"Dragon Ball Super" episode 71 spoilers build so much tension since Goku is rumored to die in this episode.
With the coming of Hit, the next episode of "Dragon Ball Super" will be the start of the Hit Saga. Accordingly, Hit will finally have a chance to kill Goku in this episode. Details on how Goku will die are very scarce, but reports suggest that upon battling with Hit, Gohan will be taking charge in place of his father which will unleash Gohan's full power. The battle between the two will happen between Universe six and seven.
The speculation about Goku's death is based on the great power of Hit that is believed to be capable of killing Son Goku in the battlefield. In fact, Hit almost destroyed the Saiyans in the previous episodes. It can be remembered that the two once faced each other where Goku was almost killed if Hit did not inhibit himself due to the tournament rule. With this, it is possible that his plans on killing Goku will finally be fulfilled.
