Who will be eliminated next on U7?

Post by Hakaishin Liquir » Sun Oct 29, 2017 6:28 pm

In my opinion, the two most likely contenders on U7 are Piccolo and Android 18, but as of now I'm leaning more towards 18 mainly because she should be weaker than Piccolo (unless the writers give her a random power boost, which wouldn't surprise me) and she has already gotten more spotlight than Piccolo. I also think that the next member will get eliminated in episode 116.

[spoiler]The last time someone on U7 got eliminated was in episode 107, and based on the summaries of 114 and 115, no U7 member will get eliminated in those episodes, so by the time that episode 116 airs, it will have been 8 episodes since the last member got eliminated, which is more than enough of a gap in my opinion.[/spoiler]

I expect that Android 18 will eventually get eliminated by someone from U3 given that there will most likely be some interaction between the androids and U3 for obvious reasons, and she will probably eliminate someone else, presumably from U3, before she goes out. Then I expect Piccolo to either get eliminated by Saoneru after he eliminates Pirina, or he could get eliminated by a fusion between the two U6 Namekians and not get anymore eliminations before he goes out, which would be disappointing for us Piccolo fans.

There's a chance 18 gets out next, but it annoys me a little when people say she will go out next just because she's the weakest one on the team right now. Krillin was the first person to get eliminated, yet Roshi, a character who's weaker than him outperformed him, and not just a little. Hit also got eliminated before Cabba. Nigrishi, the strongest modified warrior was the first U3 member to go out.

As for I think will go next, I also expect either Piccolo or 18, but who knows, maybe they won't be. Afterall, Hit got eliminated before the likes of Cabba and the 2 namekians, and Hit got a lot more promotion than those 3.

Remember that 18 has also gotten more spotlight than Piccolo, so it would be weird if Piccolo went out first. Also, Nigrisshi isn't stronger than the robots of U3. He got one shot by base Cabba while Panchia, Koitsukai, and Borareta can give base Goku and Gohan some trouble.

I think all remaining Universe 7 members will make it to the last battle against Jiren and they will gradually get knocked out trying to help Goku beat Jiren. Frieza will be the last one standing in the tournament.

#18 seems like the glaringly obvious choice for this question. Others already mentioned it but she's received a considerable amount of screen time that might rival what Roshi received. I feel as though her positioning as a contributing member has been cemented. Right now we don't know how Piccolo's battle with the two Namekians will pan out, and he's also having to share it with Gohan. Goku is permitted to fight the two most distinctive Saiyans of Universe 6 this tournament on his own in two different occasions in a multi-episode long script filled with choreography, ideas, and techniques that you can tell had a higher budget. You can contrast that with Piccolo who has barely received a minute's worth of shared combat time with Gohan against the only other Namekians in this tournament. Does it really sound just to have Piccolo eliminated so hastily considering these circumstances?

If i am being honest,18 has the least to offer and she has gotten more than enough screentime and eliminations.
After all Krillin is already out and 17 can function on his own(and did already)so no more reason for her to be there.
Just like from the beggining i thought most of the U7 is gonna survive till Jirren goes Nappa on them,so if anyone it would make the most sense for her to be next.

Agreed with the general conscious. Most likely #18, I don't see much else she can bring to the table besides defeating more fodder. It would have been nice and unexpected to have one of the humans last toward the climax but they ended up being the first ones eliminated :cry:

My guess is Piccolo, 18, or 17. I don't see any of the others going next on the team.

I'd say #18 as well, but I have a strange feeling #18 and #17 will be going out together.

Piccolo hasn't done anything yet but his fight with the Namekians (that's already taking place) could be his last.

I'll be that guy and say Vegeta, as he's currently fighting Toppo...

I want to say Vegeta, since if he beats Toppo there's nowhere left for him to go and he's already had a good run. Like, Toppo actually needs that win more, which is not something I would've thought prior to the Tournament starting.

Universe 7 is doing far too well and besides Jiren going full Nappa on them, there just aren't many characters left that could turn the tide. You know what I think the problem is? Every fight involving Universe 7 has to be fanservice and they're afraid to have someone simply beat a Universe 7 fighter in a straight match. Krillin and Tien went to sneak attacks, Roshi got a full on graceful retirement and all three of them took someone with them when they went out. In fact, even if you extend the hero banner to include the more prominent Universe 6 characters (since lets be honest, they pretty much are the deuteragonists of the arc) then the only episode that has ended with a straight up defeat, no take-backs for the good guys is Hit vs Jiren. That's just not good enough. I want there to be setbacks, tension and drama. Universe 7's constant winning streak is getting in the way of that.

So whoever goes next from Universe 7, I have three conditions. One, they lose in a fair fight meaning no sneak-attack cop-outs like with Krillin and Tien. I'll let it slide if it's the bugs, since sneak-attacks are most likely what they're all about. The last thing I want is for Vegeta to defeat Toppo and then Ribrianne runs up behind him and shoves him off. That makes nobody look good, but the end result is Universe 7 can claim the high ground.

Two, they don't take someone with them when they go. This doesn't have to be a literal mutual knockout like Tien did, but just that something happens that helps them save face. For example, "it's okay" that Frost took out Krillin because he knocked out two people immediately prior to it happening. "It's okay" that Cabba lost to Freeza because he was tired from eliminating Monna (and yes, Freeza is on Universe 7, but Cabba was still the protagonist of that episode). "It's okay" that Roshi retired because he saved Vegeta and contributed to the defeat of Magetta in the same action. Universe 7 is too far ahead, have some losses that actually negatively impact them without caveats please.

Third, don't have them lose a fight that was over before it started. In other words, don't have it be to Jiren. He's really the only one this applies to at this point. A loss isn't meaningful if they go out to the strongest man in the room.

It's a toss up between Android 18 or Piccolo.

It´s beetween #18 or Piccolo.

#17 and Gohan are teased to have a huge paper in their returns, something we yet have to see.

Goku, Vegeta and Freeza are even teased to be the the possible winners of the Tournament (Goku being the only one who can beat Jiren, Vegeta wanting to win and wish for U6 revival and Freeza´s wish)

On the other hand, #18 already got a lot of showing, Piccolo is being treated really bad on Super, it wouldn´t surprise me if they keep going that way

It's a tossup between 18 and Piccolo, though I'm leaning towards 18. I don't think it'll happen for a while yet, though.

My question would be "when". Long time has passed since the last one who got eliminated, and even more since the last Universe was erased. It's high time for another loss, anyone and any Universe (except Universe 6).

Piccolo's arm.
"Dragon Ball once became a thing of the past to me, but after that, I got angry about the live action movie, re-wrote an entire movie script, and now I'm complaining about the quality of the new TV anime. It seems Dragon Ball has grown on me so much that I can't leave it alone." - Akira Toriyama on Dragon Ball Super

No clue but I don’t want anyone to go. If this arc goes until March then that means that character won’t be useful for months.

Let the rest of the Universe 7 characters stay for as long as possible.
