I'm 100% sure the universal destruction threat is just a motivator

Zeno is either bluffing and will lie to the contestants about wiping out their universe (perhaps showing them a simulacrum of that happening), or he will indeed wipe them out, but give others free rein to restore them using the Super DBs.

The Super Dragon ball will probably be used. Destroying the universe will make for a tense tournament which will make all the fighters fight to the max. Also this must mean we will not get things like Vegeta telling Piccolo to let him go as they can't take any risks.

One possible reason why it could be 10 fighters per universe is so that the Zeno's make sure 100% they don't blow up the universe that has the best fighters overall and not just the universe who has the best single fighter.

Still, the losing universes are to be destroyed. We're not sure what "losing" entails just yet, but it's abundantly clear that the threat of annihilation is to make the fighters go all out, and perhaps even do self-destructive maneuvers to make the battles more dramatic and intense. The stakes have never been higher after all

Yeah if all universes are destroyed wouldn't that put all the kais out of work and what would happen to keeping Balanced and all that.

I believe the balance issue is only within a single universe. A Supreme Kai creates worlds while the GoD destroys others. That's the balance that was mentioned.

Another form of balance would be how universes are mirrored with each other. Universe 6 to Universe 7.

This is probably why 6 universes were destroyed by Zeno. He probably only destroyed 5 and it destroyed the 6th due to keeping balance. This is just a theory tho.

If U6 is destroyed, you can't use the Super DBs. We've seen what the Omni-King is capable of, this isn't a bluff.

Zeno is a OP child. How dangerous that can be it was already mentioned, when Beerus/Whis said he already destroyed Universes on a whim.
He also destroyed FT Trunks timeline without a second thought.

I'm loving the direction they are going with his character, showing how a unrestrained monster he can be. It's not a motivator, but I do think he also can create Universes.
I'm interested to see Goku reactions toward his actions. Especially when the time for U7 or U6 disappear comes.

[Araki]

That would be completely out of character for Zen'oh. He destroyed universes before, it's nothing to him.

This is also what I'm looking forward to. I mean imagine you meet a young art student and he's really cool. Then one day he's Hitler...you'd be seriously confused and messed up.

It's sort of the same premise. Goku meets Zeno and the king of all seems like a nice dude. They become "friends" and Goku doesn't see why everyone is so scared. Then BAM multiverse killing spree. Your friend isn't who you thought he is buddy.

[Freeza9000]

I'm pretty sure Zeno would have no qualms doing that considering what he did to Trunks's timeline.
