With Zarbuto's funny scene at this episode U2 isn't safe in 118.

But I do think U6 will still be the one erased. They have really slowed down with the eliminations. Katopesla survived this episode, I think only Zarbuto and Rabanra will be eliminated in 117. Maybe Rozie too.

It's not really all that impressive considering Goku was running on fumes by the time he used SSJB. Stacking Kaioken on top of that was dumb, but he had no choice. Whis flat out states he had no chance of beating SSJ Kafla at that stage.
I know. In fact, it's more impressive that a recovering SSB Goku was matching SSJ Kafla.
It was said that Goku's stamina was low, not his overall power.

It should be noted that it doesn't look like Kefla wasn't going all out either since she wanted to fight Goku longer.

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.

Add-In ~~~ If that is the case while I would dislike seeing KeFla go, defused or ringed-out, I certainly would not Mind Finally seeing the Namekin Race getting some Major Power-Ups from this Arc to Shine!!! :mrgreen:
If Champa was smart he should get Saonel to Potara fusion with Piccolo and this way Beerus and Champa both get a strong new member and if the fusion is the last fighter standing they will both not end up being erased.
What I always liked about the Namekins from King Piccolo being seen as a Demon, to Kami being the God of the Earth for sometime, to the Dragon Balls and the Abilities of the Namekin race itself, they have always been a Very Mysterious and Mystical Race of Beings Naturally Gifted in these various gifts including Fusions.

Honestly I rather not have the U6 Namekins do it by Potara cause it goes against what makes Namekins Unique and that is their nature ablity to fuse.

So while I rather not lose 2 new Namekins from U6, I like to see them do this the Namekin way and show WHY Namekins are Powerful and skilled threw their personal Unique Abilities! ;)
This is one time when I don't like the uniquess as it permanent deletes a character from the series. I want to see Namekians being involved in future arc as well.

We should want a unique transformation for Namekians and have it be introduced to Piccolo like how Vegeta introduced Super Saiyan to Cabba. The Universe 6 Namekians must surely have something different from Universe 7 Namekians apart from having skin that is a darker green.

Please no more transformations. It's almost silly that new forms are the be-all-end-all for power progression in this series. Other methods do exist for characters to grow in power. If anything is to be given to Piccolo, which I'm still 90% certain will not happen, then I would prefer for it to not involve some miraculous transformation that was never heard or alluded to in the Namekian species.

I would not really bank on that being the main reason why they where staying anyways, it could have always been a mislead by the writer too, but still a good Theory, Nice one Big Chief and Thanks. :thumbup:

Also I have to say if that was his funny seen with Zarbuto it was a letdown, it was more of a Rabanra funny scene then anything else, so maybe I think if U2 survives which I still say they will, we may still get a funny scene from the writer unless he says otherwise.

I already expect that maybe Rozie will take out 18 but end up sacrificing herself to do so. I don't expect Brianne/Ribrianne to go and maybe at least one more fighter of U2 to maybe stay, either Zarbuto or Zirloin maybe, But I think if after 118 if U2 survives it might be only Brianne left to defend U2 and that will start her more indepth and evolving character arc. It is a story arc right out of Magical Girl/Sailor Moon Stories, espically Sailor Moon Season 1 the final episodes when ALL the other Sailors are killed leaving Usagi the solo left to evolve herself and carry on.

That maybe happening to Brianne here, but we have to wait and see.

Could be a fusion that is only for a limited time maybe, the be a Nice unique difference for the U6 Namekins.

So Zarbuto and that mustache guy were not knocked out yet? Damn it, Kefla! :x

I was about to post the same thing, I don't know but it shouldn't be that weak it feels cheap and irks me that they use the regeneration technique all the damn time.

Intentionally. I want Namekusejins to get their chance to shine for a change, Universe 7's Namekuseijin and Universe 6's Namekuseijins. They urgently need it. Now it's their turn if Kafla really rings out in the next episode.

I think he just called it a Zarbuto scene because he said he likes Zarbuto.

Zirloin seems to be more impressive than Rabanra and Zarbuto, so I think he will stay longer than they will too.

Thing is that if 18 goes out in the fight vs U2, then Piccolo will be the one jobbing to Universe 4.

I think Brianne needs a final powerup, at least make her as strong as Kale, come on she was one of the "fighters to watch out".

Sorry Kafla, you need t go out now because its the Namekian time to shine and also Universe 2.

Zirloin is a big question mark, he has a great design and it would be very disappointing if he gets treated like fodder in episodes 117/118.

Typing from my iPhone.

That is pretty a much the major point. If Brianne is truly one of the fighters to watch out for in this, then she is still likely staying for the foreseeable future to become a more major player.

That also was said about Kale and Jiren and V-Jump was right on them, so it would figure for My Girl Brianne as of now too and it is a good source by that I say.

My Sailor Moon Story theory still holds to this for Brianne too.

I assume that's the Angels' mother.

Also I guess that confirms that Cukatail is a guy (as if it wasn't obvious enough).
I like her design.So much for being a tuffle looks like zarbuto is a fodder like yardrat.I hope toyotaro does something with them.

They come off easily because they can regenerate obviously. Whenever there is an eternal character or one that has a regeneration ability, and I’m talking about anime in general not only Dragon Ball, they always get cut to pieces so easily like they are made of papers. But normal characters can get hundreds of attacks and they only usually get out with scratches and blood at best.

If 18 goes out vs Universe 2 I think it will be 17 in episode as he will be alone so would be a good target for the bugs.

I don't think 18 will go out until episode 119 though and I think it is going to be twins vs twins.

They need to start knocking off some more characters. Really those 3 in today's episode should have been out.

It's been a few episodes now.

They actually spoke more than three words this episode. Soon we'll get full sentences from them.

The whole thing of the Namekians being the last ones standing from U6 is intriguing an all, but I doubt it's because their being saved for something game changing. Also, something tells me Kefla isn't going down in the next one.

So I figured out how goku trigger his UI, he using all his SS form... went from SS1 SS2 SS3, SSG then SSB.... finally SSB KK until his body is out of stamina and he was able to trigger his UI, he did it to jiren and now to Kefla, goku knew entire time that would come back, it wasn't just "out of blue".

Remember, Katopesla won't be out until we will see his unmasked form from the GodPad. For now he's still safe.
