With the Tournament being one giant rumble, I'm glad we're getting some down time episodes to build up the team. I hope we catch a peak at the other universes as well.

Definitely the actual, the fan made are flashy and all but that's about it, the actual ones are much more versatile and provide the different universe vibe better to me overall

Funny enough, according to Toriyama, Androids like 17 and 18 can indeed train and grow stronger from it.
Akira Toriyama wrote:In the case of modified-human types like No. 17 and No. 18, since they’re human-based they can become stronger if they train. By the way, though they don’t need to eat, they do need to hydrate. Also, their cells deteriorate slowly, so they age slowly too.

Those episode titles promise some very interesting prep time. It seems that we wont just see U7 getting ready but also some of the others to, which will make for some much more interesting episodes.

I think Beerus, Fox-guy and the Merman are the best from the actual designs, but overall I think the Fan Made are better ignoring the Snake Lady, Piccolo rip off one, Bunny girl and the "Captain Chicken" of course.

But I wonder, they are already stronger because of their body modifications, training with masters like Roshi, Korin or Kami would even benefit them?

Goku benefited from training with Kaio-Sama after the cell games.

PREDICTION:

I think the Clown God gets killed, somehow. Maybe he interfers with the fight between Goku and Toppo and Zeno is like "Hell Nah,not in my house," and kills Clown God. Then, Toppo can't fight in the Tournament because he ascends to the position of God of Destruction. So, bald Alien of Pride Warriors, is super pissed, and thats why we see Goku fighting him, and NOT Toppo.

Obviously some details aren't there, but it could work. Just a thought.

3 episodes fillers, not bad in this case. I think that we'll see the other fighters in all universes. Also i hope to see more of Vermoud, my favorite God after Beerus.

I'm not sure how there can be any doubt they are purposely making Goku look like the bad guy at this point.

I think just about anybody is clear on that.
Goku having those villanious vibes, main rivals are the justice league, yeap, our protagonist is the antagonist, and I love it!

Easy... 17 and 18 were just normal humans modified being Cyborgs with actual no clue behind actual martial artist or ki control...

That's why Toriyama himself said because the are HUMAN based they can become stronger... meaning train the other side and do not just rely on your cyborg powers.

And seeing the opening and 17 with aura may be a clue

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.

How is this filler when it's important to the story ?

I'll go for the actual one as well, the fan made ones were too generic, there's even a blushing chik there, why?

Right, these episodes are just as important as the main tournament I'd expect more of these before the actual tournament hence why the exhibition matches were a thing probably to tide us over. Plus this gives the animation staff a lot of time cuz they're gonna need all the time they can get to pull this off.
