I can understand that Oob can get stronger, but more stronger than the Gods and above? its just hard to take.
Why would he have to be stronger than the gods? You only need to accept one thing for the EoZ to still make sense; Oob has the potential to rival Goku in the future. Since Goku is literally training him first-hand for years, it's a pretty reasonable assumption.
Cause of the way they showed the final chapter, like how Goku hasnt been that happy for a long time (implying he hasnt had a challenge and has no one to challenge to make him excited as he is with knowing Oob's potential)
That's your interpretation of it. Even if that is the case, it's such a minor inconsistency that it's not even worth acknowledging. There are grander, more obvious contradictions in the original manga all the time.

The new opening will debut in first episode of the new arc, which would be episode #77 (February 5). If that's what you're asking.
I'm thinking this might be a "timeskip opening" if that makes sense, like how We Gotta Power was for the Buu Saga of Z

So you saw it in a different way? in what way did you see the final chapter of DB? I thought it was obvious that Toriyama implied that in a way.
I'm not really complaining about the inconsistency, hell I dont even care if they retcon EoZ, its not that big of a deal for me. I'm just sharing my opinion.

Given the fact that Bulma will be pregnant and the fact they aren't hinting at it yet there definitely will be a timeskip.

There's not really much of an implication at all, other than Oob's immense potential as a sparring partner, as well as Goku's successor.

That's fine, but they aren't doing that. Now that Bra's being born, we also know that they're trying to keep the continuity straight (well, Dragon Ball levels of straight). There's no reason to think that they'll even try to retcon anything, now.
Baggie_Saiyan wrote:Given the fact that Bulma will be pregnant and the fact they aren't hinting at it yet there definitely will be a timeskip.
It's almost time for Bra to be born, anyway, and we don't know if she'll actually be born yet, or if Bulma will just be pregnant. It's still too soon to tell.

It's says in the ep description that Bra will be born soon and that Bulma's belly is big...

I doubt Vegeta would be nervous if Bra wasn't on the cusp of being born. I predict it'll happen at the end of episode.

Haven't seen someone say it yet, but I think it's very possible for the next tournament format to be like Baba's tournament. It would be cool and it would explain why Goku is the team leader

What I consider canonical

I hope not, I wish to see something new for a tournament, there is always the 1 vs 1 on a ring until somebody fells off the ring, can't fight anymore or if he surrenders, I want to see a 2 vs 2 deathmatch in different scenarios. I mean, the universe which loses will be destroyed anyway so why not a fight until death in the tournament with a partner so there won't be a lot of fights. Or just all members of U1 vs all members of U2 and who stills on his foots is the winner or something like that.

I agree but I'm hoping goku and Vegeta won't do do a tag team together because honestly that would sound really boring and too op I'm hoping to see unique tag team like Vegeta and Gohan Goku and tien etc

The only we info we have for the episode right now is the one from this month's NewType magazine that was translated by Herms days ago. But as per usual, we would probably get more info about the episode in the next Weekly Shōnen Jump issue.

Well, as I was sneakily asking, when did Future Trunks claim "10 years"? I legitimately want to know so that I can profile it.
It's in the Super manga when Goku and Trunks are sparring. Goku says Trunks is amazing and even stronger than Gohan back then as in at the Cell Games and Trunks says it's been 10 years.
That's inaccurate. It's over 10 years.
Image
As noted, the Cell Game is set in AGE 767. During that moment of history, Future Trunks is 17 years separated from the alternate past (AGE 784) & that distance remains unaltered. Oob is described as a "good human kid", with Vegeta, relatively speaking, claiming he's just been born, not that he's a newborn. That's an important distinction.
Kishido wrote:What for gods sake should make him excited about Uub? It is "just" Kid Buu after all...
It's not Oob's current strength that excites Goku, it's his potential which he intends to train out of him. There's nothing off about that & grooming him to be his successor, really.

I'm still not expecting visual character changes, but who knows, maybe Goten and Trunks will finally grow a little.

After reading that, to me it seems like Vegeta is saying something like just because he exists doesn't mean he can participate, I now get that from the "Just Born"

Vegeta also has no idea when Uub was born, he's just saying things.

This is what I have been saying for several posts. Vegeta has no clue when Uub was born. It could have been a month ago as far as he knows.

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.

Episode 77's description claims that Bra will be born SOON. There has to be some sort of timeskip because of that. This makes me hope Goten, Trunks, and Maron will have aged.
