Predict the ending of Universal Survival Arc

[Faisal Shourov]

A lot of fans have already predicted the ending of Universe Survival Arc. I got these possible endings (not exclusively mine of course). Here we go

1) Most popular opinion: Universe 7 wins, Zeno destroys all the universe except 7. Goku and Co uses Super Dragon Balls to wish back everyone. Goku redeems himself and promises not to mess with Zeno again. Everybody forgives Goku (with possible scolding from Beerus)

2) Zeno somehow loses desire to destroy the universe and lets everybody go. All people are relieved.

3) The tournament doesn't end as predicted, Daishinkan/somebody else revolts and tourney gets interrupted. Incident escalates into a new arc.

Do you agree with any of these? If not what's your prediction? BTW, number 1 is so popular online that tons of people are like convinced that it will happen for certain. I hope number 1 doesn't happen as it will make Super extremely predictable which is bad for any show.

At the end of the saga, I just want to see the one above Zeno creating other Universes as I don't want Dragon Ball to lose its Multiverse concept. Aside from that, it can end the way Toriyama wants.

[TysonWine]

I pretty much agree with the predictions you listed. In the same order of possibility as well. I'd like to see a twist down the line, but doubt it'll happen.

[shadd21]

Wasn't it stated that the losing universe(s) would be destroyed "immediately"? I think we can rule prediction 2 out.

[Chuquita]

I'm going with theory 1. Ever since they revealed the super db's are the grand prize I've been convinced that's the ending of this arc.

[Gog]

Theory one obviously. Seriously what other option if there for this? Destroy the eleven other universes permanently and potentially risk losing money over it?

[incarnati0n]

Personal theory. When it gets to the quarter finals the third match will be U7 vs U11 and U7 will lose. Present Zeno will not want to destroy it because Goku is his friend but Future Zeno will want to destroy it either way, U6 and another one will ally to U7 alongside Zeno against the other 3 that remain. The reason why the other three will side with future zeno is because they see Goku as too much of a danger to all the Universes and will want his Universe destroyed. U7 eventually wins and Present Zeno erases his counterpart. Goku uses Super DBs and wishes the universes back and Universes 13 through 18 come back and the conflict is initiated for the next arc.

[TekTheNinja]

I feel like the three you listed as basically the only real possibilities. Nothing else would really make sense, though Super's surprised us before.

[TheMathemagician]

Zen'o could lose interest, or there's also the possibility of Goku managing to convince them to not do it, since he never got the chance to do so earlier since his idea was discouraged. I honestly think the tournament will reach it's conclusion.

[Hellspawn28]

I bet Mr. Satan will save the day somehow.

[Octorockandroll]

I hope it's none of those.

No offense but those all seem sort of dull and anti-climactic. I hope they pick their way to work around the universes getting destroyed stuff early on and then move on to a bigger and less obvious twist and resolution later.

I've also heard speculation this will somehow lead to some sort of war amongst the hakaishin, but I also hope that doesn't become a reality. Big war arcs don't really have a great history when it comes to shonen battle manga.

Convincing zeno the same way he convinced buu because he seems to have a thing with man childs?
Sure thing

[DragonBallFoodie]

Goku wins, Zeno's are happy and say they want another fight, Goku says he must keep the universes alive and not destroy them, they agree, everyone lives. The End.

[JulieYBM]

I imagine Gokuu will lose, but the winner will restore the universes as a result of learning from Gokuu's spirit.

[Faustus]

I feel confident in ruling out option 1 on the grounds of its too easy predictability.

Lately I've been toying with the possibility that U7 loses shockingly in the final round, but then of course Goku turns out to have so profoundly influenced both Zeno and the winning contestant through the fight and his infectious good nature that either (1) Zeno winds up reversing all the damage or (2) said contestant -- who even perhaps had earlier expressed a desire to use the Dragon Balls for some selfish end -- instead decides to use his wish to do the same. I favor the second of the two, though naturally I'd like to see Zeno end up changed for the better regardless.

EDIT: Beaten to the punch. JulieYBM, I kindly invite you to get out of my head.

[JulieYBM]

Personally, I want to see the Zen-Ou decide to kill themselves after the tournament. This way the universes could unfold naturally, without their interference.

But if I got out...who would remind you to change your underwear?!

The destruction gods would run without any fear then, sooner or later one will fight another and we get universe destruction..

Also, a bit out if topic, but does the guy in your profile pic ever change back to his man body?
And does his personality of a man return when!/if he does that

[TheMathemagician]

It's possible the most obvious option will end up happening given that many seem to be expecting something different because of how predictable it is.

The Destruction Gods at least seem to balance one another out. Still, seeing them feud openly would be another story arc idea for the series to cover.

As my avatar of Igarashi Kyou from Seitenka-go. Shin'yuu to: [spoiler]in the main storyline (and the sequel) Kyou remains a woman. The climax of the original piece (before Eroe put out the full 2,000 page download) is about Kyou coming to terms with his new feelings as a woman, mainly being that he is in love with Souji. Souji, of course, is incredibly happy that Kyou loves him, after spending a good portion of the latter two thirds being afraid that Kyou doesn't love him and that he was still a man on the inside After this big revelation the original storyline has a short montage of events of the rest of their life, like them getting married and having kids. The sequel takes place after Kyou and Souji become an official couple, but before they graduate high school.

Then there's the Souji route, where Kyou does return to being a man very shortly afterward, but Souji becomes a woman. It hasn't been translated yet, but going off of what I can tell from the drawings, Souji has a harder time adjusting to being a a woman than Kyou did. Souji is awkward and used to being the elder brother to three sisters. His physical transformation also seems slower, as he retains quite a bit of muscle and his breasts are small. Still, after a lot of hardship, like facing the possibility of Kyou loving another woman, Souji manages to confess and the two wind up married with three kids. In this storyline, Kyou gives up being a school thug after returning to being a man and begins to study. He never regains his bigger physique, either, so in a way Souji still sort of feels like the dominant one in the relationship.

There's also side story about Seishirou, a character from the main storyline, but I don't want to give away his role in the story. Suffice it to say, he also becomes a girl![/spoiler]

[RehBeh]

It will be revealed that the Dragon World is an Omniverse. That will tie in with the "Dragon Ball Room" and make DragonBall Japan's answer to the likes of DC/Marvel.
