Why is Toei in all caps ? It aint a dam acronym.

Piccolo won't lose next week so it doesn't matter.

You're getting made over a 3 second clip in a 30 second preview for a 23 minute long episode that doesn't air for another week. Did this really need an entire thread dedicated to it?

I wonder how many people are vowing to quit watching Super forever based on that one clip.

Yes. Since the tournament got messy, Beerus and Champa decide to do a battle royale (and is indeed a battle royale, not this false advertisement they did for Universe Survival saga, which doesn't feel like a battle royale at all), even those who already got defeated, returned to battle (with a power-up similar to Towa's) and fight against Universe 7's Time Patroller and Goku, the remaining ones at this point.

There are more changes but it's better for you to play this awesome game and experience it, or see Youtube videos.
I'm not interested in the game but I'm curious, so I will go with the second option.Thanks.

People vow to drop Super every week, but they always come back for more. After 117 episodes no one takes them serious anymore.
A world without Dragon Ball is just meh.

I don't remember if it was Episode 3 or 5, but I remember the amount of people who where like, this is unaccetable never watching super again, but like no one did, and this seems to happen like every 4 weeks or so. It's like when people swear off EA but still buy the games. It's really funny.

As long as he does not sacrifice himself for gohan,I am fine if he loses.I have already lost hope for this arc.

There is a reason why 'I will quit Super if this or this happens' became a meme.

On Reddit, people often say 'See you next week' when they see this reaction.

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.

The last shot of Piccolo bears a significant resemblance to him saving Gohan from Nappa's attack, hence people are upset that it appears Piccolo might be sacrificing himself to save Gohan for like the 8th time.
That would seriously piss me off. Such déjà vu in a bad way.

Of course.
Vice is playing it correctly. Good to stay pessimistic, it always ends bad when one has high expectations.

Staying pessimistic is one thing, but this hardly needed a thread.

I'm all for pessimism, but it gets tiring after a while, not gonna lie.

No it didn't. Emotional response of this happening far too many times I guess.

If he's screwed next week expect more threads after the episode airs though.

The Non-thread-worthy discussions thread or the things that grinds your gears thread would have been a lot better for this, to be honest.

If Piccolo dies here, he'll officially be the most killed character in the franchise, more-so than Krillin.

Yet who will be the one to still get mocked tirelessly? :think:

Chill out dude. The episode hasn't even come out yet. I just hope next episode focuses more on Gohan and Piccolo vs U6 Namekians instead of the low stamina Goku going against 3 U2 opponents
"Gohan, let it go. It is not a sin to fight for the right cause. There are those who words alone will not reach. Cell is such a being. I know how you feel Gohan, you are gentle, you do not like to hurt. I know because I too have learned these feelings. But it is because you cherish life that you must protect it. Please drop your restraints. Protect the life I once loved. You have the strength, my scanners sensed it..." -Android 16

How would we know if this is a Toei thing? Toriyama himself hasn't shown much interest in giving Piccolo much of anything for all of Super.

I'm pretty sure he's not out. 119's title implies that we haven't had an elimination till then.

I still remember the theory that Toei made Piccolo lose to Frost to make Vegeta look good because Toei was filled with Vegeta fanboys.
