I don´t understand what you´re trying to say with the episode list, could you explain it better, please?
Dragon Ball was always a kid series and fans should stop being in denial.

I wouldn't sweat it too much. Goku fighting Black this early might suggest Trunks or Vegeta will get the finishing blow. Afterall the arc specifically setups them at least getting a piece of Black.

A month of Goku episodes then.
Black will probably kick his ass and that will kick off the "series of desperate situations for Goku and Vegeta" that the producer said this arc would contain.
Then hopefully we get some more fights that don't involve him after that, was nice to see some of that today.

Goku being the central character of a string of episodes in a Dragon Ball anime? Nothing out of the ordinary.

oh god. We can't be that close to the end, can we? I wanted this arc to have a bit more meat to it!
I could have gotten into anything...and yet I chose the story aimed at young Japanese boys about martial arts, and later about super-powerful aliens punching each other really hard.

I still think there is way more to this arc than we what we already know.

I don't understand why you wouldn't expect Goku to have a big role in an arc about an Evil Goku, though. If there's any arc Goku has a reason to be in, it's this.

Nah, we still got a ways to go, there's still tons of build of going on, we also know that future Mai is supposed to be important and that the arc will contain "a series of desperate situations for Goku and Vegeta", so 56 and 57 are likely going to be the kicking off point for the main meat of the arc.

I think there are still some ways to go. Just because someone is fighting Black doesn't mean it's the final fight.

How many times did they fight Majin Buu before they finally beat him?

So a new Whis Race character? That's what I saw from the EP54 thread. I still want more Kais. :mrgreen:

To be fair, Super hasn't done that very much. This arc, like BoG, had Goku face off against the villain, and now seemingly has the rematch against the main villain. In BoG, the first rematch was the end. RF had one fight with Freeza. If Super is following those examples, it COULD be the end. I hope it's not.

I think people are just conditioned to think that for Super because the first two arcs were just based on movies and the first original arc was just a simple tournament.

I'm not sure if this "Super Saiyan Rose" is going to be Black's trump card, him mentioning "This body" a few episodes back makes me think he's going to ditch it and gain a new one after Goku defeats him this 2nd round and come back later. We'll probably learn his true identity/name too.

That's true but the arcs in Super so far have only been about 13-14 episode each so this could be the same again. That's why personally I hope Black kicks Goku's head in because at least then you know it won't be ending any time soon.

I'm still hoping the arc can be around 30 episodes long but that might be asking for too much, I think it's possible but who knows.

I'm positive this arc will be longer than all the previous ones, somewhere in the range of 25 episodes sounds about right to me.
