Goku goes KKx20, couldnt do the job, uses genkidama, couldnt do the job, gets a new form and shirtless again... yeah namek arc.
Krillin and Vegeta might want to watch themselves around Jiren.
Kaioken x20 sounds pretty intense. I can't wait to see what that looks like.
Calling it now! Roshi's gonna be the Krillin to Goku's new form, Piccolo,Gohan and Vegeta will retain their roles back in namek arc, this'll give Krillin some PTSD moments
I called it first!
Frieza is gonna get a case of deja-vu

I am going to assume that Maji kayo is the only one to go out in episode 108 and becuase wr know we have Goku vs Ribrianne along with Gohan vs Jimeze then I think the other 3 fighters out before episode 109 could be from Universe. They could be by Piccolo because he is with Gohan and maybe Frieza becuase he is also there.
Well, we know that by episode 109 4 fighters will be eliminated.
None from Universe 7 or 6.
The advertisements seem to make it likely that Toppo and Dypso will still be around by the time of Goku VS Jiren
So, i think the fourth survivor from Universe 11 will be out, Maji Kayo, and since Universe 2 seems to have more of it's members going up against 7 I'm thinking Ribianne and Jim (That's what I'm calling the Yardrat now!) could be the last two out. Universe 3 seem to be an after thought at the moment.
There are only 3 Universe 11 fighters left now. Jimeze and Ribrianne are in episode 109 so it can't be them.
Mani kayo is probably gone. Universe 2 is also in episode 108 so I will say it is probably them. Beerus is talking about Universe 4's numbers so it probably I doubt it is any of them.

Ah, yeah, forgot that elimination. So much blue in this tournament!

I didn't see any mention of them in episode 109, only 108.

I wonder who's gonna deal with the Bugs now since they sort of set it up for Tien to be fighting them...

"While Gohan has a tough fight, Son Goku and Ribrianne's battle continues. Ribrianne wants to win the "Tournament of Power" so that she can become a goddess beloved by humanity throughout all the universe, and she attacks Goku at full power. Meanwhile Universe 11's Jiren (who has been conserving his power up until now) finally goes into action, and appears before Goku. With his unthinkably colossal ki, Jiren overwhelms Goku and the other warriors."
Jimeze isn't mentioned directly, but I think the implication is that the fight Gohan is having is the same one.

They are definitely mentioned in episode 109 and since the bugs are apparently twins I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being the Androids.
Since no one posted it here yet, here's the jump preview for episode 107 along with Herms' translation
[spoiler][/spoiler]
[spoiler][/spoiler]
So from the looks of it, Goku vs Ribrianne will last for 3 episodes.
I don't understand why Ribrianne goes after Goku of all people and not after 17. Maybe Goku will eliminate 3 of her teammates in episode 107? We already saw how angry Ribrianne was at 17 for eliminated 2 of her teammates, so I imagine her being even angrier at Goku for eliminating 3 of her teammates.

Yes, there is a break this week.
Hope everything turns out okay for you with the hurricane.

Thanks. It's so hard to know because the predictions 4-5 days out can be off by hundreds of miles so it could miss or come right over top.
Good to know I wont be missing anything though.

Didn't Ribrianne start fighting Goku after he was picking on Rozie?
Jiren is a beast for tanking a SSBKKx20 really, and you all saying going be like a namek all over again, I don't mind it as long as it a different looks not just same feel ya know?

It could be about that and also losing her other 2 teammates for 106 the Snipers. While it could also be about something else that will usually be enough. I still find it strange that they Don't finish her match with 17, but let's see why Toei chooses this route.
Also WOW this fight is will last for 107-109 to a degree, FINALLY a fight not 1 episode and Done. I know Jiren will interrupt it but finally a longer one it seems.

The Genkidama is what makes this like Namek, at least on paper. The Kaio-Ken x20 was expected.

The fight probably won't even start until episode 108 and Gohan is also fighting in episode 108 so it is not the only focus during the 3 episodes.

Likely, even if it only is teases in 107 that is still 108-109 that it goes for and that is still a 2 episode and Finally that will be nice to see.
Also it shows Ribrianne is a big deal to take up at least 2 episodes against the likes of Goku, that is Bigtime!

So, I guess that jiren fodderizing 20+ characters is now out of equation after revelation of jiren not being fazed from ssbkk 20X.
Why power levels are important?
Spoiler:
Power levels establish tension and drama. People who care about them (well, people who care about them in a narrative) don't care about the big numbers or the fancy explosions. If you have character A who's so much above character B, who's the main character, you're gonna be left wondering how in the hell character B, the character we're supposed to care and root for, is going to escape the situation or overcome the odds. It makes us emotionally invested.
If character B doesn't escape the situation in a believable way that's consistent with previous events, then that emotional investment is gone. It was pointless tension, pointless drama made just to suck in the viewer. It has no critical value whatsoever. The audience is left believing that the author can just create whatever scenarios he wants and what happens to the characters is decided by whatever the author wants to happen, regardless of the events that happened in the story. Which, in fairness, is what happens, but the audience wants to be fooled. The audience wants to know that the world they're following has rules. That the world they're invested in isn't going to bend to external factors that are irrelevant to them.
An author can do whatever he wants with the characters, that's not false. But the author should also have the responsibility to make sure it fits in cohesively with the other events in the narrative he has created.
