Piccolo fans better hope that my interpretation is right as it could be him.
Not that we know of, a new villain could be a time traveler who goes though multiple timelines and ends up in Trunks'.

Piccolo isn't getting anything regardless of who it is.

He basically confirmed that future Trunks is returning. No other characters match the description he gave. :thumbup: #Hype

If I am interpretating right it has to be Piccolo.

It is Gohan who will get nothing probably .

With Future Trunks that is basically the Androids and Cell all over again which I doubt he will do.

There is still more to come out from the interview as well.[

What I am saying is that the future word means in future story arcs not characters from future timelines

Surely he can't give away such a big spoiler like Future Trunks returning. They take time when responding and writting these interviews to not give a lot away.

He could also mean someone like uub.

I am basically saying you should not hope for Future Trunks return.

You aren't interpreting. You are just projecting your fan wishes unto a statement, that couldn't possibly imply Piccolo regaining prominence. The only saving grace is the fact that the japanese language can be notoriously ambigious, enough so that even Herms' translation might not properly reflect that.
Surely he can't give away such a big spoiler like Future Trunks returning.
They say a certain character related to the future will appear and that the character in question was very popular, which fits Future Trunks to a tee(even more popular than Ultimate Gohan during the battle with Gotenks-Buu and that was after having zero involvement in the story the entire arc!).
Toriyama himself spoiled they'd be fighting their U6 counterparts and they'd travel to other universes and now he's even implying the next villain will have white hair.
And neither he nor Toyotaro directly state it either way. They are just building the hype, perhaps to have even more people jump on board the Super bandwagon.
No one knows for certain just how much Toriyama is willing to spoil, so don't act like this implication is somehow impossible.

Reading the translation I think Gohan is finished.

If it is Future Trunks I will say it is the one in universe 6 as he returns to try and save earth as earth is destroying itself currently.

You know, I can't help but be a little curious. These little "bombshell" tidbits were in a portion of the interview not even in Super Volume 1, so I wonder what might be inside. Perhaps nothing big, but who knows...

Probably something bigger. These questions were used to get people to buy the volume.

The only characters with white hair are Whis & Vados, right now. So the next enemy could be one of their own race. With him/her/it beeing weaker then Beerus. And as we saw Whis can turn back time. So one of their kind could have greater time traveling power. That's the reason why Future Trunks could be involved.

But with the white vs blue hair I thought it could had to do with Freezar.

In my opinion Whis & Beerus are getting stronger, too. And I hope they will dig into the Namekian Book of Legends legend, maybe if they encounter Zarama.

Are you sure they didn't just take the interview that's in the volume and put it up on their website ?

I think Toriyama was talking about Frieza when he mentioned the colour clash with white and not a new upcoming villain.

If Future Trunks comes back and it's handled poorly, am I allowed to say Super has officially jumped the shark? There's been fanservice in this series before, but this is a whole new level.
I could have gotten into anything...and yet I chose the story aimed at young Japanese boys about martial arts, and later about super-powerful aliens punching each other really hard.

It could be a time villain that they chase to his timeline or someone he chases to their's.

I doubt he's just going to bring him back without any reason.

Or maybe there is a villain so powerful that they can be a threat not only to the 12 universes but multiple timelines as well. Maybe they have full control of time manipulation? Who knows.

I dunno. Before RF, I doubted they would introduce a new Super Saiyan form with no explanation as to where it came from and how they got it. I sure was proven wrong there!

Basically, nothing will surprise me anymore. You could have Broly show up and I wouldn't be surprised. He sells merchandise, after all.

"First I was going to have it be white, but that would clash with the 'next enemy'

Why not just say it would've clashed with Freeza ? and even that wouldn't make much sense cause he was Gold when they fought him.

It was explained, it's Ssjg without the need of the ritual.

This is likely.Kinda like Demigra/Towa type villain.Trunks wouldn't come back for no reason whatsoever.

I seriously doubt Toriyama had made future plans for the design of a new villain when he wrote the story for RoF.

Herms said it's a bonus interview. I can only go by what he said.

He wasn't, he's talking about the new enemy we haven't seen yet. He's saving SSG White for later.

You shouldn't be surprised. Toriyama planned for Freeza to come back before he even made Battle of Gods.

So Future Trunks is probably going to return.....

I never really cared that much about Trunks as a character, so I don't really have much of an opinion on this. If it is him, I just hope that they try to fit it in without making it seem too fan-fictiony.
Heroes come and go, but legends are forever.

60.

Rest in peace.
