Who left Piccolo out of the picture?

Is Toriyama actually listening to the fans.

All these characters need to do stuff and maybe some Power ups as well.

I want a Piccolo and 17 tag team.

In the opening, he gets his buu hair back when he goes mystic..
My guess is that it's done to differentiate him from his mystic self

The way Piccolo's arm is portraited, looks like the picture will be a Piccolo in a "prepared for battle" pose. Could be a hint for a power up.

Not just Gohan fans but fans of every character basically.

This does not seem like a tournament but a war arc.
Something that nearly every fan wants.

Just think of the number of different and varied fights we are going to get. This arc will surely be very long as well.

It's official, the next DBS arc will begin the 5th of February in Japan !
It's been released in a double page spread, the next DBS arc -to be announced during Jump Festa 2017 and in the next V-Jump- will officially air starting Sunday the 5th of February 2017 on Fuji TV, in Japan. It will be called "Survivors of the Universe", and it's probable this teases into the multiverse tournament planned by the Omni-King! for this occasion, the selected team seems to be way more complete than during the U6 VS U7 tournament, which may hint for a very long arc...if this is the multiverse tournament indeed, which nothing right now can confirm beside the title.

Gohan and C17 return?
You're not dreaming, it's not Yamcha but Gohan ! Casting does include the regular team, including Gohan and, more surprisingly, C17! It's an occasion to show the birdie to the ones who didn't believe Gohan would make a comeback, for multiple reasons. Stay tuned for more, coming very soon!

Is still not confirmed that is the tournament, but we'll see. Actually, i hope that is a war :)

Resurrection f should have been just that, I just hope they don't rush this arc, take your time and give every character memorable fights..
As for your previous post, Piccolo might be out of the picture either because his appearance has changed ( power up ?) or maybe the photographer assumed an arm is enough to confirm he is there

It really is. Instead of calling it the universal survival arc it should be called the universally loved arc. I absolutely can't wait for tien, krillin,17,18 vegeta, and Gohan fighting.

Imagine this being the last arc but lasting up to 50+ eps due to the large cast and unimaginable match ups we can get, like someone said, the possibilities are infinite if this does turn out to be the multiversal tournament that later becomes a war arc.

I'm jizzing pretty hard. No. 17 is making his return, (Mystic?) Gohan is seemingly back, and Universal Survival arc. This sounds tantalizing!

I've said this long before any of this and I'll say it again: This War Arc or Survival Arc could be a tournament in a way as well. Imagine ten fighters from each Universe in this large planet, and everybody is spread out. It would be a fight to the death against anyone who isn't from your team or universe. Kind of like Hunger Games but you're on a team.

The opportunities to make this arc incredible is virtually limitless.

All this hype, if this turns out to be the last arc of super it would kinda kill it for me..

Well, uub is mentioned but is not here, so there's that hope, super is making a lot of profits it wouldn't be wise to end it..
Don't let this be the end

I just want to see his pose as it looks serious.

Piccolo, Krillin, Tien and Roshi for me. Also Yamcha if he is there.

Yes that would be brilliant.

They could also do it where you have to ration your team by saying that throughout the tournament each fighter can only fight a maximum of 3 fights.

We only see Piccolo's arm because the guy didn't scan/take a picture of the whole thing.

Where is Uub mentioned?
He was mentioned once before ( Champa arc? )
He won't be mentioned if he wouldn't be shown,that gives hope at least they would go to eoz after the universe survival arc, so it's not the end right there..

That's also the first thing I thought of, a Hunger Games between the universes.

I want to see some pics of the guys from the other universes 8)

Damn, Gohan again? That sucks. I was hoping we'd be able to keep him out of the series. I an glad to see Kuririn and Artificial Human #18 together, though. I hope they get to fight together.

I like 17's new look, and enjoy the prospect of him at least making a cameo. Though let's be real, the chances of all these fighters dong anythingmajor in this new arc is rather small. There's hype, then there's staring at the wall behind the screen.

As much as I doubt that would happen, that would be pretty damn good.

I'm keeping my expectations low at this point. I've been tricked before with the Champa Arc, not falling for that again.
