English dub of Buu Saga Kai airing on Toonami
New movie announced for 2017 will probably have Universe 6 shit, and end with
Super will start off 2016 with Universe 6, and conclude with the hunt for the Super Dragon Balls.
Dragon Ball Multiverse will reach it's climax.
DBZ Abridged will end the year with SSJ2 Gohan (or the Cell Games begin if they continue to waste time on that shitty FF7 Abridged). Lo and behold, 2 hours ago, they uploaded Ep 51, ending with Perfect Cell.
I might actually get a piece of legit DB merch for the first time in 10 years.
The Iron Fjord will kick you in the nuts!

In ROF, Goku said that Freeza could be a good rival if he wasn't so evil.
That Freeza's race guy in Champa's team will make Goku's wish come true. :wink:
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

Zarama, if revealed, will be a quirky looking lizard/small dragon with a goofy personality.

Half the fanbase will riot over how lame he is or simply be disappointed that he's not an all-encompassing god with the personality of, idk, Galactus or something.
"Dragon Ball once became a thing of the past to me, but after that, I got angry about the live action movie, re-wrote an entire movie script, and now I'm complaining about the quality of the new TV anime. It seems Dragon Ball has grown on me so much that I can't leave it alone." - Akira Toriyama on Dragon Ball Super

I think that's to be expected at this point, considering how Toriyama isn't a fan of unpredictability anymore and that Bulma even comments on the newest chapter that the incantation sounds ridiculous.

I don't think Goku losing to Beerus twice was predictable.

To be fair, I was pleasantly surprised by most of the universe 6 fighters' designs. I expected two female saiyans and the rest to be silly looking aliens or animals like that Pooh bear.

Oh. Yeah, I kinda get your point. But honestly, would you have come up with a design like Monaca or Zuno?

Beerus has a simple look, but still look powerful in my opinion. I could not ask for a better design from Toriyama for Beerus.

Fans expect Monaka to have a badass transformation,however,hoMonaka will have a transformation even more ridiculous looking that his original self and Kanzenshuu and other DB community will have a shitstorm of complaining.

I remeber back in the day when Beerus' design was first revealed and pretty much 90% of the fanbase outside of Kanzenshuu hate him and call him Bugs Bunny,Anubis,Mewtwo etc.. and the internet is flooded by whiners and said that the movie will suck and now he was one of the fan favorites.I can see this also happening to Monaka and the other new characters.

I wouldn't but I'm not a character designer either. Everyone was expecting Monaka to be some weak-looking warrior with a simple design. The trope has been overused so far to the point where the big bulky muscle man would have been the unpredictable choice.

But, to be fair, I like most of the new designs Toriyama has done, probably only 25% of them are meh or bad to me. I just don't think he's being unpredictable with the way he makes his characters anymore.

If AT wants his character designs to be unpredictable again he may have to look into video game character designs. I mean just look at saints row, & other games that allow a wide range of possibilities.

He can just borrow some of his Dragon Quest designs, honestly. They have a lot more effort put into them than Monaka did.

Another Timeskip
Hopefully we get an aged up Goten and trunks, doubt it though.
Toei will hopefully put more effort into Universe 6 because it's new content, but I doubt it.

2. U6 Chapter starts.
3. Goku or Vegeta go Beyond Bluper.
4. One of the U6 new characters turns into a bad guy and becomes a real threat.
5. Super starts to bring/use elements from GT.
6. Super's Animation and Super in General keeps getting hated by non fans for no reason whatsoever.
7. Gohan, Vegeta and Chichi are continuously being buried by non fans. ( "Super makes Gohan a clown, Super makes Vegeta look like a fool and Chichi is a bad Mother/Wife)

I think it'll be a slow year TBH. They just started a new series. What's to beexpecte

heroes content

a game for USA to play with everyone else

super episodes

confirmation if super will go on pass universe 6 or not



I don't care for kai's buu saga as funi has downgraded with kai, and the Z buu saga dub was the cast at their best for Z when they didn't do anything purest seamed to hate like dub lining a lot or the early untrained voices.

tfs episodes and films if u count that.
Any post before 8/7/2016 isn't mine. This account was a gift from someone who thought the account was already banned. Saved me the trouble of making a new one haha XD

I love DB/DBZ/DBGT/DBZK/DBS (If I didn't why would I be here? XD)

Well he did reuse Tights design of Dragon Quest V's Bianca. Like even the pose is 100% the same.

He could reuse some of his other Dragon Quest monster designs from Super if he wanted too.
