"Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

[pacz360]

Kinda intrigued really but i really want to know about the human water thing who's gonna use it tho hopefully it's someone else.

[Sodhi]

Or this could be that uni 7 lost and the earth is in uni 6 with copy vegeta, arale and stuff like that.

[Noah]

And still no shit about Bra being born yet...

-Arale-
So apparently, every female character can appear in this series except Lunch?! Seems legit.

[alakazam^]

I'm sure Toyotarou tried including her but everytime he'd subtly ask Toriyama for Lunch he'd just say it was in the refrigerator so he gave up.

New episode titles (huge pictures!):

Spoiler:

Episode 42 - "Finally, the confrontation with Monaka!?" - May 8th, written by King Ryu
Episode 43 - "Having a hard time taking care of Pan" - May 15th
Episode 44 - "The secret of the released Choujinsui" - May 22nd <- I might have the verb mistaken so have that in mind. Anyway, the scan says 超人水(Choujinsui) as in "Super Human Water" but it might be a typo for 超神水(Choushinsui), the special water/poison used by Karin.
Episode 45 - "The wonder of copy Vegeta" - May 29th <- Yeah, I have no idea as well so please disregard this one until we have more information

So... after losing against Monaka, Vegeta is forced to take care of Pan which drives him crazy so he goes to use Karin's water and creates a double?

Count me excited again for Super.
Arale's a lot of fun, happy to have her return be it as a kid or adult.

Can't wait to find out who babysits Pan.
Relieved that the Monaka plot goes somewhere after all.
Also, Copy Vegeta, huh? So excited!

Fuck, i don't like it one bit, Dr Slump and Dragon Ball can't exist in the same universe.

You know, except for the time they already crossed over in the manga and anime, and therefore do exist in the same universe (or at least some version of the Dr. Slump cast does).

Man...I wonder if we'll see how old everyone in Penguin Village is at this point...or if they'll have not aged at all in some sort of creepy fashion.

You could say that the Dr. Slump characters in Dragon Ball are not the same as they are in Dr. Slump. Dr. Slump does have a different looking Earth than the one in Dragon Ball and the Earth did get destroyed in Dr. Slump than it was restore back to normal a panel later. Anyways, it's cool to see Arale back. This is probably her first animated appearance in almost 20 years since the 1997 TV series.

Assuming Super won't have a 7-episode arc, it's safe to say it'll pass the 52 episodes we already knew were coming. This might appease some people.

Toriyama confirming a new story after the tournament basically confirmed that there wil be more than 52.

Where the hell is the filler episode about Android 17 and his family!?!?!

Ah, although I am happy that we get Arale again

It's new Dragon Ball series after 18 years, with Toriyama involved. Anything less than 100 would be disappointing.

I want many more than 100 epsodes but obviously only if it does not stay as the Goku and Vegeta show.

[sintzu]

I want many more than 100 epsodes but obviously only if it does not stay as the Goku and Vegeta show.

It's been that way for the last 3 arcs so chances are that's how it'll continue to be moving foreword.

I dont like to count the first 2 arcs as they are based on the movies but this arc has maxed out my acceptance of it being the Goku amd Vegeta show, so if it continues like this then I will just lose interest.

[DainIronfoot]

I'm so confused at the moment lol. I don't know what to make of these titles.

Spoiler:

So...is it actually Monaka who steps into the ring when Champa unleashes the Kraken or...?

The person in the ring is suppose to be next episode with the dragon in episode 41 and then Monaka does something in 42.

[ArchedThunder]

What if Arale is just on the TV because Dr. Slum is on?

[sintzu]

I don't like to count the first 2 arcs as they are based on the movies.

But they're still arcs that could've been changed a bit to give Gohan & Piccolo bigger roles but they didn't.

If anything, their roles were reduced even further cause at least in the BOG movie Beerus took out Gohan by kicking him in the stomach unlike the arc where he was taken out by getting hit with Buu.

The tournament arc could've given Gohan something to do on earth while everyone was away but it didn't, it didn't even show him doing just normal activities.

[dbgtFO]

What if Arale is just on the TV because Dr. Slum is on?

That could be the case too. They did have Neko Majin comic books instead of having him actually appear and the episode is supposed to be a Gohan & family episode, so maybe it could just be them watching her on the tele.
