I know she's rich but is she really like, 80 billion rich? What's a zenny worth? Has it even been established just how rich she is?

Also, if she's the sponsor I really want to see the entire team wearing Capsule CorpŠ outfits.

Her family owns the patent on technology that lets you shrink your car/house/boat/plane into a pocket sized capsule. This is assuming she doesn't sell any of the other stuff she has, you know like artificial gravity, FTL space ships, sentient AI, time travel, etc.

I'm pretty sure she has infinite money. And if she doesn't Piccolo can just use his powers to create a pile of gold/money/whatever out of nothing.

Yeah in the grand scheme of things it's his returning only to get dunked on by Trunks that didn't serve any purpose. It easily could've just been King Cold coming to Earth for revenge and getting bodied by Trunks, and then Freeza doesn't return until the movie.

Of course, Trunks vs. Freeza is one of the coolest scenes in Dragonball and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

A zenni is roughly equivalent to the yen. So a penny, basically. 10 million zenni is 100,000 dollars.

Well, I guess there is one wish but who gets it? "I wish for everyone to get what they wanted from this tournament." means no saving the other universes so obviously Goku will have to do that by either punching Zeno or the power of friendship.

Goku could promise the fighters from all the other universes that they will be brought back. Then the wish could be "Fulfill all the promises I made to win this tournament!".

Could even toss a "I'm gonna kill you last" at the high priest while he's at it.

In general though, I feel like calling an arc pointless in Super is missing the point. The show feels way more like it was made as a celebration of the series, and less like it's furthering the lore (though it has done a lot of that). That's why we got an arc of Frieza returning, then Future Trunks (with Vegito out of nowhere even), and now they've spent the last ten episodes focusing entirely on the old cast. We're meant to be more excited about our old friends getting to return (and actually do stuff) then wondering how the events fit into some large narrative.

Just, for me personally, I think if an arc can be removed and no one notice, that's indicative of a pointless arc. Resurrection F is actually worse about this. Every other arc in DB either has lasting new characters, lasting new forms, or at least directly leads into the next one (Pilaf's arc is DB's introductory arc, and he later released King Piccolo anyway, for example).

I don't think having an arc without influence makes it bad, but it makes it less memorable, and I certainly don't like it. And, I'm really down on the arc anyway for having a bad ending.

IIRC they're the ones that have to take Piccolo's body to the lookout after he's killed in the battle.

Goku instant transmission'd Piccolo's body to the lookout. Then he told Goten and Trunks to fly there and explain to Dende why a corpse just got dumped on his porch.

Goku loves using IT to ding dong ditch gods.

I'm sure this is just pointless speculation/wishing on my part, but considering Gohan's clearly getting some new "Ultimate" form which is different from Super Saiyan, and the biggest thing that separates him from the other Saiyans is how he powers up without changing hair colour, what if he's going for a canon counterpart to Super Saiyan 4? Normally I'd think "yeah sure", but this arc has a canon Legendary Super Saiyan in it, we came from an arc with canon Turles (though far better) as the main antagonist, and we had a subtle and hilarious jab at Baby Vegeta. Whether it's Toriyama, Toyotaro, Toei or Towhatever, clearly someone here has a taste for non-canon material. It might be Toyotaro, considering one of the Gods of Destruction he made (specifically, the robot) is directly based on GT's Luud, also called a God of Destruction himself, and he clearly liked GT to some extent considering his previous fan comic.

Admittedly, this is mostly because I liked SS4 far more than the canon forms we got afterwards, but man, it'd be cool. Gohan is finally as strong as he should be (although I'm not sure if I like how intense he suddenly is, I miss dorkdad/the GREAT SAIYAMAN, I hope we haven't lost that), give him a cool-looking form too. Or just keep his current Ultimate form but make the bang more prominent, it really helps him look far better.
