"Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

[Kanassa]

Didn't think U6 has that many fans. Unless we are talking about Hit fans, but that also seems to be a breed I hear more about than actually cross paths with.

It's U7 twin Universe that was introduced almost 2 years ago and Caulifla/Kale are popular new characters too. Of course it has a fanbase.

I mostly meant ardent fans. You know, the kind that would actually get angry enough to complain to the writers.

Btw, have the preview pics been released. I thought we get 4 shots from the upcoming episode the day before.

Sometimes we get them a day before, sometimes we get them a few hours before.

If Piccolo doesn't defeat 1 of the Nameks he is the new Tien

He will beat the Bugs or Robots instead then.

We get 1 batch of 4 about 11-12 hours before the episode airs and 1 batch of 4 10-30 minutes before. This is the first time we have not got the earlier pictures.

Ten eliminated at least one opponent, so Piccolo will be "new Ten" anyway (according to you).

Great, this is the episode they forget to upload the preview pics ???? D:

Tenshinhan eliminated 2 people

The Prechio and Harmura.

Again Piccolo will ring out Saonel, and Gohan takes care of Pirina.

Pirina being part of the Final 20 would be a big accomplishment though.

[ShinTenshin]

Tenshinhan has one of the best victory of the Universe 7.
Hermila can eliminate Piccolo and Gohan with extreme facility.
The 106 was poorly executed but the feat is undeniable, Ten save the team 7.
The ending give him the credit for Hermila and Prum defeat, with The Preecho that give him 1 direct and 2 assists.
Krilin and Roshi eliminate some fodder, Namekians seems fodder so....
If we exept Goku X Vegeta, only Hermila was really dangerous for our friends.

Don't forget Ten sacrifice himself to help U7.
Everybody retain the fact he was uncautious when approching his opponent but no one seems able to see that he risk to lost because he have a perfect strategy.
In the end he surprised Hermila !

The Grand Priest asked the Zenos if they wanted to get rid of some universes when they complained that there were too many for their game. There's no conspiracy or string pulling, that's just what happened and they talked about what to do next. I was talking about the manga version of that scene.
And the argument that Super keeps trying to push that 'Goku gave the other universes a chance for survival' is a complete load of bullshit that I will not swallow simply for the fact that Universe 7 being involved in this competition means that the other Universes have ZERO chance of survival short of Universe 7 taking mercy on them or convincing Zeno to change his mind. If Universe 7 disappears the story stops, and we already know they won't thanks to the ending of Z, so the only option for everyone else is death.
It's even more screwed up in the manga where they show that the second Zeno was part of the reason behind that decision...and he is only there because Goku went back to the future and picked him up. Oops.

It doesn't matter if the manga show us a different view of the story, in the end the anime is what counts since it draws more attention and it's the main product.
What is said there that Zen-Oh would erase these universes anyway if wasn't for Goku idea to purpose this tournament, which combined his business with the pleasure.

So what? We all know Universe 7 is going to win, is not about the tension of knowing they will be erased or not and yes that other universes/character might never seen again and that's what make this arc stakes valuable, if ends with every universe restaured it would just feel pointless, I mean I also wouldn't like everyone being brought to U7, but it would be more tolerable.

Like the other universes are supposed to know that U7 isn't allowed to lose for story reasons and the narration should reflect that since they know they're in a TV series.

You know that would be actually pretty funny, I can imagine a DB series not giving a f*** about breaking the Fourth Wall all the time, but then it would be just comedy.

Forgive me if I seem pedantic, but Tenshinhan directly eliminated Preecho, while Muten Roshi had him paralyzed. So it counts as an elimination for Tenshinhan and an assist for Roshi; Tenshinhan has 2 eliminations, not 1.

Great, this is the episode they forget to upload the preview pics ???? D:

If we get them tonight, it looks like it'll be the batch ~30 minutes before the episode airs.

Lol Ten didn't save Goku or Vegeta. We can't exclude them because they were there. U7 was never in any real trouble since those two were there.
Kuririn assisting with Shosa's defeat isn't any worse than Roshi assisting with the Preecho.
The ending doesn't mean much since Vegeta eliminated Prum.
Ten didn't sacrifice himself at all. He stopped to shit talk Hermila and got eliminated. He then used his clones to take Hermila with him. That's not a sacrifice. That's him fucking up and turning what should have been a Win into a Draw.

Is it just me or do they always draw Piccolo's antennae way too high on his forehead?

Huh, Goku goes SSB to eliminate the U2 guys. Maybe they're not that bad.

Wow, did anybody help out Goku more often than #17 and #18? Vegeta helped him once with the Trio de Danger and their team, Frieza helped him once with the energy, but #17 and #18 helped him with the earlier pride trooper fight, with the Kamikaze fireballs, and now it looks like their helping him the third time.

I assume that "black hole" Goku will be trapped in will require him to go SSB in order to break out. They're not the strongest, it was said in a magazine that Ribrianne and Rozie are universe 2's strongest fighters.

The magazine has gave us misleasing information. I remember them saying Tien would use special techniques in the 2v2 yet all he did was spam kikoho. There was another time it's flat out lied, but I cant remeber because my head hearts due to being sleep deprived for the past 4 days.

[Zamasu55]

Okay...

[Jigurashi]

The music at the end was great. The NEP... All of U7 is apparently fighting next week.

[Freeza9000]

This was just so strangely bittersweet the way this episode was directed. Really struck me in the feels.

[BlueBasilisk]

That wasn't as heartbreaking as I expected. Still really sad though.

[Kanassa]

Universe 2... You're alright. You're alright.
