Should there have been a unique opening for each arc?
So last year when the Universe Survival Arc came out and we switched from Chozetsu Dynamic to Limit-Break X Survivor, I made a thread called "Why didn't we get a new opening sooner?" where I asked why didn't get a new opening much sooner than pretty much the last arc of the series, why didn't we get multiple other openings. But now that Super is over, I wanna get a modern take on this topic. So I'll ask you guys, like we see with multiple other Shonen anime, like Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Fairy Tail, My Hero Academia, and Black Clover, should there have been a unique opening song for each individual arc of Super, instead of just one opening for four arcs straight only to change at the last arc?
Caulifla best girl!

Yes, Absolutely. I don't know about you, but to me Chozetsu Dynamic was so out of place during the Future Trunks arc. It was an arc about a mad God committing genocide... Maybe they should have made a darker intro which focused on the stars of that arc, who were obviously Zamasu, Goku Black, Future Trunks and Future Mai, and showed the horrors that were taking place in the Future world. All of this accompanied by a chilling and ominous song.

Yes, without a doubt. There were 11 endings so why on earth couldn't we get more openings ?

Did Dragon Ball Z get a unique opening for every arc?
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.

Hell, yeah. Unique opening animation as well as music.
As for the ending credits changing much more frequently, it makes sense - they required a lot less animation than the opening sequence. So they were easier and quicker to pull off.

No just the two; Cha la head cha la(Saiyan arc to Cell arc) and We gotta power(Buu arc) with head cha la being updated in new arcs, like with the new characters and Goku going Super Saiyan.AnimeNation101 wrote:Did Dragon Ball Z get a unique opening for every arc?

If thats the case then no wine should be expecting a new intro per arc. But sure, if i had the choice, i’d take a new intro per arc. But on the upside, if we did keep the format we already have, we’d always know when we’re at the last arc.dbgtFO wrote:No just the two; Cha la head cha la(Saiyan arc to Cell arc) and We gotta power(Buu arc) with head cha la being updated in new arcs, like with the new characters and Goku going Super Saiyan.AnimeNation101 wrote:Did Dragon Ball Z get a unique opening for every arc?

If you think about it, Z is even worse than Super in that regard because its arcs were a LOT bigger than Super's. They had much more time to make an opening.
Re: Should there have been a unique opening for each arc?
Yes if only because Chozetsu Dynamic was probably the worst opening in the franchise’s history.

Agreed Chozetsu Dynamic is really boring, I don't mind it for BoG, RoF and U6 tournament but they should have change it in the Future Trunks arc.OhHiRenan wrote:Yes if only because Chozetsu Dynamic was probably the worst opening in the franchise’s history.

More than anything, I hated the first title card music for Super (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usPHXVbUH1s). It felt very incongruous for some of the darker moments of the series. The one they introduced for the ToP arc was a bit more palatable as a shonen anime track.

I think that new openings should happen if a big arc is coming out. Naruto kept the same opening until the next big arc happened.sintzu wrote:Yes, without a doubt. There were 11 endings so why on earth couldn't we get more openings ?

We should've at least gotten 4. 1 for the retellings, 1 for the Champa arc, 1 for Trunks' arc and 1 for the TOP.majinwarman wrote:I think that new openings should happen if a big arc is coming out.

Re: Should there have been a unique opening for each arc?
given how great it was Limit-Break X Survivor yeah ..maybe we should have a special one for the champa arc and zamasu arc
I think we are exaggerating, is not in my favorites list but it was "adequate" although I do agree that it should have been changed for other arcsSpider-Man wrote:Agreed Chozetsu Dynamic is really boring, I don't mind it for BoG, RoF and U6 tournament but they should have change it in the Future Trunks arc.OhHiRenan wrote:Yes if only because Chozetsu Dynamic was probably the worst opening in the franchise’s history.
