I called that when they announced the erasure thing. Seems like the most obvious choice.

I'm glad someone posted this before I did.
Hah, true.

That's honestly just a compliation of some of the most common predictions lol. I would be fine with it though.
Not really sure how that is 'complex storytelling'. It's a theory that anyone can come up with.

If it makes you feel better we should get some magazine scoops before then.It's going to be a long two weeks
That's what was done with Trunks' timeline.
The ending of this arc will inevitably be controversial. It doesn't matter what they do. Some people want those characters to stay, but if that happens the whole tournament will end up being pointless.
and unlike the previous break, we get two episodes in one shot.
They just need to keep U6 alive at least, and people will ultimately get over anyone else permanently disappearing ;D
Yep. Plus we should know more about 111-113 before the special airs.
I was smirking the entire episode when Frost was talking some big shit about taking out Gohan.
Also when Jimeze said "this is where you drop out".
I was like Nah fuck that son, you ain't taking out Gohan.
Also Jimeze said that Freeza didn't have a beautiful soul, unlike Gohan.
And him offering to teach Gohan Instant Transmission (and other moves) was hype af.
I now want that to happen badly.
Yeah but it relies on a big twist at the end of an Arc to lead into the next one, something which DB doesn't really do.
I mean, at most maybe the Super Dragonballs get used to bring all the universes back but it wouldn't shock me if those characters are just gone now. They are all pretty one note and disposable anyway, it's kinda the point of the other Universes. The only one they've really fleshed out a surprising degree is U11 so maybe they stay too somehow. Maybe a 3 way tie. Even if Ribrianne's universe survives somehow I don't see her returning except in cameos/other tournaments.
Gohan with IT would be OP as fuck. It seems like everyone in this tournament loves him.
That'd be lame. There's a lot of potential for expansion here.
Fuck no
A Pretty Panda
fuckin' called it, man
It does?
Most of that's actually coming from the people who openly dislike him anyway.
I mean, it's like the third or fourth person in this tournament that's shown him mad respect and he hasn't had many solo fights.

There are far too many characters introduced this arc to use again in any serious way. Trying is how you end up with a mediocre show like bleach.
Bleach's issue wasn't the size of the cast, it was the fact the writer added a new character whenever he got stuck on anything.
No idea how to get Ichigo out of this jam? Instead of coming up with something clever he'd come up with a new character to fix the issue. This led to insane and unmanageable bloat given the scope of the story was centered on a single town. DBS is a universe spanning series, it wouldn't have that issue.
If they want DBS to be a really long running show, something they'll keep around for decades, having a big cast would be way better. Even if they don't all get used right away it creates options for later arcs that don't require creating new characters whole-cloth and ensures the audience cares about the characters in that arc.
EDIT: There's a few characters we've been introduced to that would definitely be worth keeping around long-term and expanding upon. If that's not the whole point of this arc, introducing a bunch of characters and seeing which ones work out the best, then this entire thing is a wasted moment.

And that's why freiza is so good. Shiftiest bastard in the entire series and despite all his chances to turn over a new leaf, he's defiant as Fuck til the end with only himself to look out for which always leads to interesting situations.
Hasn't stopped One Piece.
Not that every single character needs to be seen again, but hopefully it's more than I'm expecting.
That's next episode.

When was the last time we saw Launch, a character whose importance in Dragon Ball is far greater than 90% of the ones Super has introduced, exactly?
If she's so important, then where is she
She's not exactly relevant anymore. Any plot lines she would bring up could be resolved by the main cast in seconds.
Given all these new characters would be on their own worlds, it creates a lot more freedom for the writers and gives them a solid base to work off of.
"Oh we have this great idea but how do we get the cast into this situation? Oh wait! Why don't we use this character from the ToP?"
Or even things like...
"What would happen if Vegeta visited the planet of the U-6 Sayians? If Gohan hung out with the Pride Troopers? If Goku and Hit decided to train together?"
It gives them relevant options to build plot lines out of while giving the audience characters that don't require a lot of set up for us to care about.
This arc could easily be a simple way to make sure they've set themselves up for years to come and cut down on the work required on the writing/character design end.

Oh, I thought they removed the scene or something. Sweet!
uh, maybe he should've because he lost his fight and would've been sent off the ring if not for Frieza.
Great episode. Continues to show Frieza is such a boss in this arc.
Did not expect Frost to be completely erased though. That was definitely out of the blue.
Which brings up the topic of the English dub of Dragonball Super. Hows Chris Ayres health right now? Ever since he was in hospital back in June havent been able to find out more on his condition. Didnt realise his brother voices Frost - they sounded quite similar in execution.

Huh, didn't see that coming. Frost really was an amateur, it's one thing to cheat when you can get away with it, but breaking one of the few rules of the tournament right in front of the Zenos? You're gonna get deleted. So he did.
I can't say I'll miss Frost. He was just a lesser Frieza and we've got Frieza Classic in the show again. Much better.

Could work. There's like only 30-ish planets left in U7. Likely due to beerus simply destroying without any real purpose and frieza and his predecessors being allowed to do as he willed because beerus was always asleep 99% of the time not doing his job.

Watching the episode again I noticed that Ribrianne speaks in Italian too! Haha didn't expect that
This happening gives me the feeling it will happen again to a different universe.
Out of all of U7, my guess is Vegeta.
