"Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

[Ki Breaker]

Gohan Piccolo could be fighting the namekian team? Sweet!
It's suprising they aren't out yet, it's almost time for members of our team to start dropping out again.. For all that delicious shock factor..

Also, those namekians look real good, digging the dark green..

[Hugo Boss]

Exactly, the Universe 4 bugs have actually been properly foreshadowed, and it makes me want to see what they can do. Just because the U6 Namekians are from the same race as Piccolo doesn't mean they're automatically interesting, especially since they've appeared like once on-screen for 2 seconds.

Same,i'm just excited to see those bugs,there cute and i like the trope of cute but dangerous and i"m glad tien did not face againts them because that would be boring and predictable.

I bet their purpose is to remain in the battlefield until there is only one warrior from other universe standing in the ground. So, since they are two survivors, they will win the tournament.

Yup. if nothing else, their appearance looks cool. Also a little interested on who will voice them.

[Draconic]

As if I could wait for this episode any longer, they release this... C'mon Toei! I can only contain so much excitment!

[JazzMazz]

I think a constant battle between the universe 6 Nameks and Gohan and Piccolo as a tag team would be decent use of screen time for all of them TBH.

[TheMikado]

What's up with ultra instinct being classified as a "form" by so many people?

It's a technique of moving without thought which goku was using after he used up all his ki, the white aura was explicitly said to be him using spirit bombs energy as a temporary source of power..
He didn't achieve any new form..
All that sliver eyed look was him using the bombs energy..

This is no powerup, Goku is still only as strong as before ultra instinct, he is just on a different plane now.. And can fight much better..

Like whis said before, if you manage to master this technique, you can beat anyone, simple raw power was taken out of the equation as soon as you got this down..

Or I am misinterpreting something, if that's the case I would appreciate some light being shed on that..

I know I’m way late in this but I have he exact same theory especially based in the manga foreshadowing and setup so far where Whis specifically tells Vegeta that if he mastered it he could take on Beerus.

My excitement has gone way down since the Namekians first appearance is just some sideshow.

Saonel will end up having the same voice as Piccolo just like how Frieza and Frost have the same voice actor.

Truly the greatest joke in the tournament

Piccolo as well gohan really need a legit tag battle so this could be the good time to use them

Yeah, that will probably be the Namekians main purpose in this tournament.

I hope not, Nail didn't have the Piccolo's VA either. Ryusei Nakao has voiced every member of his race with the exception of King Cold, so Frost having the same voice was to be expected.

Yeah, Universe 7 really needs to take some more losses soon. Halfway into the tournament they've lost three, and it's the three you'd expect to go out first.

It wouldnt be much of a surprise, it just for Toei to save money.

I noticed that Gohan is in base in that picture with Piccolo. I hope its not a repeat of the Yardrat fight.

That probably is their main purpose. Two invisible bugs gives Quitela instantly 2 fighters to go far in the tournament.

As for the Namekians, I like that they're being shown but I'm not all that hyped for them, especially if it's Gohan and Piccolo fighting them.

I want the fight to be put on hold for some reason as this is just stupid placement when we have Jiren vs Hit in the same episode. I am just really hoping that the Namekians make it to the end of the episode still in.

Didn't you hope that they might have some connection to Hit? Well, if this is Hit's last episode as a fighter in this tournament, maybe they've been brought out to react to his elimination.

Dunno, we have a couple of hours left of speculations, might as well thrown in some optimism in there. I'm already geared for dissapointment.

[omaro34]

I sincerely hope that those Namekians are merely being introduced and have a short cameo appearance this episode, so that will justify not mentioning them in the spoilers.

Namekian on Namekian crime is on the rise.

[Hawk9211]

Excited and apprehensive at the same time. The namekians engaging in a fight in an episode they weren't even mentioned does indeed not bode well for them/my hopes and dreams.
Also I was hoping we'd get a different team up than Piccolo/Gohan but it all comes down to execution.

Worst case scenario, they are get knocked off as collateral damage.

Nowadays,gohan and piccolo team up leaves a bad taste in my mouth.Definitely not excited,hopes they are misleading again.However, I don’t think they will be knocked out in one episode even if they are unimportant.

[Hawk9211]

Oh and jiren appears to be getting a interesting move set.

[Baggie_Saiyan]

Edit-
Never mind.

That was one of many theories.

There surely can't be much going with them in the episode as they appeared in no magazine preview or next episode preview whereas for every othet episode we knew who was appearing by either of these 2 things.

I sincerely hope that those Namekians are merely being introduced and have a short cameo appearance this episode, so that will justify not mentioning them in the spoilers.

Namekian on Namekian crime is on the rise.

It think it is an introduction as the Hit fight and him getting knocked out is surely enough for this episode.
