I'm confused, is there a consesus about that yet? Are they all cats or not?

The Buu saga in the manga and the Shadow Dragon arc in GT never said that they would be the last arc in the series. So who knows. It won't surprise me if Toei does end up with this arc and announces a sequel show afterwards.
Why would they make a sequel show? What sense does that make.

A few pages back someone mentioned the idea of Black somehow being on U10's team which would obviously be silly. Still, it made me think of the idea of the Kaioshin from U10's twin universe being a Zamasu twin...but I guess it isn't like U6's gods look anything like Kaioshin.
I still want(ed) Freeza to wind up on the Universe 7 team. Universal survival provides the perfect excuse for Beerus to go rogue and resurrect the other strongest guy in Universe 7 for his team.
Like a loose cannon like Freeza can be trusted. He would shoot Goku and vegeta in the back, survival be damn.

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

The number of cats cannot yet be determined.

If we put the scene in a box with a toxic gas set to be released with a trigger based on a radioactive source's activity, they are either all cats or none of them are cats until the observer views the result.

Exactly! I'd be completely down for watching Freeza torn between self-interests in staying out of Hell, saving his universe and not angering Beerus, and his undying grudge toward Goku and Vegeta.

We can't be sure, but its true there are only two sets of kitty ears at sight, wich happens to be from Beerus and Shampa. I just assumed they were all cats since I thought the Beerus and East Kaioshin part were other characters because of the clothes, but its them :lol:

So the question is will they get time to train and prepare. I think they had at least 7 days the first time. Can't wait for "Our universe is destroyed if we lose.....you got this Dad, Vegeta, I ain't preparing for shit!"

Now that it's confirmed that every universe will have to bring 10 fighters..a couple of thoughts:

a) i doubt we'll see the U7 team fighting, say, 30 different characters. That would be overkill. An interruption after the first set of universe vs universe matches is sounding like a good bet.
b) obviously, not every contestant from other universes will be SS Blue level. so it's perfectly possible to expect the likes of Kuririn and Tenshinhan to win a fight, if Toriyama/Toei want.

The only arm we clearly see is Beerus'. We barely see the hands of the others behind them.

I wouldn't because the heroes would be dumb to revive him. And Freeza will always chose his own interest over surviving or are we forgetting that this is the same moron who shot Super Saiyan Goku in the back while he was missing more than half of his body.

That wouldn't explain Roshi unless some universe got some weaklings in it.

Well, yeah, that's why i didn't bring him up, lol.
Still curious to see what's the story behind his pick and whether they'll think of Yamcha.

Since when did Beerus wears cloak unless that's what they wear when meeting the Omni-King.

So, if this arcs starts in February, we'll have an entire month (January) of filler, right?

I still don't like the universe being destroyed angle, especially since we know characters from U6 and from U10 with Gowasu. Seems weird and pointless to waste them.

Is there a clearer image of the group shot of all the Destroyer Gods?

I hope we see some designs tomorrow. Even if it's just the Hakaishins.

With these stakes, it's a good thing Beerus doesn't bring Monaka, though Goku will probably ask about him. I was worried that Monaka might be dragged along before the poster of the U7 team came up.

I think the 1st week of January won't have an episode.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

So Toei is using the manga as a base for this arc? This is great, we may get more consistent animation now, and less mixups between the 2 mediums.
I'm guessing Whis' dad will be the final boss of the tournament. Also this is Goku's fault, if he didn't suggest the U6 tournament, none of this would be happening. Now a ton of deaths will be on his hands.
