There are only 15 minutes left in the Dragon Ball Super Tournament of Power after tonight’s episode that showcased the ultimate defeat of the two powerful warriors from Universe 2. Rozie and Ribrianne were taken down by Android 17 and Android 18, despite the latter’s ankle injury. Universe 7 rejoiced following the Androids’ victory, but it seems that their home is in imminent danger. Will they be able to protect it from destruction?
Dragon Ball fans are used to seeing their favorite fighters go it alone, but not everyone has to battle like Vegeta. The Saiyan may not like to tag team, but other Z-Fighters do not mind partnering up when need be. So, fans shouldn’t be too surprised to hear Piccolo and Gohan will be teaming up soon.
Recently, Weekly Shonen Jump released its latest issue, and the magazine housed a synopsis for an upcoming episode of Dragon Ball Super. Translator @Herms98 turned the description around for English-speaking fans, so you can check out the synopsis of episode 118 below:
“Gohan and Piccolo's tough fight?! Gohan and Piccolo struggle against the desperate attacks of Universe 6's final warriors, Saonel and Pirina! Piccolo therefore suggests a method of attack their opponents won't expect.”
Of course, fans have simply been waiting for the Piccolo and Gohan team to resurface. The pair have a lengthy history with one another, and Piccolo is no stranger to fighting with Gohan. The fandom jokes that the Namekians knows Gohan’s style better than Goku ever could, but there may be truth to the statement. After all, the duo did train together before the Tournament of Power even got underway.
If audiences are surprised by anything, it is that Gohan and Piccolo will apparently have a tough battle with the Universe 6 Namekians. Saonel and Pirina are the only remaining members of their team, so the fate of Universe 6 lies on their broad shoulders. The two will have to give everything they’ve got against Gohan and Piccolo, so fans should expect both teams to pull out some massive tag-team moves.
Both Gohan and Piccolo will have a hard time countering the U6 warriors’ attacks and the preview shows how their powers push the U7 tag-team into a corner. The title of Dragon Ball Super Episode 118 suggests that there will be a universe to get annihilated. However, Blankenship pointed out that the Japanese text can be hazy at times and the title could also mean that there will be one or more universes to get chopped.
Blankenship went on to say that Japanese lacks the plural form and theories have it that there will be more than one universe to get obliterated. Most fans believe that it could be Universe 2 given that its MVP Ribrianne has been defeated. Others also suggest that Universe 6 will also be wiped out despite the two Namekian fighters’ formidable powers. Fans, though, hope that Universe 7 stands still.
"As I've mentioned before, the magic of ambiguous Japanese means the title could refer to one or more universes. Presumably though the official subtitle people know precisely what’s coming next episode."

For now, fans can only guess how the Namekians will fare against the Universe 7 duo, but they stand a good chance should they fuse. Dragon Ball has previously shown audiences that Namekian Fusions multiply power to an insane degree, so Saonel and Pirina may forfeit their autonomy if it means saving Universe 6 from destruction. If that happens, Gohan may have a good reason to break out his Ultimate form, and Piccolo could surprise by debuting a power-up of his own.
