It would be a damn shame if they never visit Planet Salad.

I have a gut feeling that Piccolo will suddenly have the urge to go back to Namek and that will be the last we see of him.

He appears in end of Z, though. But Piccolo needs to return to Namekusei nevertheless, once there, plot will give him a new form, because he needs it. Either the form seen in Dragon Ball Online or give him the god form. I never get why, of all races, Saiyans should be the only ones to get to the realm of gods and Namekuseijin warriors don't.
We help! ... Hmm. Always get Autobots out of messes they get into.

Too big of a deal to not happen, specially if super goes long enough
I don't really think Bardock will come back, unless they write a story involving time breakers like in Xenoverse/DBO.

Its not that others dont IMO its that if everyone knew readily how to use or obtain God Ki what is the point?

I think it's good they have spaced it out a bit if it happens.

Unless I missed something, I'm still not entirely convinced there WILL be material after the Tournament of Power arc. I'm certainly open to it though.

You seriously think they're going to stop this money train?

Well, there was this tweet like yesterday where Toyotaro said they're laying the groundwork for Super catching up to EoZ, so there.

It's very obvious the next arc will have Uub, Pan and adult Trunks/Goten as the new heroes. Even if Goku is still around.

How exactly? I don't see anything indicating that.
Dragon Ball was always a kid series and fans should stop being in denial.

Everything is pointing to them finally going to EOZ:

- Uub is brought up again very recently

- Trunks/Goten being purposely excluded now makes me think they're saving them for when they're in their older designs.

- Toei clearly wants to do something with Pan, but they can't now since she's a baby


Lastly this tournament feels like a "last hurrah" for the older DBZ cast. By the time we get to EOZ everyone is old, I don't see the likes of Krillin, Tenshihan, the Androids, etc. playing any major role after we go through the next timeskip.

Dragon Ball has been the second highest grossing franchise for Bandai Namco since 2015, I really doubt they would stop making new episodes. Super atm is more valuable than One Piece, and One Piece is by far the biggest manga of all time (even now).
Toyotarō: … I get the feeling I’ve just heard something amazing (laughs). Lord Beerus and Whis turn up in Dragon Ball Super, and have become an unsurpassable wall for Goku and the gang. What do the two of them mean to you?

Toriyama: Well… First off, right now I don’t have any plans for Goku and Vegeta to surpass Beerus and Whis.

I think it's absolutely a possibility. Super was originally advertised to cover the "lost decade" between the end of the Buu saga and EoZ, and Toei could very well go through with that.

Nothing is known for sure, so jumping to the conclusion that it's going to continue well beyond the EoZ timeframe seems just as premature to me as jumping to the conclusion that it's definitely going to end soon. There haven't been any strong hints from the creators either way, so no, I'm not really convinced of anything yet.

You're assuming they even wanna go past the EoZ. Maybe they don't?

Why do people keep saying this? that its gonna end soon? I even saw people say this during the champa arc and that legit the first actually super arc. heres A great video from Rhymestyle and Geekdom101 why it won't. https://youtu.be/4d7ShZvvzbI?t=54

there are four universes that won't even be in this arc, because they are too good. For a reason to be used later, anf if they werent gonna use them later they would have had Zeno destroy them at the very start of this arc.

This is not gonna happen lol.

Goku is way to iconic and popular to be replaced without a massive shit storm amongst japanese fans, they have a Goku day in japan for a reason.

Goku also has his own statue in Japan,he's pretty much an icon there along with many iconic anime characters such as Lum who also has her own statue but i doubt any of you remember her.

You have to have anime/manga knowledge of the 70s to know who Lum is. She is a OG.

I didn't say that, you just misinterpreted my post.

My position on whether the series will continue after EoZ is entirely neutral.
