There is no way that the wish will be anything besides for a joke. I mean what else could it possibly be? There isn't anything serious that the cast needs. Planet Vegeta could've been a wish but with planet Sadla that doesn't seem likely.

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

Maybe something related to a wish is what Zeno proposes?

I have absolutely no idea what the wish might be. Maybe Beerus asking for food? I'm curious if Zarama is explained. Every God so far had a role, what's the Dragon God function?
Could there be any consequences for using the Super Dragon Balls, I know this is a GT plot point but it could factor in here. We have the Destruction/Creation balance introduced with BoG. You never know.

I'm almost sure it isn't. The dragon that comes from the Dragon Balls is a dragon of gods (神の龍), Zarama is a Dragon God (龍神). There's a slight difference in Japanese.

I bet the Zen-ou's FamiCom broke and he can't find a replacement so he needs the Super Dragon Balls. It's the only logical explanation!!

I'd have agreed, and was adamant about that viewpoint myself, up until the NEP on #40. Now that our Red-Eyes Gold Dragon has been revealed to have a salamander-esque face, that seems like some minor evidence to help it fit with Zarama/Zalama's presumed salamander name pun. I'm still not convinced they're one in the same, because Dende isn't summoned by the set of Dragon Balls that are used to make wishes to Shenlong, but I'm at least more seriously questioning if the Super Dragon Balls don't function differently.

Maybe the dragon is so big that they can't communicate with him and he just leaves-

Where has the talk about Arale and retconning the EoZ coming from?
Arale comes from Mayumi Tanaka's blog and Mami Koyama's website. The retcon is just a guess because the rough script for episode 1 of Super mentioned it occured several months after the Boo arc.
Sounds like a mistake on Toriyama's part and someone at Toei corrected it. They did the same for Resurrection 'F' where Toriyama's script had Freeza claimed that he met Bulma on Namek, which wasn't the case at all, and they changed it in the actual movie.

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 could be a possibility if not for Toei to have remained vague about the timeline of Beers arc. "Several months" is pretty specific but if they wanted to "correct" it they could have outright said "and four years passed".

After this "pawn" talk, I was thinking it would be cool to have a chess game of U6 vs U7, kind of like this:
Beerus - King
Whis - Queen
Goku - Bishop
Vegeta - Knight
Piccolo - Rook
Monaka - Pawn

and

Champa - King
Vados - Queen
Hit - Bishop
Frost or Cabba - Knight
Magetta - Rook
Cabba or Botamo - Pawn

I know there are GT themed chess pieces, I wonder if they would make one for Super as well.

I think we already have those covered; Vegeta against copy Vegeta, a face off with Monaka and something about the Super God Water. Of course Arale in ep 43 with Gohan's family.

I think episode 41 will be about Zuno's proposal, maybe he'll ends up proposing Universe switching, or asking for some help to fight some baddies or new Gods of Destruction

Don't forget that someone may steal wishes, causing a mess ( like in GT ) and triggering a new arc
I'm pretty sure U6 and 7 fighters are going to team up together

We also have that Kabba's planet future possible story, with Goku and Vegeta visiting planet Sadal, interacting ( in funny or dangerous ways ) with his king

Maybe Kabba is a young prince, or even king himself, sent to that Universe tournament to prove to his people ( or his father the king, too ) he's the right one to sit on throne?


After that, we'll have the Pan episode, in which, maybe, Gohan gone in the ROSAT again to have some training, leaving Videl, Pan and someone else who have troubles with the baby half-saiyan?

But most interesting episode, in my opinion, may be the one involving that superhuman water
what if it's a power-up of some sort, and Krillin, Tien, maybe Roshi and Yamcha too, may have a chance to start shining again, reaching god-tier level?

A superhuman god, also don't forget Gohan is half - human, so he may be capable of get some benefit

And regarding Piccolo, he has that Namekian Book of Legends bonus


Superhuman God and Namekian God incoming? I'm really praying for this gift, really.

There will be some slice of life episodes after the tournament.So i don't think Omni will ask for help,he will probably just ask Beerus to let him ask a wish to the Super Dragon Balls.It'll be cool if he wish to mix the twin universes together,that way,Vegeta wouldn't need the cube or ask for Whis' help to visit Planet Sadla.

I remember in the intro Goku and Vegeta was walking into a portal-like thing. Thats probably what U7 may wish for a portal that could quickly travel to other universes. :think:
