Kind of the story of Trunks life. He does everything in his power to help? Everything goes wrong. Everyone else does everything in their power to fuck everything up? Things always work out for them in the end.
Please don't make me rage all over Super again, the thought of my most hated character getting rewarded while one of my favorite characters getting a date worse than an honorable death....ugh. Like with Trunks ending he doesn't even get to see anyone he knows in the afterlife does he?

So summaries for #96 & #97 nothing new. Just in #96 Gohan wants everyone to work together but they're reluctant...

One of the reasons why Gohan is a good fit for leader. The other fighters are way to prideful and selfish ( with some exceptions of course ).

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.

Just wanting it to happen doesn't mean anything; a leader would actually make them work together. He can be called good if he does that.

Goku, Vegeta, 17, 18 and Frieza will be reluctant. 17 and 18 will only work each other and Krillin. This will probably cost this lot.

I think only Vegeta and Freeza will be reluctant. 18 worked with Piccolo and Tien in the Battle of Gods saga and wanted to fight against Freeza along with everyone else. 17 worked with Goku against the poachers.

Goku and freeza I understand, but every single one of them expect these two have worked with others before..
Vegeta on namek with gohan and Krillin.. Piccolo, krillin, gohan and tien in Saiyan saga.
18,17 in cell saga, 18 in her combined attack with others in bog, Roshi with everyone else in rof..

They are smart enough to get this, so why this odd behavior all of a sudden

Not quite as Goku worked together with Piccolo in order to defeat Raditz back then and even though Vegeta had cooperate with these people before, I can still only see him, Goku and Freeza being reluctant about team work.

Goku because he wants to enjoy the most of his battles, Vegeta because of his pride bullsh*t and Freeza because he despise all the other members, especially the Saiyans.

Shouldn't Beerus force them to work together? I want to see a mixture of singles, doubles and trebles.

Vegeta was planning to betray them the entire time, Gohan and Krillin did.

I don't think you can count that

I pray they handle leader Gohan right. They've done right by Gohan when it comes to power, but let's see how they handle him being a leader.

I'll assume Freeza has to be the cause of most of this reluctance. Vegeta could be a little troublesome as well. Goku probably wants to do stuff on his own, but I can't see him not helping his teammates when the time comes. Vegeta will probably be a liitle punk about it. Piccolo, Krillin, 18, and Roshi will probably only have problems with Freeza. 17 is a wildcard I guess. Tien might still be angry at Vegeta. Freeza just can't be trusted at all, but he might pretend to be cool with working with others. I'm going to assume they'll break into the teams we see in the ending by the end of the episode. Goku, Vegeta, and Freeza will fight solo. I believe these teams will be forced to change mid way through the tournament.

Looks like Dragon Ball will have its very first race in the World. The only franchise I know that usually does this is One Piece, so that's cool.

17 and 18 never fought together in current timeline. just future ones , the future 17 and 18 had great fighting chemistry eventhough they were weaker they were a more dynamic duo than the present ones who are completely independant from eachother.

According to the first synopsis for 96, Beerus still has a strategy to announce. I'm really curious to see what that will be. So far Beerus has been really hands-off in this whole process.

Vegeta's already said he has no interest in teamwork so there's sure to be some friction coming from him.

Say, do you think the other universes may also have some kind of mythical items like the super dragon balls?
Like, does each pair has its own unique artifact?

This would be a very good idea for future stories, but if something isn't mentioned in this arc, there probably won't be. They also shouldn't grant wishes since it could get things messy but items with different abilities would be interesting.

Well, I'd hope so. I don't see why Twin Universe 6 should be the only one with a set of divine artefacts; it's unnecessarily unique and limiting story-wise.
The artefacts should have unique effects: They could power you up, they could control the flow of time, they could give life, they could improve your magic... There's all sorts of possibilities. Oh, and the sets shouldn't all be 7. Try 11, 12, 14, 42 (there's the life thing again), other numbers that are relatively small but not exactly 7, just to change it up a bit.
The reason I'm for the idea is that not only does it create potential for a ton of stories, it also implies that there's a league of what I call artefact gods. So far, Zarama is the only one we know, and I think it'd be weird if he was the only one in existence. If there's a whole league of them, that would mean there's another layer of divinity (Gods of Creation and Gods of Destruction govern one universe; Zen'ou governs all of them; now we'd have gods who govern two universes, a middle step) to strive towards in case Goku surpasses Beerus or something like that.

Gohan - Piccolo.
17 -18.
18 - Krillin.
Tien - Krillin - Roshi.

These are the members who'll cooperate.

Freeza, Vegeta and Goku will fight alone.
