It won't surprise me if a universe that we never expect to win ends up winning. Universe 10 could surprise us and end up winning despite having weak looking characters. Gowasu will probably end up wishing back U7 since he probably still respects Goku for helping him get rid of Zamasu.

I have a feeling that we are too focused on the outcome of this tournament. What takes place during it may end up meaning more and if I'm not mistaken isn't there a 48 minute time limit on the TOP? This may have been discussed elsewhere but what if time runs out and each universe has at least 1 fighter left? If I'm wrong about the time limit let me know, but I have a feeling the TOP may finish with a separate set of rules than it starts with. I think this thing is going to go in a direction that none of us have thought of yet.

I think it would be great if there were 3 U7 and 3 Pride Troopers left and Zeno decides on having 1v1 fights to decide the tournament. Maybe Gohan, Vegeta and Goku for U7..but I think Frieza may work better than Vegeta as he can take a loss without outrage from the base lol

But he will "of course" win against Jiren. As he was "of course" going to win against Zamasu and Hit.

But if your baseless prediction does happen? I'll be quite pleased, because it's about time.
He never lost to freeza.
He never lost to hit infact he beat him in the later episodes.
Zamasu was a team effort.

He only lost to beerus and everyone lost to him.

In Super, Goku has lost too many times. Toriyama has been so unpredictable that everyone expects him to keep being unpredictable. And he will be, but this time I believe the ending will be the easy one: Goku manages to beat Jiren.
Its because some fans are afraid the moment Goku beats the main antagonist and think that DBS will turn into GT(See Manga when Goku is battling Merged Zamasu instead of Trunks like in the anime).

I dont see Vegeta jobbing to Jiren, he might job to Kale after he defeats Caulifla.

Hit vs Toppo could be an interesting matchup, ends up with both being eliminated.

If hit won fairly why did he quit the next match?

If these characters had a creative streak then they would be putting Piccolo's magical abilities to use by conjuring up some aerial vehicle and distancing themselves from the pandemonium. Let Krillin shear off as much of the stadium as possible with his Kienzan. The aim of the tournament is to knock your opponent out of bounds. Since none of the contestants except the physiologically inclined are capable of flight, destroying the stadium would be an effective strategy for winning. I know it's not the "honourable Saiyan" way but who else besides Goku and Vegeta is concerned with such nonsense?

Realistically, why would Hit's Toki-Tobashi not be continually improving? The other characters would have to nip that pesky attribute in the bud quickly, otherwise they're going to be faced with the same dilemma of an ever improving enemy like what Goku experienced during the past tournament.

Plus, Jiren isn't a villain. He's a super hero fighting to save his universe. Plus, U7 losing would come as a twist thanks to their EoZ plot armor. I think Goku will fall to Jiren but will gain his respect.
I think it'd be interesting for Jiren to win and Goku to chase him only for Jiren to not give a damn about fighting Goku again. Jiren as a superhero, would say he only fights if there is danger and doesn't want to engage in a battle against Goku. This would increase the craze for fighting that Goku has been portrayed to have as he won't leave Jiren alone and follow him. Maybe then Goku would turn somewhat evil and cause harm to something to force Jiren to fight

It's also possible the time limit thing will save them. If at least 1 person from each universe stays in the arena, then he can't just erase them all, it'd make no sense, and he'd never get to hold tournaments again with the people from those universes.

when was this? i havent seen an interview saying something like that since the whole cell sag fiasco.

anyways, Goku isnt going to be the last one standing. Its going to be gohan or vegeta by the way it looks. Gohan will get super saiyan white which will be the transformation of the arc and vegeta will probably win it for them. Goku being the last man standing just seems too easy. hes stronger than everybody there but jiren. would be kind of obvious to have that match up.

I don't see Vegeta winning it for the squad, if it's anyone, I do see it being Goku or Gohan. It being Goku wouldn't really be too easy going off his track record so far and in just tournaments, but Gohan has also received build up. I don't see Gohan getting any SSW at all though.

I have a strong feeling it will be Hit who gets man handled by Jiren.

After seeing his capabilities of perceiving movement, Hits time skip will be useless. Assuming that his time skip actually works in a void where time doesn't exist.

While this is true it applies to anyone who fights him, it's more so Hit whose attacks are all based around his time movement.
How i predict the tournament will end:
