It's not Whis. Herms tweeted that he made a mistake:

Interesting. Kinda wish it was Whis. I love seeing him fight.

LOL! I'll close internet for the next few hours and see what it is then, this is getting just too ridiculous.

It's kinda crazy that they'd go for Piccolo over Gohan, as I mean, even with an incredibly rusty fighting sense, I would have though that RoF showed that he's still in a different ball-park to Piccolo in terms of strength. Surely it'd be better to have a rusty Gohan rather than a total weak link like Piccolo, who toiled with a guy like Shisami?

The obvious solution, however, is that Piccolo gets to train with Whis or something - which as a Piccolo fan is a pretty great prospect in my eyes.

Wouldn't it just be a total hoot if Buu shows no interest in joining and Gohan gets dragged away from his books?

Well this means that Toriyama needs to invent a brand new never before seen character for this arc. Now he has to work on Originality again lol.

Cue the Youtube crowd speculating that it's Broly or Bardock. :lol:

Broly is doesn't exist in that timeline. Bardock is dead by either Frieza or Old Age.

That's fucking awesome. Nothing more to say about it, Toriyama still got it.

I'm really curious about the last fighter, hope he has a very good design and he will probably be the best fighter of U7, so I hope he really is an interesting character. And he won't be a Saiyan, or else Beerus wouldn't have been surprised a Saiyan beat Freezer, and he wouldn't need to look around for a Super Saiyan God so it's impossible he's a Saiyan.
He will probably have God Ki though.

And Vegeta's idea of a written test to rule out 'dumb monsters" also avoids the possibility of things like Yakon joining the tournament from Champa's side, which can only be a good thing.

Long ago on Beerus/Champa's birthday, Beerus ate the "Puff-Puff Fruit" atop Champa's cake, starting a fight that destroyed many planets.

Hence why it's hilarious that the speculation will inevitably flow in that direction.

Wouldn't the written test affect Goku. He's not exactly book smart, learning to read from erotic novels... Could it be a ploy from Vegeta to have the fighting all to himself?

I think that may be a gag. I mean, sure, Vegeta is portrayed as being pretty cunning and tactically-minded, but he doesn't come across as being the written-test sort of guy.

If anything, I guess Gohan would probably handle that best of anyone!

I bet it's gonna be something simple, like 'write your name", that as long as one can read and write, it's ok. Goku will struggle but will be fine.

The manga will probably gloss over moments like that, but i can see the anime having a field day with Goku taking the test.

Interesting. Very interesting. I do wonder who the unknown warrior is and what Zuno looks like. This Manga is certainly doing its job teasing us huh? It looks like it's gonna make sitting through those retellings worth it.

As much as I like Gohan I can't say I'd pick him over Picolo or Buu so it's great they made it in.

I can't wait to see who this new character will be and hopefully the u6 fighters will all be new as well or at least 2 or 3 of them.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

So wait, is it possible that it was the mysterious fighter who made Beerus so happy 900 years ago? I just remembered that statement from Whis where he mentions he hasn't seen Beerus this happy in 900 years.

Can't wait for all those speculation videos about how the mysterious fighter is 100% either Broly or Bardock.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

Lol, I just opened this thread to make a post about the upcoming YouTube videos speculating the mysterious warrior is Broly.

Could be... With this new information that line seems to be foreshadowing. Which, if true, would make the new character an ancient being. Only the Gods have more than 900 years, Namekians I think get to 400 years. Maybe it's an Makaioshin. One can dream.
