I think Gohan is gonna lose this match for tension.

I don't see why Goku, Vegeta and Piccolo would be the dream team.
Piccolo is cool but Gohan even without training was stronger than Piccolo in ROF arc.

Goku was willing to take the reborn Kid Buu over Piccolo. Vegeta had to remind Goku that he would be too young.

Vegeta will have no Bra if they don't win. Vegeta is not someone who would put all his trust in others. Especially Buu who he basically called stupid based on the last tournament and Gohan who does not fight. The only way this would make sense is if Goku never tells Vegeta. Regarding Piccolo, I just hope that him 'being on business' means he has been training.
Since this seems to be a showcase match, Vegeta isn't needed so he can stay for the birth of his child and since there is no test this time Buu can enter. Gohan does fight when he have to and Piccolo, if you can pick Gohan and Buu, there is no need for Piccolo.

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

According to the preview summaries the losing universe gets destroyed.

Why would they wanna do such a bold move? it clearly states the losing universe will be wiped out so there's that too..

Gohan and buu are fighting in survival arc already, there's no need to make up for their absence by adding filler tournament
Because it is an exhibition match and not the real tournament, if U9 is wiped out now then they wouldn't psrticipate in the tournament.
And yes, Gohan and Buu are in the tournament but we don't really know for sure if they will be useful there or not, here they will be.

It's not an exhibition match it's a preliminary there's a difference. The summary clearly says the losing universe will be wiped out.

Goku, Gohan, and Vegeta has been and will always be the dream team. Number 9 has always been my thing so I'm not surprised that my favorite animal is going to represent universe 9. Also I'm tired of people screaming that new characters should be weak. Ffs we don't know their lives ! We also don't know how strong their species are inherently ! Fuck stop watching Super if you want them to curb stomp everyone.

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.

Gohan never really had a big battle until Cell and then just stopped fighting becuase Toriyama realised the role he was going to give him simply was not Dragon ball.

Forget about the power of the characters I feel that in the last tournament Toriyama just left out Gohan on purpose simply becuase he felt Piccolo just seems better for a fighting tournament and for the franchise as a whole. It is quite hard to explain what I mean.

Character designs mean nothing and the previews say they are strong and Buu is at a diadvantage.

Gohan was definitely part of the dream team during the Boo saga. He was one of the 3 chosen to go into Babidis ship and he ended up becoming the strongest. Even in the Freeza saga, Gohan had the third biggest role.

That probably means that only half the universes will participate in the actual tournament,since 6 of them will be wiped out in these preliminaries.

The difference isn't big, both serves to show something, in this case it's a fight before the actual tournament, It will be much different if it says this is a classification match or something, but if it is only to show Zeno how Goku and co fight then there isn't any sense in destroying the losers's universe, and it doesn't clearly say the losing universe will be wiped out, not with that question mark at least.

Piccolo was not there until Frieza because of Gohan

Everyone who is not Goku and Vegeta look at Piccolo when danger happens and he has this big presence.

Overall, Gohan does not deserve this status and to me it doesn't feel right if Gohan is in a top team instead of people like Piccolo, Krillin and Tien due to him not liking to fight.

Well, technically he didn't lose last time.. haha.

I think he'll do well this time and if the opening is an indicator than Goku will dominate too. That only leaves Gohan, so I'm pretty sure he'll lose this time. Which will be fine if this motivates him to train I guess.

If its trying to say dog then also, they are clearly wolves

This breaking of English language is downright stupidity sometimes
Seems like one of the usual internet memes like how people like to say "snake" as "snek." It's weird. Know your meme to the rescue.

So Universe 9 is a bunch of wolves, so...Universe Canine? :V Even though they're probably the weakest if not weaker of the fighters, I kind of like we got some anthropomorphic characters that are somewhat capable of fighting Goku, Gohan, and Buu besides some of the Gods of Destruction. It's different. No doubt they're probably gonna get thrashed, but it's expected.

I think as mentioned, Buu is probably laughing because he's reminded of Bee, but we'll see.

What a coincidence that universe 7 vs 9 are going to fight in episode 79 coincidence I think not. I'm hoping Gohan and buu don't jobbed In this or team canine won't be a bunch of pushovers

As far as we know it's only happening between 7 and 9.

Yes you're right.However,it's a huge possibility that this will happen between the other universes too.

These disgusting wolves being on par with Buu and two godly Saiyans just doesn't feel right. Hopefully the scene of Goku beating the crap out of the wolf in the opening is how the match goes. Disgusting furry animals.
I feel you, girl. They don't look like aliens at all, just a bunch of random Man-Wolves that no one would find weird if they lived on (U7) Earth, but you should have no problem with that as it's Toriyama way of doing things. Let's just hope these fights were good and well animated.

Calm down, mate. It's not like by losing they can't just use as motivation to train hard to the actual tournament.

I see, still pretty weird they chose a word which already has an established meaning..

Guys, after this exhibition match we are getting the universe destroying idea hammered down, what are the chances berrus takes this seriously and everyone trains with whis..
There has to be a point to the exhibition matches, it's probably to have goku and Zeno's relationship go bad so the real tournament is actually a big risk
