Aha maybe this is what he meant when he said I am writing a cool Vegeta :)
Too early for that episode to appear I think as he only finished writing it about 3 weeks ago.
Well maybe but it would still be 3 weeks from now. But if it isn't Toshio seems to write Vegeta a lot. Not that I mind as I love Vegeta and Toshio tends to write some great stuff.

I've been enjoying Toshio's Vegeta stuff as of late. He feels like the most solid writer of this arc.

Yeah, I believe he's written episodes 99, 104 and 107, all of which are in my top 5 for this arc. In my opinion, aside from the whole "Super Saiyan God out of nowhere" thing, he's been solid this tournament.

Love Toshio. 104 and 107 were great. I have a feeling I'll really enjoy episodes 109-112 and 115 a lot.

Re: Ribrianne's arrows two weeks from now

The only precure I can recall having a bow-and-arrow attack was Smile's Cure Beauty's ice arrows - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBRXPv4hXBc though it's possible I'm forgetting someone else.

If we're going back further into Toei's catalogue, Sailor Mars had a fire arrow attack (flame sniper) that used a bow and arrow.

I completely missed the boat on DoReMi (the other big one chronologically in-between Sailor Moon and Precure. It was too late for me to follow on TV, too early for me to watch online), so I have no idea if they used bows and arrows at any point.

Unless it has something to do with Limit Break form, the ssjg bit was fanservice, but I really like ssjg so I myself enjoyed it. :mrgreen:

Anyone knows this thing's name in japanese? Borareta's name may be based on it because of his arms kinda look like this.

I don't see Whis willingly to give energy to Goku (he is neutral about U7 erasure) the same about guys like Vegeta and Freeza giving, let alone other universes that are competing to survive, but I'm curious for how they will handle that.

OH! They're clackers! I remember them as cheap prize toys you'd see down the shore or in party stores for kids' gift bags. (Though to be fair the ones I recall were plastic and had handles; the one in the image above looks more formidable.)

Wikipedia says they're called boleadoras in Spanish; boleadora and borareta sound similar enough.

I could see Vegeta saving Hit from Jiren because Vegeta wants his rematch with Hit and doesnt want Jiren to "touch his prey". Although Vegeta might get humbled, what if Veggie asks Freeza for help or Freeza offers Vegeta to help him?

We need more Vegeta/Freeza interactions imo.

Nothing will actually change..

He can't exactly borrow it from unwilling people either, Goku convincing them in the heat of the moment might happen I guess, but it's not very likely..

Based on the spoilers we know does anyone else think we won't see the Namekians until Hit and 3 Saiyans are out.

Possible. Though those U6 Saiyans possibly will get an episode in 115, while Hitto has a chance of going out in 111. We don't know anything about 113 (which could involve the U6 Saiyans instead of 115), and then there's 114 that's an unknown to us right now.

I'd say the chance is fair, but too early to make any other guesses.

Well it says the power of Jiren makes everyone lose their shit. Its possible every one will realize they can't beat Jiren and that Goku is a lesser threat though still powerful and lend energy.

So the special is 109 and 110 together, how are the episode threads gonna be displaying that?
Single thread named 109&110, as the "special" or two different threads of 109 and 110 ( not very likely )..

Yeah, they might..
But here's the thing, once Goku sucks most of the Genki out, everyone will be in no condition to move, let alone fight, and Goku needs to suck it all out if he thinks this stupid idea will work..
Then again, only earthlings were severely exhausted if my memory serves right, maybe the tough guys simply endure it?

Episode 109-110 are the Goku and Jiren special episodes
Episode 111- is titled Hit Vs Jiren
Episode 112- titled Vegeta's resolve (written by Toshio)
Episode 113- titled Fighting Maniac Saiyan Battle- Well this could be any Saiyans although Fighting Maniac does make me think of Kale

Unless I am mistaken the only thing we know about 115 is that it is another episode written by Toshio.

These episode titles are exactly why the Namekians might not even appear until the rest of team Universe 6 has been knocked out the ring. Episode 111 just seems like the end of Hit and Toshio did say it is going to be a violent battle.

It should be one thread as everything will probably get messed up otherwise.

I wouldn't want to rush them, but shouldn't we be getting a trailer with content from the double episode soon?

Not that I want one as unintentionally comical as the one comparing the Luffy and Sanji fight to De Vinci's The Last Supper and Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, but One Piece did at least get their ads out at a good pace.

Honestly without a weekly manga to base it off of I don't have enough info to make a wild comparison advertisement to with this upcoming special.

The Namekians of Universe 6 do seem like a mystery so maybe they are saving them up for something special. I don't think Hit will be gone soon but I could be wrong. I mean I don't think Goku will be done after his battle with Jiren so its possible that Hit won't be eliminated just yet either. Although if too many characters go against Jiren who is supposedly super strong and they aren't eliminated that might not be the best choice either.

As for the Saiyans of U6 I am not sure. Cabba (as much as I hate to admit this since he's a favorite of mine) seems the most likely to be eliminated from U6 next. At only SSJ his base level is too low to really stay on much longer in my opinion. Caulifla at SSJ2 may last a bit longer but I also think her time will be up soon. Kale is definitely the most powerful of the U6 Saiyans but there are definitely a bunch of characters in the tournament who can beat her even if it isn't an easy fight. Actually it would be interesting to me if Caulifa goes before Kale since Kale emotionally relies so much of Caulifla.
