They're not and this is why "I watch Dragonball For Goku and Vegeta to get stronger and Z fighter fights with strong enemies".

No one watches DB for any other reason and if you take that away then 90% of the viewers at the very least will be gone. Goku has a good size brand recognition so most will know who he is by seeing a picture of him but Uub ? there are DB fans who probably don't know who he is so giving him a show will be franchise suicide.


Yet there’s a ton of fans who think the u6 saiyans will become the main cast and can carry the story. Goku and Vegeta will always be the main and everyone else can fight for the scraps

I'd call them a vocal minority but even that's too big of a number for them.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

How about filthy causals?

Not to be rude, just curious, how are you burning out? Super's a once a week thing..
Unless it's the story you aren't enjoying as much and following it is becoming a chore?

They wouldn't even ask for something so out there.

If someone's used to 12-24 episode shows then it's not surprising.

Even below those filthy causals?
How about Shōjo fans then?
Unless you wanna go even lower in which case we will be entering the depths only Blanco gohan memers have access to..

Seriously, a Universe 6 version really will not work, haven't seen many demanding that either, I would be lying if I say I saw more than maybe 5 people in total ask of it

I've got no desire to see the U6 trio replace anybody in the U7 lineup. I don't dislike them, but they're not my favorites.

I'm not burned out on ToP, but that's because my real life has improved somewhat making me less critical of this arc.
I was definitely upset earlier into the start of this arc months and months ago. Now it's just like...I accept this arc for what it is (a scattered collection of cool moments amid an otherwise poorly executed plot, imo) so it's now much more difficult for me to be disappointed in however this arc ends.

I'm used to year long arcs in the way I'm used to Precure being one year long arc, but I think if the ToP goes any longer than a year that'll be too much in this day and age. Buu arc was two years long, but the amount of patience the average viewer had in 1994 is not the same length as in 2018.

It’s fine! I’m just saturated with the current amount of DB content (FighterZ, XV2 DLC, DBS anime, manga, etc). The anime is the heaviest hitter and it taking a break would surely help. It also doesn’t help that even though I enjoy the story, I can’t help but feel the need to watch asap because I would likely be spoiled in the process.
Why I use "Geran" instead of "Jiren"

I actually haven't seen anyone writing anywhere they think that. I only spend time among Dragon Ball fans on this message board, though.

I understand your feelings. I hate being spoiled so I just leave the Internet until I watch the new episode.

I sometimes like long arcs but I can understand the feeling of this arc being dragged out. I always wondered why people aren't as patience anymore. I don't think the U6 Saiyans are going to become main characters though I do want to learn more about them. I also want to learn more about Hit as well.

Hopefully there's a hiatus because the manga is just destroying the anime. :x

Saving?Lol. Super is a hit series. it had a rough start with the retellings, but once it hit new content, it got good and it got people hooked. Anyways, if Super really ends in march, then that is the end. Super is done. They will most likely make a new series with a different name if they intend to make a new DB series.

I think people aren't as patient anymore because high-speed internet has conditioned people to expect information instantaneously along with the modern world in general speeding up to cram as much in per day as possible at the behest of people's physical/mental/emotional health.

I watched an article once about how the average number of bpm in pop music has gone up as society itself became more fast paced.

I would like to learn more about the U6 team. I feel confident they'll be wished back.

Patience? Plenty of us are patient for slow burners. The problem here is with Super not feeling consistently high-quality, something a shorter length would make easier. As it is now the series is just unruly ivy infesting your backyard.

SupremeKai25 wrote:Oh, don't worry. Dragon Ball Super has already been saved by an unlikely Hero: Goku Black. He is the one who saved Super, the one who introduced the arc that revolutionized Super. In fact, the magnificient episode 47 is the most viewed episode in the entire Super by a wide margin. Goku Black, despite being the most recent villain introduced in the series, has already become one of the absolute most popular and beloved characters in the entire franchise, and he was introduced only in 2016! That is astonishing! So, as you can see, Super has already been saved.

Super doesn't need saving. Yeah, the scheduling could be better, but it's still producing great episodes and making a hell of a lot of money.

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)

Yes. Hope is they allow the manga to go far ahead and only adapt that story. Stop putting multiple writers who dont love the series for each episodes. Cut down on filler antics. Focus on art and animation. Get some common sense people and dont repeat the same damn story points. Like how many times was Gohan weak the strong? Or how many times we have to go through Kales transformation? She mastered the form twice. Did they forget? Dont spit in the face of power scaling. Roshi should not have done what he did. He should have died.
