(I mean...I like Gohan and Piccolo team ups, but I also want them interacting with others).

From there, have Piccolo be targeted by the three robots (say that their supreme Kai sees him as the weakest and decides to take aim at him) and looks about ready to lose when 17 gives him a hand. The duo then get a big fight together and defeat the robots only for the stadium grounds to explode around them (I'm going with the thought that the Cicadas will stay around for a while), eliminating them both and shocking U7 at the double elimination.

Thoughts? I just thought it would be a better way to both give some characters a big moment and a decent (as good as one can be) elimination from the tournament.
Piccolo and 17 vs U3 sounds like a good idea.

But I really hope Katopesla is the last one standing for U3. Like the guy's a survivor, he needs to stay longer imo :lol:

Vegeta eliminated would be a twist I am down for, unexpected good stuff..
Something along the lines of this is fine

I was thinking about it too. It's funny the same people who want surprises and the other universes to matter don't want Vegeta taken out which would be a huge thing in both categories.

I'm torn on whether I'd be okay with Vegeta going out that way but I doubt he will.

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.

:lol: :thumbup:

But seriously, that scene with Vegeta tripping over the edge might be the biggest feint the previews ever pulled. Kind of get the feeling the same thing is true with 18, the scene with her falling and Krillin screaming seems like bait.

Some people believe that 18 is gone becuase there are scenes where 17 seems alone. Some people also think 17 is gone and that 17 talking in the preview is him in the stands looking down.

I am actually starting to think that no one will drop out.

That's new, hadn't thought of that. But also very unlikely. The only way I believe 17 is going out next episode is if he somehow saves everyone else.

It'd be neat if the biggest red herring was the actual title.

A theory I have seen about 17 saving everyone is that he traps the bugs in his barrier and drops out the ring.

If U4 cant drop out any U7 fighter then they will be the biggest joke in the ToP.

They look interesting, especially the top one. I'm guessing it's just practice? The one below looks female and I remember Toriyama stating that Kaioshins are gender-less.

The one on the top looks a lot like Zamasu to me. These might be early designs.

Toyotaros Zamasu was very different iirc.

If those Kaioshins are from the erased Universes then well I expect Jiren to win the ToP then wish for all Universes to revive(including the ones Zeno destroyed in the past).

Katopesla needs to somehow make it into the final 10 as U3's last fighter. Outnumbered and outclassed, but still as confident as ever.

Those Kaioshin designs look better than what we have now. Like seriously one of them has a fucking lemon for a head.

I bet he will, I think the point of the character is that he's a survivor
