'Dragon Ball Super' episodes 78, 79 spoilers: Can Universe 7 beat Universe 9 in the Zen Exhibition Match?

The upcoming Tournament of Power has one very simple rule: win or be wiped out of existence. The Zen-Ohs really don't like complicating things, and what may hit everybody else as merciless is just business as usual for the most powerful beings in the "Dragon Ball" universe, who also happen to be as naïve as two little children in a sandbox.

Although there is little to no consolation at all at this point, Goku is well aware that he has bitten more than he can chew this time, and he is willing to take responsibility for it. As to how this could make the situation better or worse still remains to be seen as the Japanese anime series "Dragon Ball Super" continues its brand new "Universe Survival" arc.

As it currently stands, the victorious fighter will be given a chance to make a wish on the Super Dragon Balls, while all universes that lost will be wiped out of existence. Any attempt to appeal against this rule may prove futile and could even lead to the protester being wiped out of existence himself.

The trailer for the next episode seems to suggest that Universe 7 may not yet be strong enough to match up against the strongest fighters of the other universes. In the Zen Exhibition Match requested by Future Zen-Oh, Universe 7's first contender Majin Buu is barely able to hold his own against Universe 9's Basil.

But is Buu really weak, or was he just gearing up for an especially devastating final attack? He was, after all, told to go out and play, which is what he seems to be doing in the trailer. Can the Majin win this match on his own, or will Goku have to motivate him to take things more seriously by revealing the consequence of losing in the upcoming tournament?

A source shared a synopsis for the upcoming episode wherein Buu is described to be laughing despite being at a disadvantage. The synopsis has also revealed the names of the two other contenders from Universe 9, Lavenda and Bergamo, who, along with Basil, make up the "Trio of Danger."

"Dragon Ball Super" episode 79 airs on Sunday, Feb. 19, at 9 a.m. JST on Fuji TV.
