As am I though I'll be really annoyed if they create yet another universe where Saiyan's and humans exist.
I can't take anymore Saiyans being introduced if there are more Humans and Namekians then I would be excited.

Could be a creature (like beby) who possess Mirai Goku's body...Or an evil Kaioshin or Makaioshin from Universe 10

Yeah, I might be overly hopeful, given that the titles often tease things that are just barely touched on at the very end of the episode...but I'm so eager to find out! Knowing that they're making a journey to another universe in an attempt to get some answers is intriguing enough, even if the episode might not actually deliver those answers yet. But I really hope it does ^_^ Or at least gives some other tidbits/exposition for us to chew on (and if Zamasu finally appears too, that would be a bonus).

There's no possible way other Universes containing the same beings as Universe 6 and Universe 7. The Universes "work" in pairs, that's how it was presented to us.

There is no reason that saiyans and humans shouldn't be in all 12 universe honestly. Just that Goku, Vegeta and co shouldn't be in more than 2 and since there was no U6 Goku and Vegeta there shouldn't be any in the other universes.

Have to see what is going on in Uni10 first.

Plus, on a more personal note, it'd be extremely boring.
You need a lot of imagination to come up with new stuff for each Universe.

I'm surprised by how much new character designs we got in Champa arc, but I'm not sure if currently Toriyama can come up with new stuff for each Universe.
Even if he uses the twin Universes rule as excuse and recycles some races between pairs. like he did with U6, I'm afraid he could put some known races in other Universes again.

Obviously that's not what I want either, but the chances of that happening aren't low.

I'm not even sure how I feel about this Universe 10 stuff yet, because we didn't even set foot in Universe 6, and after all that worldbuilding I think that should came first.
Now more than ever, I want a Movie to take place there.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

You would think with all the stronger villains popping up Goku would send the 4 half saiyans to old kai, get their potentials unlocked and then have Gohan and Trunks learn fusion.

This happened in the Buu arc where the kids were meant to take over.

Wouldn't mean shit. They'd be better off doing the happy fun time circle with everyone, or record setting training with Whis that the halflings always accomplish. Though the halflings don't have any real interest, so that leaves the load on Goku and Vegeta. Perhaps Future Trunks might make something of himself though.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

Yeah but an Ultimate Gotenks should be at least somewhat more effective then ssj3 Gotenks. Also Ultimate Gohanks would be much better then Gohan or Future Trunks currently.

Agreed. Thinking about it, I'm not sure whether Schemmel would suit Black. Guess we'll wait to find out in Xenoverse 2.

So that "Future Trunks and Gohan" thing was fake, then?
You quoted the wrong person, I didn't write that :P But yes, like was already mentioned, 52 is the Trunks/Gohan episode.

I'm gonna predict Bulma needs a few days to repair the time machine so they use that time for Trunks to go visit the rest of the gang, meet Goten, talk with Gohan, etc. Maybe Beers and Whis go to the Kaioushins for information or something.

I wonder if Zamasu or Black killed the Universe 10 Destruction God? That would make for a Toriyama-esque turnabout and give the Universe 2 Destruction God something to be unhappy about.

Perhaps, but either way I want to see more Gods of Destruction, specifically a female one. :P

Remember the Tenkaichi Budokai's where he did dozens of designs at a time, even for characters appearing in a single panel. If there's one thing I don't doubt is Mr.Toriyama ability to came up with designs, if their to everyone's liking that's another thing.

I'm more curious about backgrounds and storytelling. Did he draw Zuno's planet? I don't remember. The tournaments grounds were different from the anime to the manga, so maybe he only does character designs. Storywise, this arc has been very decent. I don't ever hope that we'll explore an entire Universe, at least the Kaioshin Realm in Universe 10 would be nice. Instead of landing in one place and having the story happen there.

Or maybe Zamasu was the one to get killed and Black is a lackey of the God of Destruction. This way, there's room for some turmoil with Beers being involved.

Where does that leave the counterpart of Universe Ten's Destruction God, the Universe Two Destruction God? Off scratching their balls? Actually, that would be pretty funny...

I suspect even a destruction god who is a cat also has balls that need scratching.
