The last wish could be beautiful animation for the next arc.

Idk about the last wish.
The problem with that scenario is that, in the manga, Champa was sneaking around while Beers was fighting on Earth. His visit seems to happen not long after Freeza is dead so would he still be wandering the 7th Universe at this time? Sure, he already appeared in the anime and no one noticed him but...

So in the anime, Kibitoshin can notice Champa while Beerus is watching Goku/Vegeta and Freeza fight.

My guess the wishes are:

1. Defuse Kibitoshin
2. Wish back Piccolo to life
3. Save the last wish for later

Want to be more specific with that wish?

I forgot that he didn't blow up the city this time in Super. There is still the wish to bring back Piccolo and they may save one wish for later.

There's also the slight possibility that the third wish might not even be a factor. Maybe when they arrive there, the Namekian's have already started using the balls and have used one wish for something, thus leaving only the two wishes needed to revive Piccolo and separate Kibito Kai.

Like I've been saying since the leak, It's probably just that the Champa Arc is starting on January 24th in the anime.

The chapter is out and the Heroes material has leaked. If there was some announcement for a new movie or game like Xenoverse, it probably would have been revealed by now, too?

Why would that be a big announcement? We've known for six months that we are going to have Universe 6 arc. Big announcement means big surprise, and that is not a surprise.

Because Japan is notorious for over-hyping things like this. Yes, we knew the series would reach this point eventually, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if their idea of a big, surprise announcement was merely giving us the date and the poster with the characters on it alongside the manga chapter.

I'd be more than happy to be wrong here, but I honestly think it would be best not expect something bigger to still pop up and just be excited if, by some miracle, there is something else.

A poster with 6 new character designs telling us that a new saga will start airing in about a month seems like a big announcement to me.

I want my Ultimate Mission 3 :x

I bet Piccolo will have Dende take him to New Namek, merge with everyone there but Muuri and then force Dende to shut up. That's how he'll be able to fight in the tournament. And then, the seed Piccolo Daimaou planted some thirty/fourty years ago will finally blossom!

TheDevilsCorpse already nailed it. Fans, including those of you here, tend to overstate what's been announced, overhype what's being teased, and overexpect what should probably be expected.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is another example of that.

Then tell me this: how is it that the high quality promotional poster of Universe 6 arc designed by Tadayoshi Yamamuro released 2 days before the supposedly big announcement day?

As far as I'm aware, Toei strictly prohibits any leaks to the public.

This is not the announcement. It's an unknown announcement that we are still waiting for.

Because it's a page from a magazine that material is actively and consistently leaked from days ahead of time due to printing and shipment realities. This is nothing new.

Toei and Shueisha can try and limit all they want, but it doesn't prevent leaks. See: broken news of Kai and Heroes from this very website you're reading right now.
