Why keeping her well off, of course. :thumbup:

Now that i think about it, maybe they're trying to replicate the effect the manga had while it was being released?
The manga was weekly though, and was way ahead of the anime. Right now the manga we have is behind and monthly. We have nothing to know what will happen next in the anime at all.

I was talking back in the day, when Toriyama's manga was being published, and people had no way of knowing of what was coming next in the manga itself - kind of like where we are right now, except for the previews.

Nozawa finally confirmed YESSSS! :mrgreen: I can take this villain seriously now.(hate to use this word but i am HYPED about this)

The interactions between Gokuu and Black Gokuu if done well will be the highlight of the arc for me.

Actually, the Dragon Ball manga wasn't that far ahead of the anime. I remember on the podcast here they said that during the Frieza Saga the anime was only a month behind the manga. So when Goku went Super Saiyan in the manga, anime fans saw the transformation only a few weeks later.

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.

Yeah, maybe that's a little too much for her at her age, but I'm not worried about her, I'm pretty sure she can pull it off. She always seem to be very energetic and healthy, and passionate about her job too. She's a strong woman!

Nozawa-san, gambatte!

The way voice acting works, it should not matter how many characters she is acting, because they are not going to all speak at the same time. The only thing she would have to do is act for a new character, in this case goku black.

It got close in Freeza arc, but then Toei made 10 episode Garlic jr arc and the distance was back at normal 19-20 chapters.

Shouldn't he be going back to get Gohan's help?
Well, Vegeta changed at the end of Cell arc, remember? And that peace sign when he left...

What is this? Magazines not revealing/spoiling future episode tittles? For a Toei production?

You have to realize this is beyond unprecedented. I've only seen it happen like once before and it was for like I think a major reveal for a new Pretty Cure. Japan never cares about spoilers for their kids programming. I'm honestly starting to feel a bit of hype

Maybe it wasn't intentional. Maybe the DB people missed the deadline for submitting the titles to the magazines because they were so busy running around like a chicken with its head cut off while trying to pull the production schedule out of the toilet and get on Toriyama's good side that they just forgot to write them up. =P

Hm, what would make us think that? Maybe Beerus comes to earth in this timeline after feeling Black's power and black takes him down? Maybe Black blows up future Trunk's earth... So many questions.

I actually think Beerus and Whis are absent, maybe at Zuno place or there is a meet up for the multiversal tournament. Most excited about to see Trunks (and Goten, Pan, Marron) growing. And I wouldn't mind another SSG ritual performed for Gohan. :)

I believe when I see it this arc has a lot of potential to be the franchise or at least super best arc hope they don't drop the ball on this.

They obviously do no want to spoil it as they probably think the story is good.

Thank God they're not giving anything in the slightest. It's good to know that Toei realise that some details about the plot are better left under wraps to entice more viewers. Let's hope the episode titles also remain vague and not so descriptive.

I'm also happy and quite sad that Nozawa is voicing Goku Black, because while she is the greatest Obaa-chan ever, is also pretty much confirms that the main villain is indeed just "Evil Goku".

I'm kinda surprised so many here like the idea of having Nazawa as Black Goku.

Personally I think she's great, but her voice really didn't suit Turles (or Bardock for that matter). I feel it has the same, "your mom trying to do a bad guy voice" effect that people criticize Linda Young's Frieza for.

Maybe because Black Goku actually IS Goku it might fit more, but I dunno. I just really don't buy Nozawa's sinister voice.

Two sentences stand out to me:
- "Also, since kid Trunks is still just a boy, I thought it’d be good to also portray him as growing up bit by bit. Well, I guess I’ve given the game away (laughs)."
-"I’ll only say one thing about the end of the new chapter’s first episode, but this should say it all: it’s enough to make you go “there’s no way they can win…” (laughs)."
This makes me hope we see future-Beerus teleport in and get torn in two or something crazy. No matter how bad he whoops future trunks I don't think it would seem hopeless.
I'd honestly prefer if they toned down Beerus's involvement in this arc. I know Toriyama's comments mentioned him, but I feel like we've had a bit too much of his character since Super started. Even in RF, him and Whis practically hijacked the entire story. I'd rather that wasn't the case AGAIN.
Oh, man. I REALLY hope (Present) Kid Trunks AND hopefully, by extension, Goten, get some REAL character development this story arc. Seriously, I don't even think I can begin to describe how much a wasted opportunity it would be to not have them develop mentally AND physically this time around.

BTW, I also seriously hope (though I doubt it :problem: ) that Beerus AND Whis don't have too much screentime this story arc. I also feel like the moment they show up it's going to be for freakin' food..... again. :lolno: Not to mention, everything's going to feel REALLY safe once those two show up. As I said in my last post, I want something as dark and intuitive as the Andriod/Cell sagas

Thirding keeping Beerus and Whis offstage for this arc or most of it. Tension goes right out the window otherwise and I hope they realize it.
