Looks as if the other Gods of Destruction are sticking to a similar visual theme.

EDIT -- Beaten to it. You need Hit's timeskip technique to post in this thread after news is unveiled.

PVs?

Appears mostly manga based. Toyotaro's a busy man.
Was hoping for animation, but manga ad is cool too.

I'm still not excited for yet another tournament so soon, but I'm happy that 18 and 17 get to do plot stuff.

I didn't get a lot out of that. But the PV being in manga was pretty interesting.

Predicting now that Super's endgame is to have Goku and co.'s influence cause the Zenous to be more patient and respectful with mortal life. No universes will be destroyed.

Would be a similar takeaway to the end of Dr. Slump, and a decent narrative use of all the new mythos to be added since the series' revival.

I thought that was a given? I mean, it's too important of a development and they're even in the poster of the new arc penned by Toriyama.

There's a spiral thing at 0:15. I wonder what that is... It's not the fighting ring, at least it doesn't seem like it.

I hope they get out of the universe destruction with something. Super dragonballs or Goku just convincing the Zenos not to destroy anything. I doubt we would explore all 12 universes anyway, but I like that the option is there.

I really hope so cause there's so much they can do with them.

Another thing could happen is after the tournament someone could attack the Zenos and everyone would save them so they'd end up letting them all live.

I seriously doubt they're gonna all be destroyed. But probably we lose a couple to give a sense of threat.

I don't think they'll all be destroyed, but some will. I doubt this tournament won't face any interruptions.
When Super apparently shoves Goku down our throats:

I don't want the Zenous to be presented as purely villainous, though, because there's something charming about the ultimate key to Dragon World being an imaginative child.

I'd much rather a positive change/maturation than a defeat.

I'm also curious as to how, or if, Super will continue after this arc. The setup really seems like a culmination of everything that's been introduced since Battle of Gods.

I do.
... like, everyone wanted to see whats in other universe and now he is destroying them so that theres nothing left to explore :(

I do wonder what would be for the losing teams, where are they going to live? are they going to be killed? :o :(

I wonder if they will do something like merge the universes at the end of it,

sort of a cop out, but I can't imagine them introducing all these universes and just leaving Universe 7 at the end?

Can people stop saying this will be the final arc? There is nothing that says this will be.
