Sorry to undo the effort of paying a domestic abuser $10 to own this poster, but I am going to lose my dang mind if I keep seeing multiple posters who appear to be Baloogan.

In-fiction he has incentive to do that. Going overboard with Kaio-Ken fucks up his body royally, enough that he probably gets a pretty sizeable Zenkai from it.

Not that that was likely taken into consideration for this.

One of the good things from the Super manga is it explicitly has Trunks pointing out that the Saiyans no longer benefit from Zenkai, and that Zamasu only does so due to the weird intermingling of Zamasu with Goku's body.

I'll remind you that I have a very large stick.
That fight was pretty cool and got to show off Goku's battle smarts again.

I like how they're greying the morality a bit. Goku wasn't allowed to hold back at the cost of ALL universes being destroyed, but he also was completely fine with being declared a "villain" because of it because it means the best of the universes will be out to get HIM. There's not much he CAN do about what Zeno asked of him, but he's more than a little eager because of its implications.

Toppo is great, too. ALLY OF GOOD, NIGHTMARE TO GOKU.

I love that Goku's reaction to being declared the enemy of all universes is basically "Sure, whatever." It just means everyone will be sending their best against him, so he just rolls with it.

Prediction: Zeno has no intention of destroying any universe, he's just trying to give his cool friend Goku good fights.

From how he has been in this arc he's just us/the audience(or at least his reactions have been mirroring mine) he just wants to see cool fights, but make sure Goku gets the best because he's the coolest.

The impression I got was that flight's fine as long as your over the ring, but out of bounds is out of bounds, so you're going down like a brick as soon as you're past that line.

Seeing as Toppo is supposed to be the top dog of his universe and yet in the opening we see Alien dude fighting Goku I'm starting to wonder whether

Goku gets carried away and accidentally ends up killing Toppo in their upcoming fight setting up Alien in a vendetta against Goku

or whether Toppo will purposedly Obi Wan it

I wonder what happens in the event there's a tie? It seems likely after the time limit expires we could have multiple universes tied for first, which would probably be a good way to make sure universe 6 stays around

On the other hand, now that the Tournament has been confirmed as a battle royale they will have a hard time to justify why they didn't bring Goten and Trunks and just have them fuse into Gotenks outside of "Chichi bitched about it".

After all the match just lasts 48 minutes, so as long as they don't go SSJ3 they can just stall and take down the smaller fry separatedly for the first minutes, then fuse and be more useful than frigging Roshi and Tenshinhan.

Tien's duplicate skill that's different than the normal afterimage would actually be pretty useful in this fight. Also, a pair of preteens aren't likely to do well at situational awareness and strategic thinking, which The Great Outdoor Tournament seems likely to lean hard on.

Maybe? He doesn't seem to care one way or another. The younger one probably also knew Goku was going to win that fight, so promising whatever to Bergamo wasn't really a risk.

Prediction - the other Universes decide to knock U7 out of the ring, then try to end up with the same numbers of each of them still in. Somehow Krillin gets missed, an eight way tie is declared, Krillin saves the universe.

How angry is Vegeta going to be that he gets invited to what is almost certainly the best fight to ever happen, but he gets stuck on a team with Roshi, Krillin, and the Triclops?

No I'm pretty sure that's just because it's a tactics focused tournament and Gohan's smart

Like this episode makes it pretty clear. Power is secondary to just being able to get your opponent out of the ring.

"Goku is the villain" is fun and all, but Zeno's the one who decided to make the tournament about erasing universes, since he's erasing universes already, Goku can't really defy him by softballing vs Bergamo, either. If he lost without going at least as far as he did vs Hit, it's not like Zeno wouldn't notice. And then what?

Sure, proclaiming "If I'm the villain, so what, come at me bro" probably isn't the best way to go, but it is the hand Zeno (or the high priest) started to deal him, and the role Bergamo hung on him.

Also:

At first, yeah, but saiyans are dumb punch monkeys all the way down. It's their blessing and their curse. Even Gohan was getting hype during the exhibition match, and was under no illusion Goku was going to do anything other than wreck Bergamo.

I'm begining to wonder if the earlier theory that this is a plan by the HP to destroy U7/Goku and Vegeta/take over the universe is actually true. SSB actually shocked all the gods present, so the idea that mortals could tap into god power seems to be super-duper rare or unique to U7 sayains, and could be a threat somehow. And U6 has a planet full of sayains left (possibly with many of them "pure hearted" or whatever it was to participate in the ritual that powered up Goku in the first place.

Man, I think maybe Beerus hosed up on a cosmic level here. Or Whis is in on it with his dad, and helped push all this into happening? Or this is Dragonball, I'm smelling my own theoretical farts, and the answer will be "training, punching, and friendship win every time".

Sandbag the beam struggle. Zeno was already aware SSJBKKx10 hosed up Goku's body. Already knew Goku was the type to take his time with his opponents. Play around in SSJBKKx10 for a while, sandbag the beam struggle, then cramp up and lose.
