Maybe episode 36 is Cabba showing Vegeta what he can do, and episode 37 is Vegeta showing Cabba SSJB?

It happened briefly - Piccolo vs Garlic Jr.
Ah that's right, that did happen for a few seconds.

I was referring to when he (Piccolo) turned into a giant. I don't think it lasted very long.

Since Cabba does not know what SSj, my guess that his battle will be:

1 - Cabba is very weak and loses very quick
2 - Cabba has some high tech battle suit that he could use in battle
3 - Cabba has a special transformation that no one has seen before that only Saiyans in Universe 6 has
4 - Cabba could go SSj4 and just don't call SSj4 as "Super Saiyan 4". They can treat SSj4 as a new form in the story for Super.

I'd like to see SSJ4 come back but it's more likely Cabba is either piss ass weak or he's just monstrously powerful in his base form. A nice change from the Saiyan's of U7 who've got transformations out the arse.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

The fact that they're going so quickly through the tournament matches make me think this is just a setup for something bigger. I mean, it might not be, but we've had two incredibly short arcs in a row before this. Would they seriously make ANOTHER incredibly short arc after it?

They could. But if they do, it would definitely feel like they have no idea what they're trying to do with the series, so they're just throwing things at the wall and seeing what sticks. Which might be the case, but I hope it isn't.
I could have gotten into anything...and yet I chose the story aimed at young Japanese boys about martial arts, and later about super-powerful aliens punching each other really hard.

We know for sure that there's 52 episodes so if this ends with 37 then that'll leave us with 15 episodes.

They could be a direct continuation to the tournament or a completely new arc set in u7 or 6 depending on who wins the final battle.

I'm fairly certain Monaca will lose to Hit. In promotional pieces in Japan, we see hints that Goku will end up fighting Hit at some point. My guess is Hit defeats Monaca and tries to do something excessive, so Goku steps in.

I predict that Vegeta will just fight him in his base form. Just as with Goku against Botamo and Frost, Vegeta is likely to fight in whatever form he adjudges to be needed to get the job done.

Do you have proof to back your claim that we have 52 episodes altogether than let us know where you found it, as far as I know we don't have an exact no. Of how many eps there will be, we only have 52 no. Of eps that will be aired on toonami Asia in english, that doesn't mean we will only have 52 eps....

Think the comment is supposed to be read as 52 minimum.

They are rushing the tournament even more than I thought! At this rate the tournament will be finished at episode 40 like people speculated a few pages back.
Damn!

That still doesn't tell us we will have only 12 more eps maybe u6 arc is longer plus there's room for so much to happen before we get to eoz time line also who knows super might surpass eoz time line that be awesome I highly doubt super will be done so soon....

Err. I am agreeing with you, not disagreeing! And I also just read Sintzu's post as at least 52 episodes not only 52 episodes.

3 is the most plausible fromt them all.

Also, I wanna know if Piccolo kills Frost or not. I'm sure there's more in Frost's character than just that "saving the universe" talk.

Why do ppl think piccolo might kill frost ,if he does he will be disqualified, judging by the ep title of ep35 piccolo is fighting magetta so no he won't kill frost

The 3rd option would be the one that I wanted, but Its probably the 5th.
Cabba doesn't have a transformation and he's just that strong in his base form, like Mystic Gohan.
