If they were making abrupt changes the animation probably would have collapsed by now instead of this being the most consistent arc yet.
Not really, toppo being the hooded guy change, female broly might be cauliflowa who has different art in base sometime before which didn't make the op are some of them which makes me say this..
I can see your point though
The shape in the PV didn't match Jiren either so it was likely intentional misdirection. If they had changed it that late in production they would have had to throw everything they had of 82 out the window and had they done that that late in production the episode would have come out looking really poor. The episode relies heavily on Toppo himself, his personality and his fighting style, so they would have had to do heavy rewrites to the script and redo the storyboard, not just start over on animation. This would have also required reworking of 85 since that episode leaned on what happened with Toppo in the exhibition.
People are REALLY jumping the gun on Caulifla, the two designs could simply two different characters or she just changes her outfit. This fan base has gotten really, REALLY bad about jumping to conclusions. She's appeared a grand total of one time, and that one time isn't even at the tournament, so there is no reason for people to be jumping to the conclusion that the design we saw first won't be in the show.

Intentional misdirection.. May be.. not impossible..

I can't really argue about this, like I said, it's just a hunch I have, there can be many inside problems we can't think of until we know how everything works..

Didn't jump the gun with her, it's just a hunch I have, which takes her case into consideration as well, nowhere did I conclude anything, neither did I claim to know all the facts, which sir, you don't either..
It would be beneficial to not lump everyone together if a point needs to be made..

I'm going with this

My prediction is that after Cabba teaches Caulifla SSJ and she unlocks LSSJ, Cabba would find her very scary, and in order to gain his trust/love back, Caulifla might attempt to act girly(see ToP Arc previews).

It's obvious that the guy who will be replaced is Master Roshi. He will be replaced by good old Jackie Chun.

Could Roshi being possessed in the next episode be a possibly reason he gets excluded? Perhaps the dark powers take a toll on his mind or body for whatever reason?

-Gohan's bang-

Gohan will most likely only have his bang when he's ultimate. Base Gohan will keep the same haircut.
The bang is an easy way for us to distinguish both forms, as they have been showing since the first Opening.

-Yamcha-

Yamcha is getting a surprising rise in popularity, thanks to the baseball filler episode + his successful spin-off manga.
Toei is also emphasizing the joke of him thinking he will be invited, so it's possible he may end up playing a role in the Tournament.

Chances are, if someone is replaced, it's Buu or maybe Roshi (although now that I think about it, Roshi was said to get some shine). And, hate to say it, Piccolo could be in danger since almost all the stuff around him is training Gohan. Not fighting like the others.
I wouldn't really lose any sleep over other characters like Tenshinhan or Muten Roshi being replaced, but if the other fighters are gonna be replaced, may Toei be condemned.

Somehow I think it's entirely possible that Yamcha not only gets invited, but wins the tournament in some comedic way.

That would be really fun way for it to end, the guy who no one even thought of inviting, the guy who only by certain turn of events ends up in the team when it wasn't even planned, is the guy who ends up winning the tournament..

I think you hit the jackpot here :lol:

Hmm.

So Toyotaro seems to be implying that the roster of Team Universe 7 may change. I can't really react strongly one way or the other on this as Dragon Ball Super related tidbits have mislead us in the past. All I can say at this stage is that I hope that if a teammate is replaced, it's handled well.

We need Yamcha in the team to make it feel complete.

If Yamcha wins it I am sure every fan will be happy with it.

I just hoping he's just creating suspense or anything not the first time they do this.

Pay attention he talks about someone in some team, not U7 one in particular, so it could easily be another famous member we know

Toppo maybe? Or someone from U6 like Hit?
I also like fighting GoDs theory, seeing them fighting too would be awesome

BTW I still pray for extended teams + Yamcha IN in U7 team

It should just be 11 on each team. What would be the problem with adding 1 to each team since we already have 10.

What about members being replaced mid battle royal instead of being replaced before that? This could be plausible.
Dragon Ball was always a kid series and fans should stop being in denial.
