There should be one this week since the break comes the week after 106.

If it does end in November then that is still plenty of time dor the Namekians. The Nigrisshi thing is obviously Toei and their nonsense hype.

What is the Nail treatment?

Toriyama is not going to create 2 Namekians just to make a joke out of them, unless he wants to make Piccolo fans go completely mad.


Stop putting Piccolo in this low tier for no reason and why would Piccolo only have 1 big fight episode as anyone but Goku coulf be in this low category. Why does no one say this about 18 who is definitely weaker than Piccolo. It just proves people want him to fail so they can make a joke or to say 'I was right'.

Badass namekians being used to hype how strong the main antagonist is(Like kinda Nail was to Freeza in the namek Saga), I bet that Namekians duo vs Piccolo fight will get interrupted by either Jiren or Toppo.

I disagree. Kale has a much bigger role to play later on, or else they wouldn't've given her the ability to control her form, and Caulilfa's obviously getting a higher form.

Will one of them be ringed-out as setup? Sure, but I'm gonna bet Kale's gonna be alone with Hit before U6's annihilation.

Kale already had 2 episodes focused on her development, I think it will Cauliflas turn to shine later on. I have the feeling Kale will job to a powered up Ribrianne.

Hit raised a big losing flag when he mentioned that he will reach it the finals, he might get eliminated before cracking the Final 10(Vegeta, 17 also risk to being eliminated sooner than expected).

There is no way in hell Hitto won't reach the final 10, he can easily crack the top 5. The finalists will be: Jiren, Toppo, Hitto Kale, Goku, Vegeta and Frieza, A-17, Frost and Gohan.

Piccolo having some one-on-two philosophical harangue that's based on the respective evolutionary processes of the Namekians in Universe 6 compared with 7 and how he grew to be so powerful is the most I would expect from Piccolo individually. Toriyama and Toyotaro don't appear to have any special plans in mind for him. Why? Who can say. Maybe they feel trying to elevate his power to comparable levels with the Saiyans is too big a literary hurdle that they don't wish to put on their shoulders. Maybe they feel enough characters are having longevous writing commitments provided to them so adding any more isn't necessary. Hell! Maybe it's something small like not wanting to take the time to consistently draw all of the seamed intricacies of his arms and chest. Whatever the cause may be, I'm keeping tempered expectations with him.

If Piccolo can get even a tenth of the quality screentime that the Saiyans have been receiving then I would consider that to be a job well done, given the state of affairs we've devolved into.

Can time manipulation be learned or is it special ability users only..
Whis should have learnt it from somewhere.. unless every angle has it..

We need a 3 or 4 episode leak now!

Not until about 7th September.

How do you find out when they come out?

How do you find out when they come out?

It's usually around 10th of each month, but usually they leak earlier.

There is no way in hell Hitto won't reach the final 10, he can easily crack the top 5. The finalists will be: Jiren, Toppo, Hitto Kale, Goku, Vegeta and Frieza, A-17, Frost and Gohan.

Why would there be 5 fighters from Universe 7? Gohan, Frost and Kale will be useless here. This will definitely not be the final 10 for the tournament.

Gohan useless? I don't think so buddy.
And people are really underestimating Kale.

[sintzu]

Who do you think will reach the top 10 ? Goku, Vegeta, Freeza, Hit, Toppo & Jerin are pretty much gaurenteed. They've been keeping quite on the Namakiens so I'd assume one would make it. I'd put Kale there based on her taking on Blue Goku but they're very inconsistant with its power and said that fat thing was on her and Jerin's level yet the gap between the 3 of them is huge.

In a battle with the rest, he is useless and there is too much false hype being created from nothing. If he did well in this last 10 it would be because he had help.

We have seen everything Kale can do and it is not good enough to do any real damage to the top fighters.

I am thinking who will be able to do something in the final battles. Kale will not be able to do anything against Goku, Frieza, Jiren and Toppo and will she even be able to fight properly without Caulifla? If a Universe 6 Namekian does make it than it will probably be Saonel.

The guarantees for the last 10 I think are Jiren, Toppo, Hit Goku and Frieza.

The negativity seems to be getting even worse. When it comes to having too many characters then that is a bad excuse since that just brought back Frieza and 17 while having Gohan train. Making a character stronger is the easiest thing in the show so that is not a problem. I doubt Toei are telling Toriyama that they don't like drawimg Piccolo unless Toei really are that bad.

Every week that we get no Piccolo or the Universe 6 Namekians then the better it will be.

[Whatever]

As a Gohan fan, I want Piccolo away from Piccolo since it seems Piccolo's entire character in this arc is tied to Gohan. Gohan is a big boy, you can seperate from him.

But Gohan needs a sacrificial lamb to take the blow for him for when he screws up and we can't use Goku like in the Cell saga since Goku is gonna get a new form.

That doesn't mean Gohan and Piccolo have to be together at almost every moment in this tournament. Gohan is a big man, he doesn't need encouraging words when you're fighting for survival for crying out loud.

Let Piccolo be the sacrificial lamb then, I'm ok with that as a worst case scenario as long as Piccolo ends up performing well in the tournament and isn't a pushover. If he fights valiantly against those Namekians and takes out another respectable fighter then I'm satisfied.

Its a staple at this point,even in dbz most of the time Gohan screwed up somebody else paid the price for his mistake and its not limited to Piccolo,in the Cell saga Trunks and Goku died because of his mistake.
The least they could for Piccolo is him taking out Frost but considering he is working with Freeza and is plot relevant for some reason,then it seems its not happening.

[Baggie_Saiyan]

Dunno if this has been noted but saw on my TL that Toshio was praising Toriyama for the potential Goku's new form, guess that's that, dunno why people thought a newbie like Toyo was gonna design something so significant.

What exactly can Frost and Frieza do apart from being the only 2 competitors left so both Universe 6 and 7 survive and then they get the wish which will allow Frieza to be brought back to life. This is not going to happen.

Frost is going to try what he done to Krillin to someone powerful and that will be the end of him.

People thought Toyo designed Goku's new form?

[Vegeta-Sama]

Anyone else hopes Frieza will win the ToP?
