The ending might very well told us the order the main cast gets eliminated

[Mercenary]

I'd love to see Vegeta eliminated early just to see his whiny ass fanbase cry more.

Honestly, I didn't see many Vegeta fans on this board. But haters? Quite a lot.



This order won't take a place. You just keep overinterpreting because YOU WANT this to happen. That's how it is.

Its very possible that the order will take place. Universe 9 wasn't featured at all in the ending and they were the first to get eliminated. And from our lineup, Krillin was the first to go, just as the ending showed.

[TBMx]

Who knows. If Tenshinhan gets knocked out next, and especially if Vegeta gets knocked out third, then it's very likely. Vegeta getting such an early knock out would be the shock they're going for, to see the second strongest fighter of U7 knocked out so early.

and Vegeta taking out by a fat woman is just the twist we need.

Vegeta getting humiliating defeats is par the course for the series.

How can something that's par the course for the series also be a shocking twist? That's an oxymoron.
It's one or the other.

[Asura]

...But don't the Japanese read from right to left? or is that a stupid thought

[precita]

It's happening. Unless Roshi does get knocked out next week, I think Vegeta will be the surprise knock out.

The rest of this lineup makes sense. I can see 18 going not to long after, then 17. Piccolo will obviously last long enough to fight those two Nameks, then he's gone.

Freeza being third to last, and the last two being Goku/Gohan fits.

[IntoTheFire]

I still think it's too early to claim the ending reveals the order of eliminations. Everyone suspected that either Roshi or Tien are up next. The next episode preview also doesn't look good for Roshi. I'll believe it when I see it.

[precita]

Vegeta is said to play a role in next episode according to the summary. For all we know Vegeta sacrifices himself to save Roshi.

[IntoTheFire]

Could be. But I just don't see Vegeta sacrificing himself for someone like Roshi. He isn't sentimental and has no attachments to Roshi whatsoever. Besides, they need him in the tournament far more then they need Roshi. It would make no sense for him to save Roshi at his own expense.

[Arugela]

The end of todays episode did end on vegetas arrogance and blind aggressiveness. Those put together is an easy way to have him eliminated quick. It might make sense giving the end of this episode.

And I could see him being sacrificed for roshi or otherwise if it's from a very power enemy out of necessity to simply win. Not out of the kindness of his heart. It would be arrogance or necessity or both.

It's not hard for any of the more aggressive fighters to get eliminated. It's a matter of what order they put them in. roshi and piccolo are staying back potentially strategically. The other like 18 and 17 are potentially running around fighting. It's easy for the order to happen as stated. It's not about power. It's about circumstances.

And it was nice all of the fighters had to go up against something a little more difficult for them. Their overwhelming power is not in play. They need to do that a lot more often. Power doesn't normally overtake strategy... This show has too much blind power winning and none of the consequences. Add that in and this show gets very interesting very fast.

[BlueBasilisk]

If Vegeta does go out it's entirely possible he goes down to dirty tactics or subterfuge rather than a sacrifice. It looked like he was fighting Magetta in the NEP so someone could ambush him or take him by surprise.

[precita]

It makes sense for Vegeta to take an early fall. He did so much in Super already, and he already has quite a number of eliminations in this tournament.

Vegeta fans after this episode:

[Kanious]

I still don't think that this ending doesn't mean NOTHING. I remember when the new opening started, and people where talking that the order of elimination would be the number on the dragon balls, to me this is the same: bullshit.

Also, it is expected that we'll get a new ending by September 23 [episode 108], as since the beginning until now the ending has changed every 12 episodes.

[TheOne]

Ridiculous assumption. This fan base is so silly.

So the fact that two of the weakest fighters on the team are the first to go, you assume Vegeta is next?

Roshi looks like he's about to get wrecked by Frost here really soon. So it'll shut most of the people up here about how they revealed the order.

Everyone's making it seem like there's some hidden messages in the opening when in fact they're just getting the weakest fighters off the stage.

Nothing wrong with a little speculation.

You're right there's nothing wrong with it.

But some people have just gone a little overboardinf about it.

[precita]

Then why is the position in the ending so suspicious? Why is Vegeta placed with Krillin and Tien of all people, instead of shown with Goku and Gohan?

Likewise why is Freeza with Piccolo and Roshi in their scene? The order of the ending likely wasn't decided at random. They purposely chose to order the characters in that manner.

Won't 12 since the last one be 109?

You're right, i messed up a little bit. I was looking on wikipedia, and it really seems that the endings change every 9 to 12 episodes. Here is a list of what we've had until now:

episodes 1 to 12 is "Hello Hello Hello"
episodes 13 to 25 is "Starring Star"
episodes 26 to 36 is "Usubeni"
episodes 37 to 49 is "Forever Dreaming"
episodes 50 to 59 is "Yokayoka Dance"
episodes 60 to 72 is "Chao Han Music"
episodes 73 to 83 is "Aku no Tenshi to Seigi no Akuma"
episodes 84 to 96 is "Boogie Back" by Miyu Innoue.
episodes 97 to ??? is "Haruka" by Lacco Tower.

[The_Destroyer]

I'm hoping this elimination order is true because if Roshi is next one to go out then it would be flat lazy and obvious to have the weakest members go oit first. Having one of your heavy hitters be taken out early would increase the tension of this arc, which is what this arc needs. It's time they do something different than go with the predictable order of weakest eliminated first and strongest survivng till the end.
