Gohan isn't even in this chapter for some reason while Piccolo is so I doubt that's going to happen.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

I don't like the U7's member design, the rest have an alright design, really like the robot and the Freeza rip-off (but that's mainly because I like Freeza's design already). What's the big announcement?

At least Not!Tarble's outfit indicates some alternate history on Uni 6's Planet Vegeta.

And since we don't actually get to see them, I'm gonna head canon a Uni 6 tall!Vegeta and Princess Kakarrotto. >_>

Well that's what I mean, I view his absence as a sort of foreshadowing to an important entry later on. He might be training now.

Goku was talking to Videl about something, maybe she explains what he's doing.

sintzu wrote:How do you think the fights will go ? Going by the picture we might get something like this :

Beerus' friend will win against the robot then lose against Whinnie the Pooh.
Then Buu will fight Pooh and win then Lose to Freeza 2.0.
Then Piccolo will fight Freeza 2.0 and win then lose to the Saiyan.
Then Vegeta will fight the Saiyan and win then lose to the Purple Piccolo.
Then finally Goku will fight and win against him.

So we could be looking at 9 fights for the tournament.
Is it not best 3 out of 5 individual fights?

What does the text at the bottom of the cover say? Has 2016 and 24 in it.

If he's going to have a role in this it won't be regarding the tournament cause the fighters have already been chosen.

I want to believe he's training but I think a more likely thing he's doing is some homework or giving a lecture.

No, It'll be like the Baba Tournament in the original DB.

Yeah that's them.

I really thought they were going to be rehashes of current characters and designs so I'm really happy about their looks for the most part.

I guess we'll have to wait for someone to translate what Videl says, but it seems too odd to have him be the only one out of the group missing because of something pretty mundane. I have no problem with him getting an important role in this arc, but please not at Piccolo's expense.

Damn it! I hate it these new characters, I mean where is Evil Goku, Bardock and Broly? All my dreams are gone...

I'll just go ahead and say it, I'd have preferred Purple Cell as the mystery guy.

I think Gohan is staying on Earth because of something that mundane. However, Earth is probably gonna be attacked while its strongest fighters are out on another universe fighting, and it'd be up to Gohan to do something.

I really did want a balance of counterparts and new stuff, so I'm also disappointed that they're all joke designs.

Why would they tease female saiyans and not deliver?! What a red herring that was!

Hmmm, I kinda like that idea. Something like Earth turning out to be one of those giant dragon balls and Champa's plan was actually to lure the fighter's away.

Yeah, really surprised about this, but mostly because I expected there to be more than one saiyan in the group and chances of one of them being female pretty high.

Well. I too am disappointed. They look very fan ficy. Thought it was fake when I saw them. But I'll wait and see how the look in the anime, and hopefully they'll grow on me.

Seriously though I didn't like it that Fat Bear design and the Mecha fighter one, all the rest looks fine to me.

I wonder if that Freeza's race guy is using an armor or that in his shoulders are really a part of his body :think:
