The new series directors will give him the Launch treatment, and also looks like Jaco wont be in attendance either.

Jaco will conveniently vanish again if the time travel subject or anything related to it is brought up.

Woulda preferred it if they actually put a double shot of Piccolo and Gohan meditating then solo shots into Gohan, I didnt quite like the fact that they only put his legs in the shot.

I am not worried about Piccolo and Buu having a solo shot as I feel they don't need to be hyped just like Hit who many people could barely see in the opening. 18 was with 17 so it was a some sort of a solo shot.
Hopefully, I'm not a fan of seeing Boo get shafted again and Piccolo getting the Vegeta treatment.
Krillin was getting hyped a little with the Dragon ball but I think to myself the scene would look out of place and weird if one of the other 6 did his little part.
I see Piccolo as a better choice for that part, you know, being namekian and all, just kinda fits, especially since they already gave a solo shot of Krillin later on with his kienzan.
If there is a warm up match involving Goku, Gohan and someone then if Gohan is to get stronger like the opening indicates then he will probably get his arse kicked in this warm up for him to train with Piccolo. Ultimate is still no match for Blue though. Maybe that fight in the opening is the warm up with Universe 9.
We have people theorizing about that, them changing the OP visuals (mostly the Goku Vs Bald dude, it literally took way too much of the OP, not that its that much of a bad thing since the animation was magnificent, but others fighting in it woulda looked better, like putting them all in the ring having each others backs fighting) hopefully its true, but with the schedule..... (I'm not updated with how Super's production is going lately so I may be wrong) and yeah I expect a lot of Gohan getting his arse kicked in the early runs as well.... shonen cliche to help motivate him.
I just can't imagine Piccolo smiling and being as happy as Krillin was.

If Toriyama puts any character to the side with some nonsense my excitement for this arc will be gone completely.

The Gohan thing can only happen if characters can lose and can continue until their Universe loses completely. We would be able to answer this queation is Toei actually gave us the format of the tournament which is the 1 detail we are missing. I also definitely tbink the opening will change as well.

How it would not? Beerus not meeting Goku would avoid the destruction of many, also erasing would split the realities in two (GT and Super) which is fine.
How does erasing memories split realities? Super would still have happened.They would have to erase time, which as far as we know is not even possible except if someone time travels. And in that case that «death of many» would still have happened, it would not fix anything. It would be extremely pointless.

Also, Golden Frieza and the Pilaf Gang converting into kids back at the android saga are still gigantic plot holes. Frieza trained in GT yet he didn't have Golden, and the Pilaf Gang being old would need them to collect all of the DB again, I don't see how even them would be stupid enough to make a wish wrong two times. Kibitoshin is also a plothole, why would Kibito and Kaioshin fuse again? Considering what the functions of a Kaioshin are, there is literally not reason to.

I don't see why people are still trying to make Super and GT fixing together. Erasing memories as some people say would not solve Goku and Vegeta not going Blue, making two timelines is pointless, and in the Black arc literally ALL of the god died because of Goku amd Beerus meeting, as well as lot of ningen races, did anyone tried to solve it?

I just can't understand why people is trying to make such complicated things. At this rate Super may even go beyond EoZ, and even if it doesn't Toei would care more about a new series than the original GT. They would no bother in doing such complicated things. The 12 universe things gives them a hell lot of material to work in, and you guys really think they will renunce to that just to make GT fit? It would be way easier to make some type of GT remake. The original DBZ movies doesn't fit at all in the Z timeline (most of them at least),did Toei bother into trying to make them fit (apart from Garlic Jr which was used for an arc)? Why would even Toriyama hinself bother into make GT fit? Do we really need all the DB material to fit? Because that's completely impossible.

GT itself didn't fit with Z. Vegeta archieved SS4 by controling Oozaru normal form, something he already did in the Saiyan arc. GT also ignored the «we didn't meet in 5 years» thing of EoZ, whats the problem? Why do you want GT to fit with Super if it can't even fit with EoZ? Whats the problem with them not fitting?

Pilaf gang probably wished for other stupid things before asking for their youth.

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.

Read my last post and quit embarrassing yourself, mate:

[spoiler]I would still prefer if they got into the "Erase Memories" territory, just have Beerus realize that is all his fault because he met Goku a time ago, have them go back in time, obliterate the remainings of Freeza Army avoiding Freeza's revival, erase their memories until the time Beerus woke up and then things would happen just fine till EoZ and ties with GT.[/spoiler]

If they restart everything to the time prior Beerus having met Goku, none of this would have happened.
The 12 universe things gives them a hell lot of material to work in, and you guys really think they will renunce to that just to make GT fit?


As a matter of fact, this is a concept they want to renounce by themselves having this tournament resulting in their ultimate destruction.

Yeah, that would mean everything we have seen so far is utterly pointless

JoJo's Bizzare Adventure showed you can reset a timeline and make it work for the story. JoJolion is awesome because of this.

Epic plot twist. Goku vanished with the fusion to give birth to fusion Zamasu and Black is still alive.
