It was a ki blast.

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

I haven't seen Evolution; they have Goku being revived with a Kamehameha there?
Yep, Master Roshi fires a kamehameha straight into Goku's chest.

If this is the tournament, the fact that there will be no rules it's a good thing, but....no villain this time, i guess. IF this is the tournament, anyway (i still think that is too early -.-)

My prediction for the new Arc: They will go to every universe to fight and they must survive and the Ominiking and gods sees them in TV just
like the Hunger Games...

They're the main characters what do you expect :lol:

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.

Goku was dying from the invisible shockwave that Hit shoot directly to his heart but he managed to survive by being hit by a ki blast. Probably Piccolo-style?

This was revealed in a scan on twitter.
Interesting, it seems Vados as angel don't have quite the morals that would make her decline that task (ignoring that could be Champa who ask it)

I mean the dude is flying with other Z-fighters at the end of the intro and is standing with them in ending 3, both of which Roshi doesn't do. This is total bullshit, honestly.
Didn't Yamcha say he retired in the Buu saga?
Didn't Roshi say he retired in the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai arc?

I don't know if Frost is going to return or not to be honest, in this tournament the rules may be the same as the U6 vs U7 tournament.

If he does return he'll probably have Golden Form or something.

For new characters I think we should see a Namekian (I can assume they're evil in this universe) and another Saiyan, and 3 random species characters

so it might be a tournament arc.
10 vs 10 team battle but without rules i think
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.
If it's anything like the GMG arc from Fairy Tail that would be great, there was more to that actual tournament that just fighing rounds and then they had villainous stuff in background too. Toyo's comments about in typical Toriyama fashion it doesn't happen as we expect so I am a little less worried but the U6 arc was really just ehh don't want a repeat.

I dont even know why I keep waiting for Goten and Trunks to do something since Toriyama thinks that an old sack of weak bones that cant even fly like Roshi is more important and stronger than them, super cant stop dissapointing me.

don't you mean for teens? Goten and Trunks are 13 and 14 and if theres a timeskip they will be even older, Gohan had already killed Cell and turned ssj2 at that age

Goten never really was a main guy. He's like a mini Goku, and he doesn't really even have a clear cut personality.

Kid Trunks on the other hand got some development last Arc, but at the end of the day if its a fight to the death which the name of this new arc implies, then obviously their mothers wouldn't let them participate. No sane mom alive would let her 13 year old son participate in a tournament where killing is allowed.

Roshi is a better character simple as that.

Yes, yes he is, make Roshi great again :lol:
There are things that Roshi can offer that Goten and Trunks cant, its wisdom, despite being the old perverted geezer that he is, Roshi's still pretty wise.

Which makes me think that the reason why he's there is for drama, probably someone killing Roshi infront of Goku hence triggers a new form or something, I can just feel it for some reason (and theres Krillin too).

I just realized Gohan and Goku's shoes are different. Gohan's are laced with rope instead of fabric.

We had enough of Saiyans we don't need more. Especially kids that never earned becoming a Super Saiyan, something that their fathers worked very hard on and didn't achieve until they were full grown adults.

And Gohan doesn't deserve his mystic state either. He never earned it. They should replace him with yamcha

I want to talk about the Hit Mini Arc.

I was thinking Goku got a zenkai when he got revived after Hit "killed him", Zenkai started being relevant again during the Trunks Arc, besides Goku is far stronger than his U6 self thanks to Black, who wanted him to be at his peak.
