Kunsi is definitely gone in the next episode, idk about Dyspo, he might be forced to retreat. We have seen fighters retreat when they felt overwhelmed(Ganos, Jimizu with the kamikaze Fireballs).
How is Dyspo being wasted when he's fighting one of the strongest fighters in the tournament? You don't even know the guy and you're all over the dude.
Wasted -> making him fight for one episode.

So based on the preview, it looks like Hit was really going to get eliminated by Dyspo and the other guy if Goku hadn't save him in the last second. So much for him having a decent fight with Jiren :?

We have no idea how many episodes Dyspo will fight for. Everyone thought Toei had wasted the Universe 2 Yardrat, but they managed to utilize him very well in this episode.

There wasn't ever really much of a chance of Hitto having a good fight with Jiren imo. Had they fought, they'd probably would have Jiren stomp him.

I'm fully under the belief that Hitto is being saved for Vegeta at some point.

Universe 10's erasure felt kind of lackluster compared to U9's erasure. None of the U10 fighters were freaking out and they all seemed to have accepted their death. Gowasu accepted his death, which was in-character, but Rumsshi's reaction wasway out of character. He had the exact same reaction as Gowasu and the U10 fighters, but, based on his characterization, he should have reacted similarly to how Rou did when he got erased. And none of the remaining fighters besides Gohan had any reaction to U10 getting erased.

Until Goku gets his new form, I dont think anyones going to have a "decent" fight with Jiren. If Hit dose it will be like this....without the death.

Not all characters need to go through that same reaction in order to make the scene impactful.

That attack Kunsi was using seems very similar to the threads Bojack's gang used in movie 9.

I think Universe 10's erasure was impactful and emotional because Gohan was staring at a locket showing Obni and his family as it got erased. He then seemed to take a moment to collect himself.

Yeah but at least some of them shouldn't be so quick to accept their death. And that doesn't change the fact that Rumsshi was out of character.

Wow, so a little under half the people have been eliminated thus far, and most of them by U6/U7. This twin universe combo is unstoppable. So the fodder was pretty much eliminated in the first 10 minutes. The rest of the 37 mins will focus on tough opponents and we have 44 of them to rift through.

I expected some more god level people from other universes.
At least one from each, Ganos better be packing heat, Dyspo, Toppo, Jiren, Hit, Ribrianne, not much else
from what we've seen. I guess they're just trying to chop down the roster to the few that are actually strong.

Also, Dyspo is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY stronger than his buildup suggested, I think only when I saw him in the ending
I was like "Hmm, that's rather queer" :think:

Only 11 minutes have passed? I'm starting to think that time moves differently in the world of Dragon Ball.

Rumsshi knew exactly what the consequences were for losing in this tournament. Which is he why he was accepting of his death. So people can be stressed but be contemplative when they know their time is up. Rumsshi isn't like Rou who was an uptight jerkass that cared more for his ego. And given that Universe 10 had a higher mortal rating, Rumsshi certainly seemed to care more the state of his universe, despite his initial demeanor.

Ganos isn't god tier, he's fodder tier. He was losing against base Goku. U4's heavy hitters are going to be Damon and maybe that other hidden fighter (I say maybe because I have a feeling that Tien will beat one of the two hidden fighters).

Could be for you, but for me, it was because we actually know gowasu, but it doesn't matter because not every universe needs to matter nor do we need a moment of silence.

There wasn't any need for dialogue at all. Just the sorrowful music along with the look on Gohan's face upon laying his eyes on the locket containing a picture of Onpi's family says it all. It's definitely something Gohan can relate and sympathize with considering he entered the tournament for the sole purpose of protecting not only his universe, but his family as well.

Speaking of which, why did Zeno go through the trouble of focusing on erasing something as minuscule as locket? Are they trying to emphasize how much of a dick Zeno is and how much he's well aware of it instead of the innocent little child god he's supposed to be in the first place?

Yeah, that didn't seem necessary for the little bastard to do.
