A little late to the party, but I guess we still need the confirmation on these spoilers, huh?

Looks predictable to me, Piccolo (and maybe 18) going out was a matter of time just like Vegeta eventually going to face Jiren.

It's delusional to think Piccolo would be TOP 10 on this tournament, girl.
Now I'm nervous about Gohan losing without a big fight. Oh dear god no.
That won't happen, Gohan most likely will be the one to defeat Jiren.
Piccolo was handled well and was intelligent in the Buu arc. In Super he is fodder.
Please, don't make us laugh. He was pathetic in the Boo arc, at least in Super we saw him on the headlines again and being more relevant.

I just gonna be amused when Vegeta pummels Jiren and everybody here will me like: :o

This is hilarious to me. A lot of people were upset that U7 did too much in this tournament. Now we have people saying U7 didn't have enough screentoime individually .



This is why people make fun of our fanbase, IN the fanbase, you don't know what you want or realize how it will be done. You never realize what could actually happen if you got your wish, this is what happened with Future Trunks. People cried for someone else besides Goku to be relevant, we got it and it resulted in one of the dumbest things dragon ball has ever done and this franchise is suppose to be dumb.


Toriyama just should have said 2 people from each universe and gauntlet this, have it be Goku and Vegeta. Then you guys would be singing a different tune.

I think the most ironic thing about this is that I listened to the GT re-watch and I remembered the odd criticism of the robot merge where rather than being a bunch on little comparatively less powerful robots, they merged into a single more powerful entity and thus on the grounds of creating one target rather than multiple it made little sense. I certainly understand that their data collected should have let them know it wouldn't be effective, however it appears their "fusion" was their most powerful form.

I found the complaint odd as GT in context was after the Voltron and transformers/gobot era and somewhere around the height of the Power Rangers era where its known that combining into a single robotic entity always makes them greater than the sum of their parts. This particular usage in Super is REALLY REALLY odd because we know for a fact body count matters in Super and combining into a single entity like this would make the prospect of elimination heightened. Considering the fact that they lasted more than half the tournament while visibly fighting very little I would think keeping as many bodies in the ring until the end would be their primary strategy.

Mayhaps, they're not one and the same? Fandoms aren't a hive mind, you will always have a contradicting viewpoints and depending on what is going on at the moment, one will be more prevalently discussed than the other.

All Universe 7 members could easily get their own moment with universe 7 not dominating. It is not hard. Firstly tok many fights ended with eliminations.
The Trio de dangers could have lost to Goku and Vegeta but not be eliminated and they could have faced other fighters. They spent way too much time on certain characters even know we know there are other fights happening.

The tournament only seems to move when Goku is involved as well which is the major problem.

They are the same people. I look at the comment history everytime.



People just want their favorite character to have it all even if other characters don't, thats why as a Goku fan, I'm satisfied as hell right now and I ain't lying if Goku didn't get half of what he has gotten , i be upset. People here would probably say I would be selfish and that should want other characters to do so but I just love Goku more.
If after this tournament, he just says he wants to go on a fighting spree across the multiverse by himself, I would literally cry tears of joy .



Other people feel the same way. People here are now saying Piccolo was relevant in z, yet for years he was a poster boy of rivals being left beyond, you know the Piccolo effect.

This is actually a really good assessment. There are plenty of fights which could have ended without eliminations. The fact that Goku and Vegeta can lose a fight and not get eliminated doesn't seem like its structured properly.

Liking the main character generally means you will get more enjoyment out of any show.

As a Piccolo I just want to know what his role is supposed to be after ge got put into 2 tournaments and seems to bad in both. Toriyama won't retire him and will always keep him around but he also won't enhance him and seems like the only character stuck in this situation. Tien has been completely forgotten.

Piccolo and Tien are the 2 members out of the 10 that Super has probably made worse.

I find it weird (but never surprised) that Fandom only perceives two extremes as valid ways to narrate a given story. Either U7 is too dominating or it isn`t. If it is, you know its because Goku spends 5 episodes on one fight, if it isn`t, the rest of the cast is quickly dealt with.

This isn`t rocket science but between these two extremes, there`s a world of possibilities.

Don't lie.

If every U7 fighter had one solofight but was then knocked out, you would complain about lack of eliminations or screentime.

If every U7 fighter had ton of eliminations but was then knocked out, you would complain about lack of solofights and screentime.

If every U7 had good screentime but was then knocked out, you would complain about lack of solofights and eliminations.


I know this because this has been the reaction everytime someone from our team lost. Even Roshi was bitched about because he did too much.


People want their characters to do more, but that comes with a cost, other characters will have to do less. This is a monkey paw game and its time to accept that.


You wanted Piccolo to do something, he did. Sorry, it wasn't more, but guess what they could have just had Goku here and said screw off to everyone else. Then something becomes nothing.

Typical Goku fan right here who can't see anything wrong the series and thinks Goku needs every fight.

You mean Genkidama Trunks? It was dope despite making no sense at all. It was refreshing seeing someone else taking the stage and facing the Main Antagonist before Zeno arrival. Proved that Goku is replaceable as MC.

As for the screentime in the ToP, the ones that got the most so far are the Saiyan Girls.

Episodes 100,101,113-116. 6 episodes, and overall U6 got more than 10 episodes of focus.

Didn't know there was such a thing. I was always one of the people that liked that U7 overall was doing so well because I thought it was exactly how it was supposed to be, but I haven't really seen anyone that thought differently suddenly change their mind here.

I will honestly say I'm not as upset about Piccolo going out so much as how he is going out. I would've loved to have him stick around for as long as possible, but him being top 20 is more than something like 80% of the fandom thought.

I don't think it has to be either or though.

For instance, Roshi didn't need to fight Frost. He could just fight some fodder.
Goku doesn't need to fight fodder characters reserve them for Roshi,Krillin, Tien.
I think people want them to:

-fight characters that are on their level to make the fights interesting and believable
-not all lost fights end in eliminations. Or if they do then its applies evenly to Goku and Vegeta as well. That way the tension is heightened.
-View non-universe 6/7 fights and have them have actual outcomes. Thus fair these two universes have elimination 95% of the fighters. When statistically they should only account for 25% if fighting levels were competitive.
-Show unique traits that characters have in use them in novel ways. Piccolo should have a ton of inventive techniques which would work well. I would have liked to see Krillin's destructo disc used to cut off sections of the ring.

There are a ton of things which could have been done with 80 fighters in a melee. Everyone has a different opinion of what could be done but it could definitely have been improved.

Trunks didn't beat the main antagonist and Zeno did.

Characters either get a lot of screen time or very little. There are very few that are inbetween.

If Piccolo has a big role in defeating Universe 4 then I might be ok but if it is just him randomly getting hit on the back at the same time as everyone else and he is the only one to fall then that is not right.

Piccolo is the one character that shouldn't be falling out like that as he is the most careful and has stretchy arms.

The fact that 18 outlasts Piccolo will always piss me off though.

Even though it says Katopesla falls out of the arena in 119, I think he'll survive.

Episode 120 says this:
Universe 3's survival strategy has born fruit, leaving them with most of their warriors still remaining. 
If Katopesla falls off, that would leave them with 50% of their fighters, which isnt most. Also they'd still have less than U7 which I dont think was what the spoilers were trying to convey. Not to mention the initial leaks had stated Katopesla and Vegeta continue their fight in 120.

I think he'll fall of but then use mode change and change into A mode, which will be Aerial mode and fly back on stage.

(Yes I'm desperate, I dont want Katopesla to go yet :( )

These were fake, they also said Android 18 was going out in 119 and now we know that ain't the case.

Basically episode titles were out, and someone just came up with fake summaries for them.

Counterpoint. When the z fighters fought freeza soldiers in the movie, a lot of people found it insulting because they were fighting fodder. No one want to see them fight fodder but big dogs. Second, if they struggle but Goku and Vegeta are around and stronger, can't Goku and Vegeta just do it themselves? Like usually.


People say they want to see those fights but they really don't because you don't care about those characters, which would be the complaint. Also people will say they rather see their favorite character fight.


Everyone in dragon ball fights the same, this has been said for years, why do you think xenoverse has to make up moves.



Of course, more can be done, but its not an easy thing to do. There is a reason why most battle shonen don't do battle royales, its too difficult to write, hell of a lot more difficult to draw and insanely more difficult to animate. None of you have once taken in account of that.



People have said this arc has no ambition, that couldn't be more of a lie. This arc was too ambitous, there was no way they could pull all off and people are angry that they couldn't.


You are all free to criticize the show but always remember don't just see a show from a viewing aspect but also a production one.

If every U7 fighter had one solofight but was then knocked out, you would complain about lack of eliminations or screentime.

I know this because this has been the reaction everytime someone from our team lost. Even Roshi was bitched about because he did too much.


People want their characters to do more, but that comes with a cost, other characters will have to do less. This is a monkey paw game and its time to accept that.


You wanted Piccolo to do something, he did. Sorry, it wasn't more, but guess what they could have just had Goku here and said screw off to everyone else. Then something becomes nothing.
Typical Goku fan right here who can't see anything wrong the series and thinks Goku needs every fight.
I never said there was nothing wrong, I still hate episode 100 and I didn't say Goku need every fight. But I would love him too because I love Goku more than everyone else in this franchise.
