In DBO Towa makes him stronger using mind control and dark magic. It's similar to Xenoverse.

I cannot believe that so many cliche things happen to become true now.:D But maybe exactly something as over the top as Dragon Ball is the franchise that fits for that.

And Dragon Ball Online, if you take it in account of it being the OG Xenoverse.

Anyways, that's if Towa and Mira (I hope not) or someone similar to them are even in Super.

True, but it might be good. I'm sure The animation will be bad like always, and I'm sure they'll keep the bland music, but maybe...just maybe they'll do us right for the first time since raging blast...... a man can dream.....
Any post before 8/7/2016 isn't mine. This account was a gift from someone who thought the account was already banned. Saved me the trouble of making a new one haha XD

I love DB/DBZ/DBGT/DBZK/DBS (If I didn't why would I be here? XD)

DBO = Dragon Ball Online

And I hope Mira and Towa are in it because it's too good of a storyline not to put in DBS.

It would knock originality out of the window, but Toriyama doesn't seem to have a problem with that based on these latest reveals.

True however I'm not exactly have confidence Toei nor Tori to give us something satisfying in this arc 50/50 here with this one.

I am excited about the Trunks Saga. But I never want to hear anyone say again "oh Broly during the Cell Games waiting time is so unrealistic" when in the 10 years gap of the last chapter Battle of Gods, Fukkatsu no F, Tournament U6v7, Trunks and Grinch ruins Christmas happens.

EDIT: AND Omni Tournament.

It's Toriyama's original idea. This could be the backstory for Future Trunk's Time Travel Patrol.

At this point it should be clear that Toriyama-san does not care what is added to Dragon Ball lore, just his details should be included. So Toei and Toyble are obviously two instances that matter as well.

Boo Kai had a lot of endings like Super and still only 1 opening.

Oh god no, the last thing we need is DBO crap all over again with Xenoverse.

Black Goku? Maybe an evil one?
I've already seen this officially happening in Dragon Ball Heroes promo manga. I wonder if this will be in some way similar...

Fanfics have been around for 20 years in regards to Dragonball and I think at this point just about everything has been done. Do you have an original idea that hasn't been put into fanfic before? I doubt there are too many left. With that said, I am also underwhelmed by an evil Goku but lets give it some time and see how it actually plays out before everyone resorts to calling it nothing but fanfic and getting turned off by it. I think it definitely has potential with Toriyama at the helm.
I would say the Universe 6 arc had some original ideas. The story of the upcoming arc is not revealed yet so i can't say much about that but the return of old characters is what i call unoriginal and i don't like it no matter how popular or how much someone loves that character if his character arc had a perfect closure and i think Trunks' arc was concluded quite well don't bring him back. Freeza was a disappointment because their was no point in bringing him back.
Yeah which is why i said i am not going to jump to conclusion because of Toriyama's involvement there might be something interesting but i don't have high hopes.

Evil Goku could have worked so well in a post-GT story as Goku was absorbing the Dragon Balls and they needed time to purify.
