Cabba is going to be interesting. Hilarious as it would be, it would take a lot of unreasonable authorial fiat for Cabba, who doesn't even know the Super Saiyan is a thing until he finds out from Goku and Vegeta, to somehow be more powerful than SSGSS Vegeta.

Which doesn't mean he won't beat Vegeta, just that if he does, it's probably going to be something tricky like what Frost did to Goku. Toriyama has to have something tricky and inventive planned for Cabba; why would a Saiyan who can't even transform beyond Base Form even be in this tournament?

He could easily be like Ultimate Gohan was.

He could, but that would still be So Last Season. He's fighting Vegeta.

  • GOHAN: I'm now as strong as you were when we fought on Earth!
  • VEGETA: Congratulations! That means you're still weaker than the last two guys I killed.
  • GOHAN: ...wow. Now I know what it feels like to be Krillin.
  • KRILLIN: Sucks, don't it?

Which still wouldn't put him anywhere near SSB Vegeta.

Actually Red tells Tao that he can kill anyone who gets in his way and he will be paid for it. So Tao was going to be paid for killing Bora.

Cabba could have an Ultimate form that is stronger than Gohan since Ultimate Gohan isn't really a form, but Gohan with all of his latent power unlocked. And he may beat Vegets using skill and technique, just like how Piccolo nearly beat Frost.

The most powerful doesn't always win.

Monaka will face Hit, that much is certain.

Having the final fight of this thing be between two characters we know barely anything about will be weird. I suppose at least the one from Universe 6 will probably be sticking around, though.

Well it's either that or Vegeta solos the rest of the tournament. Not saying he couldn't do it, but that would upset people even more than getting 2 or 3 wins.

Eh, the way this thing was set up weird to begin with. Vegeta suggesting a writing portion, apparently only to spite Goku, and then being surprised when Goku almost fails and Buu did fail seemed weird.

I'm predicting Vegeta beating Frost, beating Cabba, then losing badly to Magetta. Monaka wrecks Magetta then has an epic battle with Hit.

Anyone beating Goku or Vegeta through 'skill' is completey stupid. Goku and Vegeta aren't Unskilled, but Strong, they're insanely strong and two of the most skilled people in the universe.

MORE DETAILED SUMMARIES BELOW!

Episode 35

Summary 1: In the tournament between Universe 6 and 7, Frost, from Universe 6, who defeated both Son Goku and Piccolo was confirmed to have stealthily used a poison needle and was disqualified. But, an angry Vegeta says Frost doesn't need to be disqualified since he'll defeat him.

Summary 2: The real identity of Frost, the hero of Universe 6 who crushed both Goku and Piccolo, was that of an horrible man that started wars and bought the ravaged lands by a cheap price. "I'll defeat this bastard with my own hands", said Vegeta with an imposing smile.

Episode 36

Summary 1: The new "if you touch the barrier, even in midair, it''s an out-of-bonds loss" rule was established after the battle of Vegeta versus Frost. Meanwhile, Vegeta, being cornered by the attacks of his next opponent Magetta, the Metalman from Universe 6, turned Super Saiyajin to aim for a turn of tables but...

Summary 2: Vegeta defeated Frost with one merciless attack. But, a new rule was established for the remaining maches. From now on, as soon as one touches the barrier, even in midair, it will be an "out-of-bounds loss". The next opponent of Vegeta is Magetta, the Metalman. With a sturdy body and diverse attacks, he gets Vegeta cornered...

Episode 37

Vegeta's next opponent is the Saiyajin from Universe 6, Cabba. Cabba shows he figths evenly with Vegeta even in base but says he can't transform into a Super Saiyajin.

So it seems like Cabba is really strong in base. Though Vegeta might be a bit tired after his fight with robot dude, but still.

Let me take those summaries with a grain of salt, after all the "Leaked episode titles" turned out to be totally false.

You don't need to be Strong, but Unskilled to lose to a more skilled fighter. It's filler, but Goku beat Pikkon despite him being extremely skilled by taking advantage of his ultimate attack's weakness. And if Cell couldn't regenerate, Goku would have killed him with the Warp Kamahama.

Goku being super skilled doesn't mean that Vegeta losing due to 'skill' isn't complete bullshit.

This isn't the start of a manga where the characters are still getting used to their powers and shit.

It's like Goku getting caught off guard. The characters are long past that kind of flaw in their fighting abilities.

Even the most skilled of fighters can be caught off guard by a new and unfamiliar fighting style.

Yeah, you don't ever completely stop making mistakes. Properly framed, "getting caught off guard" can make total sense.

As someone who studies martial arts and know several real world black belts, there is no such thing as, 'outgrowing being caught off-guard'. Even people who have been masters for decades can be blindsided if they're not careful. People are fallible and there is no prefect martial artist, not even in fiction. It would be more BS to say that Vegeta is a perfect fighter.

And Vegeta has been taking off-guard recently like him failing to stop Frieza from blowing up the Earth. He maybe more self-aware about his weaknesses, but to say that he can never to caught off-guard again is just not possible from a real world point-of-view.

Yes, he was seen failing in the same movie in which Goku was caught off guard.

Goku, who can feel the smallest ki on the other side of the world, was caught off guard.

You can say whatever you want, but the fact of the matter is, these people should not be making these mistakes.
