Turles being bought back for a day would be cool as itd not undermine his surprisingly well done death
comes out I was right, latest episode confirms him being still dead
Yeah you called it. It also implies he's not on the same team as Raditz.

Is she saving 3 timelines or does only 1 timeline get kept based on round two versus the hooded dudes.
Yamcha almost certainly did not cheat on Bulma:
He was afraid of Women, Bulma was the flirty one.
Yamcha wanted to get married (it was his gonna be his wish)
He suggested they settle down in the Trunks saga.
Alternate future Trunks is not a reliable source.
Toriyama wanted new SSJ Kids and not make new characters.

That was a good animated episode

SSJ3 Raditz was nice but I don't know something feel weird about him and Tullece, probably their artsyle as they resemble Vegeta and Gohan respectively.

- Love how Yamcha is getting some love in this arc lol

- God Trunks vs. Black Hood guy was a bit lame, but I liked Aios introduction
Eh ? Good animation? It looked like shit and had a lot of stills..

I wish we had a more manga-based anime. That Jiren-Hit-Broly fight looks dope, it sucks SDBH gets the DBS treatment.

Short-haired SSG Trunks looks much better than the previous one.


Something I've noticed, specially now that my japanese is getting rustier, is that you don't need subs to understand this anime lol.

Yeah its a shame both anime versions are bad, it doesn't need to be that way as they aren't adapting a slow manga, so they didn't have that z era excuse.

Was about to ask the same thing. Does this anime have any sort of schedule at all?

The promo anime was always slightly erratic, roughly following a monthly schedule but sometimes adjusting that so there would be an episode at the very beginning and very end of a single month, and then picking back up again monthly two months later, sometimes focusing some of those episodes around a specific in-person event or anniversary live stream.

... which is all to say, no, it's never had a very strict schedule.

As a reminder, we do have an actual full website (!!!), and we do have a complete list of episodes and their debut dates:

https://www.kanzenshuu.com/episode/sdbh-promo/list/

The official website for the series does not currently list any info about a third episode of the current arc:

https://www.carddass.com/dbh/sdbh_ugm/anime/

... but it's been about two months since the last episode, and in recent memory they've had some fairly quick turnaround times between announcement and release.

It's worth pointing out that this is a region-restricted online-only series intended strictly for a Japanese audience, so while I don't necessarily see much of it here exactly, it's always good to remember that unless that's you (someone physically Japan who also speaks Japanese), this series isn't "for you" and there's not much worth getting up in arms about over its schedule or content.

Two and half months now and still not a thing. It shouldn't be taking this long for a 7 minute episode.

Just read the manga it's better anyway, and when the anime comes out see it as a nice bonus

I guess it's the combination of the Toei hack + them being busy with promoting Super Hero now.

Come on man, I sympathise with the people who claim they feel that way about mainline super, but the anime here has massive missing plot threads, and doesnt't adapts the first like 2/3rds of the heroes story.

It shows shit for brief seconds like Raditz vs Turles and Buu vs Janemba but never concludes anything. It's very much an advert for the game and feels that way to watch it.

The manga still isn't "high art" but if you never heard of the heroes games you'd assume it was meant to be like that, just a bit weird.

Right and that's fine, it is what it is, you can't hate when it's honest.

But I feel like the manga doesn't feel like that, and is unfairly tarnished by the same brush.

I'm not saying the Manga is a masterpiece or anything but yeah...

the manga, you might notice, isn't called "Promotional Manga" in its title.
So it at least TRIES to be a regular manga.

It's been forever! But I'm happy they finally decided on a date :thumbup:
Had a feeling they were waiting for the manga to reach the same part.

I'm actually slightly hype I prefer the manga but we have a drought of DB content until the movie and new xv dlcs are out and I still like the DBs manga but I doubt there's any huge spikes of dopamine in the remainder of granolahs arc.

Very, very good to see Piccolo wearing something else. Dude's been stuck with the very same clothes for decades, so even if this outfit is not that different (if compared to the outfits the Time Patrollers wear in relation to their own counterparts), it's still something fresh to see, finally. Another female fighter (and awesome design, at that!), that's what I like to see!

A cool fight between Gohan and Trunks, but more importantly and interestingly, what's involved here. So in his timeline, the androids killed Trunks and Bulma, huh? Wonder if Gohan will get a transformation (come on Heroes, at least Super Saiyan 2 for the death his beloved ones!).

Awesome shot this one is! Here he comes, boys! :D (please don't take another entire century to release the next episode, thank you!)
