I don't know. I can't get myself hyped for a special if I don't know what it's about. So I'll just have to settle for being mildly interested until then.

But crossing my fingers that it isn't an adaption of anything. I want something new. Maybe a small, whatever, villain to try to fill the hole that Goku Black left and Jiren just isn't filling. It's an hour long right? That's longer than most of the DBZ movies.

106 sounds neat though. Hopefully Tien gets to do a cool thing before he gets bullied out of the ring.

Universe 11 winning is too obvious and not 4 either as it's most likely getting erased soon..
The very next candidate is universe 6 but that would really suck..

I believe that Vegeta shouldn't show up in the episode if you're already going to have Gohan Piccolo and Tenshinhan on the case. Any way, the synopsis sounds very interesting, and at least reveals that universe 4 is actually going to get an elimination(I'd be amazed if it wasn't universe 4).

They can see everyone else so it has to be the bugs.

Wait, it just dawned on me that these specials mean that for 2 weeks there won't be any new DBS episodes. Here is hoping we don't leave off on a big juicy spot. Or would that be a good thing? Oh well, either way, at least the special should tide me over.

The episode after the break might look more polished visually, but other than that, I don't see how it would make a substantial difference.

Is the special a cross-over or not? I am reading so many conflicting things.

There should be a new ending as well.

Were we informed of a new ending?
When Super apparently shoves Goku down our throats:

The visual really seems to imply that. What have you read that might contradict that?

They are usually 12 episodes each so episode 108 would be the last episode for the current ending.

I'm pretty excited for a new ending myself tbh. I'm pretty curious what the visuals will be for it since we'll still be in the ToP for it.

Yeah it definitely does, doesn't make sense to have one visual for two separate unrelated specials and it's just on twitter TL some saying it's a crossover some saying it's not.

Hmm, maybe its' more like people are hoping it's not. Would've preferred a DB only special myself, didn't like the last cross-over that much. But if they do make it a cross-over, I really hope it's Cross Epoch.

ANN saying "but the specials aren't listed as crossover specials." Hmmmm.

Nothing about Roshi.
It makes me think he won't get ringed out next week.

He could but the preview looks like it could be his last episode in the tournament and has been 6 episodes since the last knockout for Universe 7.

It seems Tenshinhan has a special ability now to locate people.

Most likely some technique envolving his 3rd eye.

The fighter from Universe 2 who looks like Blanka has a gun on his arm so it could be him but since they can't see the fighters and becuase of Tien it is most likely the bugs.
