Might they be trying indistinguishing the god base like this now?
There is no god base though,if anything that aura thing is something goku did so bergamo does not absorb his power.

Maybe there is a god base now if there wasn't one before?
The rof material told us in clear words there is a god base, this isn't fully accepted because it was in the movie material not super..

There was an idea of god base before in the movie and there's nothing stopping them form executing that idea right now in super after many arcs as well..

Well the only proof of god base was in the promotional material,even in the movies nothing hints at it since Gohan can sense Goku fighting Frieza/Beerus in base form but not in super saiyan god/super saiyan blue form.
The aura thing is most likely something goku did so bergamo does not get stronger from being punched,if its not this then Goku's aura drawn differenly,after all Nappa had ssj2 aura and Piccolo had super saiyan aura at some point....

it does appear to have godly Ki... could it be a revision of saiyan beyond god? or is that the same thing as "god base"? It doesn't appear to be Potential Unleashed though, as that's been shown a little too recently for it to be revised.

I guess we'll know later today.

That's because SS2 wasn't thought of that time..
By that logic Vegeta had SSG god hair when he first appeared..

Goku fighting final form freeza in base alone is enough of a proof of god base, we also have the previously mentioned confirmation of it.. Those two things can't just be ignored..
And who says they need to to unsensable in god base? Maybe it's just the power increase for base and the transformation gives real deal of god state..

Well, we will know soon enough, I am sticking with him utilizing god ki in base someway against Bergamo until then

Well those eps didn't have anything to do with this arc. They were slice of life or funny episodes. I don't know why you're including them with this.

Yamcha's baseball episode, the Gohan Saiyaman episodes, the Arale ep, and the Krillin eps were all good, but not part of this arc. They all came before the first episode the tournament was brought up.
I am including them because they won´t be in the manga, You are the one who doesn´t seem to get the context here.

20 episodes? Since when did the recruitment arc last 20 episodes?

You guys do realize it was 10 episodes, right?

- Krillin's ep
- Buu's ep
- 17 eps
- Second 17 ep
- Tien/Roshi
- Gohan/Piccolo
- Gohan/Goku
- Fat Buu is sleeping/everyone in crisis
- Freeza's first episode
- Second Freeza episode

The eps where they're actually heading toward the tournament or the exhibition episodes don't count as part of those eps.
There were a hell lot more of "filler" episodes before the start of the US arc. And any of them will be in the manga, and I honestly prefer it that way, since only the Hit ones were interesting for me. Also, how do you know the exibition doesn't count? Do you know that they will be in the manga?
And?

There were a lot of stupid Great Saiyaman eposodes before the Buu arc that werent in the manga exactly. What is your point?
That´s what I want to ask you. What´s the point of this comment? That´s exactly what I´m saiying, that they won´t be in the manga because they are not necessary and any of them had any explanation about Gohan´s power. What´s wrong with that?

That kind of logic doesn't make sense. The episodes contribute nothing substantial to the grand scheme of the plot for the Universal Survival arc, so the idea of grouping those episodes in the arc is quite frankly absurd. The context for this discussion is for the content in Universal Survival arc, not what comes before it.

Everyone else is knocked off and Limit Broken Goku and Jiren knock each other out.
I've been thinking similar too. What if Goku, Hit and Jiren all remain as the last standing fighters and there's a three way tie at the end of the time limit?
That would be awesome!

I'm really worried for hit. I hope he does well. He's off to a good start but he's getting so little build up .

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.

We had a writer explain how he wrote a good fight for hit if I am not mistaken..
Or was that not for this arc..

Yeah I thought it was pretty clear that this aura was specifically for Bergamo so he doesn't absorb his Ki. Not sure why everyone tries to look into everything so deeply for this show haha

Toshio likes Hit so he is safe for now, I wonder who will face now that Vegeta and Goku are busy with Botamo/Magetta and the U6 Saiyan Trio, Toppo?

Prediction time guys, who else besides U9 will get eliminated in tonights episode?

People from U10?

I'm very worried that they can ruin one of the best characters in the franchise. He needs to stay in the top 3/4 to continue to be relevant.

I'm curious what about Hit to you makes him one of the best characters in the series? To me he has no character, barely speaks and has a gimmick with the time skip thing, there is nothing remotely interesting about him in my opinion of course and sadly looks like Jiren is falling in the same category which is a shame, Toppo oozed so much personality yet this Jiren guy they have been hyping there isn't anything to him other than look bad ass.

Dragon Ball isn't meant to have boring stoic charachters.

Even if he gets elimimated early, it still wont ruin his character. He's forced to fight non lethaly in this tournament when he does better lethaly, even if Jiren takes him out here, maybe Hit would win in a fight to the death.

I love his respect for his kills, his respect for Goku in general, his design, his character development , the fact that he's an assassin, how calm he is and his abilities.
