If Kefla is gone next episode, there isn't really much reason to keep U6 around any longer. Toei seems to be building up to their erasure with all of the U6 focused episodes.

From the description, this episode seems more like a more light hearted episode, before the seriousness that would be in an episode where U6 is erased would be.
Episode 117 could easily be building up for Universe 2's erasure. Why have 1 random episode inbetween all the Universe 6 episodes?

Because Toei clearly loves U6 and wants to drag out their erasure. And to have a light hearted episode before a dark episode.

It says that 2 people disappear leaving us with 27 contestants. In the latest episode it seems that 2 people will be eliminated and U4 gains new fighters?



The next phrase makes a reference to Kinnikuman, saying that it seems like the throne has been passed. I don't really get what this one is trying to say. But it reaffirms that U4 had 2 more hidden fighters.



Seems like some focus on the Cicadas.
Sources are narutoforums and YonkouProd.

Kefla is gone.

This sounds so contradictory :lol:

Yeah, from a directorial standpoint it seems a little off to have two intense episodes be interrupted by a comical one, but then again it's not like DB would care about keeping the mood consistent. And there is nothing saying that the U2 episode will be funny anyway.

If 116 and 117 also have some moments dedicated to the Piccolo/Gohan vs. U6 Namekians it might add up to the final showdown in 118. They've been making their cutaway scenes more and more intense, so it might lead to them getting their episode sooner rather that later.

Not to mention that Vegeta vs Toppo is probably ending because Vegeta is going to fight Katopesla. I don't think they will drag out the namekians that much longer too, especially if Kefla is gone.

Well, I'm looking forward to the namkians' battle the most, it's just that it lessens Piccolo's chances of making it through 119 should he be done with them in 118.

So Ribrianne will be the one to take out 18 ? i don't see why she's the one fighting her and 17 is losing his time with Rozie when i'm sure he could one shot both of them.

Considering 18 felt annoyed for getting injured and then being saved, she might try to prove herself by taking on the stronger of the two and he is letting her.
As for one-shotting Ribrianne, don't think even 17 could do that. She's been a little too featured to be one-shot-able.

What makes you think anyone from U7 is going out in 117?

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

About that argument about who got the biggest development:

Vegeta is almost in the same spot he`s always been in, behind Goku. The main development is him being a dad again. Tenshinhan opened up his own school and came back from retirement, Krillin had to deal with his nervouness and came back from retirement and Roshi had to deal with his perviness and came back from retirement.

Vegeta`s development seems more about the same whereas the others had more personal info because they haven`t been as active in the main cast for awhile. That stands out more.

If it's only these two the Androids are taking on, then I guess they won't be the deleted universe in 118, but U6 after all...

B-Plot:

Vegeta will try to imitate Ultra Instinct himself but fail, then gets attacked by Katopesla from U3. I wonder how it'll go, and whatever happens to Toppo.
You fr or you making this up?
These are from Herms twitter so no, they are not being made up.
I am At work right now and Typing from my iPhone so I have to make this quick.

While I would not call this definite and use reserved optimism, this is indeed positive news in the right direction for any fan of Universe 2!

Ribrianne and Rozie Hardly = all of universe 2 and I don’t see the other members participating. This is likely to be a two versus two and with that I think two members one from each side will be ringed out.

So indeed while this is mostly theory and the previews are always to be taken with a grain of salt, this is highly positive news for U2 fans that didn’t believe completely they where all in danger, but we still wait with reserved optimism to see what unfolds.

I’ll leave it at that and be happy about what we have right now. :)

Happy to see 17 and 18 fighting together. I like U2's Sailor Moon and Precure mash up parody so the androids battling Ribrianne and Rozie should be good. Vegeta trying to mimic UI could be humor OR it could be a plot point to reveal more about how actual UI works as there's still mystery there. Either way sounds like a fun episode.

Vegeta tries to mimic Goku in order to activate UI but fails and is attacked by Katopesla....
Ah Vegeta, you never fail to amuse me.
I'm going more with this being a gag since its Katopesla that'll attack him, he'll probably be all "Me not thinking ugh ugh *moving around like an idiot*" then Katopesla see's this and goes ape shit on him.
Katopesla: What were you trying to do?
Vegeta: I wasnt thinking
Katopesla: of what?
Vegeta: of anything.
Katopesla: .....

"In order to use Ultra Instinct, Vegeta mimics Goku and tries to act unconsciously!"
I'm still wailing on the floor at how utterly amusing this is.

That`s a world of possibilities to that sect of fandom who claims gag elements in the manga/series a joke character makes :D

Brianne vs 17 happening in episode 118 makes sense, their first fight never had a conclusion(both were equally matched), Brianne already finished her fights vs Goku and Vegeta with losses, so I think she will defeat 18 before facing 17 in her final fight before erasure.

Because it's been 10 episode since a member of U7 has been eliminated. and it makes sense for 18 right now. i don't see why U7 should have this many members on their team now.

Someone from U7 is going out in 119 for sure. Nothing is promised for 117 or 118.

Nothing was promised in Krillin, Roshi or Tien's episode when they got eliminated. 18 can get eliminated in the episode 117 or 118 and another one can get eliminated afterwards. it means nothing.

I like Vegeta, want him to get Ultra Instinct, but I'd like to see his attempt at it in next week's episode be comical as hell :lol: It already sounds funny :lol:
(I'd like UI to look different for Vegeta. Like maybe a purple aura [Garlic Cannon] instead of blue and gold eyes [Final Flash] instead of silver. Then the hypothetical Vegetto fusion gets bronze eyes to match his brown hair LOL).

So apparently, according to NarutoForums and YonkouProductions, Kefla is gone? I mean, that's not a surprise considering what the hell she's up against, but Kefla/Caulifla/Kale haters rejoice I guess...
