Dragon Ball Super General (WARNING: Massive spoilers inside)

Heh, that's actually funny. They get so advanced they can hold interuniversal blood sports and enter realities never dreamed of by even Zeno. I think I can hear Zamasu's rage breaking from here.

LOL, Popo tells him that above the mountain there's another mountain, and Goku says that Popo is right and he feels ashamed in the polish manga

...Wow.

Wow.

But seriously, this is a stupid idea by Xeno. Only one universe survives = no more tournaments in the future = only one universe to make interesting people. Back in the days of Dragon Ball/DBZ I thought the Dragon Ball universe would be a fun place to live, but with every new saga of Super I think to myself "Eh...I'm good."

It's sort of a butterfly effect. No Goku, no Beerus awakening and coming to Earth. U6/U7 tournament doesn't happen (or ends in complete curbstomp by U6), so Zeno never comes and arranges a multiverse tournament where every universe but the winner's gets destroyed. Goku may be indirectly responsible for the deaths of quadrillions of innocent sapient lifeforms.

Normally I'd say Toriyama/Toei won't go through with it and will have Zeno change his mind, but I dunno...Black saga ended with the annihilation of an entire timeline, so maybe Toriyama's so absent-minded he doesn't understand the implications of entire universes getting destroyed and just thinks it's funny.

I hope we see U6 get some good fights. I'm predicting that Hit will want to fight Goku again in the tournament, but before that happens he'll be a Sacrificial Lion who loses to some U3 contestant or something who's the new threat of the tournament.  

EDIT:

No, seriously. If it's just Goku and Vegeta again I'll be very disappointed. Get Buu in there.

I know I'm going to be in minority here, but why don't they add Goten and Trunks? They are pretty powerful on their own and as Gotenks they are a force to be reckoned with. I don't really get this whole benching Trunks and Goten and keeping them kids. DB frankly started when Goku was a kid and had no problem having Gohan repeat that process. Growing up and becoming older was one of the stables of the series.

Anyway, I agree that Buu should be allowed to compete this time. Disqualifying him from the last tournament was stupid. Considering both manga and anime had it Toriyama no doubt thought that up because he thought it was funny and a good way to start Team 7 with a disadvantage. That was a waste to me, since Buu hasn't done much since turning good beyond hanging out with Satan/Hercule. 18 and 17 coming to compete is a welcomed surprise. Has 17 appeared before in Super to spend time with Krillin, 18, and Maron?

It is cool to think that after all this time the last villains to join the heroes are finally going to fight as Z-fighters. It looks Gohan is competing, so maybe it won't just be Goku and Vegeta carrying everyone. I don't want to get my hopes up either. This arc could be really good or another major disappointment. The whole only one universe survives aspect gives the tournament more stakes and reminds of Yu Yu Hakusho's Dark Tournament where the heroes had to compete or all their loved ones would be killed, but I have a hard time buying this series will go through with it. Zeno destroying all the universe for the sake of a game would put him in the same league as Freeza, Cell, and evil Majin Buu. I have a hard time believing even Toriyama would make the highest deity such a jerkass that he would killing trillions of trillions of lives for shits giggles then expect us to see him as a good guy by virtue of him being a god.

Since I don't understand the Japanese in Azoth's video and haven't looked this up...Goten, Trunks, Gohan, 18, and 17 are all participating? Wow, that's awesome! Of course I'll be rooting for my man Gohan to get a chance to shine, though all signs point otherwise. U7 can royally cheat by having all the Saiyans undergo the God ceremony. Having five Super Saiyan Blues will really help make them viable, though Toriyama/Toei likely won't think of this and will have everyone but Goku and Vegeta scrub out in the first round.

(Lol, I don't sound bitter at all, do I?)

I always felt red-haired form should be Saiyan God, and blue-haired form should be Super Saiyan God. Red-haired form doesn't have anything Super Saiyan-y to me; it's just a base form with god ki added. So yeah, God Saiyan and God Super Saiyan.

The U7 team:

Yeah, Goten and Trunks not being there is weird. They might've decided that Gotenks wasn't worth the effort? I dunno, but Roshi replacing Yamcha I could see happening. He wasn't considered important/strong enough to be invited to go fight Frieza's army of minions, but even Roshi showed up and opened up a can of ass-whoopin', so it was already kind of foreshadowed.

As for my own thoughts on the roster:

1. Goku/Vegeta/Piccolo were the obvious ones.

2. Given the new stakes imposed by Zen-Oh, Gohan has no excuse at last. At least he's been kinda training to prepare.

3. As @thatguy said, Buu could very well be one of the most dangerous opponents in the tournament. Assuming his opponents aren't, say, Vegito-level, his candy beam will be a devastating weapon. Absorbing people could also make him all the more dangerous as well.

4. 17/18 was unexpected, but will give us a good gauge for Android Saga enemies. Piccolo as well truth be told.

5. Tien/Krillin/Roshi is just getting some of the old gang back together. No complaints aside from wondering how useful they'll be.

Truth be told I was kinda hoping Beerus would start pulling crazy stunts (given the stakes) like bringing Frieza back and forcibly drafting him onto the team. Can you imagine if he started pulling talent from Other World? His team could be so hype.
