World building?

That could be used when those guys would be part of the main plot?

I have a feeling they're saving the best for later arcs. I can't wait.

[SansrivaaL]

If they really dont plan on including the other universes then yeah... I'm 80% sure we're in for more arcs after this.
Kind of a waste tho, I wanted all of the universes top fighters to participate.

[sintzu]

So will universes 1,12,5&8 take part in the tournament but not get erased if they lose or are they not taking part at all ?

They're exempt and most likely will not participate if given the option to join freely.

[Jinzoningen MULE]

And Universes 5 and 8 being immune to the "erase rule"

They're not immune to being erased, they won't be competing in the tournament at all.

That does mean they're immune to being erased in regards to the tournament. Unless Zeno just gets bored and destroys them for shits and giggles, they're totally safe.

In that case there'll be a lot more content for Super to use after u7 becomes among the top 5 universes.

One thing they could do is a tournament to decide which is the strongest universe out of those 5.

That would be awesome. Since the Grand Priest is the top fighter out of the multiverse, and the other four are most likely from those universes not in the current tournament, then whoever wins can get training from the Grand Priest.

Do anyone thinks Daishinkan aka The Grand Priest is the mastermind behind Zeno's actions? Or you guys really believe that two Kings having the mental age of 5 years old children would be capable to evaluate all universes according to the qualities of their living mortals?

[Cipher]

Do anyone thinks Daishinkan aka The Great Priest is the mastermind behind Zeno's actions?

Yes.

They are way too coy about how they're presenting all the information about the tournament. We never hear any of it come from the Zenos' mouths. The mortal ranking system is also absurdly nitpicky and complex for Zeno based on everything we know about him/her/it.

Then you have the whole bit about angels alone being kept alive after the erasure of their universes. For what purpose? Apparently this was a shock even to the Kaioshin and Beerus.

There ought to be six additional (inactive?) angels out there somewhere too.

I do think he's masterminding now that I know all his kids are being spared.

I also can't imagine the Omni Kings caring enough to do all that math.

I've been hesitant to jump on Grand Priest is evil train but this is actually starting to get suspicious.

Same. I'm not ready to say that he's up to something for sure, but there were definitely a few yellow flags that were thrown out this episode. Then again, Toyotaro's Vados was also throwing out some odd, aggressive signals before the first tournament, but nothing came of that.

[Makai]

I have a feeling that once this arc is over, the next one will involve the gods from Universes 1, 5, 8 and 12 as the big bads of that arc. They all do look pretty troublesome as well.

2 of those GoD's have design's I thought were the worst of all (1,5). Ugh, i wouldn't have minded if 1,5 were part of the "crappy" universes group and we had another set of universes be part of these 4. Uni 12 and 8 look fine though.

I wonder if he concocted this plan when he saw Goku interact with Zeno, he probably figured he could pin the blame on Goku.

[FortuneSSJ]

Looks like Zeno was thinking about destroying the weaker Universes anyway from the start. Goku just gave a chance for his Universe to survive, and if Uni7 wins and he gets the Super Dragon Balls, he can revive the erased Universes if he feels like it. What a Hero.

People that were so quick to criticize Goku and spam so many hate about him must feel pretty stupid now.
Time to come up with some excuses and send the news. Make it the front page please.

I've been thinking the angles were the true villains ever since RF.

Yeah, I'm not 100 percent on board but I'm getting there. You're right about Vados though, she was throwing out similar signals in the beginning so maybe it's nothing. Although, I have to say that the Grand Priest's are more intense. Either way, I feel like this arc is going to be even better than I was expecting.

[Chuquita]

Maybe Whis' dad is less "grand priest" and more "royal vizier"?

The Omni Kings aren't blameless, but they are somewhat the sultan from Disney's Aladdin in a way.
