Super's finale has to connect to EoZ. I don't want a cliffhanger nor I want it to end without implying EoZ comes immediately afterwards. I'm quite tired of Dragon Ball being tied down to it, the ToP would have been way better had it taken place after EoZ in my opinion, so I really want Super to leave some loose ends, like Freeza getting revived, U6 being brought back, some foreshadowing of a possible Goku vs Beerus rematch etc... Just connect 131 to EoZ, please.

I bet we'll see Goku either wearing or obtaining the blue gi from EoZ by the very tail end of the episode.

I saw many talking on social media that Super is ending with the most cliché way (Goku winning and everyone fine), but we don't know that yet... But, yes I would like to see Goku defeating Jiren and winning the ToP.

When was the last time Goku got a decent main win? (RoF Freeza and Copy Vegeta were lame)

I can say I would be pretty pissed if after all that build the final match ends in draw or worse... Goku losing.

The last major foe he defeated with his own power was Frieza on Namek. I see Buu as a team effort. There was also Hirudegarn if you want to count the movies.

I definitely see it now, with the title “miraculous”, it’s going to be a draw with goku and jiren, and freeza is being there will “miraculously” save universe 7.

I get the feeling there are gonna be a good amount of people that will be disappointed with how Super ends.

I hate that attitude, the fans who complain about how Goku always gets the win. A) He really doesn't outside of spin-offs and filler, he hasn't had a clear win over the main threat since Buu, or Freeza if you count the Spirit Bomb as a team thing and B) every arc in Super so far has tried to go for the "twist" ending where the good guys fail and have to be bailed out by the gods, and they've nearly all been worse off for it. I argue now more than ever, it would be appropriate to give us that oh-so conventional ending where Goku beats Jiren, wishes everything back and they all go home for tea. It's not like the other characters didn't get plenty of shine in the Tournament, most got more than they've had in the last two decades.

The fact that Freeza is still in tells me, he's either going to be part of a gag (maybeo one realizes that he got sent back to Hell, because he used up too much energy) or will play a part in deciding the Tournament.

I don't think UI Goku will get a clean win over Jiren and that will be it. Why keep Freeza around if it's going to just be a Goku win.

If this is real then Jiren vs Goku will end in episode 131 imo, a rushed finale.....

This really doesn't tell us anything, aside from the battle is continuing

The minute, 30s is annoying if true though.

Maybe everyone forgets Freeza is there and he gets stuck in the World of Void.

Okay, that would be hilarious.

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.

It'd also potentially set up future plots with him. We know he just has a day to "live" so wouldn't he be sent back to hell regardless of where he is once that day is up ?
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

What are you even on about? the closest to "pop culture" UI has gotten is the meme.
What am I on about? Thats rude. Read my entire post and that's something you won't need to ask.

Yes it's pop culture. Maybe get outside your own personal bubble? Very rarely do viral videos even reach a massive number like 20 million views. If you take all the popular videos on MUI Goku and add the views it's an astronomical number. It even being a meme is proof enough of what I said.

Why argue with me? So you agree with the other poster who said that Super will be forgotten instantly when it ends? You dont think Super introduced many things to the table that will become iconic?

^on that note, Super is now ingrained in collective consciousness, and will not cease to exist at the end of March.

Just like GT didn't disappear 20 years ago when it ended, despite if people hated it or not.

An entire minute and a half remain in the tournament? I wasn't expecting that. If I'm not mistaken, that means episode 129 only took thirty seconds, correct? In that case, I can't see episode 130 taking any more than thirty seconds either, since Gokū and Jiren will be going all-out, likely fighting at speeds we've never seen before unless SSJ4 Gogeta was at that level back in the day. Continuing that passage of time into episode 131 would leave thirty seconds left in the tournament at the end of the series, so there's bound to be a change in pace somewhere along the way. I'm having a hard time seeing any time remaining for the aftermath and conclusion now. I'm excited to see how the timing will be handled.

Since Freeza is going to have twenty-three hours left alive I hope we just keep getting more arcs all set on this very same day for years.

Whilst I appreciate your HOPE!!, I honestly think Frieza will be sent back to his flower garden due to physical exhaustion ala Goku and Super Saiyan 3
