Will Toppo really reach the level of a GoD? From what the synopsis says, it does not seem that this is his own power, since something "strange" happens to his body.

If Toppo reaches that level, then no one will be able to defeat him. Maybe Vegeta really needs to leave his fight against Jiren to have his rematch against Toppo and so the title of EP 126 is '' even surpass a God. ''
All God of Destruction's have a skinny frame, perhaps that is what happens to Toppo?
Champa and Sidra weren't skinny.

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 true! Wonder why they broke the pattern? I always took Champa's frame as a pun with Beerus but Sidra I completely forgot about!

Come to think of it, Iwne isn’t skinny either.

Whatever happens to him, I just hope that something funky will go on with his mustache. SSJ3 mustache.

Hm Gohan might keep on trucking by that new info. Maybe...not sure. Could go either way.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

Doesn't matter how many gang up on Toppo if he is eliminated before he eliminates someone, it will be disappointing.
There are 5 U7 fighters there and he's the second strongest Pride Trooper, who we know since the Exhibition Matches. He should eliminate at least one major player.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

In fact he's taking down 17.

Really interested in this Toppo new power-up, I hope he takes Jiren place as the main antagonist in this arc, that would be quite a twist.

So is there a chance Gohan survives the next ep? Usually the summaries do directly spoil when a character loses.

Said who? It still has much less importance than the TV show.
It be like saying people shouldn't care about the Z anime because its just an adaptation.
Invalid comparison as Super anime is it's own thing, not a adaptation.
says who and the super anime is adapted from Toriyama's script as is the manga and we know Toei takes liberties like they did back in the old days.

Roshi, Tien, and 18 weren’t spoiled.

Universe 7's only alternative is comparable or overwhelming power. Vegeta can provide that with this new form of his. If Toppo's maximum is comparable to SSJBKK then it should be evenly matched. Goku was eventually going to be dueling Jiren one-on-one again anyway. If Toei was going to tally a meaningful victory for Vegeta besides supplementing Goku's war machine then Toppo would be the best offering.
#17 has proven to be the smartest fighter in this entire tournament. By a long shot. Goku comes a long second, with Frieza and Vegeta both claiming third place, being relatively capable of reading many of their opponents.

Maybe, this time the summaries are suggesting at least two more people are fighting alongside 17 and it doesn’t look like Vegeta will abandon Goku until there are two Hakaishin level warriors in the battlefield to split their attention. And quite frankly, Freeza doesn’t seem to have a chance in this scenario, even with the help of 17 and Gohan. Perhaps even Goku may join in the fight. And Jiren will just sit up there waiting for them to be defeated by the mighty Toppo.

Yup. He saw Anilaza's weakness when all others had no idea, located the bug thing, devised a solid plan to take out Toppo, took out plenty of magic girls through clever coordination, makes EXCELLENT use of his force field for both offence AND defence .... guy's a tactical genius at this point.

How are you so certain Frieza doesn't have a chance without even seeing what he could really do? You guys are sleeping on Frieza and will get butthurt about "muh power scaling" if he proves to be what brings about Toppo's downfall.

That isn’t him being smart. He attacked based on a hunch. And Goku and Roshi has more clever moments than 17.

He’s smart, but isn’t the smartest.

"According to this newspaper, the new Gegege no Kitaro series will indeed take Super’s 9 AM Sunday timeslot starting April 1st, with Super ending in March. Fuji TV says that while there are no set plans for the broadcast of a new DB show, “it’s not like the series is over”.

Calm down, part of this is just a joke and I’m not certain of nothing. This is just an innocent impression based on what he showed so far.

If my final predictions is true then I will be immensely satisfied.
