Maybe they'll update it to include Bulma after Bra is born.
They need to update it to include other scenes than the alien vs Goku.. that fight is scattered all over the op..
That fight just ruins it when we could have seen Piccolo, Buu or Gohan fight. We could have even seen some Universe 6 fighters fight instead. I would have liked them to cut the opening scene into 4 seperate fights.

Yeah, f*** Goku and his alien buddy, show other characters fighting for good sake.

People saying Hit was a cell knock off or a purple Piccolo is ridiculous anyways

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.

Its not by the tournament itself, but its format that highly resembles Multiverse fan comic.

And that he's a Paikuhan rip-off? That's the worst lol

That doesn't explain the lack of blue though.
Toei's just being a tease, thats definitely a new form, Goku was glowing after he removed that red aura with ssjb effects, I bet we'll get new visuals after the form makes its intro.
I am very confident it is a tease for a new form also. We already saw SSGSSKK twice so it doesn't make sense that, that is what they're teasing plus it's not a form. They teased SSG and SSGSS in OP1 so it makes sense they'll tease another form in OP2 except we knew from the movies about those forms so this is why they are being more vague in OP2.

Looks and popularity are 2 different things, you can like the character but not his design, I still don't like Hit's face but I like him.
Same. Hit doesn't really look all that great. His abilities and what we've seen of him in filler make him more interesting. Not a huge fan of his look, but he grows on me as a character. The buff guy looks like the typical jobber they'd have lose to Goku to show muscles mean nothing nor does size. I'll wait and see if personality comes with it.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to see the others fighting in the intro, but I'd also be lying if I said I didn't love seeing my bro Goku fighting buff alien dude, it was sick.

Piccolo is just there to job, Gohan at least got a cool scene in regaining his mystic form, and Buu and that badass walk which made me chuckle.

Krillin might have one of the best performances among the secondary cast, the OP implies he is the main support character.

I'm feeling that both Piccolo and Gohan will have their redemption in this arc, can't wait to see them fighting 2-on-2 against some weird rabbit and fox fighters.

You are looking into them scenes way too much
These characters are not just going to get beat in 2 seconds and sit at the side for 30 episodes. The team aspect is being promoted a lot in this arc.

They will probably end up taking out some big players in the tournament to give Universe 7 a good advantage.

I too am leaning on it being a new form or at the very least, some new type of Kaio-Ken. But honestly, given how anime openings work, it could very easily just be something cool they made up to get people excited. Remember how the second Bleach opening has a shit load of fights in it that don't actually happen like Uryu vs Hitsugaya or Chad vs Soifon.
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.

Closest I can think of is Goku staring down first form Freeza, and it never happening in on OP.

Wasn't that just a scene from Bardock TV Special?

I'm hoping we don't see a new transformation. I'm hoping is the ssb kaioken perfected or super Saiyan God who agrees with me

Most scenes in anime openings never make it into actual episodes. Or if they do they're changed drastically.

It's like everyone forgot about Cabbas "kicking" fighting style in the opener for the universe 6/7 tournament plus didn't that have Gohan? I don't think anything in the openers mean anything.

Hit is an awful character if you can even call him one. You'd have to have personality to start with. This dude is probably going to be the same, you can tell by looking at him, he has the same serious look that Hit does. Then again i hope i'm wrong.

Meanwhile FemBroly will probably get a joke fight with 18 and become a housewife after marrying Cabba.

AT trolled the Broly fandom :lol:

Agreed. Also, I think with this new form we can potentially assume they will get some training time in before it starts.

Not things but he picked up the fainted Gohan after the battle with Raditz.
