You'll lose hope in a saga because of the possibility of Gohan losing to a character who has a design you don't like?

Most of the team will have victory and loss, I really don't see the problem with Gohan losing this match.

To me Wolf with the scarf look better than the grey alien that is probably the or one of the strongest in the tournament.

Hmmm I was wondering if Beerus and Champa come form the same universe as the other cat man...I wonder how they will act around their universes god of destruction?

If he's old enough they must lived in fear of him until their ascension and possibly even till this day if he's stronger then them.

Dear god. Poor Beerus already has the potential death of his brother hanging over him, he doesn't need more family members dyeing because of Goku.

But I personally dont think that is the case, Beerus and Champa are so old that multiple generations kaioshin have come and gone during their time as GoD. At this point everyone they ever knew should be dead by now. I bet they'll be shocked to discover that some of their race are even still around.

Maybe their race lives longer, we don't know if the Gods of Destruction gain eternal youth or somthing from being ones or not.

Crazy theory time.

"What if this is an elaborate way to make everything fit with the end of Z. All other universes are wiped out, Goku and Vegeta lose their god obtained powers, Beerus naps for years like he is supposed to, and they maybe or not mind erase them.........ooooooh Guys don't actually take this way too seriously.

True, Hit's over a 1000 years old and Frieza's race might be long lived. Buu's been around since forever to. However I would find it odd (but acceptable) that their is a race out there with lifespans that rival or out right surpass that of kaioshins.

Maybe that's one of the reasons Beerus was picked, you need to be somone who can live for a while

Super can work with EOZ without any string-tying. There's the "we haven't seen you in 5 years" stuff but we can chalk it up to being an error on Bulma's part. Gohan goes back to being a scholar, Mai and friends don't have to appear at the tourney, or better yet, they can be written out. If they do the "Vegeta becomes God of Destruction" thing they can just have him still reside on Earth part-time. Beerus only had to do his job every hundred years or so. 17 can be off living his life.

GT on the other hand is a little more complicated. They would have to explain why the Gods and other universes just aren't mentioned anywhere throughout the entire series, SSG and SSB included.

There's no going back. Even if Gohan fights, he is a scholar. No changing that. He can do both at the same time you know.

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.

Not sure why some are shocked about these wolf designs like we have never seen them before.

We have seen wolves/foxes act as regular earthlings back in Dragonball. The mayor was a dog too, many forget this.

I can already see the people who will be disappointed by this arc just by their expectations.

and in no way look like Basil and Bergamo?

These new wolfs look awesome and dangerus while the old ones really did look like mutts.

Without a Toriyama comment on the new arc we can't say for sure, but Gohan's obviously been brought back as a relevant character to the story now. I wouldn't be surprised if Toei themselves were pushing for it considering his popularity either - similar to how Toriyama brought back Future Trunks due to a suggestion from the editorial staff.
Assumption. Toriyama never said what the suggesting was. It could have been 'evil Goku' as far as you know.

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.

You know I really don't know who deserves to shine most in this tournament. Everyone here besides Goku and Vegeta need some form of redemption but it's nearly impossible for them all to get their chance here.

I'm with you, I want everyone to have a good fight, not just the main caste but also the new fighters. Everyone deserves to get a good showing. I don't mind to much who wins and looses as long as the fights are good with as little jobbing as possible.

I will personally never understand the fandom's obsession with shine.
