Excited for the upcoming new OP but I'm kinda scared at the same time, this guy is an enka singer right? its his first time doing a rock song, aint it kinda too fast to put his 1st rock song in a show like DB?

We can't see them clearly.

But it look like there's only Champa and Beerus with cat's ears, the others doesn't seems to have cat's ears and there's a giant.

Is the second song in the new trailer supposed to be the OP?

They can still be cats, their features are just hidden.

I hope they arent all cats. I really like cats actually but it would defy the idea of it being an appointed position.

And yet Roshi, a character weaker than King Piccolo back in Dragonball is here. What the hell.
Exactly my thoughts, mate. As LightBing said:
LightBing wrote:Do they actually know it's a life or death tournament from the get go? It could start friendly and unravel. We know close to nothing about this tournament.

Too much outrage based on predictions. Wait for the bloody arc. I bet they will give us a bunch of aspects to criticize and to praise.
Well, with the confirmation of the Daishinkan explaning how this survival tournament works I find hard to believe that Beerus won't tell to Goku and the others, so now makes no sense for them avoiding to get Goten and Trunks on their team.

Lie? No, that would be underwhelming in so many ways I don't think they would hype us by a lie.

I don't think this filler will have some connection with the new arc.

Well, maybe at first they will guess it's a friendly competition, and when they arrived at Zeno's place, they'll learn that it's not, and at stake there is their universe?

The strongest roster would be Goku, Vegeta, Boo, Gohan, Trunks, Goten, Piccolo, #17, #18 and Kuririn. Why they're bringing Roshi is beyond me, Yajirobe is stronger than him, Yamcha is stronger than him, Chaozu and Jaco too.

What about the winners, what should they get? If the losers get their Universe destroyed, the prize must be something really good.

It is not just about power. You need to bring people who will get the job done when under pressure.

Tien and Roshi are much better at handling the pressure.

That is why if at any stage durimg the tournament there is a round where it is like the universe 6 vs universe 7 tournament you would not put people like Gohan and Vegeta at the end as they are no good in pressure situations. Goku are Piccolo are the best at handling pressure and the other members of the team would put their trust in them to pull a win towards the end of the tournament, so they would go last.

Given the reactionary shot of Goku and Beerus at the end this is likely the case.
I think that indicates exactly the opposite. They know from the start what are the stakes involved. We see no manga panels with the other team members, so the team doesn't seem to be gathered at that point. It also explains why 17 is there, who isn't exactly close to the others.

He could have just taken the strongest fighters in his universe because it is the match against other gods of destructions in a sense..
You need the best you can get..
They most definitely didn't know the the stakes would be so damn high

Something makes me think there will be a tiny God. Since there's a huge one, the opposite Universe's version will be super small.

I hope this arc will be really long. Not only cause they're changing the OP for this saga, but there's also no way they could fit all of this in the short amount of episodes that they've been doing. Plus they've been building this since the Champa arc, no way they'd make it so short.

Nah see, Roshi was always God Tier, he just didn't feel like using his max power up until now:

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.

See, here's the thing..
They shouldn't make it short, at any costs..
But they tend to do so all the time..
It seems like they really gotta pee but telling the story comes first..

This arc should substance wise surpasses namek saga, they really need to not rush it in any way this time..
It seems like they are trying, I am sure the animation would be good where it counts but the story framing aspect, Not so sure about that
