This definitely lowers the stakes for a lot of them. Don't the angels need their respective god so that they don't "deactivate"?

[up]Maybe they just need someone to fulfill the God spot for their universe but if there's no universe, there's no spot to fill and they're fine?

This new development of Universes 1, 5, 8, and 12 being exempt from the tournament makes information that was prevoiusly given a whole lot more sense.

Remember when it was mentioned how there used to be 18 universes, and six were destroyed? They weren't destroyed for trivial reasons. They were CULLED for QUALITY CONTROL!!!

[up][up], [up]I still think, and this further endears, my theory the Grand Priest keeps all the inactive Angels in a closet somewhere. XD

[up]Wouldn't that make Goku look like an even bigger villain as he would be dragging four more universes that did not need to be in this tournament to be potentially destroyed, thus fulfilling our fears that he'd be indirectly reaponsible for destroying 11 universe instead of just seven?

This episode actually takes the blame off Goku, as Zen-o was planning to purge universes all along, and the tournament is just a fun way for him to decide which one to spare.

Actually, Goku isn't a villain at all going by this new information.

By asking for this tournament, he actually saved universe 7 and the others that were scheduled to be erased. He gave em all a fighting chance.

[up]not all of em.

If I found myself in the Dragon Ball universe I'd probably commit suicide. I could either be killed by the monster of the arc or a spiteful and apathetic god could decide my Universe needs to die just because.

What a nightmare world.

I love how Supreme Kai gets blamed for just sitting on his ass and leaving mortals to their own devices, when the last arc espoused that as the correct course of action. [lol]

Also important: You would never know, and, more importantly, you would be safe anyway because there's a lunatic with unbelievable power who keeps all his stuff in your world so he's gonna save it.

So, think they're still going to go with this all being Goku's fault angle? I mean, they still could.

wild mass guessGoku will still try to bring back the destroyed universe back using the Super Dragon Balls, but the Zen'Os anticipated this and told Goku outright that they will just destroy them again, wasting the wish. However, since they like Goku, the Zen'Os will allow him to bring back up to three universe and ONLY three, minus any universes weaker than 7. Goku will try to bring back universes 6 and 10 anyway since they have friends in those two places, and 11 as well since the Pride Troopers truly gave 7 such a good fight during the tourny.wild mass guess

My attention towards this has been on and off, but why let the universes get wiped and just focus on saving the inhabitants?

Also, I've been thinking Omniking is a lot less oblivious than he's made out to be and this more or less confirms it.

Well, that was a good showing for Gohan. He'd have likely won if not for the poison.

And that trick with using his own Ki as an active radar was nifty. I wonder if that idea is something all his school learning gave him. If so, score one for Chi-chi...finally.tongue

I guess that explains why the angels weren't afraid.

I remember that when the priest mentioned the terms, we never saw Whis' face. Now we know that he was fully aware of the fact that he was never actually in any danger. What a smug bastard.evil grin

This is also true.

So yeah, I guess the Goku is the big villain of the arc thing has been somewhat put to bed. That ball was already rolling, and he just steered it in a direction that resulted in less people being crushed in the process. And as is often the case, he wasn't even trying to do that. He was minding his own business, being the best Goku he could be.

Evil armies have been toppled by that innocent bumbling time and time again.

Gohan ... lost ... in the first round ... not even the first, the preliminary round of the tournament ... in his first real fight... since Beerus showed up... which was less of a fight and more of a public ass-kicking for all involved..

Hmph

Can't wait to balk at this episode and then immediately, passive-aggressively accept it for what it was.

No that's not correct, Gohan won. The Grand Priest is just a dick and declared it a tie.
