Looks like a chapter to read while listening to "Instant-Kill Battle"
Wonder if there are any off-screen eliminations

Boy I can tell from those spoilers that I'm gonna be pretty conflicted while reading it. But as always I'll wait for the chapter to come out before I start ranting and raving.

Which wouldn't be so bad if Toyo was good at it. I mean, if you're going to study a manga that does exploration while keeping the characters intact, I suggest Toyo study One Piece, Berserk, or FMA.

Toyo also runs afoul with the pitfall of trying to explain something, but end up making more of a mess like the whole problem I have with Healer Trunks.
What's an example of Toyotaro over-explaining to the detriment of the story?

What about healer Trunks is problematic?
One that comes off the top of my head was the first chapter of the Future Trunks Saga when Toyo felt the need to explained Dragon Ball time-travel twice. One through Jaco when he's talking to Tights and Bulma, and again with the teacher. That one in particular stands out since the teacher's explanation was utterly unneeded, especially in the same chapter after Jaco just explained time-travel.

As for Healer Trunks, I gave a giant explanation why I had issues with it, so I will give the footnote version if you don't mind. Basically, Trunks having healing powers and literally no one telling him for no reason changed the story since Trunks knowing that he could heal would have changed a lot of events. The biggest one being that he may have saved Shin when Dabura mortally wounded him. It likes Toyo introduced a plot point to make Trunks useful without physically making him stronger without realizing the wider implications of it, which is a common mistake of fanfic writers.

If you want more details, you can look through my post history where I give a far more detail explanation.

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.

But no one cares about Rib (half joking). Shame on 18 though since she had one of the best send-offs in the anime.

One of the following happened:

1. Nakamura was lying through his teeth about Toriyama giving them elim order for u7 and method

2. Toei or Toyo just ignored his elim order

3. He gave Toyo a diff order than he gave to Toei

I'm not a fan of Vegeta completely owning both Toppo and Dyspo as I was hoping he'd get more of an equal, longer fight with him. I guess with it being this early there's a chance Toppo will go full destroyer like he did in the anime.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

Does anyone have a high quality image for the Volume 6 cover art? I need it to add to the Dragon Ball Wiki.

I don't think Toyotaro likes the Magical Girls and 18 aa much as the anime staff

The only fighyer that has looked better in the manga is Frost.

1 and 2 are probably both right.

I think it was 2 Earthlings get knocked out by Frost.
Piccolo by Damom

I do think 18 getting kncoked out by Gamisaras is more likely the outline than saving 17.

Roshi will probably be next by being tired and the rest will be the same order in the same way as the anime.

So Obuni is the only one remaining in U10 right? I expect him to fight Gohan like in the anime. Gohan will also probably solo Saonel and Pirina, given that U6 is next after U10.

This sounds interesting.
Roshi outlasts Piccolo and 18, while the Saiyan duo still do nothing btw.

I highly doubt Nakamura lied, especially when he was specific about a folder where Toriyama detailed what happened to U7.

The magical girls being magical girls were Toei's idea, so it make sense. Just as the Pride Troopers being superheroes was the anime idea to explained why Toppo, Jiren, and Dypso had the same uniform on because Toriyama never gave a reason.

I also doubt elimination order comes down to personal preference as some seem to think.

Toriyama probably let Toyotaro change a few things around.

Toriyama left so much for Toyotaro and Toei to do themselves. The only real detail he has probably done is the final Universe 11 battles.

Me neither. I hope instead Toppo and Dyspo have more of a tag-team dynamic like what we saw them do against Goku. They don't really need transformations to do better.. but this is dragon ball, so its more likely to happen.
