Who do you think Tien will take out in the Tournament of Power & how many episodes will he survive?

Post by Israelite Wolfman » Fri Jul 28, 2017 8:34 am

As title asks, BTW I still believe his quick lose to Yurin's-witchcraft-enhanced Master Roshi in episode 89 & the training match with Goku versus Gohan and Piccolo in episode 90 (where herms & others translated he'll "use crazy techniques" but eventually gave us nothing but a lame/poor execution of Tri-Beam and served as Gohan's punching bag) did more damage to his character's image than benefited him.

My ToP guess is that Tenshinhan will take out the U4 Chiaotzu-esque blue dude and 1 of the two smaller U11 Pride Troopers ַ& he will probably last till episode 102 if you ask me.

I don't see him surviving for much longer. I want to say he'll easily be the next one out, but since he's smart and they're all following Gohan's plan of being incredibly defensive and having each other's backs, I'd say it's hard to imagine those remaining 4 getting knocked out any time soon unless someone like a Toppo comes barrelling through them.

I'm hoping he actually lasts longer than 102. Since Tien was the one who sensed the 2 hidden fighters of Universe 4, I hope he is the one to take them out.

He will probably have a hand in eliminating 4+ fighters. And last longer than people polarized by episode 89 and 90 think. He will be around 4rth or 5th eliminated from U7. He wont be eliminated until hes mentioned in a synopsis of an episode.

If the studio is willing to sate our hungers for some participatory contribution from Tenshinhan, we may get several eliminations akin to what Krillin received. On the other hand, he might be the perfect sacrificial lamb for their efforts to make another universe's contestant seem intimidating. I would much rather prefer the former scenario if the option is only between those two portrayals.

The tragedy is that Tenshinhan has more interesting techniques than a number of the fighters in the Universe 7 team, including the Saiyans, cyborgs and Freeza. I would much prefer to see him utilise the Shiyoken and Dodonpa in effective and creative new ways than pay witness to yet another rousing bout of "Vegeta-sama!" or transformation shenanigans in general. Goodness knows we already have what those two Saiyans are capable of in this tournament forever etched into our memories.

I don't think he'll fare much better than Krillin. He'll probably take out around 2 random characters before he goes down.

I hope he eliminates at least one. It's a sure thing he is going to use the Kikoho, so there could go one. I'd like if they were more.

Who? Difficult to say. Maybe U3, they look quite expendable now. There are a few in U10 and 4 too.

If he gets to 105, it would be awesome.
Heno heno kappa!

If he does that then by simply his longevity hes done better than Krillin. Master Roshi by next episode will have surpassed Krillin.

Based on Tenshinhans profile for the tournament. Kikoho and Multiform is mentioned. So hes not being eliminated until we see those. Also we may see four witches technique again because itll be a chance to re-use animation. The reused Krillins Kamehameha animation. And his Kienzan animation from previous episodes.

I expect him to KO someone with his Kikoho. Maybe even two. He does have one of the best techniques for pushing opponents out so I will be thoroughly disappointed in him if he doesn't take the two U4 guys out with it at the very least.

I'm just wondering who he'll team up with. Krillin performed team attacks with Roshi and 18 to assist some KOs, who is Tien closest to on the team? Piccolo? Roshi?

Indeed, the recruitment arc destroyed his reputation as a reliable warrior.
I think Tenshinhan will eliminate the two invisible guys from universe 2 since he was the only one capable to feel their presence.
I think that he is closer to Piccolo, but, i don't think he will team up with anyone, he will beat two guys and that's it.

With a great showing the recruitment arc can be chalked up for what it is. Bad Toei filler. Next month or the month afters manga we will know whats real or not. When a writer has to go against what another writer did. You know theres something wrong.

So, basically, he needs to have the right writer to do well in the tournament. I wouldn't trust Toyataro, he is one of those hardcore saiyajin fanboys that finds awesome to have a cast only with saiyajins.

Luckily Toyotaro doesnt write indivisual episodes. And is bounded by the guidelines by Akira. Toshio seems to be the only competent writer aware of the lore and characters.

So are you gonna ignore Toyotaro knowledge of the franchise and his recruitment with tien and the rest of team u7 will happen offscreen and he will only focus on freeza and #17 recruitment and that comment with Shinda is just wrong,dbs is using there cast well since ft trunks

The gr. I dont understand your question. I'm saying Toyotaro doesnt write for the series. And his manga has to follow what Akira layed out. So its less filler and closer to what Akira wrote.

If Akira wrote a mysterious girl named Yurin from Tiens past and uses witchcraft of Roshi which then in turn defeats Tien with the thunder shock surprise attack. Then it would be in the manga.

In what way is my comment wrong? Are you even reading Toyataro's manga?

Anime writers also have to follow Akira's guidelines. I don't understand why you trust so much in the manga, Toyataro changes things to his liking.

Shinda you are right. Toyotaro best known for his DBAF manga. That was a Syain wank fest that disregarded anything not Sayain. New Sayain enemies. New Sayain transformations. More harry monkey crap. Hopefully Akira is teaching him well. To mix it up.

Yeah, that's what i meant. Let's hope, he can mix it up for DB's sake. Before the movie ROF, they made a tv special, where they explained why it was so important to have non saiyajin characters in the cast like Tenshinhan, Piccolo, Roshi and Krillin, i still don't understand why they were removed from the zamasu saga or the Universe 6 arc, since Krillin was retired, at least, Tenshinhan could have fought in that tournament.

Do you have a link to this TV special? Or a reference to it? Monaka ruined the U6 arc. I predicted Tenshinhan wouldve been that last spot. At the time Krillin was still skidish about fighting. 18 never participates in anything and they dont trust the kids. The Zamasu arc I u understood as everything was on a god level. It was nice to see Yajorobi get a save.
