It's almost poetic that this awful arc won't end. 😆

Now ofcourse that in no way is proof that it won’t happen.. But I would’ve just loved to have some confirmation on it. That is all.

I hope so... I hope so.

I guess my expectations were a bit too extreme. Expecting to see an already transformed MUI Goku during the draft panels. Ofcourse there’s a whole emotional process involved towards transforming ofcourse and that takes quite a few pages, which I forgot. Apologies..

Why would you want the biggest moment spoiled in the draft pages?

Granted it will be spoiled anyways but they probably want to leave that moment to the actual chapter.

It was super forced, especially since all we saw of it was a flashback just before Meerus dies. I'm not sure why people try to compare them to Gohan and 16 - they weren't friends, 16 was just the trigger to Gohan's transformation. He saw everyone getting beat up but not dying, and 16's death (plus the pep talk) was that little push to send him over the edge

This is probably following Merus' explanation about UI from before. It's triggered after the user surpasses an emotional shock. That seems to be what those pages are conveying. Goku initially controls his anger, then reminisces about Merus and his dream of protecting the galaxy (also asking Jaco why he fought for the Patrol) and only then transforms.

Huh? We got two scenes before that. Although that's still not much, but it wasn't just that flashback.

I hate how uninformed Moro is in regards to GoDs and Angels. It truly seems his deity knowledge ends at Kaioshins, despite being this million years old Wizard. Zamasu, Jiren and Hit all knew about Angels yet our currently longest antagonist is now all like "Huh who was that guy why is he strong??

It takes away his badassery points, not to mention makes him look less threatening too with all those shocked faces.

Merus says .. that in that "rosat" 1 day was 3 days

I actually would've been surprised to see it, as I think it's too big of a moment to show in such a way.

Yes, come to think of it, yes. Another example is him saying he was out of power, only to fully power up in the next episode.

Well to be honest, these previews are just the first pages of the chapter. If Toyotaro wanted to start it out with MUI, then these would spoil it.

Dragon Ball is specifically made to be predictable.
Don't know why anyone would be surprised...

The original manga is anything but predictable.

Because Zeno erasing the entirety of Trunks' timeline, or Frieza allying with Goku for a Tournament sure were predictable.

As expected Goku was calm in front of what just happened.

I like how he says he has inherited the Galactic Patrol’s and Merus’ will. This may be the first time (canonically) that Goku fights not for his own sake but for the universe as well.
This surprisingly fits very well with the fact that there’s no personal connection between Moro and Goku.

Goku fought king Piccolo to avenge Krillin and Roshi. He also fought Freeza to avenge the Saiyans and Namakians.

I've been thinking how they'd make it work, and this definitely takes care of that problem. Now let's hope he gets the job done instead of messing up at the last minute only to have to wait for another fight to take place.

Or nobody beating Beerus in BOG, or Whis rewinding time in ROF, or Goku giving up against Hit and Hit let Monaka win with one puch, or....
A world without Dragon Ball is just meh.
