"Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

[Chuquita]

Seeing as next year's Precure is doing that thing the previous year's did with a load of "form changes" that will likely involve lots of CGI, I'm perfectly ok with Toei sending whatever 2D animators would otherwise lose work because of this possible-precure-cgi-glut-part-2 over to Super to help animate the battles there instead.
I am so sad at how disappointed I am so far in next year's Precure series. I haven't dropped a Precure series since dropping Doki Doki partway through, and even that I eventually picked back up later, but I don't see anything that grabs my interest in MahoPri and multiple things I don't care for and it's so sad to me. The only thing I like about it so far is the confirmation of normal-sized witch hats when they're in civilian form.

So Toriyama states that the gang are chasing for Giant Balls,however,the Dragon balls are in Champa's stage and it doesnt seem like Toriyama is refering to Jaco and Bulma searching for that 1 ball.Does this basically mean that someone will stole the SDB in the tournament? If so,I can see the tournament being distracted again (hopefully it will happen in the final fight)

Japanese lacks true plurals most of the time. I don't know how it was phrased in the Japanese press statements, but it's a possibility that they could only go searching for the one orb after the tournament.

If that's the case, then Universe 7 will probably win the Tournament, which I'd rather they didn't. Well, either way, there's still several plots that Toriyama could make up.

I wonder about Zuno. What's the point of introducing him and then having him say to not bother him for a year? Sure, anyone but Bulma can still ask him stuff but I get the feeling they won't.

[Chuquita]

Was anyone able to get pictures of the rest of Toriyama's character art for the Uni 6 arc at Jump Festa? Anything of not!Tarble?

[TheDevilsCorpse]

I've looked, sort of. I've done some general browsing and turned up nothing. Heroes is easier to search for in more "obscure" places, like Japanese blogs, because the potential tags are much simpler. I don't really know what to use to narrow down the search for something like this since I don't know the language in the first place.

[Black_Liger]

If anyone is interested, I put the text on the amazon text of the Super OST, and it appears to be the real thing, it also says something like "Releases same day as music collection" also talks about Sumitomo, so that's a given since the description for what appears to be the song collection is much shorter and different.


Anyways. have a look

Why wouldn't it be the real thing? Amazon isn't the only site to have the listing up.

No matter who wins the tournament, it will must likely end in chaos. Beerus and Champa aren't the type who handle defeat well. A 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai type ending might be what we get. Everyone is watching the tournament (bar Gohan), Kaioshins and Hakaioshins included. I'm imagining someone traps everyone, either someone from Universe 7(who's already present) or the arc villain makes his first appearance.

Zuno, disappointingly enough was only a tool for exposition and to move the plot. His future role will likely be "being who tells secret stuff, when the main characters need the stuff".

Same here. Kyabe/Cabe only comes up twice in the 2nd most recent 2ch thread: http://mastiff.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/anime/1450648578/ and not at all in the current one http://mastiff.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/an ... 798707/l50 making it and the other rumored team names not decisive enough evidence for me to feel like 'yes these are the names'. Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel if those were the names that people in the 2ch thread would be talking about it more.
I know some Japanese, but I'm nowhere near skilled enough in it and still not fast enough to really dig through heavy sources to find any Jump Festa photos.

I'm still really surprised that photos/video of Toriyama's Zuno drawing made it out of Jump Festa, but nothing related to his drawings of Team Champa.

Were the fans that went to Jump Festa that much let-down by Team Champa that none of them bothered to take pictures? ^^;

I saw some people doubting if it was either the soundtrack or the song collection. So I tried looking into it. Since I would very much like a soundtrack release.

[SaiyanZ]

Oh nice, the OST! The track that plays when Goku loses to Beerus and Freeza's theme are my favs so far I think.

[Noah]

I don't like Sumitomo tracks, I wish we had a better composer for this series

[Araki]

2ch'ers are not sure those were real names, apparently only that one person claimed to see the designs there. That's why they're mostly avoiding it.

Many thanks! :3
That's what I was suspecting (especially after a similar situation happened with Toei's upcoming MahoPri; I've learned to not take any rumor-names at face value if they don't have legit evidence to back it up).

Waiting until next month's VJump is fine with me.

Looks like the 3rd Blu ray box of dragon ball Super will be out on June 2nd 2016 according to amazon japan.

Of course Toei is already preparing their pockets. That's the arc everyone has been waiting for.
But the cover can still be changed?! Since Box 1 just had the 1-star Dragon Ball, i thought they would follow that pattern.

But if that's the final cover, it just screams "Give us all your money."

No its not likely the final cover. It is probably just a placement picture until the official cover's release.

Do animation companies even really make that much money from DVD sales anyhow?

The production committees do, as they put up the bulk of the money used to produce a series. Series that air at late night rely heavily on home video sales to help make back their money.
