"Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

[emperior]

Toriyama complained about the quality of the anime. We have to accept that he probably believes everything else is fine (story, interactions)

He said quality of the anime, he didn't say animation. This was also during F, an arc which Toyo skipped.

What makes you think that his complaints couldn't be applied to both?

Quality should be referred to the "eye-portion" of the show (what you see in terms of art and animation) or else Toriyama wouldn't have specified it. Just my opinion, though even if Toriyama complained about the story it would be easy to fix it for him if he started supervising more - so at this point what we're seeing (and what we've been seeing ever since that comment) is likely fine for Toriyama or he would have already stopped working on Super.

Is there something new/interesting?

The stars might represent fighting ability.

I'd think they would represent fighting experience.

Roshi should be very high if it's experience

It's obviously not about strength since Tien has more stars than 17,18 and Buu and i doubt it's anything relevant considering Buu is there and we know he won't be fighting in the tournament.

Strength is definitely not the only factor, but it might be one of them .

Seeing Buu promoted in these advertisements knowing he gets replaced makes my blood boil. Why did they advertise Buu so much if they knew he wasn't going to be in the tournament? I'm still pissed off by this bait-and-switch, especially since this is the second time it happened after the Champa tournament.

It makes you wonder why even go through with the promotion of Buu. If they left it ambiguous that he might join, it wouldn't have been so hard to swallow.

Because it is a troll.

Because it is a troll.

There's no point in that though. One time, sure, but twice with the same character for the same reason? Come on. If they were going to do that, the episode with Buu training and getting all slimmed down was absolutely pointless.

It does have a point. Like I predicted back in the exhibition matches; damage control. Well, half-predicted since Gohan hasn't gotten the shaft so far...

It wasn't pointless since it foreshadowed Buu falling asleep and Goku learned to blind people with ki spam.

And the troll is slightly different. In the Champa Saga, Buu didn't fight and had no replacement. Here, Buu did fight, although not the main tourument, and he got a replacement. So Buu did do something for the team this time.

We did get more from Buu but the question really comes down to whether or not it was a good idea to do basically the same thing twice when a lot of people, myself included, really wanted to see him in the tournament.

He does have some hacked skills but since hes kind of ummm...."slow" there were ways to eliminate him.

Looks like fake promotional art.

[perucho1990]

I would love to see the U7 Saiyan Trio face the U6 Saiyan trio.

Vegeta vs Cabba II, where Cabba unlocks Blue.

Goku vs Caulifla, fighting genius vs fighting genius

Gohan vs Kale, this one could be one of the best fights in the ToP, Gohan seeing Kale would remind him of his old self and how much he has changed since he was a kid, when he was depending on rage power to win fights.

Is this real? Because Tien's pose looks just like one of his SR units from Dokkan Battle.

The stars represent how well the characters are expected to perform at the tournament. Note that this isn't revealing what will actually happen, it's just a "prediction" ("oh, Kuririn has tricky techniques so he gets 5 stars, Kamesennin is old but strong so he gets a little less", etc etc). We know Boo won't be a factor so this shouldn't be taken that seriously.

What's it say under 17? I wonder why they have him so low.

It's just describing him. "Artificial Human like #18, has a family and works in a nature reserve. Look out for his increased battle power".
