21 is the official release date for vjump.There’s a scan on naruto forums.
Yeah. That was just a troll. The person tweeted that out as a joke yesterday and some people caught on in the comments bt others didn’t i guess. He tweeted an old scan. Its too early for V-Jump leaks on the 13th. Wait til tomorrow (the 15th) to start expecting leaks.

I called it that Gogeta, Bardock, and something Broly related would be in the movie before it was even announced that it was a Broly movie. 8)

Wait we could get leaks about the movie tomorrow? That's awesome!

I honestly can't even fully rationalize why I am so excited for this movie. When I heard it was a Broly movie I was infuriated

Yeah. Between the 15th and 21th is when you should be expecting leaks.

And same. I was hoping for some completely uncharted lore territory. Stuff with Sadala, ancient saiyans, lore, etc. and we got Broly. And it seems like the only new lore we’re gonna get is Broly’s backstory since we already know Vegeta’s backstory for the most part and we’ve seen Goku’s tons of times.

I guess its because i still have hope that it can somehow all tie in. That, and no matter what, new dragon ball content always gets me hyped.

Well we are going to get more insight into the history of the Saiyans as a whole. We know of Vegeta, Goku's backstories but we are going to have DB Minus tie ins, and get more lore in regards to the Saiyans in general.

And didn't Toriyama say there was going to be a ton of Saiyans in this movie? Like the most in history? I expect there to be a lot of lore involved in this movie.

Why would the wiki article be wrong and not yours ? I don't think these mangaka would put in the effort they do if their main target group was 6-10 year olds, especially someone like Oda who goes above and beyond for the smallest details.
HeroR wrote:As for Super's intended audience, when directly asked about it, the director said it was aimed at the same group as the rest of Dragon Ball.
Actions speak louder than words and what we've seen so far says the opposite.
Jesus-is Lord wrote:Look at goku at the end, he dosent have any blood shown - if this movie fails to show some intensity that old dragon ball felt - I will officially give up on modern dragon ball.
I can live without the blood as long as it's not full of gags like cutting to the Pilaf gang every 5 minutes or some of the odd to say the least modern anime tropes that Super tried to bring into DB.
One Piece and other shonen are indeed primary aimed at young boys (8-15). You are delusional if you think any Dragonball media or shonen series is aimed at an older group than that.

And no, standards for what is appropriate for children differ by culture, so DB(Z) having more blood and ecchi isn't proof of it being more mature or being made for an older audience.

And just because something is for kids don't mean it should be put to a lower standard or made with less effort. Hell, Oda himself will tell you that One Piece is a young boys series, yet look at the amount of effort he puts into it.
I think one thing people are failing to mention when trying to compare DB/Z as being “more mature” or violent than a super is, the original manga and anime existed over 20 years ago and the times have changed. Such violence has been extensively toned down for the age demographic that DB is aimed at since those days. So that’s one reason people seem to believe the older material was somehow aimed at adults. The old anime was also aired in the evenings which is generally a time slot where more action and violence could be accepted compared to the 9am time slot of Super.

That never stopped Naruto and One Piece from being violent.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

It isn't. First of all Jiren didn't break his limits but released dormant power he already had.
Secondly that dormant power was not defined or compared to Beerus at all.
Especially when you got an anime magazine only QUESTIONING if UI Goku, who beat that Jiren is stronger than Beerus.
You even have the Shounen magazine QUESTIONING if Broly himself is stronger than a god of destruction too.

Yeah this is just semantics. They are essentially the same thing.

These kinds of statements are specifically written to be vague and have children arguing with each other on the playground to keep them excited long enough for the next magazine to come out with an equally faux-sensationalist statement for the cycle to repeat.

Don't play into it so seriously. Not everything is written to be biblical truth.

Also: Dragon Ball is made for children, and yet you're allowed to like it no matter who you are.

They aren't. Limit breaking is going above and beyond, gaining new power. Dormant power is strength one already had but unlocked.

This is true. That's why I don't take whether Broly is stronger or weaker than a god as facts. :)
They are essentially doing the same with Beerus too...leaving his status very vague.

Same thing. Releasing your dormant powers (previously unavailable) is the SAME as breaking ones limits. Argument invalid. Also, you don’t have to downplay Broly by using the argument that they “questioned” wether he has power beyond that of a God of Destruction.
We all know that Broly is going to be stronger than Beerus. No need to fool ourselves. And he is also confirmed to be above Jiren. As the director of this movie (or whoever it was) clearly said that this enemy is the strongest being Goku and co. have ever faced. This naturally includes Jiren.

I don't want to here your wishful fan fiction about Beerus strength too. Especially when the series specifically never defined his power.
I also don't want to debate petty semantics. It doesn't matter, the point is Jiren's "dormant power" or limit breaker as you people call it, is just another power up.
This still means nothing cause UI Goku beat this Jiren and this UI Goku was only QUESTIONED whether he was stronger than Beerus in a official magazine.

I agree. It really was about Broly being stronger than beerus at first but I will stop this now. I'm tired of reading fanfic.

I remember the old thread I made in the Fan-Works section asking for some recommendations back in 2014. At the time, I asked for some suggestions that didn't involve the common tropes that we come across in 99% of fanfiction and this was Rocketman's response:

The simple truth is there just aren't many good DB fancomics.

Hell, once you cut out "Broly IV: The Quest for Broly", "old enemies return" and "superpowered relative of old enemy", there's practically no DB fancomics at all.

I miss this guy. I am a big Broly fan which is why I'm looking forward to this movie but I can understand why many fans are skeptical of the idea. Toriyama did flatout say "I hear these days, he’s still very popular not only in Japan, but also overseas. Based on that, my editor suggested we have Broly appear in this next movie." so Toriyama's at least being honest that Broly's popularity is the major reason why he's being brought back again. I doubt they would consider doing a reboot of a different movie character regardless of how good they feel the idea could be since the others aren't as popular.

Interestingly his descriptions of stock shitty DB fanfics all came back in official media recently (Super Broly, Freeza coming back three times, and Frost; if you count supplemental stuff there's also Golden Cooler).

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke
Herms wrote:The fact that the ridiculous power inflation is presented so earnestly makes me just roll my eyes and snicker. Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.
