Draconic wrote:Well, Kafla acting as Goku's UI trigger was obvious, especially with how much it's been mentioned those last couple of episodes that he's pushing his limits everytime he transforms. She's getting something new too, so it should be a cool one.

The Androids are finally back in the spotlight as well, against U2 nonetheless. It will be fun to see 18 vs Brianne or Rozie and 17 against anybody, really.

Regarding the next Universe to go... I don't see any way how that won't be U6. Ever since the special we've constantly gotten focus on them and with Kafla going against UI Goku (and with Freeza as back-up) the Saiyan girls are goners. That leaves the U6 Namekians and I can totally see 118 being the episode their fight vs Gohan and Piccolo gets the focus. And with U6 gone, Vegeta will be mad, leading into his and Toppo's fight. It just makes too much sense.
I completely agree with you, narratively it makes sense to have universe 6 eliminated since they've spent pretty much every episode after the special specifically focusing on them.

However, we also need to take into account that this Super, so there is still the chance they'll somehow stuff this up.

At least I'm happy U4 is safe.

Idk why there are some people thinking that Kalefla will defeat UI Goku, it will never happen. And Freeza hasnt moved from his spot.

The moment both UI Goku passes out and Kalefla difuses, U2 will go for Goku and Freeza will go for the Saiyan Girls, it makes sense...

119 is about U4 and it sounds like U7 might lose a fighter.

About the spoilers: I think it's quite an absurd that SSJB + KK will job to Kefla so the only way he could defeat her is with the Ultra Instinct, but f*** power levels, I'm glad we'll see more 17 & 18 and hopefully we can see some good old slaughter provided by them, but maybe not.

And Goku is out of energy again? Dammit! Will he need other person to spank him so he can recover his energy again? That's sucks. :problem:

That still comes from an unsourced person and never been backed up by anyone.
kei17 is a reliable person here and had provided other informations before. You can choose not believe in him, but that's on you.

If Kefla and Goku teamed up they'd whoop Jiren's ass
What? No.

Jiren put in very little effort while dealing with Goku, even in his climax moments. No signs of struggle whatsoever
The same is true of Goku before he burned out.

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

Fuck that it needs UI to take these two out. It would've been so much better if they didn't get this rush job power boost and at least have Kale fight Gohan. A fight between the two rage-boosters would be cool
One of of Piccolos main point in 88 was that Gohan relies too much on anger, so him rage-boosting isn’t good. In fact, we haven’t seen Gohan rage boost at all in Super.

And why are you shock a fusion is powerful?

Well, I'm back to biting my nails. Pretty sure it's either Piccolo or 18, and if the universe that gets eliminated is U6, then yeah, Piccolo would be the first on the list :(

Goku isn't even at full power LOL Why are people forgetting this fact? Why is it a surprise that Kefla, a potara fusion, in base can outpace a TIRED SSG Goku. a Goku so weak he can't even go above Kaioken x ONE if we go by his statement based on the preview. This dude is hanging on by a thread going up against this fusion that tired.
Zamasu is the best DB villain besides Freeza (and this is only the case because the current Super arc elevated Freeza to be that good).

If Goku is going Blue and Kaioken, he isn’t that tired, especially ‘hanging on by a thread going’.

Happy, am I, to see the return of the Mastery of Self-Movement. I hope a good freelance animator is available to depict Mastery of Self-Movement Gokuu versus Kefla.

I am also happy to see Tomioka Atsuhiro returning. I really hope he winds up writing another major string of episodes soon.

That a Universe will be erased?

And for episode 119 goes, I'm going with 18 being eliminated.

Androids vs Damon and Gamisaras make sense, Siblings vs Siblings.

Besides, 18 is less relevant than Piccolo, so 18 should be out.

"Goku is tired" is the new "Goku is holding back" ?

Goku doesn't need relatively good again to go into these forms. he just needs to have the stamina to do it and not be completely drained. and if he can't go Kaioken let alone Kaioken x20, he's practically 1/20 of his normal strength. even in the manga, where Blue actually zaps stamina the moment you transform, Vegeta was able to remain in Blue when he was only 1/10 of Goku's SSG form.
Zamasu is the best DB villain besides Freeza (and this is only the case because the current Super arc elevated Freeza to be that good).

Goku was holding back practically the entire tournament until he went up against Jiren.

I'm not shocked, just the blatant favoritism is annoying. I'm sick of seeing U6 girls. Only U6 fighter I enjoyed was Hit and he's out. I'd love to see more of the U6 Namekians but nope.

They better not have Piccolo getting bombed due to saving Gohan from the Bug Siblings, him going out before 18 is a big insult to Piccolo fans.
