‪Crazy theory of mine so don’t take it too seriously. Zeno decides to impose a guessing game to the non participating universes to which of the two universe will prevail in the end. If the one with the right guess wins, they will be spared. The losers be damned. ‬

If time runs out and both Goku and Jiren are still fighting I can see each Zeno picking a side and using rock paper scissors to decide who wins.

Anyone knows when is the new Original Sound Track set that contains the Ultra Instinct themes is going to be released?

Dear god that Goku and Jiren image looks terrible. And even worse, they thought that would be a good image to use for a promo? I pray that gets fixed before the episode airs.

That said, I do expect him to get a bit more shine against U11 before this arc is over. He's probably going to either help Freeza eliminate Dyspo or he's going to save Freeza from Dyspo and eliminate Dyspo himself. That's not even getting into what he could possibly do after that.
Yeah, I'm pretty confused by peoples dissapointment. He's had a lot of screen time , character development, and wins this arc. I just don't know what people would consider good enough . Defeating Jiren ?
If Gohan isn't stoically standing there, staring down enemies, and then proceeding to one shot gut punch them, people won't be satisfied. God forbid he actually struggles and wins through attrition and has an actual...you know...FIGHT.

It would be interesting to see how an official tie where both parties are somehow eliminated at the same time is interpreted under the current stakes of the tournament. Do both universes get to stay alive? Will they each take turns using the Dragon Balls? Or could everyone be erased since an official winner would never have been declared and the greater authorities just decide to return back to the original plan of erasing all of them? It sounds like one of the most unexpected and original endings that this arc could have, in my opinion.
That will anger so many people. We have spend nearly 1 year watching this only to end with a tie?!
Lol this is my exact reaction whenever people say this. Same thing with the people that want the tournament to get interrupted. What the hell?! Why would I sit through a YEAR of this nonsense only for it to end in some anti-climactic tie, or even worse, not finish? Leave the disappointing competitions to real life please. This tournament needs to end with a definitive winner, or I'm gonna reach max butthurt levels.

Gohan has had fantastic scenes in this arc, but he does indeed lack that one defining moment. Botamo was just the start, his fight with Obuni was him finding his groove, Saonel and Pirina were there more for Piccolo and their bond, Aniraza was about team work. Honestly, the only really bad performance he gave this arc was in 106, and that seems to have been so that it could be tied better with 118.

They both look stupid as hell to be honest. Really poor drawing, frankly. Hopefully it gets fixed by the time the episode airs. It looks so bad I thought it was fake at first.

Yea, he hasn't had his big "Cell" moment, but frankly I don't even care, I'm just happy he's even relevant again. Hell, he's in the FINAL 8. If you were to tell me a year ago that Gohan would be in the final 8 of an 80 person battle royale featuring the strongest warriors in the multiverse, I would've laughed you out of the room.

And I honestly think he's gonna have at least one big moment coming up (I also personally feel like the "twist" ending will be him winning the whole thing). But even if neither of those two things happen, I'm just be happy the boi is back in form. He's out there trading blows with guys side by side with SSB Goku and Vegeta. I'll take it.

It could very well end up becoming true. If there is one character I could see winning instead of Goku, it's Gohan. I'm a little surprised at the sheer vehemence against this idea. Sure, he's not been perfect this tournament, but who has? There is not one character that hasn't needed to be saved or needed a hand at some point (Freeza doesn't count, he just started doing stuff) and while it's obvious he is a bit on the inexperienced side compared to the true veterans, he has been fighting galatic level threats since he's been freakin' five, so he deserves his spot in U7's top 5.

I know this is probably unlikely but could that Jiren picture be him using some buff form like Roshi instead of a bad drawing ?

Jiren looks like he ate too many twinkies and he's angry at Goku because he stole some from him.

The other images look good though. Wonder why Arack and Campari (or Korn) is sitting with Universe 7.

EDIT: That is definitely Campari. Korn's clothes are brown while Campari's are orange. The angel in the image has orange clothes.

Most Gohan fans(not all but stil) are really greedy,the kind you give an apple to and then they want all the apples you have,same here its not enough that Gohan does something,they will not be satisfied unless he takes it all.

This kind of greediness is what blinds them as well,in dbz outside of defeating Cell Gohan did not do much that sets him aside from the other supporting characters,in fact if we take away his Cell feat then you arrive at the conclusion that:
Gohan has been a stronger Krillin as far as the Freeza and Buu saga is concerned in terms of role and 5/6 of the Cell saga as well.

Gohan's fans cannot let go out of his best accomplishement and are still stuck on it,they cannot move on which is why they are not satisfied with what Gohan has gotten so far in this arc,when in reality 9/10 times he was mostly supporting/secondary role(that includes dbz as well).

Was already hyped for the episode but I'm even more hyped now and can't wait for it to come out.
What do you mean “Fish-looking” God? That’s the U12 GoD who resembles a fish. This is Arack, Universe 5 GoD.
I'm a goof I got my gods of destruction confused there thanks for correcting me.

That makes sense, a lot actually, no other reason Universe 7 particularly needs to house them, it's not like the gods to come for a little chit chat either..

All the cool kids are coming to U7's party. Maybe they have punch and pie? :lol:

It would be funny if everyone sitting together gave someone the idea to join all the Universes. "Well, you're already together, so....SQUISH!"
