He has been back, but he was either given nothing to do (see episode 1 of Super), or his work was ruined by being poorly merged with an ugly CGI model (see the final kamehameha in Revival of F).

If people realized not everything needs to have a point other than to entertain, then they'd enjoy Ginyu's inclusion much more.

I don't believe anyone has posted this already, but the official Super Twitter just retweeted this:

Czecho no Republic's next single, "Forever Dreaming," is going to be the fourth ending theme for Super starting in April. They previously did "Oh yeah!!!!!!!" for Boo Kai.

Damn it. Is it going to take them 100 episodes before they give us a brand new opening? :thumbdown:

I just want some new eyecatches already. I've gotten so sick of the three that they've been using since the start of the series.

Nothing wrong with it TBH.Both Z and Kai had the same opening until Boo Arc.

At this point, I think we'll first get a new opening, after the Tournament is over and they go to Universe 6. It makes sense to make the cut-off point there to signify a new Universe.
*Massive speculation incoming*
Also given how incredibly rushed the first 2 fights were, maybe the tournament part of this arc will be concluded at episode 52? I can see them either finishing the tournament or perhaps someone sabotaging it, but not getting their goals completely accomplished, thus having to flee to Universe 6, where Goku and co. will chase after that person(most likely Hit).

If they keep going this fast then we might be done by ep40.

Does anyone know when the next episode titles will be released ?
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

I wonder this April. Ending themes change every 12 episodes. The fourth should be in March. Awaits us pause in the emission of DBS or extend emissions third?

Next titles of episodes on Monday / Tuesday.

The longest the tournament could last under the current system (including Piccolo vs Frost) is 6 more fights. Episode 33 had two fights in one episode. If that's the standard, it'll be over quick. Episode 34 makes it looks like Piccolo vs Frost will be the full episode though,...but then again 33's preview didn't hint at at Frost taking his turn that episode either.

If we compare to Kai, it might take that long. But we could get a new one around Episode 50 too. I guess it depends on their music contracts.

It's not 12 episodes. It's every three months. January, April, July, October. Boo Kai used the same ending song schedule. Starring Star already spanned 13 episodes, too.

Why so many endings? Can't we just stay with Dragon Ball standard? One opening, one ending for the whole 100 eps and then change?

That was no longer the case even back in Dragon Ball GT, which had four endings over the course of 64 episodes.

It's a co-promotional thing and makes total sense. It generates more merchandise and more things to talk about which in turn creates more discussion and more income.

I'd argue that it hurts the identity of the show when you can't and don't really sit on and lean into a theme as part of the overall musical score, though, sure.

No starring star was 12 episodes too. Hello Hello Hello 1-12=12, Starring Star 13-25 = 12, current ending should be 26-38,so new ending should come episode 39.

13 to 25 is 13...
13 = 1
14 = 2
15 = 3
16 = 4
17 = 5
18 = 6
19 = 7
20 = 8
21 = 9
22 = 10
23 = 11
24 = 12
25 = 13

And same goes for 26 - 38, it's 13 episodes.

Excuse me. It blinded me. I do not know why I was convinced that finished second at 24. In fact, 25 :)
