Re: mustache namekian

He was from Yajirobe's imagination prior to Krillin and the others arriving on Namek, so I don't know how much stock can be put into namekians can have facial hair. I guess it's still possible.

Jiren is just too obvious imo.



But...........I think I can't digest the fact that Rat god defeated Beerus in ARM WRESTLING! Apart from that, it will be awesome to have the mortal stronger than God in Uni4
That works even more with the subverting game Toriyama likes to play. The pieces do line up. Nothing is guaranteed obviously but that's my guess.

That's true. Quitela seems to go out of his way messing with Beerus, whereas Beerus just usually responds to it. Beerus doesn't go out of his way to mess with Quitela. I don't think this mortal stronger than a GoD is Jiren, but I certainly don't see it coming from Quitela's universe either. I don't think this mortal is even in the tournament.
They're definitely at the ToP as Whis responded to the question Goku asked whether they stand a chance in the ToP so why would Whis' tell them that if that person wasn't gonna compete?
That's true, at the same time, Whis himself was pretty vague, and you'd think he'd mention this GoD that lost to Beerus considering Whis is fully aware of the GoD who beat Beerus in arm-wrestling.

Wanna bet the one whose Beerus lost an arm wrestling match is Heres, the goddess, and it's ashamed because of this? :lol:

Also, I'm in the team " strongest mortal is at the tournament"

Though I found really strage Beerus nor Whis never pointed at it at the tournament, would have been useless to name this fighter answering Goku's question
Imho it's definitely at the ToP, I only hope it's not Jiren

I wonder if the Pride Troopers are not as good as we have been made out to believe. I think their universe has a skewed view of justice since they conquer planets in the name of it. Why would they use dirty tricks against Caulifa and Kale if they were actually honorable?

I've been thinking something along those lines for a while myself. Maybe not all the Troopers, but I really wouldn't be surprised if Jiren turned out to actually be a villain of some sort. The guys feels very disconnected even from his own team, so having the strongest person in a team of goody two shoes heroes be a bad guy seems like quite a Dragon Ball thing to do.

B) The mold is not toxic
C) The mold could or could not be toxic

I have not written.
I'd love to see the fight between them

Sorry I can't reply to everyone
I have too much stuff to do️
Now it looks like Vegeta vs Hit might not happen. The only thing we know is that U2 wont get wiped out in the upcoming episode even though I could see some U2 warriors getting eliminated by 17 or Freeza.
Toshio just said that he did not write, which does not mean that other writers could not have done the same.

In fact, I do not think he can confirm what battles will take place in the tournament and whether there will be a rematch between Vegeta and Hitto, that would be to give advance information of the story, and Toshio may lose his job
People should just leave the guy alone. But they're pestering him because they know he's one of the few who takes the time to respond.

If I were him I simply wouldn't answer to people's non stop questions anymore.

People have completely abused Toshio's kindness lately and we can thank the shitty youtubers for that.

If I were him, I'd give purposefully trollish answers to those idiots. Or answers I know that would probably trigger them.

The fact that this fanbase thinks a lead writer will reveal major plot spoilers is something that blows my mind.

Well when you have youtubers literally linking his Twitter, showing his Twitter zoomed in and discussing/twisting words of what he's been tweeting...things like this tend to happen. I've been reading some of the questions people have been sending him and some are just completely idiotic imo or asking for WAY too much info. It's as if they want him to lose his job.

On topic, I want the Namekians of U6 to be evil and have interesting interactions with Freeza haha.

Evil Namekians would be interesting, but I doubt they will be.

And Frieza would probably torture those guys regardless.

Man, I would laugh (and by laugh, I mean cry) if these namekians are already eliminated by the time we see them, because apparently that's how the show decides to roll sometimes. Thinking what they did to Buu here, and they did it twice.

He's not even a lead writer, he's just one of the secondary writers that has no major control over plot direction and all that, as he himself pointed out already, which makes the pestering even worse.

        I'm glad they came up with Namekians for U6 team, even though the one that looks like Piccolo could have some scars in the face to distinguish himself.

        Since U6 Saiyans are peaceful, I hope U6 Namekians are the ruthless race and I wonder if they will mention the Namekian Book of Legends.
        U7 Saiyans taught U6 Saiyans about SSJ forms, it would only be fair those two Namekians enlighten Piccolo about a power boost he can achieve.
        Based on this the strongest fighter of each universe is listed first. That makes The preecho the strongest fighter of U3.Nigurish was said to be strongest modified. But The Preecho is organic.

        That means Roshi and Tien eliminated the strongest fighter from U3.

              It also seems like the Saiyan girls would be among the weakest in U6 which doesn't make sense unless Cabba achieves Blue. And are those Namekians really that powerful?

              They were probably dark horses. These could've been projected power rankings? It'd help if i/we saw a U7 chart so we could confirm.

              If it's true, very thankful Cabba is towards the top! Although I always thought Cabba would've been stronger than Frost. I get that Frost was on the run, but I'm sure Cabba was training some as well. If by some chance he has Blue, I doubt he's stronger than Cabba unless he discovered a transformation as well.
              How i predict the tournament will end:

              I can't find the U7 chart, but it definitely must be in the Jump magazine which revealed U6 Namekians as the point of the magazine was to let kids try and guess the universes' rankings by the end of the tournament.

                    I seriously doubt they are listed in strengh order. Shosha and Ganos are nowhere near Nink who was defeated by SSB Goku. In U2, Pran and Harmina were covered in shadows so I'm sure one of them is stronger than Ribrianne. In U10, there is no way Napapa is weaker than Murisam or Lilibeu. And in U6, I don't see how Frost can't be the second strongest at all, qnd Cabba and Botamo are definetly not above Kale.

                    In most universes, it seems like the strongest one/ the one with more focus is not the leader. Goku> Gohan, Jiren> Toppo, Basil had way more focus than Bergamo, the flower guy from U10 is going to have more focus than Murichi, U3 leader lasted seconds, and in U6, Kale (and hopefully the Namekians) has more focus on her than Hit. So I fully expect Ribrianne to not be the stronger from U2 at all.

                    Also, why do we know The Preecho is organic? Have I missed something?
