At least that's the scenario that makes most sense
Well I did have an out their idea.

Lets say that Goku and Jiren knock themselves out, times up and they are the only fighters on the platform.

Instead of a rematch, which would be a bit pointless......why not let the deciding battle be between their Gods of Destruction? Beerus vs Belmod!

This would be good in a number of ways. With all the GoD in the tournament getting killed off for good (as it appears so far), it would be a real shame for all of them to go without the chance to show of their abilities. This way at least one of them, Belmod, would get a chance to fight. Also it allows Beerus, who's been a background characters since his introduction, to take center stage once more. Not only that, he must fight against someone who is truly a challenge for him and who will force him to show his full power and skill, unlike Goku or Champa (because he and Beerus's fights are more over the top, brotherly squabbles then a real battle).
Now, that would be something I'd love to see.

Yeah thats a good idea. I was also thinking it would be cool if each GOD had a bigger role in the outcome.

So who would win in a fight of Belmoud vs Beerus? I'd like to think Beerus would wipe the floor with Clown face simply because Clown face sounds like an idiot. Lol Hell, they might not fight, but arm wrestle. Haha that would be a classic Toriyama finish. Arm wrestle for the fate of your universe!!! :D

Shit...
What if jiren is the mortal stonger than god of destruction, Belmoud, and the person berrus "lost" to, was Belmoud..

After all these years they have a rematch as the finale

I'm very worried that they can ruin one of the best characters in the franchise. He needs to stay in the top 3/4 to continue to be relevant.
I'm curious what about Hit to you makes him one of the best characters in the series? To me he has no character, barely speaks and has a gimmick with the time skip thing, there is nothing remotely interesting about him in my opinion of course and sadly looks like Jiren is falling in the same category which is a shame, Toppo oozed so much personality yet this Jiren guy they have been hyping there isn't anything to him other than look bad ass.

Dragon Ball isn't meant to have boring stoic charachters.
I really love his design and special abilities. I also love his fighting stances and how he attacks the vital points of his enemies.
If you think about it, Hitto's abilities make him one of the most unique characters ever.

He doesn't depend only on raw power, he has pure progress which allows him to compete with saiyajins and win matches through skill. Yes, i prefer skill over raw power. Hitto has both, skill and raw power. Finally, i love the fact that he is a Hitman. He does his job flawlessly, only Goku survived, because, he is the main character.
What character is better than Hitto? Fat retard majin buu? Cell, a fucking lunatic who wanted to destroy the universe? I only put Frieza in the same category as Hitto, because, he is pure evil and so great in what he does as well.
Frieza built an Empire based on power and fear.

Regarding Toppo, i don't see anything special about him, he only has raw power, he emulates Saito's sense of Justice and his character design sucks big time.

Even if he gets eliminated early, it still wont ruin his character. He's forced to fight non lethaly in this tournament when he does better lethaly, even if Jiren takes him out here, maybe Hit would win in a fight to the death.
If he gets eliminated early, it will ruin his character since it will mean he isn't capable to win matches without killing his opponents and it would mean that he won't be relevant in the future arcs. He needs to be on top 3 to prove that he is capable to keep up with Goku in the future, otherwise, he will become another Piccolo.

Hit does have a personality and is not nearly as bland as you're describing him. Stoic does not automatically equal bland.

Not to mention the idea that DB doesn't have stoic characters is false. Jiren, Piccolo, DBS Vegeta, Tenshinhan, and Hitto all could be classified as being stoic individuals. Many of them have things that help them stand out from each other except Jiren who had just recently appeared.

Belmod because Pennywise Lives!

Really though its hard to say. Belmod is one of the gods still in the gray area of the power hierarchy. His universe rank means nothing because you could be the GoD of the lowest universe yet still be the most powerful, thats likely not the case however seeing as how Sidra seems to be the GoD equivalent of pure fail. A good example is is Liquiir, who despite being ranked 4th seems a least a little stronger then Iwan.

Also there is no evidence to say he the guy who arm wrestled Beerus way back. Scary though, that would mean Goku's got no chance of beating Jiren as he cannot even beat Beerus yet, let alone a GoD stronger then him or a mortal stronger then that.

As it stands I say their equal until further evidence is given.

Neither.

In Stephen King's novel Dreamcatcher, Jonesy arrives at the Derry stand-pipe and spray painted there is "Pennywise Lives!" over the tribute to The Loser's Club.

Edit: IT is also spotted in a storm drain in The Tommyknockers novel.

Just had a quick question that I somehow kept forgetting to ask here.

Are all of the Angels siblings?

Nothing has been said on the matter. As far as we can tell and it's confirmed, only Vados and Whis are.

I said isn't meant to have not doesn't have and I already gave Jiren as an example so you obviously didn't even read my post. I do confess using stoic was probably a wrong choice of words, boring or bland would have been better. Jiren has been just introduced yes but so far this is absolutely nothing to his character other than him being built up as the "one" and him being bland and boring is his style, yawn. The fact that the recent spoilers say he knocked Kale out without a word, shows to me they aren't bothering with adding any sort of personality to him. Cell, Freeza, Buu even Scouter Vegeta all memorable with different and actual personalities, even Piccolo he started off with a somewhat interesting back story and developed from there and now we are stuck with boring as sit Jiren.

Yes this has gone from a tangent about Hit to Jiren lol. We had a whole recruitment arc and barely any build up to Mr. Jiren.

Also can we please stop calling Hit, "hitto" it is the same as like calling Vegeta "Bejita" or Piccolo "Pikkoro" like you obviously aren't doing.

Again, there is nothing confirming all angels are simblings except Vados and Whis. Please let's not say something we don't know for sure.

I honestly haven't been keeping up with many things as much as I'd like, so I wasn't sure if it was actually stated or not.

I'll just wait until we have more info. I like the idea of them all being related.

This is true but it does take a much greater leap in logic to come to the conclusion they arent at this point.

I call him Hitto, because, it sounds better than Hit. The same way that they chose the word Beerus instead of Bills.
Buu has a personality? Of course, he talks and thinks like a retard and kid buu never talked a single time. Is that what you call a personality?
I agree Jiren has been boring, but, let's see what he will do when he gets involved in a real fight. So far, it is too soon to evaluate Jiren properly.
