I am not getting my hopes up. I saw the U6 tournament. I saw the stuff Kei said surrounding the Black arc. I want to get so hyped right now....but I just know without seeing anything yet...I can't. Especially from the U6 arc. I wanna root for Gohan so bad to FINALLY make a grandiose return....but I'm almost certain they're the J.O.B. squad for Goku and Vegeta.
We can dream mate. Mystic Blue Gohan is coming :lol:

Nah, Goku and Vegeta are the JOB squad for [insert God here] and the others are the secondary JOB squad.

I...I'm lost for words from what I've seen and read. A multiverse tournament? Android 17 returning? All of the cast potentially getting in on the action? Take my motherfucking money now. This arc already has the makings of something truly phenomenal. I will not forgive Toei or Toriyama if they bait-and-switch us with certain cast members getting involved in a tournament like they did in the Champa arc.

EDIT: "Universe Survival Arc" is the greatest name for an arc I've ever heard.

It will depend if they are going to be divided in groups.

Jobbers will definitely be Roshi,Krillin,Goten and maybe Tenshinhan.

We don't have the whole picture, Piccolo is in the picture and we can only see his arms.
Maybe Gotenks is there, maybe not.

I think if this is the Multiverse Tournament then "Universe Survival Arc" means them fighting to the death, with the OmniKing bringing them back to life after.

It is almost certainly a war like arc.

We need that information that is going to released this coming weekend.
Simple, because Gohan has the most fanbase among the other characters shown ofc besides Goku and Vegeta.
But this scan has the same meaning for all characters as they are all ready to fight. How can you only be excited for Gohan and not the other as well.

The Gohan thing even happens when he makes a 1 second appearence in an episode though.

Nah Goku and Vegeta aren't the J.O.B. squad. You're not a jobber just cause you lose. Goku and Vegeta constantly have momentum built up for them even with a spotty record. Not to mention how they are sold to us as the audience. The others are not even close to as highly regarded. They only beat bigger losers than them, or are poor enhancement talent as they aren't strong enough to even work as good ways of making the bad guys look tough. So they even fail at that.

Didnt Mai save the "divine duo" twice in the Trunks Arc?

I called those 4 to be the jobbers of their respective groups for clear reasons.

Roshi: He is old.
Goten: Background character and was also the jobber in the Bio Broly movie
Krillin: Going back to his DB roots, and Toei likes to mock him like they did with Yamcha
Tenshinhan: Sadly he will also job after he drains his life energy with his new Kikoho.

Ah she saved them...for them to save her in return and everyone else......thus is the status quo. For Trunks you see, was a time anomaly. Zeno bae chan knew this, and obliterated his universe. They then disposed of him to another universe to reset the status quo, thus saving the multi-verse before it exploded from a paradox.

Ok, these are the episode titles for 18th (Goku dies....) and 25th December.
"Piccolo and the others" is mentioned in the second episode. Can't tell much more :D

Yeah. I know we don't have the full image but Toriyama already ignored him in RoF, he'll probably do it again.

I LOVE that there are 10 Z-Warriors involved, I didn't expect this at all. However I just can't get hyped when Yamcha is getting replaced by Muten Roshi for the second time. I respect Muten Roshi, he's a great master and character.. but he retired back in Piccolo Jr saga. His three students are all much stronger than him. Yamcha might be the weakest Z-Warrior but he's still the 3rd strongest Earthling behind Tien and Krillin. Toriyama fucked me up real good in RoF, now it's even worse because there are 10 characters involved and Muten Roshi is replacing him again.

Of course I'll shut my mouth if Yamcha is indeed in that image, but for now I'm pretty disappointed.

Roshi being there also doesn't make sense since he's so much less powerful than everyone else. Roshi beating Freeza's soldiers is believeable because most of them probably were incredibly weak, but for something like this?

Goten and Trunks might be to the left of Buu with Yamcha and Chiaotzu next to Tien and Piccolo.

Maybe Yamcha's voice actor is busy elsewhere or not that interested in DB anymore, and that's the reason he only appears on stand alone episodes. It's odd that he get sidelined like that. Sure, he's weak, but so is most of the cast right now (compared with THE TWO). For a series guided by fan service seems like a weird decision to ignore a well-liked character.
