This is the transcript of Toyotaro's panel.

Can you anticipate something about the future of Dragon Ball Super?
Toyotaro: "Assuming you've read at least volume 2, where Black Goku appears for the first time, so we'll find out about the related events. Then of course, the story has to end like the original story ends, in a natural and coherent way. So, at least you know that Goku, Vegeta and the others will be alive, so surely you can expect it."

The full interview is here: https://www.animeclick.it/news/64770-na ... n-toyotaro
Well this is entirely different from what people were saying before. It sounds like all he's saying here is that everyone knows that at the end of the Future Trunks arc things won't be wildly different from the end of Z in terms of who's alive and such.

Yes. This is no confirmation that Super won't get past end of Z. He basically stated the obvious.

If there's one thing I want them to keep in EoZ is that Goku doesnt transform into a SSJ or anything against Oob, the boy is a beginner for fucks sake but with how Toei handles hyping up characters they tend to make the balance break, if they do change the fight a bit then I'm 99% sure they'll have Goku go SSJB against Oob and people would still defend it as "Goku's holding back"

I will go ahead and say they won't be changing anything form the eoz, it will be absolutely the same with only maybe some extra parts added to connect Better with super

I think Goku's possible new transformation seen in the opening has something to do with him realizing transformations are useless, looks like he'll use his normal form with some kind of higher control power up, maybe ultimate kaiokhen

Also, I once saw a theory based on EOZ Goku's gi colours, they perfectly match Grand Priest's ones and he could be his next master


Not so worried about Toyotaro statement, I feel Super like a warm up to the real new Dragon Ball, who will follow new generation adventures
With the money Super is making, is silly and funny even try to think DB could end again

If it'll go this good, will last for another decade or more

I like how Toyble says he likes drawing SSJ4. He is one of the few who actually mentions it.

They should just free themselves from the ending. It's a blip in the manga, a forced ending from another time in Mr.Toriyama's disposition towards Dragon Ball.
Personally I would save Goku development into a hands on master/teacher and Oob, who could potentially become an interesting character.

I'm not in any rush for any time-skips, bar new designs for some characters. There's literally potential for infinite adventures around the corner, there's no need to waste these ten years because of this. Eventually we will get there but there's so much to tell.

I now belive this account is a fake. He tends to say "Hey, please watch this episode, i'm gonna be the script-writer". He did it for 86 and 87, but not for 88, while he was the script-writer (NewType got it wrong and said it was Yoshifumi Fukushima)

Plus, last time I asked him (after 87), he answered me that he'll be back for episode 90. Not 88.

Ahh okay that's a shame. We've had fake accounts before so this wouldn't surprise me.

They match up very well if you account for the increased bulk.

Now, as others (and myself) have pointed out, her bangs are different in the OP, being longer on the left side:
[spoiler]Image[/spoiler]
But that can easily be explained by her just styling her hair differently. If she pulls down some of the longer strands right behind her bangs, it would be the perfect length for the ponytail look. She did have a timid look in the original preview, but considering that shot didn't make it into the OP, I think it might have been just some early work that got changed, like Jiren being a the Exhibition matches instead of Toppo.
I am still not convinced, even her hair looks like in a different shape and not spiky at all.

There is one frame of the gif where you can see how long her straight hair is in the back. Also one seems to be very scared and the other with a badass attitude. Maybe it's going to far into details but I think, after the Goku Black mystery, Toei just want to confuse the fans or Toriyama changed his mind about the design.

I don't see a problem with them coming with a Saiyajin named burokkori or broccoli. it is possible, right?

I'm just gonna wait and see how this female Broly thing. This whole "Toriyama changed something Toei made or Toei changed something Toriyama" seems kinda weird to talk about. Thus show is written and made months in advanced so I'm not sure how fans can come up with a conclusion like that.

If you freeze frame it, you can see that her hair is very spiky once the ponytail comes loose but before the green sets in:

As for the attitude, her personality could have been changed in the writing process. Remember this?
[spoiler]Image[/spoiler]

The only part of the original design that made it into the intro was that single shot of her scowling at the back of Jiren's head. There could be another Saiyan and I hope there will be, but I don't think it's this one. What's the point of giving her a related name, a base hairstyle evocative of Broly's SS form, a comment about her potential and a punk attitude just to fake out and have it be someone else? Caulifla's being built up with a small sub-plot but her current design doesn't appear in the intro or that group shot of the fighters a few episodes back. I think that's a clue as well.

Next episode will be fun to see if Goku and Chaozu finally interact with each other. I bet it won't happen. :lol:

Because it wouldn't be the first time something from the preview is changed in the final product. Like the exhibition match originally had Jiren there.

Is it true Goku and Chaiotzu have never spoken one word to each other in the entire span of Dragonball and DBZ?

It was still a character wearing a cloak tho. Some folks are under impression girl in red/female Broly won't appear at all.
