Can't say I understand the title for 119.

A new sacrifice ? Kuririn got tricked, Tenshinhan got tricked, Roshi gave up. Neither of these U7 fighters sacrificed themselves for their Universe.

Piccolo has sacrificed for Gohan countless of times, thats why people assume it will be Piccolo that gets eliminated..

Actually if Freeza goes out I wouldnt be sad but I doubt its him. Can't see Freeza and Sacrifice being in the same sentence. :lol:
It could be no one and maybe the person from Universe 7 is trying to lure out the Universe 4 Bugs.

What is 'a new sacrifice" suppose to mean.
This is getting scary, because Piccolo is the first thing that comes to mind when it comes to sacrifice, he going to get Yamchad :thumbdown:
And it's only because of Gohan. All I ask is Piccolo do his own thing where Gohan isn't involved just like the old days.

It's become a meme, with nearly every old school Z movie Piccolo makes an entrance to the fight after saving Gohan. Piccolo saving him yet again and that being the reason he's out of this tournament would serve no real purpose for either character. When we saw it in RoF it wasn't a powerful scene compared to the one in the Saiyan Saga for obvious reasons.

No other character gets treated like that. Being attached to another character no matter what is infuriating.

18 will be next though.

Right but my point is, neither of the members in TOP have done it so far. Makes no sense that title.

The people at Toei are just simply bad writers who have no understanding of the characters they write for.

18 is most definitely next.

Considering we're getting different episode preview summaries from different sources, I think it would be best to wait for the episodes in question to air before any kind of judgement is made. These kind of kind of knee-jerk reactions as to what may or may not happen in future episodes of Super aren't really all that constructive or productive. Especially since episode preview summaries in the past have been know to be full of shit sometimes or deliberately misleading.

Universe 11 lost 4 members in episode 101, and they were more relevant than Universe 2.

Indeed Sandubadear I and another Poster stated some time ago in the link below why we don’t believe it is universe 2 in the end going and sadly why it might be one of the other ones maybe U6 or under the radar U3.

Kaioken is an actual technique, I dont see why they would skip a few letters and refer to it as just SSJB since it can confuse people (like me), its not like the manga where SSJB and MSSJB are the same because MSSJB isnt a technique but just them mastering the form, but sure, whatever.

Kuririn wasn't tricked, he was blindsided but I agree with your point.

Herms:

(Should really have gone with "victim" for ep.119. 犠牲 is sacrifice or victim, but 犠牲者 is pretty much just victim)

Ok now it looks like it could be Android 18 the one to be eliminated.

With everything we've seen of super I thought they couldn't surprise me anymore with how inconsistant they are but my god was I wrong, they've done it again.

It hasn't been a month since we saw what Goku and Jerin are truly capable of, yet now these 2 girls are on that level ? What weight Goku, Jerin and those 2 episodes heled has now been thrown out the window in order to overhype 2 characters who have already been waaaaaay overhyped and used in this torunament. To make things worse if that's even possible at this point, this'll most likely not be their last fight. I guess UI will be the new Blue where we'll see it be used in baseball and against the likes of Krillin and 17.

I really, really, REALLY hope Toyotarou can save this tournament. He's done a great job so far with the introduction part and with his ability to change things around there's a chance he'll avoid what the anime is doing. To anyone who asks why it's a good thing to have 2 versions of the story, this arc is exactly why.

In terms of the next U7 fighter to lose, It won't be Goku, Gohan, Vegeta or Freeza so that leaves 17, 18 & Piccolo. 17 was on V-Jump's cover alongside Freeza so it probably won't be him either so if I had to put $$$ on it I'd say 18. Piccolo will most likely be after followed by 17 then Gohan. It can go either way for Freeza and Vegeta.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

17 and 18 finish off Universe 2 and the bugs attack them.

I would just rather have all of them stay until the end and have Jiren knock them out.

Why is it a surprise that Kefla, a potara fusion, in base can outpace a TIRED SSG Goku. a Goku so weak he can't even go above Kaioken x ONE if we go by his statement based on the preview. This dude is hanging on by a thread going up against this fusion that tired.
If Goku is going Blue and Kaioken, he isn’t that tired, especially ‘hanging on by a thread going’.
While yes Goku would realistically still be really tired, we honestly don’t know if the writers are taking this into account. I’d be willing to say they think Goku has recovered his stamina and back to his full strength (which is dumb). Pulling out SSJ3 and all these other transformations kinda points at that. I don’t agree with that. I’d like for Goku to be dealing with some form of handicap while fighting to show that the gap is only circumstantial.
How i predict the tournament will end:

Yep, most logical outcome.

18 is more fitting for the victim aspect.

18 is next to be eliminated on ep 117.
Piccolo will go after her on ep 119. pretty obvious

Episode 118 will be the end of Universe 2 with 18 going in episode 119 is my guess.

We have no idea when Piccolo and Gohan vs Saonel and Pilina could possibly end just like Vegeta vs Toppo.

18 will never have 3 episodes in a row, that's impossible considering she's had enough eliminations and has the promotional status of Krillin, Roshi and Piccolo she's next on ep 117 after her promoted team up with 17 is over. 119 can be Piccolo and Gohan episode centered where Piccolo gets eliminated. the eliminations have been pretty predictible so far anyway.

We have to wait and see but I am believing by what the previews are giving us just as of right now that universe 2 might lose some fighters but they will not be fully gone. It is likely it will be a big fight with the androids and 18 is likely to be lost but U2 will survive.

The flow of the story and previews does not seem to warrent them being erased yet. I fear more for universe 6 Right now.
