Nah they did poor even compared to the pre Strong World movies. Movies 8 and 9 which were the retellings failed to even break ¥1 billion. They were even outgrossed by the Naruto movies on those years.
That's why after two duds in a row they got Oda heavily involved for Strong World to try and give them new life.

Unsurprising, but nice to know.
Actually, the red text at the top also says "The Potara is on his left ear only" and the other red text says "He has the Time Ring on his right index finger".

Why? Most people have seen Z all the way through. Seeing an abridge version the Buu Saga, which isn't as abridge well as Kai 1.0, isn't really necessary.
Toei probably most likely control over on what's happen with the TV rights for the series. When Toonami got the rights to Kai, they most likely to sign a deal to air all of the episodes. Including the Buu saga.

Given that Toei treats Kai 1.0 and Kai 2.0 as different series, I doubt it. They most likely need a separate deal all together, otherwise why is it taking Funi so long to dub it and put it on TV or DVD.

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

Given the way kaioshin potara combine 2 people into one unified whole, perhaps makaioshin potara split a person in 2 parts, with 1 being the sum of all their evil...
Perhaps Goten, was conceived earlier than expected in one of the tragic time lines, and relied on the assistance of the makaioshin to correct things.
Spitballen here.

The question is "Is Goku black already the result of a portara or is he waiting for a partner"
Because a thought occurred to me. It was said Goku Black has travelled planet to planet destroying them in Trunks' explanation wasn't it? Because That seems like a way to get the attention of the Kaioshins. Maybe he only had one Portara earring at the moment and needs to get another one.

I read somewhere that the Potara is called "Potara of Time"
And I still stick to my theory that there is a Black Vegeta or whatever to fuse later on with Black Goku
A weaker dance fusioned Gogeta vs a Potara non SSGSS Vegetto would be interesting

I assume one way you can Potara fuse with someone and end up with Goku is if two Goku's did it. Depending on when such a fusion happened, his great power would be pretty plausible.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

That was just someone confusing the kanji next to "UP" as being related to "Potara" above it.
What it means is "Potara - during (close)-up."

I wonder if Black is just not fused with anyone yet. Or maybe half-fused?... I dunno. We'll just have to wait and find out.

Speculation: Perhaps Zamasu was originally Future Trunks' timeline's Kaioshin. Somehow evil started to grow inside of him, prompting him to split in two in order to cleanse himself (ala Kami and Daimao), and that evil used the potara to fuse with Goku in the afterlife?

It would be funny if the potara on Goku Black is really nothing and Toriyama thought having it on him would look cool.

That's why he brought Freeza back so it wouldn't surprise me.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

Which it does. But... yeah. I'm not sure if I'd laugh or get really angry and turn Super Saiyan!

Speaking of dubbing Super, anyone know why they never went on to dub the Yo, Son Goku! OVA?

Based on what I've read they couldn't get the rights to it and the other 2 OVAs because more than one company owned them.

Again... Zamasu has 2 Potaras on him
