"Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

[Zelvin]

The Dragon Ball Heroes manga seems to take place in the future of the GT timeline, and even the card-game within the story is related to time-traveling, it's not entirely a fake digital world.

It still doesn't make sense. Also, I remember the Monster Rancher anime from way back. And it literally has the MC being sucked into his game console. Heroes really doesn't seem to be anything more than a cluster of things. It's great Dimps does such an amazing job with it. But there isn't any real form of continuity to it and the battles are so off-kilter that it can't be taken in any way seriously. It's just a ball of crazy fun.

Anime doesn't need to change to whatever for no reason and soap operas do have quality, depending on the country.

It doesn't need to change because all's working our great in anime world and industry right now?

And really, soaps suck in every country. US soaps, Latin American, Korean, British etc etc. Crappy writing all across the board. Some countries get beter casts which helps a lot, but overall they never come close to quality of primetime shows

Seems there's more to Goku's (supposed) tournament opponent than we think. He could be the main antagonist of what's to come... and I hope so as well. He looks really interesting.

That's interesting, I wouldn't be mad if the turned out to be a villain.

[LongLostSaiyan]

That pic is starting to cement the idea for me that Goku and Heat will be the final fight.

Do you guys think Goku will have a new form in this serie? I hope so.

One of the producers said he would when it was announced but hopefully it'll be after the U6 arc cause we just got a new form.

[Neon Z]

Considering how we got completely unnecessary new form in RoF, I'm pretty sure we'll see a new form introduced again towards the end of the Universe 6 arc.

How do you think it'll be introduced ? Do you think he already has it (he reached it during his 3 years of training with Vegeta who also might have it) or he'll reach it through anger ?

I'm intrigued, if the character is the villain, I hope they play it coy. Strong but not quite enough, provides handicaps for himself. I would like something like that. He could also be the second-in-command for the main villain and is there to gather info. I would also like that.

Could you please provide a source? I don't remember that. I really don't want new forms for the Saiyans, too many already. Give Piccolo a Namekian God, something...
SSB looks nice, let it be!

I'm pretty sure that was him saying he hopes for that.

He definitely looks like a 2nd in command so hopefully that's the case.

It's somewhere on this topic but I don't know where.

I just realized something. If the purple guy is indeed named Heat (not Hit), and since we know races in DB are named after thesame scheme, Heat's race might be some kind of counterpart to Freeza's race. One namd after the ice pun and the other after a fire pun. Which might mean somekind of rivalry between Heat and Froze, which might be interesting.

In other words they could be U6's Goku and Vegeta ?

-Goku's new form-
i think more than anything Goku and Vegeta should get both a new technique.

The Three monkeys technique would be a interesting one for Goku.

They could have come up with other color for him. We just had a purple villain in BOG, a gold and purple villain in ROF, and now other purple (villain?!) in U6. And I'm not couting with Champa.
Design wise?! I love it. Color?! I would go differently.

[sintzu]

Hopefully Viz won't take to long to release it.

I really do not want more transformations for the saiyans for a while. I want new moves and techniques. Let's update their movesets with something new, that's not just more powerful Kamehameha.

But honestly not a single move can let you win a fight IF the opponent is stronger.

That isn't true. Shunken Ido Kamehameha, Genki Dama, Kienzan, Makankōsappō, probably the kikoho. There's many, I didn't even mentioned all of them.

That's not what I really had in mind. I was thinking more like the Saiyan-Tuffle rivalry, but now that you mention it...
