Are you really trying to justify the crap he has been dealt in the tournament?

Anyone suggesting it is Piccolo is also assuming that episode 118 is about the Namekians and that the bugs decide to attack Piccolo and Gohan.

I think episode 118 is Unuverse 2 so that is why I think episodr 119 is 18 falling.

Why would anyone assume 18 is staying longer than Piccolo anyway?

If a spoiler reveals it is Piccolo then I won't even watch the episode ir the rest if the arc anymore and just read a summary of each episode as I will never accept that Toriyama and Toei decided to treat Krillin, Roshi and 18 way better than Piccolo in an arc like this one. It is sending me crazy just thinking about it.
I think episode 118 is about U2 because most of Brianne fight have lasted more than 1 episode.

Episode 102/103: Brianne was fighting Vegeta and 17.

Episodes 107-109: She was fighting Goku.

Episodes 109-111: She was fighting Vegeta.

Lets also check Universe 2

Ranbara: Scared by Jiren and has fodder written over his face.

Zarbuto: Affected by Caulifla vs Goku clash.

Zirloin: He was fightning papparoni, who is fodder.

They are so getting trashed in episode 117, and by the end of that episode Brianne and Rosie will be the last survivors.
I think the same and the title of episode 118 is just annoying. We will find out in the Weekly Shonen Jump leak that happens 10 days before the episode airs. That means on the 23rd November we will know.

18 is new to the fighting cast and pretty popular herself if I'm not mistaken.
How is 18 new to the fighting cast? Comparing the popularity of Piccolo and 18 is not even a contest.

This would be Toriyama's decision and not Toei's anyway.

According to Herms, Episode 119's title is "A New Sacrifice from Universe 7! Universe 4 Gets Serious!!"

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 :(
Man I hope your wrong. If it is him, then at least I hope they make his exit as non embarrassing as possible.

I think that with the exception of BOG where she charged at Beerus together with Piccolo and Tien, she has never once fought alongside them. She is in a way as much of a novelty as 17 is. Sometimes that counts more than being around longer.
Also, I know Piccolo scored well in polls, but those were are also more then ten years ago.

You know its funny you say that because if you think about it 18 has been treated better than Piccolo ever since the Buu saga,including GT.

Piccolo is more popular than 18,so whoever of the 2 is eliminated will have nothing to do with popularity anyways.

If you are getting crazy over how a fictional character is treated then the issue is with you,not Toei/Toriyama.

U2 still has like 6 members left, it would be boring if they all lost at the same time, like the U9 elimination was quite rushed, I think the one to be eliminated next is U6.

This is getting scary, because Piccolo is the first thing that comes to mind when it comes to sacrifice, he going to get Yamchad :thumbdown:

Universe 11 lost 4 members in episode 101, and they were more relevant than Universe 2.

To be fair, this is Toriyma about; might be a reverse with Piccolo getting protected by Gohan since it's become a meme now.

But this is Toei we are talking about, they like their Z homages, never forget when Piccolo died in FnF in order to protect Gohan.

Sacrifice to do what exactly? I think it means something completely different then what you think it does.

Toriyama has only had Piccolo sacrifice himself once so I don't see why he would do it again unless Toyotaro gave him a 'suggestion' and he said yes.

A better and more thrilling idea to hype U4's bugs would be to loss a heavy hitter like Vegeta or Gohan, but the title seems to point clearly towards Piccolo,which further reinforces the idea that 118 would be about his fight alongside Gohan against the namekians. Toei has shown they are stuck with the "Piccolo sacrifices himself for Gohan" trite dynamic.
Hopefully he will have the chance to look good in his last two episodes, but considering his record in Super I'm not holding my breath. At least he won't be the worst performer of the tournament, thanks to Tenshinhan.

No, we don't really know which we're talking about, but it's most likely that the way in which the Universe 7 fighters get eliminated is in the outline.

Piccolo will eliminate 1 Namekian imo, which would make his performance as good as Tien(2 eliminations and 0 assists)...

Look how Toyotaro treated Piccolo in the manga, far worse than in the anime.
