As far as we know they don't remember their previous life, that's why they still are #17 and #18.

Also Uub if an offhand mention doesn't count.

Upa, Bora, Grandpa Gohan. I don't expect them to appear, though.

You never know. Super is completely unpredictable. No one would have guessed Future trunks, 17, or Roshi to do anything. I don't think anyone was guessing that FT's life would end up even worse than it started either. Someone might not like super, but I don't think they can say it's predictable.

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.

A 10 man team is the most surprising thing in Super.

Gohan never a fighting prodigy? Did you even watch the series? How can a 5 year old knock out a full grown Saiyan adult in Raditz if he wasn't a fighting prodigy? How was he able to create a large boulder when Piccolo threw him towards a mountain? Nobody taught him these things, it was just instinct. I can give you so many other examples but then I would be writing an essay.
Gohan only wins when he's overwhelmingly more power than his opponents. It has nothing to do with fighting prowess or technique. His hidden potential was a plot device. Now a tired plot device.
With all due respect, I can't take you seriously when you say blasphemous illogical statements like this. You're saying Gohan "only wins when he's overwhelmingly more powerful than his opponents"? Since when was Gohan overwhelmingly more powerful than Raditz when 5 year old Gohan headbutted him, the best shot anyone gave him all day? He wasn't stronger than Raditz in anyway shape or form, he just had a rage boost, and these fits of rage is something that's built beneath him and wasn't taught, hence why he's considered a fighting prodigy.

When he knocked the breath out of Freeza, he wasn't stronger than Freeza at all. Please clarify what you're saying otherwise I'm not going to take you seriously with anything you have to say.
His power level shot up near or above Radditz if I'm not mistaken. Youre actually agreeing with him as Gohan:

1) Didnt use any "skill" in that move but rather raw power.

2) Caught him totally off guard out of anger.

He basically asks for an example of Gohan being a better Martial Artist than someone and you just proved his point..

According to the Daizenshuu Goten's super saiyan is as strong as Gohan's super saiyan in the boo arc. However, Gohan was clearly in control of the fight when he sparred. People use Goku's ability to copy a kamehameha as an example of him being a talented fighter yet Gohan was able to create his own beam without ever seeing one. Future Gohan in base was able to spar with super saiyan Future trunks. Not sure if canon, but Gohan taught Goten and Trunks how to fight properly in Yo son Goku. Lastly, it's been stated in this thread that Gohan has only beaten a person by overpowering them. Well, he's only lost by being overpowered too. Gohan never got a proper even fight with someone.

Dragon Ball was always a kid series and fans should stop being in denial.

That looks awesome actually!! :shock:
I wonder if two Zenos in the same world will lead to something interesting.

I sincerely hope it's not the last arc. :(

It seems that this is indeed the universal tournament but I think it will be really different.
Thank god we are having like 2 months before this start so there can be a good preproduction for this.

This seems to be the team representing universe 7 and I think it's being held by the 2 Zen-Ohs. I can't make out the rest google translate butchers it too much. I'm getting the vibe of a death match here otherwise I wouldn't see why Roshi and Gohan would step in.

No Yamcha or Trunks/Goten is a travesty.

Now the only question I have is how will Toriyama dispose of the U7 fighters who aren't Goku & Vegeta. He has a lot more on his plate this time around.

I think this one will be a lot better than the last. No way are they going to have Fat Buu miss out on two tournaments. Plus they wouldn't bring back 17 for nothing.

A tournament that starts normally but after a few rounds, Great Priest tries to take control of all 12 universes. Sounds a little crazy because Vados and Wiss will be with him so nobody in the 12 universes will be able to defeat them. That's my theory for this arc.
