At this point, I think I'm convinced that they could go to the lengths of bringing Cell back and include Gohan in the poster of the arc, and then the arc would all be about Goku and Cell's relationship, whilst Cell would completely ignore Gohan's existence.

I wonder if Roshi getting an active role here will finally get him added to the games? It's weird how all games covering RoF content seem to be ignoring Roshi - neither Xenoverse 2 nor Fusions bothered adding him.

Gohan is in his orange gi and his Buu saga ultimate look, rather than the lame green tracksuit he wore in the Freeza movie, and people think Gohan isn't going to get his moment of glory this time? On top of all the hints they dropped about Gohan recently and Toei being well aware people want to see him in the action again?

I really do hope to see Goten, Trunks, Yamcha, and Chiaotzu joining them.

I mean, Goku, Gohan, and Vegeta WITHOUT Goten and Trunks in that pic is going to feel all kinds of weird to me.

Also, with Yamcha (gradually) getting more and more street cred and overall respect back, I feel like it would be one hell of a waste to have MASTER ROSHI of all people be there, and not him. Heck, it's still one of the things that truly pissed me off about ROF.

With Tien getting involved, I can't help but feel that similar to Yamcha, Chiaotzu just HAS to be there. Also, I was VERY ticked off at Chiaotzu not taking part in ROF as well.

How crazy would it be if they were cropped out the picture because the leaker wanted everyone to be surprised when the full picture shows that they've aged!? It'd probably make a bigger impact than Gohan and A17 being shown in the promo pic.

Before the FT arc I totally wouldn't have been surprised. Cell would probably even mention that he came back for revenge against Goku because he beat him last time.

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.

They'll probably make them grow closer to Goku than Gohan. Hopefully that means they'll just age up at around 15 or 16.

I am totally convinced if Cell ever came back he'd not give as much of a shit about Gohan and would all be about Goku. Hell I am convinced that if the Cell arc was ever changed or redone, Gohan would never have been the one to kill Cell and it'd have been Goku or maybe Trunks (Which to be honest the latter wouldn't have been a bad choice)
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

If it was changed, I'd rather have Vegeta be the one to win after Trunks' death.

Well, it's not like Gohan actually did anything prior to the Cell Games, so changing the one who beats Cell wouldn't be a bad choice.

According to Herms the words "take the field" and "team" are in the the leaked photo

so it might be a tournament arc.

For people who hardly know Dragon ball, Vegeta and Piccolo are the most iconic as they get Goku and Gohan mixed up.

But for fans its usually Goku, Vegeta, Gohan Future Trunks and Piccolo not Goten and Trunks.

If that happened it would be the best dragon ball thing ever. If it is a battle royale it would be so crazy and it would be like Fairy tail's Grand magic games but 4 times the amount of people. The fighting combinations between characters would be great along with the general interactions.

Here's my guess - a big team based survival game taking place in some distant planet - each universe represented by a team of 10 warriors. We'll only actually see the warriors that the U7 team meets though, which would save Toriyama from making designs for all of them. There also could be various minor matches against opponents that Toriyama won't even bother designing (and will just take place off screen in the manga) - that will allow the anime to add extra battles and enemies, slowing down a lot compared to the manga. So, the manga would stay ahead this time like Toyotaro said.

Yes this could be good. There would be so many new characters. This basically means that there is no real 'main character'.
