We know all 8 from Universe 6 and 7 are there in episode 109 and it would seem like this stuff is continuing into episode 109 so the special is probably going to end up being crazy.
We don't know that and I highly doubt it. Roshi is so screwed using the Mafuba again and that's on 108. Universe six doesn't have everyone secure either, I would keep an eye on Magetta.
The poster for the special said that all 8 from Universe 6 and 7 are still in.

But if he has to deal with Freeza and Frost then things will probably get pretty intense regardless. Though I can't exactly see him winning that, so someone will probably jump in to help him. Luckily he has Piccolo on a leash so he is always near by.

I'm also pretty excited to see Roshi vs Magetta. Always up for more Magetta.
Episode 108 could be where Piccolo and Gohan split up.

They killed the hype by saying all of the remaining fighters from U6 and 7 remain on the stage till ep 109. Thx Toei.

That's true man, that was unnecessary but very relevant information to give in a summary.

*says he will leave the boards because of spoilers*

*returns half an hour later to discuss said spoilers*

Seriously, how does a 'betrayal' actually work on the Tournament of Power? Can a participant change allegiance in the middle of the freakin' event? Is Frieza's hatred for Goku so great he prefers it if both of them get erased rather than him being resurrected? And why should Frost change allegiance? Why go to another Universe when he's offered amnesty in his own? All this stuff doesn't add up. Frieza's betrayal back in his recruitment ep made sense (somewhat) since he was negotiating with U9. But what will happen here? Is the Arcosian duo so full of themselves they think the Universe they'll offer their services to will use the Super Dragon Balls to un-erase them and bring them to their side? And why wouldn't Beerus and Champa Hakai the crap out of them for doing such a dick move?

Though, the worst thing about this tournament as a whole is: Gohan isn't in Great Saiyaman Gear. I really hoped the Great Saiyaman two parter was foreshadowing for him embracing that persona for the tournament...
Agree on Gohan vs. Lavender. I personally think it's the best fight he has as an adult since he used his head and comes up with clever ways to get around being poisoned. Although he was an idiot for getting a beam struggle.

Not the biggest fan Great Saiyaman, but he is fun to watch.

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.

Welcome back :P
They can't interfere..
Hakai during the tournament is also an interference..

As for how the betrayal works, no idea..
I am here still stumped about the spirit bomb..

This is bugging me too. Betray how? He is part of universe 7 and Frost of 6. They are killing themselves in the process. Freeza is already in Hell but Frost at least is alive. Switching universes now? To U4? Is that a good deal for them? I don't know...

Honestly, I can't tell if I'm pissed or ecstatic about this bit of info. I just hope Frieza won't end up being a WHAT-a-TWIST! moment which will last 10 seconds and then he'll be gone. Wasn't fun back then with Mirai Trunks and won't be fun now.

Though truth be told, this is FAR better than say, eliminating one more fodder guy only to be slapped away by Jiren and never be seen again. At least with this, the Arcosians are doing their own thing and bow to no rules. Could end up being amazing, could end up being disappointing. Super so far has handled Frieza pretty damn well, so I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Freeza betraying them does sound pretty darn stupid, but I think that only applies to the saiyans, its not like all their teammates are saiyans, and they probably think there wont be anyone out there that can take em out once the saiyans are dealt with.

Maybe if they are the only 2 left then both Universes survive but they get the wish.

If people don't want to be spoiled, I suggest they avoid the thread that's dedicated to spoilers.

At the very least it'd be interesting to see how Freeza and Frost will pull this off without getting their teeth kicked in....and I really want to see how Freeza will "manipulate" the Gods, he did say he would reign over Zeno after all.

That is kind of Freeza's character. For all his cleverness, he's actually kind of stupid. I mean, just looked how he acted Namek. Even when he supposedly smarted up in Resurrection 'F', he still managed to screw himself.

Also, I don't think it's just the Saiyans. He dislikes Beerus for beating him that time, according to Toriyama, Piccolo one of those Namekians who stole his wish, and the humans who screwed him on Namek. Goku being his most hated person in the multiverse doesn't help.

This! Now I can only wonder how Frost manages to seal Vegeta yet he doesn't eliminate him or Roshi, or how Frieza betrays U7 without trying to eliminate Gohan or something... The F duo doesn't look too competent so far. In fact, is Frieza just betraying them for the saiyans? Really? Does he realize the situation? I was looking forward to see what those two could do more than the whole Goku vs Jiren thing (which also looks damn boring to be honest) but now that we know anyone is being eliminated I lost the hype.

Now I know we are the ones that decide to be spoilered or not, but there are some things that just should not be revealed beforehand.

There are so many things I don't like about the execution of this arc that I even doubt the manga can fix them, if it even tries at all.

When I said "stupid" its him prioritizing to throw out the saiyans when he himself knows he'll be screwed if they lose, especially when he knows that after they win Goku will resurrect him anyways and he can plan his next attack instead of being an idiot that chooses to get erased along with the people he hates rather than save it for another day when theres a chance he can kill them anyways while not getting erased in the process. I dont exactly see Freeza as the suicidal type.

You should know by now that Japanese don't care about that kind of stuff like westerns do. They outright spoiled Black's identity in a summery for Episode 61, two days before Episode 60 aired. Heck, we knew Black and Zamasu were going to fused since they spoiled the episode title a whole month before it happened. To them, it isn't the information, it's the journey or seeing how things got that point. Not so much what is going to happen.

Given how it's worded, it looks like he defects to U6 or will at least try. Will Zen'o allow it, who knows. We know Champa wouldn't mind since it screws Beerus. And he probably figures that U6 have Dragon Balls since it's a twin of U7. So he can just used those. To him, he joins U6 and gets everyone he hates erased from existence. That may be worth it even if he isn't brought back, because Freeza is a petty asshole. Remember, he tried to jump ship to U9 after he tried to get Goku erased.

That's how I feel. I am a Goku fan, and I didn't like how Goku took shine from Trunks in the Super manga.
