Especially if the Pride Troopers are a serious bunch then that be a good contrast.

It'd make them the Batman to Vermoud's Joker.

Huh. I think that's the first time I've ever seen a photo of Akira Toriyama.

I really need to read the entire manga some day. Every scan I see is blurry as heck.

New details about the Tournament of Power:

Universe 1, 12 ,5 and 8 are all exempt from the tournament as the average quality of mortals are high (At least over 7). All the other universes are below with Universe 9 being the lowest (1.86) with 7 being the 2nd worst (3.18). The whole tournament is just an excuse for the Omni King to get rid of the crappy universes as he said that there were just too many. The winning Universe will be spared of course.

Seriously.

Is all of this coming from reddit?

Is there a backalley somewhere and a guy who sells information about upcoming anime episodes?

It's all in the new episode.

[down] Herms usually translates the new episodes as they air. He's very credible source from my experience.

So, assuming this is true, Goku's kind of just a scapegoat to add pretext to something Omni-king already wanted to do?

Where did that information come from and is the source reliable?

Gonna need to watch the new episode sometime soon, then.

Does this lower the stakes or raise them?

This makes Universe 9 and 7 the weakest.

Ah, OK, so stakes are still high then.

Makes me wonder how strong the other universes are, then.

I don't think it changes anything in regards to the stakes.

So much for using the Dragon Balls to wish back the destroyed universes. The Omni King would just re-destroy them as well as the "offending" universe.

They're aren't talking about strength, they're talking about the quality of mortals in general.

From the sounds of things it's more along the lines that 1/5/8/12 have tons of planets filled with strong warriors, while the likes of Universe 9 and 7 have all their strong warriors stuck on one planet. And it could very well be that Goku/Vegeta fill the scale up quite a lot.

Considering how Goku and Vegeta swept the six versus seven tournament, and how the Saiyan's of the latter didn't even know about Super Saiyan until Vegeta told them, I find it odd to think that the universe Goku and Vegeta came from (which has fighters like Gohan, Buu, and formerly Frieza and Cell) has low quality mortals.

Though the Saiyans and that bunch are all standouts.

Edit: [nja]'ed, and it's all explained in the above posts. Never mind.

[up]x5 Easy workaround. Add on to the wish "Prevent all universes from being destroyed by Zen-O."

In any case, I can not see Unvierse 6 being destroyed. Too much work was put into developing it and it would make Cabba's story pointless.

Also just in case anyone doubted this, the Crunchyroll subs say the same thing.

Oh and it was also revealed that while the Gods of Destruction and the Supreme Kais of the losing universes will be destroyed with them, the Angels will be spared.

And of course, since only eight universes will be participating it will be easy to make tournament brackets.
