By the end of the fight vs the U6 Namekians, Piccolo might be completely exhausted, which would be a good excuse why the Cicadas took him off out easily and might also lead to Gohans powerup.

The manga should do it justice, it always does..
The Namekian fight has actually had great choreography and teamwork with absolutely no lost limbs.
I swear I saw one of the namekians lose a limb, but the fight was cut off so many times it might as well have not happened, nothing is actually accomplished, at least that's how I see it..

Actually, they've been getting the teamwork bit kinda right lately.
Eeh, too small of a cut to actually matter in their whole stay in the tournament..
It's been short but effective, considering they haven't had the focus on them for so long. They seem to be highlighting the fact that Piccolo is the thinker and Gohan the brawler. Even the summary seems to suggest that.

I don't think that's actually doing much though, I will give you that they have been trying but it's far from what I would call actual teamwork between two people who actually planned it all ahead..
But I guess I am simply expecting too much..

I'm pleasantly surprised U3 outlived them.

I'm legit surprised all of U2 went to attack Universe 7, and some of them survived.

The one that is completely doomed is Rozie(I mean somebody or something has to trigger Brianne new powerup).

I don't care they would be shitting on Piccolo again. Why can't Piccolo get a proper power up for once.

So you are saying Piccolo is only allowed to think and not fight? I might as well quit now.

Man, I sure got that Freeza part opposite. It's not him who's paralyzed, but the U2 guys. RIP to them.

Zarbuto and co are knocked out. It could still be Universe 2 going out.

And Rosie will job to 17.

Either Brianne or the Namekians, to make things very unpredictable.

Ribrianne and Rozie need to go in episode 117 if it is Universe 2 in episode 118.

This could be why the title does not mention a Universe as it could be either Universe 2 or Universe 6.

I am pretty sure Gohan screwing up and Piccolo losing arms because of it was not according to their plans.
Then again considering their history they should have seen both of those things coming.

It could be both.

I'm disappointed Zirloin turned out to be fodder, what a damn waste of a great design. I guess Freeza will show up this saturday saving Goku, I mean he already mentioned that he needs his power.

Brianne needs to become stronger than Blue otherwise Frieza will also ambush her

It could be both but I hope Saonel and Pilina survive. It all depends on what happens to Ribrianne and Rozie in episode 117.

Herms:
(While it's not looking great for U6, keep in mind that U2 is losing people too. Also, thanks to the magic of ambiguous Japanese and Korean, it's possible the title is talking about multiple universes getting the chop)

50 50 chance both U2 and U6 are gone in episode 118, although that would be too much.

I wouldn’t mind. The sooner Ribrianne and her universe gets erased the better for me.

Seems like they are finally going to throw a bone to us, Piccolo fans. Even now, I'm wary. They already made me believe that in the previous tournament.

The worst part of the spoilers for me is that Goku gets 3 more eliminations.
He had enough already.
