Piccolo is holding the 2 star ball I think.

I can´t tell, I got this from internet, and in all posts they say the order of elimination is the one I just pointed out.

Super Dragon: State thy wish.
Goku: Awright! Frieza, you should ask for the other universes to be brought back to life - and I'll use the Earth Dragonballs to -
Frieza: Make me the next Zen-Oh.
Whis: .... we're fucked.
I think that's beyond the Super Dragon Balls power I think. Otherwise Grand Priest would have just wished himself to be next Zeno or erase Zeno by now.
The GP is evil theory hasnt been confirmed in the slightest so it's ridiculous to assume that he would do something like that.

I would totally love it if this happened. I still expect this arc to be the first time a mortal goes against the Gods, and I believe that mortal will be Freeza. They foreshadowed it when Freeza said he wanted to manipulate the Gods and when he swore he will be above Zeno one day.

This makes no sense. What if the best warrior was someone who was erased along with his universe?
He got erased, so they weren't the best.

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

Ok, I don´t understand why there are so many people around saying ten is holding the two star ball, anyway if roshi is eliminated next week, neither theory will be right, I actually hope so since I´d rather have goku, vegeta and frieza as the last remaining members.

Vegeta being eliminated next makes sense. He has nothing story-wise going for him in the tournament, and he's already eliminated tons of characters and done tons of fighting.

Characters like Piccolo have barely done anything yet.

Ergo, last man standing is the best.

Yeah in the opening that are all holding the Dragon balls up straight and look exactly how they do usually but the number 1 reason why I think the opening is wrong is because of Frieza and he will surely be in the last 3. The people holding the dragon balls are also the 7 non saiyans.

Toriyama has to throw a surprise somewhere like he did last time with Goku so maybe Vegeta does go but I still doubt it.

I am just failing to see a connection for a future fight for Vegeta apart from Cabba.

Kale and Caulifla are down
Piccolo and Maybe Gohan have the Namekians
17 has Ribrianne
Dyspo has Hit again at most
Frieza needs someone and Toppo just makes so much sense
Jiren is facing Goku very soon

Vegeta taking the plunge next might come as a shock to many fans, given his reputation as subsidiary to Goku who still manages to earn a competent participatory silver medal in arcs. I'm in agreement with those who feel like the show could stand to break convention by making the order of eliminations less predictable. If it were possible I would hope for Goku himself to be removed from play sometime soon as he's been a persistent gnat who wanders about in every episode getting himself involved or those around him choosing him to get involved; this will obviously not happen but it's fun to speculate.

You might like Jiren in a few episodes if you want Goku gone.

Vegeta is not really needed as there are others that could assist Goku.

Almost full power Vegeta going before Roshi who is utterly depleted after using mafuba twice and near death? And not just him, but 17 and 18 with their infinite stamina AND Piccolo as well goes before him? Not buying that self satirical shark jumping bullshit. Why would they keep Roshi around that long? What would he have going for him storywise?

Being that we don't know much about GP at all, its also ridiculous to assume that he *wouldn't* do something like that. What is the end game for this tournament? wishing all the universes back. Look, if the Super Dragon Balls had more power than Zeno himself, and it resides in the universes that Zeno created, does that make any sense at all? Wouldn't Zeno know about that?

If he wanted to do that, what's stopping him from having done it already? He's had all the time in the world and there's nobody around who could stop him. And is it ever stated that Zen-oh created the Universes? Or anything at all? We've seen him governing and destroying them but I can't recall anything about him creating anything. He could have magicked the ring into existence himself but the Grand Priest had to do it. Same with the changes to the godpad.

It actually does. When no limitations are placed on a plot device, the remains the case until it is contradicted. And so far nothing has contradicted the notion that the power of Super Shelong's wish granting abilities don't extend beyond the position of Zeno(s).

Seriously. Everyone hates Vegeta for the sake of hating him.

The jokes on them though. Vegeta isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Most of the people saying he's going out soon say some outrageous things a lot. The same ones who justify why Roshi is this strong and why Krillin, Tien and Roshi could be Blue tier if they wanted.

To be fair, if the humans were offered the same opportunities as the Saiyans by getting to train with Whis, acquiring God Ki, learning Kaioken and then elevating the multipliers to greater plateaus, would it be unreasonable to propose that they could begin to compete with the SSJB Saiyans? As it's been mentioned several times before, what prevents a scenario like this one from possibly panning out is authorial willingness to offer a hand up for the humans.

Holy shit. Dragon Ball Super could get so much mileage out of a scenario like that. I hope Toriyama has the balls to go into that direction.
Wouldn't Freeza have to know the language of the gods? It would be one hell of a step up from him not getting his wish from Porunga though.
