I dunno, I feel if there was any point to the Future Trunks arc it's there's no backsies to Zeno just erasing universes.

Except traveling back in time I guess so it's up to Bulma to save the day again.

Finally, the arc we've been waiting for. Goku vs. Goku.

this is dragon ball, idk what you're expecting when someone dies here

unless they're from future trunks' universe or a bad guy, they'll be fine. even bad guys are up in the air; freeza's come back after everyone thought they were done with him like 3 times now

I wonder if the Future Zen-oh messing up his hand is causing everyone to get teleported, instead of erased. If they both raise their right hand, erasure, but with Future Zen-oh raising his left hand it causes the universe to get moved somewhere. Whis might not be lying when he said that U9 is definitely gone, but that's because it isn't where it used to be? Immediate erasure is still cool as hell.

Wasn't it said in an earlier ep that transforming back and forth between SSB wastes a ton of energy or something? (it's why Vegeta lost to Hit instantly)

They keep making a big deal about how being erased means there's not even enough left of you to go the afterlife, it does kinda feel like something explicitly written to avoid the whole "death means nothing" pitfall of Dragon Ball. Of course this being Dragon Ball maybe Super Shenron can undo even that but they definitely want us to believe erasure is pretty final.

That's how the manga handled it, in the anime I guess the idea is that it's just maintaining SSB that drains energy quickly.

That is manga only. In the anime it just drains stamina. And using it for short bursts in the early stages seems to have no ill effect.

SSB in the Manga is 'you get really strong right when you use it for like 5 seconds, then you drop down to a level that is just 'generally strong', which is super draining on your stamina and energy'.

Vegeta's bullshit is 'I constantly transform into SSB for an instant, which gives me the instant burst of power, then I turn it off before it starts draining me' or something like that.

SSB in the anime is just 'this form is tiring to maintain for long periods of time' which is pretty reasonable all things considered.

They couldn't go SSB anymore in the Zamasu arc right before Rage Trunks and then again after Fusion Zamasu because of too much usage probably

I want to see the Pride Troopers react to Freeza. They despise evil but Freeza is the most evil being there is. I bet Goku will try to pick a fight with Toppo and Toppo will be like "No, I have bigger fish to fry" and attack Freeza. Freeza of course will beat him, prompting Jiren to step in. Goku, Vegeta, and Freeza team up against Jiren.

Youtube comment sections right now are full of people commenting "Look guys I have an interesting theory I think that the angels might be planning to overthrow Zen'o cause the U9 angel was smiling when U9 got deleted and Daishinkan was smiling too, I think they are plotting something. This is my theory, do not steal".



I wonder how they will react when the Tournament ends and it turns out it was just a Tournament.

This is Dragonball, that roughly accounts for pretty much half of the characters. Two more isn't going to mean poo poo.

I always wondered, how does Chi Chi deal with raising a kid with the power to disintegrate the Earth if he has a temper tantrum? She must have Piccolo on speed dial for emergencies or something.

Her husband is even stronger (most of the time) and she can keep him in-line too. Chi-chi does not give a gently caress about power levels.

just waiting for the tournament to end and everyone's like "well goku i guess you fought all the strong dudes" and goku's like "aaaw..." and super dejected and then suddenly Zen-Os from other time lines appear and are like "dude that was awesome let's have a full on alternate timeline multiversal tournament of power" and everyone is like "NOOOOOOO" except for goku who has full on lost all control of his bodily functions in joy and is just foaming at the mouth on the floor

The Multiverse is the collective term for all twelve universes, the Oververse is for all those areas outside that, like Zen's palace, the World of Void (where the tournament is being held) and etc.

I actually haven't done much of anything with the other universes besides noting that they exist, probably because they're so loosely defined right now that there really isn't much to say. "Universe 9 is full of animal-people and is apparently a trash pile."
