This would be hard to pull without becoming shit show even if toriyama himself wrote the whole manga..

I am 100℅ sure toie can't pull this off without us hating Goku's guts for it..This could actually be the point where super fully breaks for me, not looking forward to the franchise going this way

Eh, I'm fine with selfish Goku so long as there's other characters to pick up the slack.

If Goku does win without giving a crap about the stakes here, where he may have a chance of fighting them again in the actual tournament anyways then I'll probably hate the franchise for going this way, they're trying too hard to make everyone that watches it hate Goku.

This time it's a point where good execution of this concept is very important..
It's absolutely necessary for goku to correctly access this situation and maturely make a decision, any half assesery with this will result in absolute disaster..

Toie going stupid with this isn't good, fans would be really upset here..

Yeah, this is precisely what the reaction will be from my side and probably a large part of fandom too..

Goku isnt a person, he's a character, but I get your point, yeah thats what they're trying to do here.

This really is it. Goku actually has a choice now to end the destruction and if he wins intentionally then thats a wrap.

this will be more controversial than vegetto.

I'm pretty sure the point will be for us to dislike Goku, he'll probably get lots of shit from Beerus and everyone else for not throwing the match as well.

I think i may be the only one here who want Goku to win. Goku being a selfish asshole makes his character much more interesting in my opinion.

Maybe you should just watch and find out instead of freaking out about a story that you don't have the details on.
Maybe this arc will be character development for Goku where he realizes just how selfish he is.

I am more shocked than freaked out, this wasn't the direction I hoped this franchise to go..
We know what the twist will be, the very name of this arc is universe survival arc..
Now all that's left is for goku to maturely Handel this, which I am not very sure on looking at super's history..

hey, i have been a strong defender of goku in super, but let me tell you something: Goku has a legit chance to stop massacre of trillions of lives if he win sintetionally knowing that.

Goku becomes Cell.

In this arc they've already emphasized Goku's selfish nature and had characters berate Goku for what's happening and now it looks like the rest of the multiverse is going to be turned against Goku. I don't see this story playing out without Goku realizing how selfish he is, be it after his win against Universe 9 or later in the arc.

Likewise with my earlier message, he's not exactly quoted on calling anyone a successor. He praises her, too.

There is definitely more to this than meets the eye. Even super Goku isn't that blood knighty.

I think we might finally have a story arc in Dragon Ball that brings Goku's morality into question, and I think that's awesome and a ballsy move.

So goku has a possibility to willingly fight an opponent he could have the chance of facing again by knowingly endangering the universe which he dosen't even know the super Dragonballs can fix or not..
Great, thats exactly what was not supposed to happen..

This would be easier to digest if goku throwing this match would result in omni king not pleased and uni 7 being destroyed

Spoilers are awesome. Question, do you guys think Goku is winning?
