I was really hoping to see her. Heck, I feel that SHE should have shown up at the end of this arc instead of the Omni-King for that matter. :(

After this arc, will she ever be canon/have a reason to show up in Super? :(

No. She's my least favorite character in the entire franchise.

Somewhat, but I'm not too surprised she didn't appear.

Not at all. Don't really care for video game only characters.

Nah, I'm actually upset that the GoD of Universe 10 is pretty much non-existent.

Not really. Plus if she showed up then fanservice trash like Mira,Towa, and Time-Breaker Bardock would start showing up, and they should stay away from Super. (Unless it means making Tims-Breaker Yamcha canon, now that I'm okay with :p)

Nope. She's still strictly a video game character and should stay that way. I don't want any lore from the Xenoverse/Hereos/Online to leak into Super. It already has enough fan service as it is.

I would have greatly enjoyed if Trunks and Mai both joined the time patrol at the end of the arc since there was nothing to go back to.

Agreed. Instead of living in a timeline where there would be two of them. It would all feel like an illusion after a while since the people there won't truly be the actual people they spent their lives with before. Although completely identical, and with the same memories up to that point, they aren't truly the people from the timeline that Future Trunks and Mai came from

I feel like toriyama wanted to keep trunks around and made his hair blue to differentiate him..
But changed his mind as the story he wrote progressed..

Trunks' hair was blue in the Battle of Gods design sheet. The idea that Toriyama wanted to differentiate his alternate future and present self with hair color isn't likely. He wanted to use that color and that was that. Considering how he creates his Dragon Ball stories now, I also doubt that he changed his mind along the way in the Future Trunks arc similar to his Weekly Shonen Jump days. It's a completely different working environment, in that he likely has to think long-term more often than before. Using Jaco the Galactic Patrolman for a recent reference, while tiring, he felt that he was able to complete it at his own pace as opposed to old extremities.
