The Future Trunks arc is not finishing in the Manga this month, so if the manga is to go ahead of the anime then maybe we will be getting training episodes before the tournament, which will be great.

Hope so, there's a high chance of that happening if the next 2 episodes are anything to go by

Blatantly Vegeta will refuse to work with Goku until the very final Universe saving match.

He only said he would be ahead not his Manga.
...but in the near future I'll be ahead, so the information will be going back to them.
Given the PV he is ahead, regardless of when his Manga version is released. It seems they've both been working together on it behind closed doors, Toei have been producing "filler" and his Black arc stuff was being released.

I just shared the image with two friends of mine. I said the new god of destruction looked like Ganon, one friend said he looked like torbjorn and the other friend said he looked like Gimli. Hooray for dwarf god.

Wouldn't he have been ahead of the anime during the Future Trunks arc as well unless he took forever to draw.

Nice to see a God of Destruction that it is not a cat. I dig the new GoD.

Maybe not Ganon, but the new GoD gives me strong early LoZ artwork vibes.

Disappointed the new GoD is not another animal, but at least is not another cat and I'm glady surprised for that.
Really thought Toriyama would take the easier way out. After Champa turned out to be a fat Beerus, I can't be much more disappointed than I was back then.

The angel looks ok. I approve both. Now I'm curious to know if their pair is a young chill out duo.

To avoid repeating myself and the Arena looks quite disappointing either, no planetary scenarios then, lame.

So we have 2 character designs released so we should have at least now have 132 more to show.

105/106 fighters it depends on whether Frost is going to be there, 9 Gods, 9 assistants and at least 9 kais.

Maybe Zeno will change the stadium as the match progreses and what are you expecting from a new GoD design another cat?

The new god of destruction will look better in the anime just like Zamasu,Black Goku,Whis,Beerus because it looks always strange when they reveal the
character designs for the first time

You mean Toriyama's art is strange, as the designs are always first revealed by his drawing.

Nah, just for them keep the Egyptian theme, it would be nice. I was expecting a hawk next.

Not really. I don't remember anyone complaining about Zamasu design, some pointed that he look cooler than East Kaioshin

All hail God of Destruction Gimili!
Inbefore it turns out it's Beerus after REALLY letting himself go.
When Super apparently shoves Goku down our throats:

Really hope the new God of Destruction's name is a pun on "stout".

That new god of destruction design, is really, truly making my Scottish senses tingle, ferociously. Also doesn't help with the fact that his design is the best in the franchise :mrgreen:

I truly hope there is a God of Destrucion based on nordic mythology and one in greek mythology. Make it happen, Toriyama! :roll:

Found this interesting comment on youtube, which may be the direction Toriyama is going:
I get the feeling the Gods of destruction are being based off gods of real life religions. Beerus and Chompa look like Egyptian Pharos. This new GoD looks like a god of Viking lore Odin. I wouldn't be surprised if we see an elephant looking GoD someone who throws lightning bolts like Zeus.
In the last trailer there's a GoD much bigger than all the others, who could turn out to be the elephant following this logic.
Looking back Goku is also inspired from Sun Wukong, the Monkey King.

The theories of them all being cats or egyptian theme are out the window now.
