Power levels are not just big numbers:
Spoiler:
Power levels establish tension and drama. People who care about them (well, people who care about them in a narrative) don't care about the big numbers or the fancy explosions. If you have character A who's so much above character B, who's the main character, you're gonna be left wondering how in the hell character B, the character we're supposed to care and root for, is going to escape the situation or overcome the odds. It makes us emotionally invested.
If character B doesn't escape the situation in a believable way that's consistent with previous events, then that emotional investment is gone. It was pointless tension, pointless drama made just to suck in the viewer. It has no critical value whatsoever. The audience is left believing that the author can just create whatever scenarios he wants and what happens to the characters is decided by whatever the author wants to happen, regardless of the events that happened in the story. Which, in fairness, is what happens, but the audience wants to be fooled. The audience wants to know that the world they're following has rules. That the world they're invested in isn't going to bend to external factors that are irrelevant to them.
An author can do whatever he wants with the characters, that's not false. But the author should also have the responsibility to make sure it fits in cohesively with the other events in the narrative he has created.
Can't believe the big day is finally here. I'm really excited about the possibilities of how this can end. Pretty much any outcome would be terrific to me, aside from Freeza being sent back to hell (even him trying to make a wish and being erased would have more of a payoff, though I'm crossing my fingers that he is brought back to life, and does his own thing somewhere).
Generally I'm the first person to jump on spoilers, though for the last episode, I'm going to try and go into it without seeing any last minute leaks (or reading Herms' play-by-play ). Don't have much confidence in my willpower though, so I think my best bet is taking a nap before the episode airs, and waking up when it'll be on Crunchy Roll. This might not work in practice, because I expect that their servers will be ravaged (and there's always a chance I get a text or something with someone spoiling the ending for me). /rant
Place your bets, is U11 going to be erased? Even if they do lose, I feel like it would be silly to erase them for 5 minutes. Then again, it would be unfair to the other Universes if despite their loss they could stay to watch the ending ceremony.
I guess goku will also get an offer by the zenos or daishinkan and he will reject the offer, similar to kami. This would explain the reaction of beerus and the kai in the preview.
[spoiler]Kinda late on this one since it's less than 24 hours now, but whatever. Still kinda fits.[/spoiler]

That doesn't make sense since the Toriyama finished writing the Future Trunks Saga back in February. Why would they need to drag when Toriyama had months to write a follow up and the anime was still in the Champa Saga during that time.
And it weird to hear about padding in the anime when Chapter 16 had the padding of Future Majin Buu that could have been skipped.
This is the same guy who would do an entire week's worth of work in a single night just to be able to procrastinate for a week and do nothing but watch movies or build models. Logic does not apply to Toriyama Akira. He has evolved past it.

I think Goku will use his wish to revive King Kai, it was foreshadowed before

It would be hilarious if Goku's wish to the Super Dragon Balls would be something that is pretty trivial... but then again, 17 wants to take his family on a cruise.

That's trivial too, he can wish that with the Earth's DB lol

When Super apparently shoves Goku down our throats:
Spoiler:
HeroR wrote:The characters in Super can work with Goku and they're treated like equals to him. Goku just being in the room doesn't take away from the character. In Z, the characters were so depended on Goku that they couldn't go an episode without mentioning him in some way even by hoping he will arrived, get better, training to get stronger, our last hope, being like him, ect. Goku was wanked to hell in Z, even when he wasn't in the room and everyone else was secondary to him. In fact, this was a major issue Goku had, which is why he didn't want to do anything in the Buu Saga.

[spoiler]Funnily enough, I was planning on using that exact image once after the episode airs in Japan. Not sure if I should now though.
Ah screw it, I'll still do it anyway.[/spoiler]
