Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Official Announcement & Discussion Thread
Toei is cracking down hard on people posting the episode on YouTube. Don't know why it's a problem to them now when episodes were constantly being posted in the past since Super started.

My guess is because that big hour long double-episode is coming up. Whenever it's a big plot point Toei puts more feelers into the ground.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Official Announcement & Discussion Thread
If this episode is anything to go by then Gohan would be doomed the second he leaves Piccolo. He is not going to protect him twice and Piccolo has Namekians to fight with hopefully no Gohan involved.Jigurashi wrote:Piccolo's part just makes it more likely to me he's going to be taken out saving Gohan as I already suspect. It's really making me lose interest in Piccolo as a character. He and Gohan both benefit a lot more as characters currently if they were separated, same with Goku and Vegeta.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Official Announcement & Discussion Thread
Piccolo is at least going to be safe till he fights the two Nameks from U6, so I don't think you have to worry about him yet.
Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Official Announcement & Discussion Thread
I wouldn't like it, but I could easily see Gohan fighting the Namekians with Piccolo. Piccolo really isn't all that special anymore. He's in that awkward space between the really irrelevant guys, and the top characters. I'm more inclined to believe they'd give Gohan a good showing when he fights on his own than I am to believe that Piccolo won't sacrifice himself for Gohan. I don't want that, it's an old and very tired out meme at this point and it lessens my opinion of both characters whenever I see it happen.namekiansaiyan wrote:If this episode is anything to go by then Gohan would be doomed the seco d he leaves Piccolo.

I don't think they will eliminate Vegeta next, cause that would be very surprising. I can't imagine the the hatred spreading in all medias by this actually happening.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Official Announcement & Discussion Thread
I am confident that in Toriyama's script there is a big fight for Piccolo and Toei can't do anything about it. I wouldn't be surprised if the Gohan and Piccolo bit today was nearly all made up by Toei.Jigurashi wrote:I wouldn't like it, but I could easily see Gohan fighting the Namekians with Piccolo.

Frosts face here in the preview reminded me of Freeza's face in ep. 94:
Karasawa?

Define big, because what you find big I don't. Goku VS Jiren I'd say is a big fight, I don't see Piccolo having a fight of that level in this saga at all.namekiansaiyan wrote:I am confident that in Toriyama's script there is a big fight for Piccolo and Toei can't do anything about it.

That Frost pic, it looks like either he shot Roshi or he shot Vegeta?
It would make sense if Frost goes after Vegeta, as payback for humilliating him in the Champa Arc.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Official Announcement & Discussion Thread
This is just a crazy thought, but what if Frost wanted to cause Roshi to use the Mafuba for the next episode?
Like, he saw Roshi use it earlier in the tournament and figured that it would be the best way to get revenge on Vegeta so he plans a way to reverse it onto someone else (don't know if that's possible. Been a while since I read the manga) and throws it at Vegeta.
To get his plan to work, he sicks Magetta onto Vegeta, distracting him while he goes after Roshi and forces him to use the Mafuba against him before redirecting it onto Vegeta...
I don't see it happening, but it would be shocking and a little fun to see something like that happen.

Its very funny how Tenshinhan clones seemed fine after taking shots from Harmura, the same shots that rekt Piccolo, even Rota was fine.
Episode made Piccolo a complete joke.

The shock factor would be the entire reason why they'd take him out so early.Noah wrote:I don't think they will eliminate Vegeta next, cause that would be very surprising. I can't imagine the the hatred spreading in all medias by this actually happening.
Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Official Announcement & Discussion Thread
The reason is the most overused,cliche and annoying team up which is hindering two charactersBeyond wrote:How did Piccolo get embarrassed this episode? The situation was far out of his control. He didn't even make any major mistakes either. Piccolo did alright consider how big the disadvantage was. He came up with several idea that weren't bad in theory at least. Gohan felt like he was dumbed down a bit this episode though. If both Gohan and Piccolo were allowed to be smart at the same time, they might have won on their own.
Why power levels are important?

That episode title. Is it just for Frost or for Freeza as well.
And goddamn Frost looks awesome.
Theory time. What if he will redirect the Mafuba towards Vegeta surprising him?

That's how I think he takes out Vegeta and Roshi at the same time next..Kishido wrote:.

Roshi dies from the strain and Vegeta is out before he knows it..
The debate whether opening is correct or ending continues..
