who will suddenly remember he should do something in this tournament and one shots Aniraza.
Yeah, I've been thinking Jiren's going to beat Aniraza too. I'm seeing something like this:
Aniraza is stronger than Kaioken x 20 Blue Goku, but he's been paying attention throughout the tournament and doesn't want to KO Goku or Vegeta, for fear of invoking Ultra Instinct. Aniraza decides the best way to beat U7 is by destroying the arena and eliminating them that way. He also beats up the U7 team pretty thoroughly, limiting their access to their higher transformations. He eliminates 18 and 17. Jiren decides that he's not allowing Aniraza to destroy the arena and he challenges him.
Aniraza does about as well against Jiren as Kaioken x 20 Blue Goku did, if not better. He lands a few hits, but none of them do any damage. Jiren takes Aniraza down in a few hits and knocks him out of bounds with his signature blast and Badass Arm-Fold. U3 is erased. Cliff-hanger with the exhausted and battered U7 team face-to-face with the relatively fine U11 team. Vegeta steps up.

What would be the opposite of a Death Glare? Because Vegeta had a hilarious one in Battle of Gods. XD
During his random song-and-dance number, he had a super-embarrassed look on his face that made him look like he wanted to receive death rather than give it. XD
I'm pretty sure I saw more than 28 types of aliens among Frieza's troops. Also, wait what, Krillin was one of their first picks? And then they're like 'oh no Trunks and Goten are no good even though they could literally tear Krillin in two.'
Okay, guess I'll just have to admit that the tournament picks are blatant pandering.
And then they immediately suggest Master Roshi next. What the hell.

The idea was that they would go for people who have more technique; not sure how valid that was...
Also, no fusing is allowed I believe, and Krillin is stronger than either Goten or Trunks individually.
"And when the last law was down and the Devil turned round on you, where would you hide, the laws all being flat?"Huh, I forgot about that, in that case why don't U7 summon Vegeto.... OH MY GOSH IS THAT GONNA BE HOW THEY BEAT JIREN?
Oh and no, Krillin has to be stronger than an individual barely trained Super Saiyan 1 by now, he just has to be. He... he has to be?
EDIT: Oh my god, they're about 4 or 5 times stronger at least in just SSJ mode. What the fuck.

"And when the last law was down and the Devil turned round on you, where would you hide, the laws all being flat?"Looked it up, apparently by Cell Saga Krillin has 9 million while Goten has about 47 million in SSJ form (untrained).
Seriously, fuck Saiyans.

"And when the last law was down and the Devil turned round on you, where would you hide, the laws all being flat?"I wouldn't be surprised if Super wants us to think that Krillin is stronger than them, but what Super wants us to believe, and what actually makes sense based on what's been previously established often aren't the same thing.
I don't know where you got those power levels from, but they're bullshit. For one, no official numerical power levels were given after the Namek Saga. Two, there's no reason to think that Krillin ever actually got that high. Three, Goten would have to be way stronger than that as a Super Saiyan.

That would only be the tip of the iceberg in things Super does that don't make sense. At least you could simply say that Krillin made up 43 million power via training, or something. That's simply hugely implausable.
Trunks performs the friggin Genki Dama while not knowing how then *forms it into a sword* all while using a fake SSB form that has still not been properly explained.

Unofficial calculations (of course, unreliable, but I just needed something to give me a ballpark figure).

"And when the last law was down and the Devil turned round on you, where would you hide, the laws all being flat?"Either way, I don't see what's so hugely ridiculous at Krillin getting to 9 million via training. That seems more like a justification for him to be able to see the moves of the people fighting since his power level could be 10'000 and it wouldn't make a difference to the combat feats he does.

"And when the last law was down and the Devil turned round on you, where would you hide, the laws all being flat?"This isn't just a contest of strength. It's a tournament with rules. My guess is that Goku assumed that Goten and Trunks would just spend too much time fucking around instead of focusing on the task at hand (that is, going for ringouts).
Also, Krillin has years of tournament experience. He's used to fighting in a setting in which a) the goal is to knock your opponent out of the ring, and b) killing will get you disqualified (or in this case, zapped out of existence).
I agree that maybe Krillin shouldn't have been their first choice, but he wasn't a bad one, and he ended up doing kinda well all things considered (one knockout, two assists and one save).
No beer?! But if there's no beer, then there's no beef or beans!

Everything's better with humorous comedy.
