U7 Final Four

Post by Super_Divine_Genki » Sun Dec 17, 2017 1:33 pm

We're getting closer and closer to crunch time in this ToP(!!). This three-eyed cowboy would like to throw out one final prediction regarding our U7 combatants. It'll probably turn out to be incorrect -- like the couple other little predictions that I made -- but that's beside the point. This is all in good fun!

Who do ya'll got for your U7 Final Four?

Mine? I got Vegeta, #18, Freeza, and Gohan (in no particular order) -- with Gohan as the last member standing. That's my final answer. I had previously been on the fence about Piccolo or #17 getting in there, but Piccolo feigned weakness and ineptitude (for plot purposes to be revealed later) and is in the stands now. I switched around the cyborg duo.


Kanzenshuu: But... uh... where's Goku? He's the main character of the whole story. And this is Super... Shueisha/Toei would never risk taking GOKU out of play. We can't take your answer seriously. Two words... ULTRA. INSTINCT.

Me: Goku will "eliminate" himself. How will it happen? I have no explanation!


Anyway, let's see what the consensus here has to say.

My prediction:
This is Super. There is no way Goku will not be there.

The final four will be Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, and Frieza. 18 and 17 will be eliminated by Hirudegarn and Hatchiyack's bastard child.

Gohan will fight Dyspo. Vegeta will fight Toppo (after getting schooled by Jiren). Goku will fight Jiren. Frieza will remain in the background and surprise KO Jiren after he is weakened. Alternatively, if Vegeta is incapacitated by Jiren, Frieza will fight Toppo. That dynamic will be interesting to see: justice vs pure evil.

Goku, because he's Goku. Gohan because he's been built-up as one of the last surviving members. Freeza because he should have some sub-plot that lasts until the end of the tournament.

Which leaves either #17, Vegeta or #18 as the last members. #18 seems to be out next episode if we go by the group shot at the end of the NEP and Vegeta is a jobber who'll most likely get downed by Jiren. #17, meanwhile, is just as strong and he seems to have a big role in this arc, he wouldn't have been brought back for nothing.

He was brought back to interrupt Ribrianne's transformations.

I hope #17 defies expectations and makes it to the final four. He's just been too awesome in every single scene he's in this arc. Such a great character, I'm gonna be sad if he goes back to his island after this and we never see him again in any other future arc.

Wait, what? Is this another theory going around ?


Anyway, my final 4 were always the same from the beginning : Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Freeza.

Remeber when some were saying Vegeta would lose to Rebrianna ? :lol:

Anyway, Freeza, Goku, Gohan & Vegeta, in that order.

Vegeta will attack Jerin and do something that'll give Goku an opening to take him down then turn his attentions to Toppo which will result in both of them falling out of the ring.

Gohan will then face off against Dyspo and win then join Goku against Jerin and like Vegeta, he'll give Goku a better chance of winning before going out.

Goku will then find someway to win but before Zeno can announce Goku and Freeza as the winners, Freeza knocks Goku out of the ring and gets the dragon balls to himself which will lead directly into the next arc.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

It will most likely be - Goku, Gohan, Vegeta and Freeza, but I would replace Vegeta with C17.

Implying Goku wouldn't be in the final four if this was another DB anime...But yeah this is Super, Goku may lose in the end again.
A world without Dragon Ball is just meh.

I haven't seen the latest episode yet, so I had no idea about the NEP group shot. I had #18 in for diversity.

I have no idea about other theories, but:

With so much explosive power going on at once on the battlefield between U7 and U11 later, maybe they will all get blown out of bounds at the same time. Piccolo's severed arms would be declared technically still in play. A final decision is made, and Piccolo wins! I totally just made that up on the fly just now.

I see. It was written with so much certainty I thought something happened to tip people in that direction :lol:

If Vegeta loses out early to Jiren, then I can see 17 making it to the end instead.

Goku, Vegeta, Frieza and 17.

Realistically I should add Gohan, but we just saw his “full power” not too long ago, but we haven’t seen 17s.
How i predict the tournament will end:

Goku, Gohan, Vegeta and Freeza.

i see #17 get defeated by either Toppo or Jiren. Which would be the best way for him to bow out of the tournament.

I'm a bit torn on Gohan or 17 though.

The 'droids are going out whether they get mind controlled or not.

Vegeta is going up against Jiren we know for a fact. Goku is still weak and will be weak again due to the giant robot.

So 17 and 18 go down with U3.

Gohan Vs Dypso, = Gohan Wins
Freeza vs Toppo (villain vs justice too good to miss) = Freeza Wins
Vegeta Vs Jiren = Jiren Wins.

Goku has recovered, fights Jiren.
Goku and Gohan fight Jiren together as in credits.

Freeza steps in at/near the end and tries some shit.

Calling it now.
Yamcha almost certainly did not cheat on Bulma:
He was afraid of Women, Bulma was the flirty one.
Yamcha wanted to get married (it was his gonna be his wish)
He suggested they settle down in the Trunks saga.
Alternate future Trunks is not a reliable source.
Toriyama wanted new SSJ Kids and not make new characters.

I'd like him, Piccolo and especially Gohan to somehow stick around for future arcs. If I had to put $$$ on it I'd say Gohan has the highest chance of making it into the future.

Whether he achieves much, if Gohan will be around I assume Piccolo will be there too at least due to his connection to both Son's.

I'd be pleasantly surprised if they were but I don't think the two cyborgs will be around much. If Kuririn is in #18 might tag along with him by extension.

If the Dragon team go to U6 planets idea happens they'd be mental not to write Piccolo goes to other Namek into it.

Goku, Vegeta, Freeza and [sadly] Gohan. If it were by my decision, i would put #17 in Gohan's place, and he can be very useful for teaming with Goku in a fluid way.

Sums it up for me, though I'm not as pessimistic for Gohan.
