The New Gods of the Universe Survival Arc Discussion Thread

I was wondering what alcohol the strongest GoD or Angel would be named after...so I looked it up

Spirytus Rektyfikowany is, and I'm not kidding here, 96% Alcohol! Its the strongest drink in the world!

Their are a lot of name puns you could make with that....or just go with a spine on Vodka.

I hope they do something with the clown. Out of all of them and I think a lot of people feel the same, the clown seems the most interesting.

I could see him as a real good villain in my mind. Hopefully he's more Joker and less Buggy.

Majin Boo did nothing in the opening. He's about to job hard.

At least he got invited to a preliminary match. I don't hold openings to such a significant pedestal in terms of character relevance.

He is by far the most "Dragon Ball" villain out of all the god of destruction. He's so outlandish looking yet he gives of an aura of destruction and chaos.

I hoe he's a Buggy, if Buggy could actually kick ass (Funny thing, Buggy could of been one of the most powerful characters due to his abilites if he just tried harder).

Also, of coourse they'll do somthing with the clown, the intro is focusing on his universe specifically. With his universe's fight getting the most screen time on the opening, as well as him getting a close up shot while all the other Gods and their universes are in a trailing background shot.

Just name him alcohol then lol.

I think I know why Sidra and his Kaioshin aren't in the arc preview.

It's because they get eliminated in the show match for Zeno, before the tournament proper even begins. Sucks ass for the poor dude.

So the buff grey alien goku's fighting in the op what do you guys/gals think his gimmick will be ?

I think it will be something involving his eyes ( like at the U6 tournament when jaco was about to see how frost was cheating ) maybe he only has see what a person can do once remember it and come up with a way to defend against it or cancel it

So you mean precog? Regardless, who really knows what he'll have. The OP that had Hit in it, didn't reveal that Hit had Time-skipping powers (to my recollection), so who really knows what this guy has. I find it quite interesting that (if he is the hooded man) why he's the only one with his God of Destruction, especially since it's not even his universe fighting in this preliminary match. It could be that if Mutant Jaco is the hooded man, then he might be observing the fights, which could be how he develops an interest in Goku.

Yes that's basically what I'm saying and him being at the preliminary is what brought that idea to me ( if the hooded guy is him) what if he's there to scout the competition

A Kaiôshin named "Kai". Nice job Akiria Toriyama, you just F'ed up the FUNimation Super dub!

[DainIronfoot]

They could easily just change the pronunciation in the funi dub. Instead of pronouncing it as Ka-Eye they could say it like Ka-ee.

I mentioned this in the official discussion also. I think this is what's going to happen, poor Sidra going to be destroyed with his uni...:/

I could see it happen. Going from the NEP, the hooded man (assuming it's Mutant Jaco) is the only participant near the God of Destruction. You might be right.

If I'm right this guy could be really dangerous

True, though he'd probably be dangerous regardless.

Looks like the use of the Elephant based on Ganesh is causing controversy in India and are asking for the withdrawal of the character.

The site is in Spanish but I've added the translated tidbits here:

"It is a trivialization of our venerated divinity and a distortion of our worshiped Lord Ganesha as a god of wisdom and obstacle remover, which is always invoked before the beginning of any major enterprise, " said Rajan Zed, president of the Universal Society of Hinduism in a statement on their website.

Emphasizing the importance of Lord Ganesha, Zed made it clear that Ganesha is worshiped in temples and homes and should not be categorized as an evil character in a TV series for greed. Expressing dismay, Zed urged Toei Animation from Tokyo, the producers, and FUNimation Entertainment from Texas to remove the character from the series for his similarity to Ganesha.

"The inappropriate use of deities or Hindu concepts for commercial purposes is not good, since it harms the devotees," he said. " Hinduism is the oldest and third religion in the world with about one billion adherents and rich philosophical thought." Symbols of any faith, greater or less, should not be mistreated, " said Zed.

He further pointed out that such distorted images of Hindu deities will create disinformation and confusion among non-Hindus regarding Hinduism.

In this tournament the Gods are just spectators. Even if the clown is an asshole (well, for me all of them are assholes) i doubt that he will do something. Maybe they will kill the participants if they lose.

I would say its a very smart idea to bring your best fighter along. The clown knows it was universe 7 who started all this, the best thing you could do during this preliminary fight is bring your best fighter along so scope out this person who wants to fight all the strongest warriors.

I've also wondered....could this guy have done what Vegeta and Goku didn't? Are he and his team mates Gods of Destruction in training?

Beer apparently, from what I've heard, has a very low amount of actual alcohol in it. Goku Black expresses his happiness at the fact that the most "troublesome" GoD is gone (Beerus) in the Manga. it definitely seems like Beerus is at least one of the strongest, if not the strongest Hakaishin going by that quote.
