Wait, is Heresu human (with the exception of the stereotypical bare midriff, digging the Nefertari look btw)? That's interesting...

Actually, since Beerus and Champa appear to be the same species as one of the Universe 11 fighters, the Gods of Destruction don't appear to necessarily originate from their own Universe, so it would actually be really awesome if Helles was actually an Earthling from U6 (before the war) or U7.

I won't get my hopes up. After all, Goku is an alien, so Helles could be one as well.

@Pushover: That's been my theory for ages. NONE of the Gods of Destruction are assigned their universe of origin, and it is also possible for more than one God of Destruction to be from the same universe of origin. Unless there is an actual race out that look like clowns, methinks Velmont may be the only true human among them. Helles only looks human.

So, in the wake of the reveal of the names of the Gods of destruction, and the fact that one of the teams is a full on super hero team that may end up thinking Goku's team are a bunch of villains (and most of them are former villains so it's not too out there)...

All I can pay attention to is the fact that 12 gods of destruction and only one of them is female.

I mean, it shouldn't be a big deal, but for me, it is for some reason.

Also:

It just honestly and genuinely bothers me that one of the Kais could be such a greedy/smug snake type character. Then again I'm just sick of asshole gods or higher power/status authority figures in fiction.

It would be nice if we could get a decent and competent higher tier being that isn't omniscent and all powerful, but thanks to the wisdom and their experience can from time to time actually be competent in the role they're in.

See I can get this, as I've harped on this quite often myself. That being said:

except it's not that common at all. In fact, most of the Supreme Kais aren't like that.

This is also true. Out of all the Supreme Kais, so far, only one is shown to be a dick. Zamasu gets an honorary mention though.

It is a trope that gets used often however, and I admit I'm rather sick of it myself, which is probably why I'm so overly sensitive to it even in situations where it's not as big a deal as it seems.

Anyway, shit gets real, Gohan will hopefully kick some ass soon, and Goku is the biggest villain in the multiverse.

No problems here.tongue

Double post:

I just realized that it's very dangerous to have Goku as one of the fighters.

This is a guy so obsessed with a fair fight that he'll gives his opponent a chance to power up, will help heal them, and will refuse outside help during battle even in situations where doing so endangers everyone.

And with the fate of his entire universe in his hands, it's not a good time for Goku to be Goku. It'd be interesting if he actually lost a fight because of it, and put his whole universe in a bad situation (on top of the others finding out he caused the entire situation in the first place).

I'm curious as to whether they'll explore this idea.

That's quite scary indeed. He gave up last time because Hit couldn't fight at his full potential.

Not necessarily with all of the people on it.

The only thing that would really have been lost would be access to the Namekian Dragon Balls which they might also have had on the Universe 6 equivalent. Also training with Beerus and Whis but that only really affects Goku and Vegeta and I'm sure Champa could have been convinced.

Though if Earth was moved, then Zamasu never would've been stopped.

And even if Universe 7 wins (which it will, let's be real here), it'll mean the annihilation of all eleven other universes. Quintillions of lives destroyed, all because Goku couldn't keep his mouth shut about that tournament idea.

That's gotta weigh heavily on his conscience.

I don't think that part's really set in yet, and I don't think it will set in until the first Universe is actually destroyed.

Anyone got a guess on how long this arc will be?

Cause damn looking at all the contestants & considering any possible hypothetical factor that can affect the tournament this could go on for a long-ass while.

I'm expecting 40+ episodes, since that's how many episodes the Dark Tournament had, and that had half the number of combatants per team this does.

Reminds me of how Kinnikuman ended with a six-team tournament arc that lasted 114 chapters, or 46 episodes in the anime. I mean, I actually hope this arc lasts for a good while.

@Rob: Given how the arc has been going so far I do think Goku is going to learn to cut back on that kind of behavior.

It seems Toppo is the strongest since he's a candidate to be a God of Destruction.

[up] Huh interesting. I wonder what's gonna set off Goku's rivalry with his subordinate then.

Also if this arc is really gonna last a long time then Super better bring its A-game. In my opinion Universe 7 is looking to be the hypest arc ever & appears fucking awesome but damn if there gonna have to work there asses off to make this shit excel.

Considering that the last 2 sagas have been about 20 episodes and this saga has it's own opening, It'd be safe to say around 40 episodes, maybe more.

Say, is it just me, or did they really mess up how Ultimate Gohan should look like? Because it looks like they stuck Vegeta's ginormous forehead on him.
