Yes, Ganma Burst flash attack is a new manga attack and it could great in the anime(could be better than the Final Flash used vs Cell).

One thing that would cause a massive shitstorm in the site is if Piccolo jobs to Caulifla. Toei has rebuilt Piccolo so much that he is now a perfect tool hype for whoever beats him.

And with the way Caulifla has been written so far(genius fighter, big potential, stronger than Cabba and Kale).

Oh just some fan fic that someone is doing based off the Black arc.

Although Freeza did it on his own accord anyway he might reveal that tidbit in hopes of causing some friction between Beerus and Vegeta.

I think the Pride Troopers might win the whole tournament. They're not the bad guys here, and so far Khai is the only one of the gods who expressed interest in having all of the universes survive.

Cant argue with that, they'll finally unlock their hidden forms Piccolo going Super Namekian Demon God Super Namekian and Gohan's Ultimate God Ultimate form.
You got it all wrong,Piccolo is going to unlock Super Namekian Green and Gohan is going Ultimate Bang God.
Yes Piccolo is going to get greener and Gohan is gonna have bangs all over his face.

In situations like this, other shows will result in jiren winning the tournament but Toppo being hurt badly if we take them as the main characters..
I would assume something like this Wouldn't be the case in Dragonball, it likes to do things the odd way..
There is a greater chance of universe 9 winning the tournament by running and hiding

I think Gohan is being set up to win, or they have a "joke" character win like Monaka in the last tournament.

I think the Pride Troopers being all goody-two-shoes is a clever way to have characters like Jiren, stronger than the average God of Destruction, but too good to accept a job where you wipe out entire planets.

Gohan got his ass handed by SSBKK, piccolo's attack didn't do damage, jiren is many times more powerful than SSBKK..

You are high balling them a little too much
That Piccolo attack was obviously surpressed as if it wasn't Frieza wouldn't be the only the one with a Halo above his head. Piccolo is not an idiot like Goku who tried to kill Krillin with a Kamehameha and it was only a training match so Piccolo only wanted to knock him down or for Gohan to follow up with an attack.

It would be a 2 vs 1 match as well and in the tournament, many matches won't be decided by who has the higher power level.

I feel like many people don't understand what the fighting conditions are going to be like in this tournament.

I think it will end with Jiren vs Goku with Piccolo and Gohan watching as Goku demands to fight 1 vs 1. Then the 2 vs 1atch at the end.

What is your fascination with Piccolo vs Califla as this just seems so random. Also how would Califla beat Piccolo. All 3 Universe 6 Saiyans look nothing special.

I don't understand why many of you think my suggestion is funny when Piccolo and Gohan tag teaming has been hinted at in episode 90.

I heard next week we may see a battle between Hakaishins. Is that true? It would be really interesting.

Yeah, apparently bringing back the old idea of a SS form combined with Kaioken, having Vegeta being used by an alien to fight Goku again, having Black use a random scythe who makes clones in a way he doesn't even know how it works, SS Ikari and having and the Gendikama Sword are not from a fanfic yet Vegeta getting a new move (We are in the fifth arc of Super in the anime and any character has a new move apart from Krillin, for Zamas sake) is it. Double standars, my friend. I seriously wonder how some people expect to still sound serious when speaking about certain things (in this case, the manga) after showing their double standars this way.

But yeah, "fanfic" is really overused in both cases. I don't know why it's still a thing. Specially considering the Black arc itself would probably not even exist if it wasn't because of Toyble's AF. If handled well, they can be amazing.

Base Goku tanked a blast that Piccolo charged up for God knows how long, Gohan got 1shot by SSJBKK (not x10) and you're saying Jiren will kick Goku's arse then Gohan + Piccolo will be able to do something against someone that can do that? how did that happen?
The guy charges up a huge blast that long to hold back? why would he hold back against someone thats infinitely stronger than him? has Piccolo become that stupid?
Both Gohan and Piccolo together couldnt even ring out base Goku, how in the world can they hope to ring out Jiren?

While I agree that Piccolo wouldn't be able to do much of anything against Jiren. I don't think the charge beam can be held against him. It was just PIS. I mean Krillin was able to force Goku to go SSJ to stop a ring out with a non charged attack, and I don't think Krillin is stronger than Piccolo. That episode was simply meant for Gohan to fight Goku. I mean base Gohan couldn't even one shot Tien. Roshi basically did the same damage to Tien as Gohan. base Gohan was even with base Goku. That means base Goku= base Gohan = Roshi? Piccolo would literally have to be the weakest member of the team for this to make sense, but we already saw he did better than Krillin against Gohan since Gohan in base was stronger than Krillin, but he need SS2 to beat Piccolo. What I'm saying is dbs power levels are nonsense.

It was a training match and what you are saying is that Base Gohan is also infinitely stronger than Piccolo. It is an illusion as there aim was to kncok Goku down and not hurt him unlike Goku against Krillin. When the episode first aired I said there was inconsistencies such as Piccolo's attack in general being wesker than it ahoupd be since they wanted the Goku vs Gohan to look more dramatic with the different transformations.

Losing to Cauli isn't worth a shitstorm, unless it's base form. Losing to some random fodder would be pretty sad though. I think Gohan will keep Piccolo safe for a while. It's basically the same deal with 17 and 18 tbh. Tien is the one who doesn't have someone stronger to protect him. Tien getting wrecked right off the bat would be pretty disgusting, so I think he'll pull something clutch out of his ass.

Doesnt matter if its training, theres a reason why Piccolo charged up that blast for that long, because its Goku, since when did charging for so long = holding back, it normally means attempting to build up more ki like how Piccolo did with his SBC against Raditz.
Goku said he barely withstood Piccolo's attack and gave no comment about base Gohan's full power punch so its still safe to say its Piccolo>Base Gohan.
Piccolo unleashed a huge blast that made Goku comment that he barely took it and had Gohan punch so hard lighting came out, I'm pretty sure they wanted to hurt him as well, if not the choreography woulda shown some hints that they were trying that. How would an attack not hurting Goku give out a more dramatic effect? they were trying to prove something to Goku, not play around with him holding back.

Episode 95 didn't touch on the poachers that we saw in episode 94, so I'm feeling more confident in my guess that that is going to be a B plot during the tournament.
I'm guessing Yamcha becomes a part of that plot as well.

Freeza will never let go of his grudge against Goku as his defeat on Namek completely humiliated him.
I believe he will have his revenge in the end. So awesome! :twisted:

Now that is the funniest thing someone has written here in a while.

Piccolo is not losing to some Saiyan kid as he knows exactly how they work when fighting.

Tien will do ok as I think it will be quite a while until someone from Universe 7 gets knocked out maybe not until the last 30 fighters remain.
