My theory about the new arc

[Lujin_16]

Hit kills Goku in Episode 72 but it will be not a normal kill his attack was so strong that the normal Dragonball's can not bring him back to life so they
must go and find the Super Dragonball's to revive him and of course a investigation why they killed him and learning more about Hit and universe 6..
So this will be the new arc in my opinion..

[Ki Breaker]

There is nothing stating the power of attack which caused the death matters while bringing someone back to life

[namekiansaiyan]

The best idea is that the person who hired Hit also knows about the dragon balls and steals then from both Namek and Earth so Goku cannot be revived.

[FortuneSSJ]

As the strongest hitman, Hit should have a technique that completely erases one's soul and it stays lost forever, avoiding that character to be revived.
There's no way they would use something like that on Goku though.

The point is, even with the Dragon Balls there's still ways to raise the stakes on the main timeline with other character's deaths. They just need to be creative.

I'm quoting you.
There's a chance Goku get killed in another Universe, so out of range from our set of spheres?

In most circumstances the prospect of death in this series offers no tension or gravity. so I'm not even thinking that deeply about it. I'm just gonna watch it and go with the flow

Tell that to future gohan, Android 16, future bulma, freeza, cell, and an entire timeline

Yeah I'm thinking he may have a technique that essentially "kills" him but doesn't physically "kill" him so there's nothing to revive with the DB's. They have to go on a quest to find a way to revive him from this crazy comatose-type state.

You guys are giving hit too much credit, he just hit's your physical body..
He didn't even know the concept of coming back to life after you die, if he knew of a soul stealing attack he would atleast have some vague idea..
And besides that too op
