Universe 9: Establishing stakes, subtle undercurrent of tragedy.
Universe 10: Impact of loss on fighters, death of known side character (Gowasu).
Universe 2 and 6: Major losses, several notable and developed characters, as well as the two most prominent Universes. Bittersweet drama, instantly iconic.
Universe 4: Oh, Quitela's mad, I guess.
And you know what, as much as I sort of like Universe 3, I have no doubt theirs will be underwhelming as well. This is why they shouldn't have rushed 6 and 2. Now matter how much people think they don't like them, the fact remains that their loss will have the most impact after final boss 11. Universe 4 and 3 should have gone out in the middle. If there's no way to make them impactful, then don't have them go out after two big players.
Now all we have to look forward to is a fun robot battle against characters we don't care about (why'd you have to go, Katopesla?) before a final battle between whoever Universe 7 have left (which could be all of them at this rate), and the Bone-Idle Troopers.
Those are all VERY Good Points
Kataphrut, Well Thought out and If I can, I like to add another ontop of those as well and involves Like I always involve U2 and their erasing.
The Impact on the People of the Universe itself!
U10 started this trend by making the Loss on a Personal Level with Obuni, His Locket and his Family. That was impact-ful and added a personal element to great dramatic effect that this is erasing families, women, children and regulare people as well.
What the U2 did with its Broadcasting to their Universe of the ToP, Brilliantly took that Concept and multiplied it by Billions! It Involved ALL their people and you Saw ALLOT of their people who where taking part in what was maybe their Final Battle of their existence to not only Witness, but to Cheer On, Pray, Hope and Ultimately Give Strength of their Love to their Champions, their Guardians, their Heroes!
ALL of U2 ~~~ everyone Person, Normal and Powerful, man, woman and child where apart of this Battle! NO Other Universes had the Brass to do that, but U2 did cause That is just who they are!
It hit on Many Levels and it also showed the Impact on the Lost of Billions of Lives.........Again BILLIONS Likely and it was in the Final Image Before U2 went and they all went in peace and pride that they fought to the end in their beliefs and made sure it echo threw-out the remaining cosmos!
That was so Heavy, Impactful and Well Thought on Detailed Dramatic Writing their increasing the Stakes!
