The Dragon God Zarama is probably the strongest person in universe 6 or 7.
I don't think so.
Dende created the Dragon Balls, but he is weak. Even Roshi is stronger than him. Maybe even Mr. Satan could win in a hand to hand fight.
The same to The Elder Guru.

Siince the Super Dragonballs can wish for absolutely anything, I think he could be the strongest character.

Maybe the dragon god zarama is the creator of super dragon balls. Would make sense that the guy can make things which can grant any wish.

But the Dragon Balls from Earth can do almost anything, and Dende isn't strong. Maybe Zarama is only powerful in magic, create things...But in fight i don't think so...It should be like Dende and The Elder Guru.

I wonder whether actually anybody will be able to state his wish to the Divine Dragon in the first place. Didn't Zuno specifically say that anyone who wants to summon the dragon should chant "appear, Divine Dragon, and grant my wish, pretty peas" in the language of the gods? So unless the likes of Beerus, Whis or even the Kais do speak this language, maybe no wish will be granted after all, or at least for the time being until U7 Team go learn about this language.

It's the same length as BOG & RF.

At least they're not rushing this :

Ewww, looks horrible. Its like a zombie anime...

Whis probably does. Maybe episode 2's filler of Whis talking to the dinosaur-defeating alien isn't as irrelevant as we thought it was.

^ Good point, I completely forgot about that scene. If Whis is able to speak a random language like that one, it probably hints to the fact that he's able to speak any other language of the universe.

Only the top right image has something "new" or, at least, some mild differences in the summaries we already had.

40 "The conclusion, at last! Is the winner Beers? Or is it Champa?"

The summary is pretty much the same as the one we had for episode 39 version 1 (or was it 2? Well, the one that talked about the Kaiouken): Goku counters the "Tokitobashi", Hit keeps improving and Goku "finally uses the Kaiouken, which had been sealed". I should note that, like Herms has explained, this "sealing" is metaphorical and not to be taken at face value although I'm starting to think, based on this more direct description, that Goku will actually mention the reason for having stopped using it ever since Namek.

41 "Come Forth, Dragon of the Gods, and Grant My Wish Pretty Peas"

Tournament ends. Champa, "from Universe 7" (c'mon summary, don't mistake the numbers!), wants to destroy his contestants and that's when "a certain character" appears (I'll admit it'll be funny seeing people thinking the summary is talking about the "future-related" guy Toriyama hinted at instead of the most likely conclusion that is Monaka/Zalama).

So if the placeholder title is just "Then, the Super Dragon Balls," that doesn't really imply a wish will be granted in the episode. It could easily be (and I hope it is) hinting that finding the last one will become the focus after the tournament, starting with that episode.

The other one is a bit more specific, but still doesn't necessarily mean we'll see a wish made. I just can't imagine it not feeling very convenient and rushed.

I just hope Pilaf does not show up out of nowhere for the wish. In the manga, we did saw them but the anime remove them. I do worry that we will find out that they where hiding this whole time.

Let's see the execution before declaring it doesn't make sense. That wouldn't be fair to the anime staff if we dismissed it without giving it a chance to explain itself, although the translations seem to hint that Goku is doing this as a desperation move.

Version 1
Vegeta challenges Hit using Super Saiyajin Blue but Hit's technique, "Tokitobashi", deals a barrage of hits in his vital points and makes him faint. Son Goku is able to guess how Hit's "Tokitobashi" works and thus, while in Super Saiyajin Blue state, he also challenges Hit.

Version 2
Hit can skip time but only for 0.1 seconds. Estimating past those 0.1 seconds, Goku defeated the "Tokitobashi". But, Hit continues to grow (stronger?) while in battle. So, Goku breaks the seal of the Kaiouken and shoots a Kamehameha!

I mean, that if he can use kaioken why not use against cell when needed? Why not use against buu when needed?

It would have killed him in the Buu arc. SS3 was tiring enough. In the cell arc it would have made more sense. Either way, why don't you wait for the episode and your questions might be answered.

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

I know this sounds like something out of fan-manga, but I hope Goku absorbs Shenron and Vegeta Porunga to make them stronger and to also eliminate the other Dragon Balls at the same time. It could have been foreshadowed with Super's Volume 1 art covers, or it could just be... art. I got that idea from Heroes when Goku does that God kamehameha Shenron like attack.
