It's a bit strange not to see Bulma in the new OP while Chi Chi does appear :| I know she's pregnant now but she's still the main female character of Dragon Ball.

There's so much Goku vs alien guy the intro it makes me wonder he's gonna be Goku's first opponent.

I was thinking the same thing, maybe Goku loses their first match but faces him again later in the tournament and wins somehow.

She's the only character not named Goku/Vegeta from the old days that survived the transition to Super without complete reduction in screentime, relevancy and involvement. I'm totally fine if she takes a back seat in this arc, she was highly relevant throughout Super so far, no complaints there for once towards Toriyama. Many other characters still need to return to their former glory

Also, new song shits all over Chozetsu Dynamic. Finally some energy!

Colour of the red is different and some the Blue aura should be seen.

BTW I have one or better 2 questions

If Zeno destroys some universes... What about the alternate timelines?

Further more if the speculated Super Dragon Balls will come to use restoring all destroyed universes this let me ask why not using them to restore Future Trunks timeline?

They easily could have waited one year to use them for it instead of this shitty ending

Previous arc just answered it. Zuno destroyed everything in Future Trunks timeline and yet nothing got destroyed in main timeline.

Alternate timelines = everything duplicated and separated. Very doubtful Super Dragon Balls can influence something in other timelines.

Hmmm makes sense but Super DragonBalls restoring other universes besides 6 and 7 would be strange as well

Having the SDBs said to be able to grant any wish is problematic in general. What if someone wishes for Zuno to be erased lol. Narratively wise, Earth/Namekian DBs always had multiple rules and excemptions but these are supoused to be totally unlimited in capabilities.

Everyone is under the assumption that the prize is the Super DB's but I don't think so the way they said "something awaits the winners and losers" makes me think not.

About the opening, i think that Goku with red ki is the real SSJG that Beerus dreamed, or is just Goku that learned to control kaioken.

Thanks to the filter, some of the colors have been alternated.

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.

Didn't we had enough of a Multiverse rip-off?

Yeah, of course :) It's a tournament arc, so naturally she takes a back seat like any other non-fighter. I just meant that it's strange that there isn't even a glimpse of her in the OP. I really hope Bulma will see the actual tournament, since she has been cheering for Goku and everyone else in every single tournament in the series.

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

If they want to tie Super with GT, they could do a type of dream realm idea and have Goku go inside the dreams of Pan. Geekdom101 brought up that idea and it sounds cool. The idea of GT being Pan's imagination would make sense since she is always with Goku.

That doesn't explain the lack of blue though.

That isn't exactly an original concept. You need to read more fiction.
