I can't understand how some people keep saying that "it's Zamasu with Black's hair" when that's clearly just wrong. I mean, this is Zamasu:

and this is Merged Zamasu:

The Goku features are blatant, like the nose and even the shape of the head, very different from Zamasu's. The bangs are actually made longer, too.
The Toyotaro's version is hard to judge from that bad scan alone, as it looks more like a weird Goku with pointy ears for now. But i understand that some people will praise Toyotaro even if the next chapter is 40 pages of Goku taking a dump.

Ummmmm what's obvious about the actual facial features from those two pictures?? I guess you could argue very slight differences to the eyes and chin, but even those could be attributed to either the angle or the particular animator rather than a wholely facial design change and direction. I have no idea what your mean about the nose since is from a different angle and lighting. It looks like the same exact size and shape of Zamasu nose but at a different angle.

It's a nice callback to the old chapter titles in manga. It's the characters doing weird shit, like Bulma piloting WWII jet fighter, Goku riding dinosaurs, fishing, Formula 1 racing etc.
What's that? Silly things in a serious arc? Really Toyotaro? Are you really ruining Dragon Ball? I hate you even more now. :evil:
Is this sarcasm? If not I assume you hate Dragonball as a whole then as he's merely carrying on a tradition set by Toriyama...

Well if that wasn't the case.. he could never like Dragonball in the 1st place

The Filler episodes on paper look to be far better than the previous ones, at least better than the Monaca Arc.

November 27: Come here Shenron!! Whose dream will come true?
December 4: Goku vs Arale! The earth comes to an end due to their battle?
December 11: Challenge from Champa Let’s fight in baseball!
December 18: Goku dies! Assassination order that must be performed.

Here too, according to YounkouProductions.

I can't wait until the end of this arc and the manga has skipped Gohan and Future trunks, vastly shortened the training with Vegeta, gotten rid of any development for kid trunks, omitted the "its okay" moment vegeta says to trunks in episode 50, slipped over bulma a death, has much less back story on black and trunks relationship, shortens and development Zamasu gets, gets rid of trunks ptsd like symptoms and more but people will say it's the better version.

On another note, I wish toyotorou was character designer.

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

How do we know the December 18th is the new arc episode and not a random "filler" episode?
Dragon Ball was always a kid series and fans should stop being in denial.

Wow not much 'filler' as expected. This makes Toyo's comments even more odd of jumping ahead.

Serious filler it seems. :(
I would really prefer they stayed in their slice-of-life and silliness comfort zone. At least we might see Yamcha baseball skills again. I hope they don't ruin Hit...

I think they would announce it like they did with the Trunks Arc, hyping it up as another story written by Mr.Toriyama, doing all the advertisement stops.

Maybe this arc with Hit will be skipped in the manga and the anime will start the arc that the manga will be moving to sometime in the middle of 2017.

Good point. Does the page say anything about Akira Toriyama? Because his next arc is supposed to be announced at Jump Festa on either the 17th or the 18th, so if he's not mentioned here this could very well be a filler arc.

Clearly sarcasm. But really, if Toei did things like this half the fans will hate it. But never mind that. :lol:

The fight vs Arale is going to cause a lot of controversy, given that she is a female Saitama.

I hope with Hit getting centered in the next arc means we will finally get to see the rest of the U6 fighters and a visit to Planet Salada.

I'm actually excited for that baseball filler! Gohan playing baseball was amazing.

Hit coming back is even better though! He's way too badass to leave the series for good. I hope he replaces Piccolo and Kyabe replaces Gohan if they don't want to do anything with those characters after all.

Knowing Toyotarou, he will possibly skip this entire ''filer'' (which isn't) mini-arc. I hope not, but he's always doing that thing, which I don't like.
