Sigh. C'mon Toriyama.
Buu can't put a full sentence together so is it really that surprising ?
It was said the test was to keep mindless monsters from entering the tournament. Boo is somewhat intelligent.

If it's a Baba style tournament how does it make sense at all to have Piccolo come after Goku?

I'm getting the feeling this tournament isn't going to last very long and is just going to be a lead in into a new arc.
They can probably switch whenever they want to between matches so each one will get to fight before deciding who get's the purple guy.

I don't think it'll be short but I agree that it'll probably lead into something bigger.

Not surprised Boo failed the test, but I was hoping for a bit of a swerve from Toriyama. Oh well.

Goku vs Botamo looks like it's gonna be interesting and very much in the balance.

We have the same joke as in the 21st TB. Kinda sets the tone, a decent bulk of comedy and some awesome fighting.

Disappointed about Boo's exclusion, I don't see why. There must be something to it that will be shown later.

What was the point of including Buu in the first place if he wasn't going to fight? That's borderline false advertising if it turns out that he's intended to do nothing this whole arc.

If a mindless monster's IQ is a 10 then buu's is an 11-15 at the most so he kind of fits that description.

Hope we get a general summary soon. I'm really curious about the dialogue in this one.

Not really, the teams were announced, but give the nature of the tournament, nothing was confirmed that all of the combatant were gonna fight. Don't get me wrong, I'm disappointed Majin Boo failed the test, but it's not really shocking considering he's, well, not book smart. It'll be really interesting to see how this plays out for me.

I meant, what was he singing, since that's what he appeared to do. I need more context to see if it's that funny.

Did they mention they were gonna get a replacement in the meantime or is the tournament just gonna be 4 vs 5?

They don't plan on replacing him according to the chapter, so it seems like it'll be 4 vs 5.

It'll probably be 4 vs 5 so that each U7 fighter gets a win before getting destroyed by the Purple guy.

Judging from Beerus and Vegeta's reactions, it doesn't really seem like they are getting a replacement, though of course it should be quite easy given they have taxi man Kibito available.

Everybody loses, Beerus gets desperate and ask"Is there nobody else?". Cue for Gohan to come in and save the day.

With a big climactic battle between Goku and Hit closing the tournament.
