New 'Dragon Ball' Theory May Predict The Tournament Of Power's Results
Dragon Ball Super just saw the Tournament of Power reach its midway point, and fans are more [...]
How It Could Happen
The Tournament of Power may have been concocted by Goku, but its consequences were set in stone long before the Saiyan pitched the idea. According to Zeno, the god was preparing to annihilate all of his multiverse's lower ranking sections. Eight of the twelve universes were being eyed for destruction, but Goku unknowingly convinced Zeno to give each threatened universe a chance to prove their worth by battle. Whichever universe wins the Tournament of Power will be allowed to live on while the others get destroyed, but fans cannot imagine Goku going along with such an idea.
Since this is Dragon Ball, fans have little doubt that Universe 7 won't ultimately win the event. Fans can see Goku trying to wish all his competitors back with the Super Dragon Balls, but Zeno may nix the notion since it violates his original plans. In a moment to dumb-lucky, Goku could easily ask for the eight universes to be merged together as a loophole, and Zeno's childish nature would be so thrilled by the suggestion that he approves.
What Could Go Down
If Dragon Ball Super combines its universes, then fans can expect for Goku to get a lot more busy. Freeza emptied plenty of Universe 7 during his Dragon Ball Z days of villainy, so there is lots of room to accommodate the other universes' worlds. Plus, all of the extra worlds and characters would rejuvenate Dragon Ball Super and its story options.
With Universe 6 joining Universe 7, fans could finally get another Saiyan arc. Planet Sadala would be brought into the mix, and the Saiyan's home-world would allow Goku and Vegeta to truly immerse themselves in Saiyan culture. Gohan, Goten, and Trunks would likely amaze the world for being half-humans, but fans can only imagine the battles such a clash would bring.
Dragon Ball Super has made the Tournament of Power feel so big that permanent repercussions are needed. Fans would revolt if characters from Universe 6 and even Universe 11 were truly eliminated, so the event will have to compensate. If the Tournament of Power winds up merging all the universes together with the event's winner leading the charge, then the show will set itself up for plenty of sagas to come. So, here is to hoping this fan-theory proves to have some weight to it.
