The arc supposedly ends in March, not the TOP. Meaning that could include wrap-up and breather episodes like the Future Trunks Saga, which officially ended in February despite the story being done in November.

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.

She has had enough screen time already and she will transform after she gets angry after 17 has kncoked out both Rozie and Kakunsa. 17 will then join the fight with 18 to knock her out of the ring.

I Honestly want him to fight Dyspo. but you never know there might be other characters who are very strong hidden in the tournament and are still there for a reason.
You basically have the Bugs, Robots and Pride troopers left if 17 gets anything after his fight with Universe 2.
I want 18 out mainly because i really want 17 and Piccolo to team up. i'd be disappointed if they don't interact further.

Same. When 17 and Piccolo shook hands in respect for one another before the tournament began I was hoping it was a foreshadowing that they would team up. I'm tired of the predictable team ups, 17 and Piccolo did very briefly work together against Cell but Piccolo was depleted at that point.

If there is anything predictable about this tournament, its the team ups. 17 and 18, Gohan and Piccolo is too damn easy. Mix it up Toei/Toriyama!

Also it is HIGHLY Unlikely Just By the Title if we have not forgotten "A Universe Vanishes" not Universe"S" and a Focus on the "A", by Grammar alone it states just 1 is going not 2 and usually the Titles are pretty good at giving us the 411 on what is the main focus.

So by that "A" alone, I say it is just 1 Universe Going Likely.

I can be wrong as always yes, but then that would mean the title is a lie and would be stated that way for a long time to come.
Japanese doesn't really have plurals so "a Universe" is a translation choice. The actual title doesn't give any hints about that.

Not Really, Ribrianne is not done with her story arc, so whether you like her or not she will get more screen time to finish that arc like they did with Caulifla and Kale, they went threw their whole character arc before they where gone. This is not guarantied but likely by how much time they have put into her character already, the ones that get the most that are new characters are the ones that get the development.

It is also Very Hard story-wise to see a Mega Tranformation happen and it not to run its course for sometime, just 1/2 of 117 and 118 would be sad that that is all they give by just story justification alone.

Toei built Magical Girls and by that is seems likely they want to give Brianne time to show what she can do, they need to also make the Final 10 somewhat interesting with character we have come to know, it being nearly ALL U7 and U11 would be a a waste for the ToP for denying variety.

I am certain that those translations to make it plural was put in their for a reason, but even if not still it hard to see Toei axing 2 Universes at one, taking down both story-wise 2 Universes so fast and denying what variety we can have in the climax when they ahve build-up some of these characters.

You need Gohan to go out then since he won't leave Piccolo alone.

I just want Piccolo to have a fight that doesn't include Gohan for once.

Not going to happen they are not creative enough. It doesn't help when 1 out of each pair gets a lot more glory than the other.

The Androids and Magical Girls are not Saiyans so they dont get the screen time.

This is quite the race, just when you hear Gohan and Piccolo gonna fight in an ep where a universe goes poof, you read Goku ringing out members of U2... I'm siddin with both U2 and U6 going poof, that'd be somethin new and literally adds more drama.

It would be a waste, wicked that is.

I don't see that happening at this point, I think to many fans are getting ahead of themselves on this one theory when we thought one time the Jiren would KO half of the ring in the special, yea look at that. :crazy:

Allot is pointing to U6 going, a waste yes but not 2 Universes at least. Brianne's New Transformation will likely be giving time to show itself off, so it is unlikely she is going anywhere even if the rest of her team is gone maybe.

Again all theories, but the 2 Universes thing seems like a major stretch to happen and be a killer in the character hype and building areas of this story.

The only way Brianne gets to survive is if she runs away, she will be by herself vs 17, Freeza, Goku(despite being worn out), she only wanted to take out Goku because he was alone and tired, and now there has to be a change of plans, she isnt stupid like Caulifla...

It definitely seems like it's going to be both, the namekians are going to be the main focus for once. While U2 is confirmed to lose Zarbuto, Rabanra, Zirloin, and Rozie.

Unless Ribrianne is kept around until the end of the tournament to keep trolling people; it will be both.

Rozie is going out this saturday.

Brianne got angry when Vikal and Kakunza got eliminated, and it makes sense if she gets a powerup due to Rosie getting eliminated.

They are just going to give the last 2 fighters of Universe 6 an average fight and they won't even tell us a thing about Universe 6 Namekians. If it is just a standard fight then I will probably join the group that wants Piccolo to fuse with them ecen though I hate Namekian fusion Their inclusion would have just been pointless otherwise.

One of Zarbuto, Rabanra ot Zirloin is a Tuffle but will be wasted just like Jimeze who is a Yardratian. I am going to predict that Ribrianne's transfromation will be wasted and she will be gone in the same episode just like Ganos.

The list is just endless. Toriyama needs to write his characters better and the person who structured this arc is absolutely useless. Toyotaro also needs to notice this and ask to change things like he did with the Future Trunks arc especailly as he thinks about 'fans expectations'. They have definitly wasted most of the potential that this arc had.
