This is Another One of My MAJOR Intrests in the ToP Besides Universe 2 ~~~ Piccolo is My Favorite Character in Universe 7 and one of My Favorites for a Long time and Namekians are my Favorites of the species of beings in Dragon Ball! SO to hear we have 2 new Namekians from another Universe, Universe 6 Got me Very Excited! :mrgreen:

But what we need to know is WHEN are they finally going to be shown, why have they been hidden so long and what is their role after Goku and Jiren start ther slapdown?! :think:

I was hoping they get their spotlight started before the Goku/Jiren thing went down but now they seem to be happening after that, so what does that mean I don't know, but I Do Hope if means Piccolo and the 2 New U6 Namekians are of more importance then we original thought maybe?! :think:

I mean surprising as in a good surprise not a bad one. They could have a factor in how things go but I doubt it and they are probably being saved until after the special.

The one thing I don't get is that during episode 96 they pointed out the Yardratian but no one on Universe 7 pointed out Namekians on team Universe 6 even though 1 of them looks identical to Piccolo.

There are 3 mysteries right now:

1. How does Goku get his new form
2. The Namekians
3. The Bugs from Universe 4

Beerus points out thr number problem of Universe 4 so they could be showing soon.
don't u2 have a tuffle on their team?
plus toshio saying watch out for the whitebeard looking dude?
plus vegeta,freeza,17,gohan,piccolo still havent been pushed to a tough fight so far
Do you mean the Paparoni from Universe 3 or the yellow guy from Universe 2 who is most likely the tuffle.

The other mystery is probably the Tuffle. Your last point isn't really a mystery though.

Why would they point that out?
"Wow, I didn't expect the twin universe that has the same species as ours to have Namekians!"
"Yes, Goku...."
"Hey, Piccolo, that one kind of looks like you"
"Almost all Namekians look like me"
Are you being serious? There is a difference between looking alike and looking identical.

There's alike, then there's namekians. And again, why would universe 7 care? A Yardrat on the U2 team is something odd, a namekian being on U6 isn't.
When Super apparently shoves Goku down our throats:

I was looking forward to 17 vs Ribrianne Part II since they bounced off each other well, but I'll take Gokû vs Ribrianne Part I.

They did point that out when Nail was introduced.

That actually might be most interesting thing regarding the role of these U6 namekians; not only were they hidden from us, but I from the characters as well. I seriously doubt they wouldn't have had either Piccolo or someone else from U7 not mention anything otherwise. Might be that Hit and the saiyan girls stole so much attention that they didn't think to look who was standing behind them.

Had their presence been given even the smallest nod before the tournament, no one would've wondered so much about them.

My god, this is retarded! I get it Goku got used with Kaioken + Blue combination, but remember the way he suffered after using x10 against Hit? Now he is trying x20 against Jiren? This is just too much!

Is Jiren by any chance Beerus level? DAMN IT!
SansrivaaL wrote:SSJBKKx20 couldnt even do the fucking job? well damn boy :lol: no wonder he relies on Genkidama, its like Namek arc all over again, is it just me or is the scenario here really similar to Namek arc?
Goku goes KKx20, couldnt do the job, uses Genkidama, couldnt do the job, gets a new form and shirtless again... Yeah Namek arc.
:lol: :clap:

Didn't thought about that, well done Toei. Another good sample of the staff creativity :thumbup:

They weren't hidden from us. The two bugs from U4 were hidden, with the Namekians it seems much like the case of Tien where TOEI forgot to animate them in shots.

No, we saw silhouettes of them when each team was shown, so they've been hiding them.

I Agree Chuquita, I was expecting they would finish their battle 17 and Ribrianne before she did anything with Goku, I still find this fight surprising cause of how early they are making it. :think:

However, it has a Good Point to it, I already Expect Ribrianne to be one of the Unknown Strongest in the ToP, so I am Hoping that Toei shows that as well and Goku vs. Ribrianne will light Up the Levels of Power like we have not see yet! 8)

That leads into Jiren finally getting serious as well. He will interrupt their Fight as the spoilers seem to give and again we will not get to see how far Goku vs. Ribrianne could go, but what we get I feel will be the opening to the main and final 3rd act.

We have to wait and see. :think:

Didn't people say the same thing about Tien and the invisible fighters?

I can't believe some people didn't even notice that there was 2 silhouettes behind Hit or if they didn't why wasn't they wondering where the other 2 Universe 6 fighters were.?

There are some people who don't even realise that there are Namekians because they missed them when they appeared on the Godpad twice for about a second.

There is a direct connection here though so it should apply this time.

No Shaq. Not the same thing at all. Piccolo and the U6 Namekians have much more in common. One of them looks like Piccolo, and they are the same species. We haven't seen Namekian warriors in so long. In the Namek Arc Toriyama was able to bring Piccolo back from the dead and add him into the story. I'm sure the fact that the protagonists were fighting on Piccolo's homeworld had a lot to do with that decision.

All of that has a lot of connection with them then Tien making an odd statement about him being able to sense bugs he has nothing to do with or has any connection to them.

So Current Goku has SSBKKx20 and he's still shit to Jiren? Not all that surprising to me tbh. I half expected SSBKKx20 to show up.

They've been hyping up Jiren for months now. Anyone who is surprised clearly didn't notice the extent of promotion they've been giving Jiren since this tournament started.

For Goku to get a new form the person Goku fights has to be stronger than his current form.

Agreed. I mean whether people like the fact he's this strong or not, it was bound to happen.

I actually wanted him to be stronger, like SSJBKKx100 stomp level stronger, but I'll take x20, I just hope he stomps Goku.

It all these Namek arc references, If Goku's new transformation is triggered by the rage of seeing one of his friends being eliminated. I would puke :sick:

Well, until they give him a personality instead of a uninteresting mute, the number of people that don't like the fact that he's this strong will not decrease.

Outside of Gohan, Goku getting that rage due to any of the U7 warriors being eliminated wouldn't be justified enough. His best friend Krillin is already on the sidelines.

It can be justified depending on how brutal would be the elimination, by all means they can have Roshi still around just for this purpose.
