I'd say there will continue to be more arcs until Nozawa says she can't do it anymore. When that'll be is anyone's guess since she's 81 and still screaming and kicking ass.

Nozawa is the GOAT.

That's a valid reason to keep the show on air.

Wow I actually didn't realize she was in her 80's. She still sounds fantastic too.

I'm hoping that either there will be more arcs before EOZ, or if we do skip ahead of EOZ, that Goku/Vegeta will still be the leads. Don't have a ton of interest in the passing of the torch stuff.

At any rate, I do expect the 28th TB to be rewritten/reanimated. The core stuff (Goku meeting Uub) will be intact, but I'm hoping for it to be handled differently, and for different character designs for a lot of the cast.

That's exactly what's going to happen cause there's no way an international franchise like DB will end with one person.

In terms of the question, I think we'll get a villain arc after this and eventually a tournament between U7 and the 4 remaining universes who aren't taking part here. I also think we'll get something with the time patrol and hell as those are popular in heroes right now. That's 4 arcs and we're on the 5th so that's 9 overall, we could get a 10th one as well.

DB is "Super" popular right now so there's no way we'll be done anytime soon. Super alone will go beyond 200 episodes and that's not counting what comes after it and movies.

Neither does anyone involved with the franchise. DB is Goku and Vegeta, that will never change.

Same, they tried to do this in the Buu arc and it didn't work at all imo, and Toriyama thankfully brought it back to Goku. I would lose interest completely if that happened.

The Buu arc was switching between the old and new characters so it wasn't a complete switch.

In terms of fully moving on to the next gen, we're seeing it in Naruto (boruto) with very mixed results to put it nicely, the 2nd arc being the exception due to it switching back to Naruto and Sasuke. If that's anything to go by then hopefully they stay as far away from that concept as possible.

What I want: Super to end and a new show in its place that takes place after EoZ. Super is respectable now and I can't wait for episodes, but there's some issues I have with it that the show simply can't fix without being madly inconsistent with itself.

What we'll probably get: At least 2 more arcs of Super, one of which will be after EoZ

The reason DB was renamed Z after Piccolo was (among other reasons) to get a bigger budget due to it being a "new" show so it could happen here again. I think the most likely time will be when Toriyama's done.

Do you think it'll be handed over to Toyotaro once Toriyama's done and it could continue that way? Seems possible. Wouldn't mind him doing the manga and then have an anime adaptation of that like the old days. His Super manga can get strange at times but the fight choreography is much better than the Super anime in my opinion

I suppose I wouldn't mind Dragon Ball Super ending and then Toei rebranding the show with a new series with a different name beginning from Episode 1 that would continue from EoZ.

I wouldn't want to wait too long for it after Super ended though.

As long as Super keeps printing money, the show will keep going on.

That is what I mean. Toriyama wrote Goku and Vegeta out and left us the "next gen" for a bit it wasn't working out and he then brought them two back thankfully.

And this is pretty much what I think will happen.
However I see this panning out a bit differently.
I predict a new show would be time travel based like Xenoverse, that way they could have any match up they want from any time period. Even movie characters if they want.
