This is what I had meant to ask in my previous thread about what do you wish was done differently. I should've encouraged more creativity like you're doing with this one.
If I had creative control over the TOP, there are some things I would've changed.
The Dragon Team - It should've been everyone in the main cast. We should've just left it with: Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo, Goten, Trunks, Majin Buu, Krillin, Android 18 and Frieza. No need to bring back old news like Android 17, Tien, Yamcha, and Roshi. Some can get a pass but these guys shouldn't. I feel they should only cameo in an episode or something. I don't like how they just show up for parties, and I also hate how they keep coming back only to be used for memes. it seems rather odd based on their characters (except for Yamcha, who is familiar with the cast and is easy going). They need to move on and do their own thing.
I included Goten and Trunks because these characters are the future. They are excluded because their immature and inexperienced, but this tournament is the perfect opportunity for that. Their universe is on the line. I don't see how this is different with the Majin Buu situation when Buu can literally destroy planets with the flick of his wrist. I don't understand how a Tournament of Survival is any different. I also love these two's chemistry. Their hilarious and I want to see more of it.
Majin Buu was included due to many things he could do. He is invincible, he can heal others, he can literally turn everyone into candy (this might be against the rules if he eats them). This guy is a huge powerhouse for this team. It would have also been interesting to have another in-obedient fighter on the team. Of course he won't listen to no one but Mr. Satan and he would go on and do his own thing.
I removed Tien and Roshi for the reason stated above. I did enjoy 17's being part of the tournament, but I'm starting to realize that bringing back old characters like this is just taking steps back. Bringing back old fan-favorites like him who did not get enough time in their respective arc is great and all, but then it feels like we're not really progressing at the same time. It also feels like a marketing ploy because they always need to take something from Z and bring it back into Super, like the Kaioken. 17 is going to be the reason why probably more characters from Z's past will return. I don't want that to happen. I want us to keep moving forward with new characters like Hit, Auta Magetta, etc.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other Idea I had in mind. Create Categories for where fighters can be identified by their power levels. This will allow us to better understand who is weak and who is not. The TOP in the anime made it seem as if the whole cast was holding back and everyone else was weak. I think it could have been something like this:
A Tier (SSB Level) - Goku, Vegeta, Frieza, Hit, Jiren
B Tier (SSG Level) - Gohan, Anilaza*, Kefla*, Toppo, Dyspo,
C Tier (SS3 Level) - Majin Buu, Gotenks*, Kale,
D Tier (SSJ2 Level) - Cabba, Caulifla, Auta Magetta, Saonel, Pirina, Frost, Murichim
E Tier (SSJ Level) - Piccolo, A18, Goten, Trunks, Ribrianne, Kakunsa, Rozie, Zarbuto, Botamo, Basil, Lavender, Bergamo, Napapa
F Tier (Base Goku) - Krillin, Dr. Rota Everyone Else
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Universe Order of Elimination:
Universe 9 - U9 targets U7 out of spite. Each U7 Member gets a chance to shine. Goku and Gohan are targeted by the Trio De Dangers. Both father and son finally get a proper chance to fight together.
(Universe 7 defeats Universe 9)
Universe 10 - U10 targets Universe 6. Each member of U6 gets to fight. Cabba shows some new techniques, hints of his training Post-Champa Arc. Kale goes berserk after fighting Goku and is provoked by U10. Kale defeats the remaining U10 warriors, leading to their universe's elimination.
(Universe 6 defeats Universe 10)
Universe 3 - After two universes being completely wiped, U3 emerges from hiding and prepares to deal with the remaining fighters. They realize they made a mistake coming out of hiding too early and end up losing several fighters. Anilaza appears much earlier due to desperation. U11 decides to take care of it. The Pride Troopers demonstrate excellent Team work and defeat Anilaza. (Universe 11 defeats Universe 3)
Universe 2 - By this point in the tournament, U2 has lost most of their fighters. The Kamikaze Fireballs are all that remain. Their team cheers them on to survive till the end. Ribrianne challenges 18. Krillin (Yes in my version Krillin lasts longer!) comes in to help. Ribrianne challenges 18 and Krillin's ideas of love. Krillin is eliminated by the Kamikaze Fireballs and 18 avenges him by defeating them single handedly.
Universe 6 - After so many universes are erased. Universe 6 and Universe 7 and Universe 11 begin to duke it out against each other. Only one Universe will survive so they cannot resort to teaming up with each other. U6 would lose to the 3 way fight because their ace, Hit, had been long gone.
Universe 4 - They would last longer than U6 due to hiding and being more quiet. Gamisaras and Damon would be the only two remaining at this point. They would go on to defeat 18. Luckily U7 defeats them with some sort of strategy that doesn't involve shaking the ground.
Universe 11 - Universe 11 at this point would have their top 3; Jiren, Toppo, and Dyspo. Dyspo would battle against Gohan. He would struggle for a bit until Goten, who has been searching for them frantically arrives to help out his big bro. Goten and Gohan do a Family Kamehameha on Dyspo and defeat him. Frieza would be fighting against Toppo. Toppo would be revolted by his extreme evil nature. Toppo goes Hakai and defeats Frieza. Frieza is knocked out cold like in the anime. Toppo would then challenge Gohan and Goten. Jiren fights against Vegeta whilst Goku idly watches, waiting for his turn. Vegeta is able to do well against Jiren, proving to Goku he's become much stronger with his SSB form than he has. He claims he doesn't need UI. Jiren then goes full power against Vegeta and destroys him. Goku then decides to give Jiren a fight. Gohan and Goten struggle to battle against Toppo. Toppo easily overpowers both of them and nearly eliminates them.
Vegeta awakes from being humiliated from Jiren and gets a rage boost. He decides to go after Jiren whilst Goku is fighting with him already. Toppo, as leader, attempts to protect Jiren. Vegeta then challenges Toppo. Their fight is very close. Their power levels aren't too far off from each other. Vegeta resorts to using all his power to defeat Toppo. Vegeta then passes out. Gohan and Goten attempt to help Goku, who is struggling to get hits on Jiren. They do another Family Kamehameha, this time with Goku.
Jiren disposes of Goten and Gohan easily. This triggers Goku as he fears his universe's erasure at the hands of Jiren. He decides to calm down and is able to activate UI. The two fight on par. The fight goes similar to the anime except 17 is replaced with Vegeta. Vegeta is the winner of the tournament instead.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elimination Order for U7
1st. Majin Buu - Reason? - He is disobedient and is not a warrior. He does not pay too much attention. I feel he would've been a great way to slowly gauge how strong Jiren is by defeating Buu with relative ease. And who says the 1st warrior to go has to be the weakest? That's awfully predictable. Also U7 loses their healer. Jiren defeating Majin Buu attracts U7's attention to U11.
(Majin Buu eliminated by Jiren)
2nd. Piccolo - Reason? - He would do the shit he always does and sacrifices himself for Gohan. He would lose to Saonel and Pirina after his Special Beam Cannon fails to have any effect on them. Gohan would have to resort to his Ultimate Form to defeat them single handedly. Piccolo's loss against the namekians could drive him to strive for greater strength.
(Piccolo eliminated by Saonel and Pirina)
3rd. Trunks - Reason? - I decided they would be great to defend a weak Goku from Kale and Caulifla. They then resort to using Fusion. They overpower both Kale and Caulifla. Then those two resort to their Potara Fusion. They then overpower Gotenks and the fusion becomes undone. Trunks decides he wants to act selfless like Future Trunks and decides to save Goten from being eliminated. Trunks is eliminated instead. Goten is without a fusion partner and a leader. Goten will have to resort to doing things on his own until he can find everyone else.
(Trunks eliminated by Kefla* (Caulfila and Kale))
4th. Krillin - Reason? Krillin would last longer due to 18 protecting him from multiple fighters. Krillin does the same for her. Even though Krillin is weaker, he can still handle fighters. The idea of having Krillin last longer isn't something you'd expect either. Krillin and 18 would be challenged by the Kamikaze Fireballs. Krillin would lose to them and it would motivate 18 to defeat them for his sake.
(Krillin eliminated by Ribrianne, Kakunsa, and Rozie)
5th. Android 18 - Reason? A18 would eventually regroup with Goku, Vegeta, Gohan and Frieza to help in fighting against Universe 6 and Universe 11. However, she was defeating unknowingly. The rest of the cast had forgotten Universe 4 was still in the Tournament. A18 was blindsided by Gamisaras.
(A18 eliminated by Gamisaras (U4))
6th. Goten and 7th. Gohan - Reason? After doing a Family Kamehameha against Jiren, he easily disposes of the two brothers and it triggers Goku because he is afraid for the erasure of his children. He decides he must control himself for their sake and activates UI once again to fight Jiren. The two brothers cheer on their father afterwards.
(Goten and Gohan eliminated by Jiren)
8th. Frieza 9th. Goku - Similar to the anime. They take down Jiren together.
(Eliminated themselves)
WINNER: Vegeta - Reason? - I felt Vegeta replcing 17 in the moment where he and Frieza would fight Jiren together would be more interesting. These two hate each others guts and the conversation would be even greater. And a team up with him, Goku, and Frieza would be much more intense than with a 17 imo. This also shuts up all the Vegeta fans, giving Vegeta his long overdue win. I also felt he gets to win because he has best the reason for trying to win this tournament, and that is for the sake of his family and the U6 Saiyans.
