Also, please stop creating misinformation, the little tidbit regarding Sidra is about his personality and how apparently it makes him incompetent at his job. Power isn't mentioned at all.
Who said anything about U9 getting their butts kicked :P

As far as we know, U7 could get wiped and is only spared out of Zen'o mercy.
Yeah, that could be the case. But reading his bio, I can already see the set up. Of course that's just my prediction.

I find it a bit inconvenient that the Elder Kaioshin is also known as Rou Kaioshin and now this guy has the same name. Oh well, I guess it won't cause much trouble since nobody calls him that anyways.

There are several villains in other anime that rank higher than many of the heroes, and Freeza and Majin Buu are in the top 10.
If Freeza became good, I guarantee he'd be in top 6.

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.

Man Toei sure is cheap when it comes to VA, there are tons of awesome VA's now that can make the show 10x better.... not gonna be surprised if the big bald alien dude's gonna be voiced by Nozawa.

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.

Frost didn't specialized in poison. He just happened to used poison when backed into a corner.

You know, I wonder if there were would be no rules against using poisons, weapons, etc. I mean if Bergamo is described as using poison then maybe it wouldn't be against the rules. But it also mentions he doesn't win fair so maybe it would be Frost 2.0

The way supreme kais description reads and his shocked face reactions, it seems to me Universe 9 is gonna get beaten hard..
Sure they might get one win, but they lose..

They're getting lazy with the Kaioshin names, huh.

I hope Kai is not a copy-paste of Zamasu.

My guess for why so many One Piece VAs is with the large quantity of new characters it's easier to be cheap.

I think if this were an arc with only a few new characters they'd pay to get more expensive talent.

I like them. It will be interesting to see how Bergamo fights and if poison will be legal in the tournament. It's a new trend of Toriyama I'm liking: characters using unfair methods to win.

I can see Rat Hakaishin having the same voice as Chopper

Shigeru Chiba should almost confirmed to be voicing Clown Hakaishin(Great news), Cleopatra might have Mais voice(besides they look similar).

I feel the only reason they got Shinchiro Miki for Zamasu was because he was already hired for OP to voice Pedro, so DBS got very lucky.

Yeah, goku has a record in super of getting caught by dirty tricks, wouldn't be surprised if he ends up being poisoned and gohan has to take out the poison guy and the big brother

Why would Goku fight second?

I knew the Dwarf would be Universe 9 GoD. I had a hunch because of the way he was revealed early but not shown in trailer (first one). My guess is that Sidra, Rou and Universe 9 are going to be wiped out. I could see Zeno looking at him and thinking "ok your universe lost...and as a GoD yourself, you're indecisive and don't have what it takes...bye bye"

Surprised we didn't see Sidra's Angel on this list either.

It would be amazing if Gohan handled Bergamo and Lavenda all by himself. I really hope Toriyama didn't put him there to job to Bergamo's poison.
