Hard to say really....some how I think its going to have more to do with Frieza then Dyspo. Frieza's shown a love of cultivating trust just to stab someone in the back to secure victory this arc.
Well the title is "Gohan's last stand."

Then again everytime a preview hinted at a main character losing...they don't.

Nope. 'Ikari' was unlocked by sheer rage not breaking a shell or anything like that

[spoiler]Gohan doesn't fuck up at all. 17 traps them both in a barrier and Gohan nearly pushes them out with a Kamehameha, but Toppo breaks out of the attack before they go off.[/spoiler]
[spoiler]That's not what I saw. I saw Toppo hitting 17 to make him drop the barrier, and then Gohan being too concerned to keep attacking now that the barrier was down.[/spoiler]

17's barrier can stop even the Justice flash.

What has Dr gero created?

17's barrier has lowkey been when of the most overpowered moves of the series.

Lets not give that old bastard all the credit. He may have given #17 that power but #17 the one who worked to become stronger.

Who even needs Cell? If they hadn't killed him as a zygote, it'd still be several years before he was born. 17 would kick his ass by time he showed up. :lol:

I think by 125 both Gohan and 17 will be out while in 126 we'll see Vegeta and Freeza take on and defeat Toppo then help Goku take out Jiren in a 3vs1 team fight.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

Not really since it works nothing like Completed Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan in the manga outside of a power boosts.

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

That's cliche. I'm happy about him thinking of Cabba instead of the old 'my family' trope. He hasn't even mentioned or thought of his family the entire time, while he at least talked to Cabba and his promised in 112.

Fukushima is a mixed bag and is the worst writer in Super at the current moment. But most of the time, his episodes are average at worst. For reference, he wrote 98, 103, 108, 113, 117. He also wrote Goku meeting Freeza in hell before the tournament, which was highly praised by almost everyone and is considered some of his best writing.

Overall, his worst episode this saga is 89, the Tien and Roshi episode.

Edit: I meant 117 not 118, and he didn't write 88.

With these being the arc's last episodes I highly doubt they'll let him mess it up.

Fukushima hasn't messed up an episode for the entire TOP. As I said, his worst episodes are average. He isn't the one who wrote 106 or 119 which are widely agreed to be the worst episodes of the tournament.

Cell wasn't a zygote. He was a fetus. A zygote is just a fertilized egg.

Not always. Roshi getting eliminated was hinted in the preview for 107, Cabba getting eliminated was hinted in the preview for 112, and 18 getting eliminated was hinted in the preview for 121

Vegeta's transformation sequence and the subsequent fight would have been so much more enjoyable if it weren't for the endless commentaries from the stands in between, especially from irrelevant people such as kuririn and tien.
